Sometimes good deeds have bad consequences.
Everyone has certain aspects about their life they prefer to keep private. There are secrets within every family, some perfectly innocent and others less so.
Keeping details about your past to yourself isn't necessarily an indication of wrongdoing, but there are plenty of things we don't wish to share with the wider world - or even those close to us.
‌
One woman was doing a good deed when she ended up uncovering a huge secret within her own family - and it could have disastrous consequences for her relationship with two of her loved ones.
‌
The doting daughter had decided to clear out a messy cupboard of her mother's but the kind-hearted gesture could well have destroyed her marriage.
At the back of the wardrobe, she found a shoebox that held a USB stick. She decided to pop it into the computer in case there was anything important on it.
However, she instantly regretted her decision. On the drive she found X-rated pictures of her mum.
And, to make matters worse, featuring in dozens of the sexy snaps was her husband.
Posting about the horrifying discovery on Reddit, the woman said: "I found pictures of my mum having sex with my husband. I'm absolutely devastated.
‌
"I'm so nervous I'm not even thinking clearly right now. In that thing, there are over 50 pictures of my husband and my mum having sex. I felt one thousand times betrayed when I saw them."
The pictures had been taken at her mum's old house, so the distraught daughter was able to work out that the fling happened before she married her hubby, who used to work with her mum.
However, she didn't clarify if the romps were before she started dating her partner - and there is no mention of her own dad in the situation.
‌
Continuing her story, the woman said: "My husband used to work for my mum, that's how I met him, but he was just an employee. It never crossed my mind that there was any attraction since my mum is 30 years older than him.
"I don't even know if I want to confront him about this, it is just so disgusting in my mind. Neither of them ever told me about being together and my mum was really happy for me when she was at my wedding."
‌
With the revelation sending her head spinning, the woman decided to ask the popular internet forum for advice. She asked her fellow Redditors: "What should I do?"
Users were quick to offer their advice to the woman and their take on the situation as a whole.

One person replied: "Right or wrong If I had found out my significant other had sex with my parents I'd be livid and couldn't continue the relationship."
Someone else said: "I knew a woman that did this - as the mother. She met a man a few years younger than her and they had a thing.
"After the thing was over, they remained friends and eventually, he was introduced to her daughter, who was 10 years younger than him and they married the next year.
"I didn't think it was a great idea to not tell the daughter, but I couldn't come up with an alternative that didn't hurt anyone. I sincerely hope that friend of mine isn't your mum."
