Speaker 1 (00:00):
This is the fitsy and with her with Kate Richie podcast,
we hit a topic that's got a hell of a
lot of reaction.
Speaker 2 (00:05):
Guys.
Speaker 1 (00:06):
It was a sensitive one.
Speaker 3 (00:07):
Have a listened to this directly after birth? My four
year old told me that Daddy and Funny were in bed.
Speaker 4 (00:13):
So this is in the hospital.
Speaker 3 (00:15):
Yeah, I just delivered and my four year old come
to meet her new sister and she said, is this
mummy's baby or summy's baby?
Speaker 1 (00:24):
Did you suspected prior to this?
Speaker 3 (00:28):
Well, they're sort of related.
Speaker 1 (00:34):
How close to the birth did you find out that
they were cheating?
Speaker 4 (00:37):
We did not expect to get a call like that,
and it was so good. I even told that story
in my real life to people over the weekend, Like.
Speaker 1 (00:47):
You have real life out of this studio.
Speaker 4 (00:49):
Yeah, I know. I mean it's certainly not as happy
or as fulfilling as the one I have in here.
Speaker 1 (00:54):
No, the comments on social media through the roof, I
need to know more. Tell me more in thirty two.
If you've got a story you want to share, so
many more other people. This had happened to Kate Richie.
How listened to this after I just got into the
delivery unit at the hospital to sleep. His phone started
to ring and it was his picture with the other
girl that he was also in a relationship, and she
(01:18):
was pregnant by him. Obviously, our relationship ended. Then I
found out that he'd cheated on the other girl, and
then on another one as well that was pregnant. Ah,
what about this one? It's just from Gemini. A great
star sign, by the way, isn't it. A year after
surviving and earthquake, nine months of pregnancy in a foreign
(01:40):
country where we were living. My husband put me into
hospital citing stress. And while I was in hospital and
working out, he was working out how to move his
girlfriend into the house. When I came home, her clothes
were in the cupboard and a lot more things were happening.
But yeah, my god, I was in hospital while my
partner was out impregnating his ex wife.
Speaker 5 (02:03):
It's the sad child there's been a child has been
brought into this world, and unfortunately it's not off to
a good start.
Speaker 1 (02:10):
But he kept the secret in the family member until
he accidentally let slip that she was pregnant. He was
only sorry he got caught.
Speaker 6 (02:17):
Yeah, to have those thoughts, it's it is just blows
my mind. But you can have those thoughts where whilst
your partner is in hospital.
Speaker 4 (02:28):
It must just be the wiring.
Speaker 1 (02:30):
While I was delivering his son, he was moving in
with his girlfriend. A man to think that some guy
would see the opportunity and go, she's out of the house.
Now I can shift a few things around.
Speaker 4 (02:42):
Ah, the moving the girlfriend's stuff in while you're in
hospital and then coming home to see somebody else's trinkets
on the side.
Speaker 1 (02:51):
It happened to me just as I was being allocated
a room in hospital, and minutes before I started pushing,
I found out, Oh my god.
Speaker 5 (02:59):
That it's not you know what this mean, that you
could you could level your anger and your pain, I
suppose into getting that baby out its frustration.
Speaker 2 (03:11):
God.
Speaker 1 (03:11):
Even Lisa's mum jumped on here. Just awful, Deborah, right, thanks, Deborah.
Do you know what I don't know? Dave's having a
can on the couch?
Speaker 4 (03:22):
Did Lisa's mum really comments?
Speaker 1 (03:24):
Just awful with a like a furious blood red face.
You know, we were talking about this because the prime
ages or most likely ages to cheat came up, and
one of them was around twenty nine, and that was
around the time when a first baby is being born
and the guy can feel left out, and therefore cheating
stats were high around that time, and we couldn't believe
(03:46):
We've got to call on it, and then look at
all these other comments. It's hal Mary, but love to
know if you've got a story here, how close to
the birth did you find out they were cheating? Vanessa
in North Caliville, Ness, what happened to you?
Speaker 2 (03:59):
Welln't to me. I had a girlfriend of mine who
was married with one child with her husband, and then
right after she gave birth to their second child, he
told her that he'd been cheating on her and was
leaving her for the daycare worker that he'd been having
an affair with. And he didn't want to tell her
(04:22):
until after the birth because he didn't want to not
be allowed in the delivery room.
Speaker 4 (04:27):
Not that it might cause her stress and trauma, it
was more about whether he could turn up on the day.
Speaker 5 (04:34):
Literally the niss. The dilemma that she has to deal
with there is that, Okay, I've lost him, he's a
piece of whatever. But then she still has to go
to the day care center with her first child to
see this woman.
Speaker 2 (04:51):
Yeah, yeah, pretty, she switched Dacre.
Speaker 4 (04:55):
Yeah, I mean, they're very hard to find the.
Speaker 1 (04:59):
Spots in your area. My godness, thank you.
Speaker 5 (05:04):
Oh Celia, Celia and Ramwick. Tell us about your sister, Celia.
Speaker 7 (05:08):
Oh hi guys. Yeah, look, this is a while ago,
but my sister met this guy and they felt pregnant together.
I was quite soon into the relationship, but she was,
you know, seemed pretty happy she had the baby. She
threw a party for him for his fortieth birthday. She
called me in absolute she is going, I can't believe it.
(05:29):
I can't believe it. I've just found out that he's
been in a relationship with another woman for ten years.
I'm his mistress. And basically, yeah, all of the mutual
friends came up and said, he's used you to have
the baby because the mistress didn't want one.
Speaker 5 (05:48):
Oh my, so you were your sister was the mistress,
like she thought she was the relationship.
Speaker 7 (05:55):
Yeah, and she had no idea.
Speaker 4 (05:58):
Oh no, no idea, no idea.
Speaker 7 (06:00):
No idea, no no. She met him through mutual friends,
and you know, thought he was a Yeah.
Speaker 1 (06:06):
I have said something.
Speaker 4 (06:07):
It was surely a mutual friend would know.
Speaker 7 (06:11):
I think I think he was just one of those
guys that was really good at you know, keeping things
under wrapped, very very crafty. He's still a crafty bugger
and they from it.
Speaker 1 (06:24):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (06:25):
The big one is so he couldn't have a child
with his full on relationships, so he used your sister
to have the child and then thought, I can have
that kid and my partner can be the mother down
the track like that's crazy.
Speaker 7 (06:43):
Yeah, I know, well what the woman knew about my
sister before she cahoo.
Speaker 1 (06:49):
Yeah, they were working together as a couple.
Speaker 4 (06:51):
So you can go and do this to have a
child someone else.
Speaker 7 (06:55):
I don't want to give you my child.
Speaker 1 (06:57):
Did you know who the other person was? The other woman? No?
Speaker 7 (06:59):
I never No, No, she wouldn't want to meet me.
Speaker 4 (07:03):
No, I bet not. So what's the scenario now, how
like is there you know you said this was a
long time ago. Were they all still in contact? Is
he still in the child's life?
Speaker 7 (07:13):
Oh, look he's he's in his child's life, but not
very actively. No, he's been a real deadbeat dad to
be honest. But I've got a beautiful nephew is now
twenty one. Gorgeous.
Speaker 5 (07:24):
Extraordinary story is fascinating. Did he go on to have
children himself?
Speaker 1 (07:30):
Celia and the other kids.
Speaker 7 (07:31):
Or no, No, that was it. And he hasn't really
contributed anything either, which is just bizarre. Why would you
want a child and they're not want to contribute. He
hasn't helped with his schooling or about the bloodline.
Speaker 4 (07:47):
Sometimes, you know, people get a bit weird about it all.
Speaker 3 (07:49):
I've got it, you know.
Speaker 4 (07:51):
Yeah, I don't want the name to die some guy.
Speaker 1 (07:55):
I mean, is that a clear winner for worst bloke ever?
Or is that.
Speaker 7 (08:00):
Up the list for me?
Speaker 1 (08:03):
Oh? My god?
Speaker 5 (08:05):
Beck in Orang Park, How close to the birth did
you find out?
Speaker 1 (08:08):
Beck?
Speaker 8 (08:09):
I didn't find out until my son was six weeks old,
but he actually nearly missed the birth because he was
on the phone to her in the parking lot the hospital.
Speaker 1 (08:22):
So how did you have to work it out?
Speaker 9 (08:25):
Well, it turns out that he was on the Ashley
Madison dating cheating website.
Speaker 8 (08:31):
And when that.
Speaker 9 (08:32):
List got hacked and I didn't put into an Excel spreadsheet.
Speaker 3 (08:36):
They hear there he was.
Speaker 4 (08:40):
And you found out that way.
Speaker 8 (08:42):
Yeah, So I then went and did a little bit
of digging and a little bit of searching and in
the emails and the phone and yeah, there he was.
Speaker 1 (08:50):
And who was the other girl?
Speaker 7 (08:52):
Ah?
Speaker 8 (08:53):
Some girl from Canberra.
Speaker 9 (08:55):
So what he was doing was going and seeing her
under the pretensive being at work, and yeah, it wasn't
coming home.
Speaker 4 (09:04):
How was this your first child?
Speaker 3 (09:06):
It was?
Speaker 1 (09:07):
It was and you broke up, did you bet?
Speaker 8 (09:11):
Yes?
Speaker 1 (09:11):
Yes, try and make it work or that was it?
Speaker 9 (09:16):
On and off for a little while because stupidly Peter's
getting rid of her.
Speaker 8 (09:20):
What a terrible mistake. So we did that for.
Speaker 9 (09:23):
A few months before I was like, you know what,
I have enough going on.
Speaker 8 (09:26):
I have a new boy.
Speaker 4 (09:27):
Yes, absolutely, and that's where your energy needs to be.
It's such a vulnerable time, though, isn't it.
Speaker 1 (09:32):
Has he been all right? Dad beg.
Speaker 8 (09:36):
On and off.
Speaker 9 (09:38):
It was rough at the start, like he's pretty good
with him now. Ye like to spend lots of time,
doesn't like to contribute a lot of money.
Speaker 8 (09:46):
But that's okay time.
Speaker 9 (09:49):
You know, he makes the best of the situation you've got.
Speaker 1 (09:51):
Thank you for the story.
