What would you do if some random woman started flooding your husband's socials with messages?
Naturally, she's ugly, mousy, and disgusting by default.
And naturally, you found out completely by accident — holding a glass of water while wiping dust off his laptop with a damp cloth...
I should have hurled that glass right into the screen.
Maybe it would've flooded the keyboard so he couldn't reply.
Problem is, I'm not that person.
I'm a weakling whose stress response isn't “fight”; it's “freeze.”
So I froze, completely paralyzed, staring like an idiot at the screen full of hearts and emojis.
Once I snapped out of it, I grabbed my phone, ready to tell my mother-in-law everything before the floodgates burst and I spent hours sobbing.
Instead, I accidentally called my friend Ana.
Or maybe not so accidentally..............
So today I’m going to narrate a story about one of my sisters and me. We used to be best friends, but things changed when we started living together in the hostel.
Hostel life was so irritating that even the smallest things made us agitated. Arguments became our daily routine. I would insist I was right, and she would challenge me to prove it.
Mind you, I spent hours trying to remember who washed the plates last, because I was always given this assignment of “prove it.” Ugh, that sucked and made me even more furious. She has the memory of a goldfish no offence to her.
Days went by, and the fights grew more frequent. It became an everyday matter. I was sick of it, and so was she. But since we share the same stubborn genes, neither of us would back down.
One day, after a particularly bad fight, I called my mother and told her I wanted to come home. I didn’t mention the fight, but those days felt unbearably heavy. I was already struggling with studies and hostel life, and mentally I wasn’t stable.
The next day, I was destined to go home alone for the first time. Nervous yet happy, I packed my bag. Still, I didn’t want her to be left alone, so I asked quietly, without looking at her, “Do you want to come home too?”
She said no.
We had one class to attend before I left. After class we sat together on the metro bus. My station was supposed to come first. My heart felt heavy, aching. I kept thinking, How can I leave her all alone?
She looked at me and said, “Turn on your airdrop.”
I did, and she sent me a picture of my ID card (we needed it for booking seats).
I told her I already knew my ID number and then asked her again, “Do you want to come?”
She said no.
Soon, my station came. The doors opened, people were leaving and joining. I stayed seated.
She looked at me and said, “Go, why aren’t you going? Doors will close soon. Go before it’s too late.”
But I sat there with tears in my eyes.
I had already decided the night before, if she wasn’t going to join me then I won’t go.
She looked at me again, saw my tears, and said softly, “Go, please.”
I said nothing.
People were staring at us.
She grabbed my hand and whispered, “Let’s go together.”
Oh, the relief I felt after hearing TOGETHER.
The doors were closing as she pulled me out.
Just then, a girl called out, “Hey, you left your token!”
I quickly grabbed it, and the doors shut behind us.
She was still holding my hand as we walked out of the bus station.
Tears streamed down my face.
We were finally going home, oh together.
That day we dedicated a song to each other: “If you miss the train I’m on, you’ll know that I’ll never be gone.”
Since then, 500 Miles has been our song.
We’re still stubborn, we still fight, but we still love each other.
(The final part)
One more week of playing the loving wife.
One more week of pretending everything was normal while secretly orchestrating the destruction of everything Alexander thought he’d built.
“There’s one more thing,” Dr. Harper said gently. “After this happens, you’re going to need support. Revenge can be satisfying in the moment, but it doesn’t heal the underlying pain of betrayal. I’d like to recommend a therapist who specializes in helping people rebuild their lives after traumatic divorces.”
Sarah considered this.
She’d been so focused on destroying Alexander and Rebecca that she hadn’t thought much about what would come after. What would her life look like when this was all over?
“That’s probably a good idea,” she admitted.
“Good,” Dr. Harper said. “And Sarah, your father would be proud of you—not just for standing up for yourself, but for doing it intelligently and legally. A lot of people in your situation make emotional decisions that end up hurting them more than their cheaters.”
As Sarah left the law office, she felt like she was commanding an army instead of just planning a divorce.
In one week, Alexander and Rebecca’s world would explode, and they would finally understand what it felt like to be completely powerless.
But first, she had to survive six more days of living with a man who thought he was outsmarting her while she planned his downfall.
The hardest part wouldn’t be executing the plan.
It would be keeping the smile off her face when Alexander told her about his fake overtime tomorrow night.
Sarah’s phone rang at seven in the morning, jolting her awake. Alexander was already in the shower, getting ready for another day of lies and deception.
The caller ID showed Tom Mitchell’s number.
“Sarah, we have a problem,” Tom said. His voice was tense. “I’ve been watching Rebecca’s apartment all night. Alexander never left.”
Sarah sat up straighter, suddenly wide awake.
“What do you mean?”
“He went to her place yesterday evening around six—just like he has every Tuesday for the past three months. But instead of leaving after a few hours like usual, he stayed all night. His car is still in her parking lot.”
Sarah’s mind raced.
Alexander had told her he was working late on a big client presentation. He was supposed to be at the office, not spending the night with Rebecca.
“Are you sure it’s his car?”
“Positive. Silver BMW. License plate matches your registration. And Sarah—there’s something else. Rebecca’s husband left for work an hour ago. Alexander is still inside.”
The implications hit Sarah like a physical blow.
Alexander wasn’t just having an affair. He was getting careless about it. Staying overnight meant this relationship was escalating beyond casual cheating. They were acting like a real couple now, taking risks they wouldn’t have taken before.
“Has this happened before?” Sarah asked.
“Not that I’ve documented, but I haven’t been watching him overnight until now. This could be a new development, or it could be something I missed.”
Sarah heard the shower turn off in the master bathroom.
Alexander would be out in five minutes, probably ready to lie to her face about where he’d spent the night.
“Keep watching,” she told Tom. “I want to know every move they make.”
“Sarah,” Tom said, “there’s something else. I ran a deeper background check on Alexander like you asked. You’re not going to like what I found.”
Sarah’s stomach dropped.
“Tell me he’s done this before.”
“Before he met you, Alexander was married to a woman named Jennifer Walsh in Seattle. Marriage lasted two years. She filed for divorce, citing adultery, and she got almost nothing in the settlement because she couldn’t prove the affair.”
The room started spinning.
Alexander had been married before.
He’d never mentioned a previous marriage—not once in three years together.
“Are you sure?”
My wife and I have been married for 15 years. From the outside, we have what looks like a perfect marriage.
But years ago, something happened that I never truly got over.
Now, approaching 40, I'm wondering if I should finally let it go or tear everything down.
My wife and I are in our late 30s and have been married for 15 years. We have one child who is 11 years old. Our marriage is very solid we are each other's best friend, rarely have disagreements, have a good sex life, etc.
We've achieved a lot of our career and life goals thus far
getting our degrees, decent jobs in our fields, paying off almost all of our debt, and raising our child to be a decent human being....
My girlfriend of two years denied being with another man… until my friend showed me a video.
I’ve been with my girlfriend for two years, and I honestly trusted her. I never imagined I’d find myself in a situation like this.
A friend of mine called me one day and said he had seen my girlfriend entering a motel with another man.
I didn’t know what to believe.
I confronted her about it, but she denied everything.
At first, I wanted to believe her. I didn’t want to believe my friend over someone I had spent two years building a relationship with.
Then my friend sent me a video.
It showed my girlfriend entering the motel with the other man.
I showed her the video.
She went completely silent.
There was nothing left to deny.
What hurts me the most isn’t even that she was there.
It’s that when I gave her the opportunity to tell me the truth, she looked me in the eyes and denied everything.
Now I’m questioning the entire relationship.
How long has this been happening?
What else don’t I know?
I haven’t decided what I’m going to do yet.
If you were in my shoes, would you try to rebuild the relationship or walk away?
