A pregnant woman has spoken of a tough dilemma she is facing. Her ex-husband is terminally-ill and he has asked to see her one last time.
However, her current husband has said he will divorce her if she goes ahead and visits him to say goodbye. The woman, who got a divorce three years ago, has received lots of support on the Reddit community TrueOffMyChest after sharing her story.
She explained that it wasn't her decision to divorce her ex, but when he secretly became diagnosed with a medical condition, he left her because he 'didn't want to ruin what we had and become a burden'. The Mirror reports the anonymous woman further explained: "He's very sick right now and has asked to see me probably for the last time.

"My current husband got extremely upset with me when I mentioned it to him and threatened to divorce me if I go. I'm five months pregnant and feel like I'm seeing a side of my now husband that I [sic] never seen before.
"He called this inappropriate and that my ex was being manipulative. He told me he'd divorce me if I see him but this could be my last chance to say goodbye to him."
The pregnant woman said she will feel 'terrible' if he passes away without being able to see him one last time, but that there's 'a lot at stake' and that she doesn't want to sneak around behind her husband's back. Many people online sympathised with the woman, saying her husband is being manipulative.
One person said: "Yeah he's jealous over a sick man. Completely unjustified and quite pathetic. Plus giving her an ultimatum? Wtf run girl!"
Another added: "You still loved him and he still loved you and if he didn't have the medical condition, you would still be together. You know what the right answer is."
But others could see her current husband's side as it was clear she still loves her ex husband. One person commented: "I'm not going to say what your current husband did is right, but I will say it's coming from a place of hurt."
