After giving birth, my mother-in-law posted a picture of the condoms my husband and I use on TikTok.

She captioned it: "Young people these days have no self-control. They're already at it right after having a baby."

I responded by posting a photo of her cheating on my father-in-law with his brother.

My caption read: "Older folks sure know how to play the field."

I had just put the baby to sleep and opened TikTok to relax for a bit. I habitually checked my notifications, replying to friends and family who had shared videos with me.

As I scrolled down, I was surprised to see a TikTok shared by a stranger asking, "Is this you?" I recognized the profile picture as a former male colleague from my old company. Curious, I opened the shared video and immediately felt my face burn with embarrassment when I saw the caption.

The video was secretly recorded by Martha, my mother-in-law, when she came to wake me up to make breakfast for Derek. In the video, I was sound asleep, my head resting on Derek's arm. The camera panned to the right, showing a blurry condom wrapper, then zoomed in to focus on it deliberately.

The caption read: "Young people these days have no self-control. They're already at it right after having a baby."

My blood boiled, and my heart raced. Last night, it was her son who had begged me, and I reluctantly agreed out of pity. Now his mother was spreading rumors online.

I now realize that feeling sorry for a man only leads to trouble.
