BABY monitors were invented to give parents reassurance and peace of mind.
However, one woman was left shocked by what she overheard on her parenting gadget.
In her post, the Reddit user explained how her baby monitor revealed a harsh truth about her relationship.
She revealed that she often takes her 15-month-old son to her mum’s while her husband works long hours.
This time, she accidentally left one of her baby monitors switched on in the family home before leaving.
While minding their child, the Reddit user overheard a phone call her husband made.
She recalled how he asked the person on the other end of the phone to “come over”.
The mum was even able to hear the response, which came from a female.
“He said: ‘I love you baby’ and she said: ‘I love you too,'” the original poster said.
“I also heard him say he’s off work tomorrow, he conveniently didn’t send me his schedule so I didn’t know.”
The Reddit user discovered that the affair had been going on for nine months.
She confronted her husband and he claimed that he had cut all ties with his mistress before that night.

The poster described how she felt “sick” being under the same roof as him.
She revealed that her husband confirmed that he has had this other woman in their home and in their bed before.
As well as lying straight to his wife’s face, the man proved he couldn’t be loyal to anyone.
His wife, who had been continuing to spy on him via the baby monitor, learned just how bad his cheating habit was.

“Then, he got a call and said: ‘Sorry baby, this is important, I have to take it.'”
She revealed that the suspicious phone call was with his ex-girlfriend.
“I know his girlfriend has no idea he’s talking to her too,” she said.
Reddit users shared their thoughts on the situation in the comments section.
“I’d honestly start having your mom come there. Make it inconvenient as hell for him,” suggested one reader.
“He’s probably told her you split so no longer coming to your home will raise some red flags.”
“Time to become a mother first and protect your child for their future,” another commenter said.
“Shut off wife mode and do everything you can to secure your baby’s future.”
“You’ve got to think long game. If you play along and get your ducks in order behind the scenes the fallout will be more beneficial for you,” wrote a third person.
