AITA for being “cold-hearted” when my cheating wife and brother lost their baby?

Betrayal cuts deep — especially when it comes from the people you trusted most. I thought I had a solid marriage and a close relationship with my brother, but behind my back, the two of them were destroying my life. When I uncovered their affair and found out my wife was pregnant with my brother’s child, my world collapsed. Divorce was inevitable, and I made it clear I wanted nothing more to do with either of them beyond what was necessary for our kids. But recently, tragedy struck when their baby was stillborn, and my parents expected me to push my pain aside and offer sympathy. The problem? I simply couldn’t — not after what they had done.

Am I Really the Villain Here?

Let’s find out what other Redditors think about this story.

I understand that loss is devastating, but forgiveness isn’t something you can demand — especially when the wounds are still raw and the people grieving are the same ones who caused them. I’ve chosen to protect my peace and keep my boundaries, even if it makes me look like the villain in my parents’ eyes. I didn’t create this situation, and I won’t pretend to be their source of comfort while they mourn a child conceived in betrayal. Whether that makes me heartless or simply human… I’ll let others decide.
