The couple had been together for over a decade and were desperate for children.
But after struggling to conceive, things started to unravel.

She said: 'I'd like to think that was the breaking point in our marriage, because we both wanted kids so badly.'
She believed, aside from that pain, their relationship was solid.
But one ordinary Tuesday, Mark came home from work and asked for a divorce out of the blue.
Heartbroken and confused, she turned to her sister, her closest confidante, for support.

But that, she now says, was a 'big mistake.'
Although she still doesn't know if her sister and husband had been secretly involved before the divorce, what happened next made things crystal clear.

As the divorce dragged on, partly because she earned significantly more than Mark and he was, according to her, 'trying to take the majority of my money'.
She discovered her sister and ex were in fact officially seeing each other.
Before the papers were even signed.
'It was such a shock,' she said.
'I was absolutely distraught.'
But now, some time has passed and with her ex and sister tying the knot, she's able to see it in a very different light.
She revealed the couple now have a child together and she would be on auntie duty, babysitting their love child through the wedding ceremony.
Despite the shocking betrayal, she says she's not bitter.
In fact, she's surprisingly upbeat about the whole thing.
She said: 'I've escaped a lifetime of hurt with that man. And honestly, I think it's hilarious my sister's so desperate, she ended up with my ex.'
Now, with a new chapter ahead, she's hoping the wedding brings at least one silver lining.
'Let's hope there's some hot single men at the wedding,' she laughed. 'Because I need one.'

has gone viral, racking up thousands of comments from viewers urging her to get revenge smartly.
One user said: "Whoever's story this is, is stronger than me. I would never see or speak to them ever again".
Another added: "I am gobsmacked, I would never speak to my sister again".
While a third fan revealed a similar situation: "My Mum divorced my Dad and then married his identical twin brother 3 months later".
It seems betrayal within the family is more common than you might think.
Recently, a woman ran to TikTok begging for help after discovering her husband had cheated on her with her little sister.
After finding out her little sister had gone through a difficult break-up and lost her job, she let her come and stay with her and her husband, trusting her sister completely.
But that trust was shattered after she walked into the kitchen one afternoon and saw something that left her sick to her stomach.
Meanwhile, not everyone handles cheating so calmly.

Four red flags your partner is cheating
Private Investigator Aaron Bond from BondRees revealed four warning signs your partner might be cheating.
They start to take their phone everywhere with them
In close relationships, it's normal to know each other's passwords and use each other's phones, if their phone habits change then they may be hiding something.
"You should also look at how they place their phone down when not in use. If they face the phone with the screen facing down, then they could be hiding something."
They start telling you less about their day
When partners cheat they can start to avoid you, this could be down to them feeling guilty or because it makes it easier for them to lie to you.
"If you feel like your partner has suddenly begun to avoid you and they don't want to do things with you any more or they stop telling you about their day then this is another red flag."
"Partners often avoid their spouses or tell them less about their day because cheating can be tough, remembering all of your lies is impossible and it's an easy way to get caught out," says Aaron.
Their libido changes
Your partner's libido can change for a range of reasons so it may not be a sure sign of cheating but it can be a red flag according to Aaron.
Aaron says: "Cheaters often have less sex at home because they are cheating, but on occasions, they may also have more sex at home, this is because they feel guilty and use this increase in sex to hide their cheating. You may also find that your partner will start to introduce new things into your sex life that weren't there before."
They become negative towards you
Cheaters know that cheating is wrong and to them, it will feel good, this can cause tension and anxiety within themselves which they will need to justify.
"To get rid of the tension they feel inside they will try to convince themselves that you are the problem and they will become critical of you out of nowhere. Maybe you haven't walked the dog that day, put the dishes away or read a book to your children before bedtime. A small problem like this can now feel like a big deal and if you experience this your partner could be cheating," warns Aaron.
