A woman’s husband started dating her brother’s wife, and their old friend group still shows up to game night: ‘They want to keep playing D&D’

A TikTok creator has shared the story of how her husband left her for her brother’s wife. The most concerning part wasn’t the betrayal itself, but the slow realization that their friend group closed ranks around the husband and shut her out. WGTC has not been able to independently verify these claims, and the husband, brother, and sister-in-law involved have not been reached for comment.

Recapping the situation for her newer viewers, she said her husband began a relationship with her brother’s wife. The two are now living together. Both marriages remain intact, per what she revealed. “I am still married to my husband, and my brother is still married to his wife, and they are dating,” she added.

She also alleged that her husband took more than $5,000 from her, and that after she described the affair publicly, he contacted her utility providers and had her power and gas shut off. “It’s a whole thing, very dramatic,” she said. 

The friend group picked a side

The group in question was a Dungeons & Dragons table. They’d played alongside one another for eight years, across weekends, game days, and had a running campaign. 

She stepped away from the campaign after learning about the affair, because she could no longer sit at a table with her husband. He, however, stayed in it.

She said the group publicly denounced the husband, but they checked in to the games anyway. What’s more, her messages all went unanswered. When she pressed for an explanation, she was told the problem was discussing the drama on TikTok.

“We can excuse an affair, we can excuse stealing over five grand,” she said, underlining their logic. But talking about it, apparently, was the unforgivable act. “They’re mad that I seem, like, hateful towards him. I hate him. He cheated on me with my brother’s wife.”

The reaction gets more scrutinized than the act itself

The TikTok creator then drew a comparison to a wider pattern in which a woman’s reaction to being wronged always takes precedence over the conduct itself. 

“You hit me with your car,” she offered as a hypothetical, “and it’s like, I can’t believe she’s yelling at you.” 

In her specific case, though, she believes the group is more worried about the campaign. “I truly think it’s because they are cowards,” she said, and added: “They want to keep playing D&D.”

The video has garnered hundreds of thousands of likes and thousands of comments. “They knew ahead of time,” mused one user. 

Others were just there to show their support. “Commenting to help with the divorce fund,” wrote one person.

“They were his friends, not your friends,” one comment read. “I’m so sorry this happened to you.”

“Yeah, this is a thing,” one user claimed. “People get more mad about the person ‘airing your dirty laundry’ than the person who made the laundry dirty.”

The campaign, she said, is still running without her.
