A woman shared her story online: she left her marriage after her husband cheated with their maid and got her pregnant, took her children with her, and later revealed that the man refused to provide financial support. Instead of focusing on the betrayal and its consequences, some reactions raised troubling questions.
One comment asked, “Why will you leave your marriage?”—as though infidelity with a maid, resulting in pregnancy, is not a valid reason to walk away.
These responses are revealing. Cheating with a maid fundamentally disrupts the home; the maid can no longer remain a neutral employee and often becomes an imposed second partner. Questioning why this woman left minimizes betrayal, ignores power imbalance, and places endurance above dignity. Such comments reflect how women’s pain is often interrogated, while accountability is postponed or diluted.
