In-laws are supposed to make life easier, right? Well, that wasn’t the case for me. This is the story of how I got my revenge on Linda, my mother-in-law, after she treated my eldest daughter, Tessa, like dirt. I have two daughters: Tessa, who’s 10 and from my first marriage, and Sadie, who’s 4, from my marriage to Grant, my current husband. Tessa is sweet, quiet, and always eager to please. Sadie, on the other hand, is a bundle of energy—always asking questions, never sitting still. Grant loves both girls as if they were his own, but Linda, his mother?…
Husband receives photo from his wife, he can’t believe it
My phone buzzed on a normal Tuesday afternoon, alerting me to a message from my wife Emma. After ten years of marriage, our bond was based on respect, trust, and love. However, this message would rock our marriage to its core.
“Hey, sweetheart! She wrote, “Check this out! I’ve attached a photo.” I was surprised to find Emma with noticeably larger breasts—something we had never talked about—instead of a happy selfie.
I gave her a call right away. “What is this, Emma?” How come you didn’t tell me about this?
She said, “Oh, I thought it would be a nice surprise,” in a casual way. Do you not find it appealing?
“A revelation? This is significant surgery, Emma! How were you unable to talk to me about this? Shaking my voice, I questioned.
“I didn’t believe it to be all that significant. She answered, “I wanted to feel better about myself.
Her remarks hurt. Our trust, which had grown over a decade ago, was broken.
Days later, I came to the conclusion that such a betrayal of trust could not last in a marriage. Emma became combative, adamant that it was her decision and her body.
Although our divorce was painful, it was a sign of a larger problem with misplaced trust.
