My husband, Wade, was treating me horribly while preparing for a visit from his boss, Jerry, and his wife, Alexandra. I had already been considering divorce due to his emotional abuse, and the situation with their visit only heightened my suspicions. As I cleaned and cooked for the evening, I noticed Wade’s strange behavior, and after greeting our guests, I became more suspicious when Alexandra asked for a tour of the house.

While they were upstairs, I overheard them talking about their affair and how Alexandra was helping Wade get a promotion. I needed more proof, so I secretly took Wade’s phone and found dozens of messages confirming their affair. I sent screenshots to my phone for evidence.

During dinner, I discreetly wrote “My husband’s mistress” on a card and placed it on Alexandra’s forehead during a game. When she asked if she knew the person, I pointed out that she was sitting right in front of me. Wade tried to deny it, but I showed Jerry the messages, revealing their affair. Jerry fired Wade, and I informed Alexandra that she wouldn’t get a penny from her prenup due to the infidelity clause.

I took off my ring, packed my bags, and left Wade for good, finally free from the emotional abuse and betrayal.
