Eu pensei que meu marido era um parceiro amoroso quando ele reservou um lugar para mim em um resort. Apenas para descobrir que ele fez isso para permitir que ele fosse livre para fazer o que quisesse. A montanha-russa da minha história me machucou profundamente por causa das mentiras e da traição do meu marido. No entanto, no final das contas, termina em divórcio.

Nunca pensei que estaria nessa situação aos 32, vendo meu mundo desmoronar no caos silencioso do nosso quarto. Deixe-me voltar um pouco. Meu marido, Jason, 34, e eu estávamos casados há quatro anos, tecendo sonhos e construindo uma vida juntos.
Um dos nossos objetivos na vida era nos tornarmos pais, e estávamos tentando ter um bebê, infelizmente sem sorte. Duas semanas atrás, ela me surpreendeu dizendo: “Querida, reservei quatro dias para você em um spa!”
Ele me explicou que era para que eu pudesse “aliviar o estresse”.

“O quê? Sério, baby?”, perguntei enquanto assentia e me jogava em seus braços para um abraço caloroso e grato. “Pode ajudar com seus problemas de fertilidade ter um tempo de folga.”
Nos primeiros dias, fiquei emocionada e em paz! Aproveitei todos os benefícios que o resort tinha a oferecer. Meu homem não poupou despesas para me dar o tratamento completo. Mas, muito em breve, comecei a sentir muita falta dele e pensei:
“Por que não voltar para casa mais cedo e surpreendê-lo para variar?”

Aquela decisão acabou sendo a pior que já tomei! Minha vida desmoronou naquele dia quando cheguei em casa mais cedo. Assim que entrei em casa, meu coração pulou uma batida! Fui recebido não por seu abraço amoroso, mas por algo que nunca serei capaz de apagar da minha memória.
Encontrei nossa sala de estar em ruínas. Restos de jantares românticos e roupas femininas por todo lugar! Os sons inconfundíveis de traição vindos do nosso quarto confirmaram o pior cenário possível.

Enquanto eu estava congelado, meu coração martelava no peito. Então ouvi risadas abafadas e sussurros filtrando pela porta. Meu primeiro instinto foi entrar e confrontá-los. Em vez disso, pressionei meu ouvido contra a porta.
“Tem certeza de que ele não vai voltar hoje?”, sua voz flutuou, arejada e desconhecida.
Jason respondeu com uma risada. “Ele está fora até sexta-feira, temos todo o tempo do mundo, querida!”

Fiquei arrasada. Mas não havia como eu perder a paciência e dar a Jason e seu amante a satisfação de me ver desmoronar. A raiva surgiu em mim, mas eu me segurei em um resquício de calma.
Não, eu precisava de um plano de vingança real, não de um show. Então, silenciosamente, fiquei na ponta dos pés e peguei suas roupas espalhadas pela sala de estar. Juntei suas camisas familiares emaranhadas com seus vestidos florais.
Sua bolsa chamou minha atenção, cheia de chaves, uma carteira e documentos pessoais. Eu a peguei e meu plano começou a tomar forma.
Ao sair de casa, sussurrei para mim mesmo: “A vingança será minha, mas nos meus termos”.

Joguei as roupas dela em uma caçamba do outro lado da cidade. Examinei a bolsa dela mais de perto em um café, um sorriso irônico cruzou meu rosto quando vi sua identidade. “Você não vai precisar delas tão cedo.” Então desliguei o telefone e liguei para uma amiga. Pedi para passar a noite com ela, prometendo explicar tudo quando chegasse lá.
“Oh, Milly, sinto muito!” Jenny simpatizou comigo enquanto me abraçava enquanto tomávamos café. “Eu achava que Jason era um dos caras legais, principalmente depois que ele te inscreveu no resort.”

Tudo isso me deixou triste e com o coração partido, mas eu estava determinada a manter a cabeça fria. “Obrigada, Jen, com você ao meu lado eu vou ficar bem.” Eu também contei a ela sobre a vingança que eu tinha tomado contra mim, e minha parceira estava orgulhosa de quão corajosa eu era.
No dia seguinte, o caos se desenrolou exatamente como eu esperava! Quando liguei meu telefone, havia muitas mensagens de Jason. Primeiro, ele me disse que a casa havia sido arrombada.
Ela finalmente juntou as peças quando tentou ligar para o resort e descobriu que eu tinha ido embora no dia anterior.

Em suas próximas mensagens ele me pedia explicações enquanto atacava os outros como se ele fosse a vítima da situação. Quando tirei as roupas da amante, percebi que ela era mais alta e larga do que eu.
Mais tarde, descobri por amigos em comum que minhas roupas de tamanho menor não serviam bem e ela não podia usá-las. Desesperada, ela ligou para uma amiga para trazer suas chaves reservas para sua casa. O que ela não sabia era que seu marido, suspeitando de infidelidade, tinha seguido sua amiga até minha casa.

O marido a viu sair usando as roupas que a amiga havia trazido para ela. Do outro lado da rua e atrás de uma árvore, ele a viu dar um beijo de despedida em Jason antes de se abraçarem. O cônjuge foi inteligente o suficiente para tirar fotos e gravar um vídeo como prova de sua infidelidade.
O confronto dele com ela mais tarde chegou aos meus ouvidos também. “Você estava mentindo o tempo todo!”, ele a acusou, a dor palpável em sua voz. Ela tentou negar tudo até que ele lhe apresentou evidências inegáveis.

A traição fez com que seu acordo pré-nupcial fosse anulado, o que lhe custou muito dinheiro! De acordo com minhas fontes, foi bem sério! E ela não poderia estar mais feliz com a forma como o carma se desenrolou em sua vida.
O divórcio entre a amante de Jason e seu marido também lhe custou muito dinheiro.

Quanto a Jason, quando ele finalmente me confrontou, seu rosto era uma máscara de confusão e traição. “Onde você foi? Por que você pegou as coisas dele?”
Com uma calma que não sentia, respondi: “Você quebrou nossos votos, Jason. Você não tem permissão para fazer perguntas.”
Seus apelos não fizeram nada para me convencer. “Foi um erro. Não podemos simplesmente esquecer e seguir em frente?”
“Não, não podemos,” eu disse firmemente. “Erros não são planejados para que você possa ficar sozinho com seu amante.”

Pedi o divórcio com evidências de sua traição. Ele tinha tomado remédios secretamente para me impedir de engravidar. Doeu-me profundamente que ele me fizesse sentir como se eu fosse o problema de não engravidarmos. Mas o tempo todo, a infertilidade não tinha nada a ver comigo.
Ele não só mentiu sobre sua traição, mas também mentiu sobre querer que tivéssemos um filho. Isso partiu meu coração ainda mais porque era algo que ele sabia que eu era apaixonada.
O marido da amante também entrou em contato comigo e compartilhou todas as imagens que tinha para fortalecer meu caso.

Agora morando no meu próprio apartamento, o silêncio antes assombrado pela traição agora zumbe com promessas. As tentativas de reconciliação de Jason foram negadas.
“Jason, essa é a consequência das suas decisões”, eu disse a ele pelo telefone, com um tom de finalidade na voz.
Quanto ao amante dela, as consequências do caso dele foram um espetáculo que ele teve que encarar de frente. No final, eu desmascarei seu engano não apenas com um confronto, mas com silêncios e movimentos estratégicos. Minhas ações desmascararam seu verdadeiro eu, permitindo-me recuperar minha vida.

Infelizmente, Milly não é a única mulher que teve que lidar com um cônjuge infiel. Maya acreditava que seu casamento era sólido até que fez uma descoberta de partir o coração. A verdade a deixou buscando vingança, assim como Milly.
Meu marido me traiu, então eu fiz ele e sua amante sofrerem com minha vingança
Sou Maya, uma mulher de 54 anos que pensava estar feliz no casamento até que uma descoberta chocante mudou tudo. Um dia, peguei o que pensei ser meu telefone e li uma mensagem de uma jovem chamada Stella para meu marido Steven, insinuando um caso.

De coração partido e traída, decidi não confrontar Steven imediatamente, mas reunir evidências. Por meio de um processo doloroso e calculado, reuni provas inegáveis de seu romance no local de trabalho e trocas inapropriadas.
Armado com essa evidência, agi decisivamente e apresentei ao departamento de RH de Steven, resultando na demissão dele e de Stella. Quando reflito sobre as consequências, tenho sentimentos mistos sobre minhas ações.

Eu fui longe demais ou foi uma medida necessária para manter minha dignidade e possivelmente proteger os outros? Compartilhei minha história, buscando perspectivas sobre se minha resposta foi justificada ou se ela me transformou em alguém que eu nunca pretendi ser.

Grandmother Sets Marriage Deadline for Granddaughter by Her 70th Birthday or She’s Excluded from Will — Story of the Day
Sophie was enjoying a delightful evening with family when her grandmother, Evelyn, decided to drop a bombshell. Evelyn’s announcement went beyond the ordinary. To get her inheritance, Sophie needed to get married within a month—in time for Evelyn’s upcoming birthday!
The living room was noisy as the whole family gathered at Evelyn’s large, old-fashioned house. With her pink clothes, she was always a vibrant character. For years, her energy was unmatched.
“Everyone, I need your attention!” Evelyn’s voice rang out, commanding silence. Her eyes sparkled as she surveyed her gathered relatives. The chatter ceased, and all eyes turned to her.

“Sophie,” Evelyn began, her gaze fixed on her granddaughter, who sat uncomfortably under her family’s eyes.
“You have dedicated your life to your career, which is commendable. But you’ve paid a price by neglecting our cherished family values.”
Sophie shifted in her seat, her expression one of slight annoyance. She knew this conversation was coming. Her grandmother’s values were from a different time, after all.
Evelyn continued, “I stand before you as the last guardian of our family’s traditions, and it pains me to see them so easily cast aside.” Her words hung heavily in the air: “That is why I have decided, unless Sophie can find a husband by the time I turn 70 next month, she will not be included in my will.”

Sophie’s face turned pale, eyes wide in shock as the room fell eerily silent.
“Grandma, you can’t be serious,” she murmured, her voice barely above a whisper, but Evelyn’s face remained resolute.
“I am utterly serious, Sophie,” Evelyn responded sternly. “I cannot pass on my legacy to someone who shows no interest in continuing our family line.”
Her voice was firm, leaving no room for negotiation.

Sophie’s frustration boiled over as she stood up abruptly, her chair scraping loudly against the floor.
“I’ve spent years building my career, investing time and energy to become who I am today,” she protested, her voice rising with each word. “And now, just because I haven’t married, you want to cut me off from the inheritance? That’s not fair!”
Evelyn looked up at her granddaughter, her expression unyielding.
“Life is about choices, Sophie. You chose your path, and now I am choosing mine.”

Stung by the harsh reality of her grandmother’s words, Sophie felt a surge of emotion. She stormed out of the room, slamming the door behind her with a loud bang that echoed through the quiet house. She sat in her car, crying out in the night silence.
***
Sophie approached her grandmother’s challenge like another task at work, thus tackling it with due diligence.
She threw herself into the dating world, setting up profiles on several online dating sites, attending speed dating events, and even letting her friends set her up on blind dates. However, her experiences ranged from bizarre to downright disastrous.
One evening, she met Jason, who seemed charming at first. As they sat in a cozy restaurant, Jason leaned in.
“Do you know that the moon landing was staged?” he whispered conspiratorially. Sophie choked on her drink, her eyebrows raised in disbelief. The date went downhill as Jason delved deeper into his conspiracy theories.

Then she met Peter, who talked at length about his collection of exotic reptiles.
“And here’s a photo of my pets, Monty and Tweedy!” he exclaimed, showing Sophie pictures of his cat and dog on his shelf. Sophie smiled politely, her interest waning by the second.
Each date left Sophie more disillusioned. During a date at a quaint coffee shop, she slipped into managerial mode, discussing revenue streams and market dynamics, completely missing her date’s glazed-over expression.
These failed attempts and each awkward goodbye underscored her growing despair. She was utterly unprepared for this unpredictable world of dating.

Back at the office, Sophie was scrolling through her phone, her latest date yet another letdown. She sighed and turned to Steven, her reliable assistant, who was busy organizing files.
“Steven, can we talk?” Sophie’s tone was serious.
“Sure, what’s up?” Steven asked, attentive.
Sophie hesitated, then blurted out, “I need a huge favor. I want you to pretend to be my boyfriend for a week.”

She rushed on, “I’ll pay you, of course.”
Steven blinked, taken aback. “Pretend to be your boyfriend? Sophie, are you sure about this?”
“It’s just a week to get my grandmother off my back,” Sophie explained hastily. “We can call it off right after her birthday party.”
Seeing her distress, Steven agreed, albeit reluctantly. “Okay, I’ll do it. But let’s make it believable, at least.”

They started spending more time together, exchanging basic information like favorite foods and hobbies.
Sophie, ever the perfectionist, turned their casual chats into intense interrogations about Steven’s background, his views on marriage, and even his credit score.
Realizing they needed a different approach, Steven suggested, “How about we spend this weekend at my cousin’s lake house? Just relax, be ourselves. It might help us be more convincing.”
Sophie agreed to Steven’s suggestion.

“Okay, Steven, how hard can this be?” Sophie asked with a laugh, tying an apron around her waist as they stood in the small, rustic kitchen of the lake house. They were both attempting to cook dinner, an activity neither was exceptionally skilled at.
“According to my cousin, just throw everything in the pot and hope for the best,” Steven replied, chopping vegetables.

The pot simmered on the stove while they tried their luck fishing by the lake. Standing side by side with fishing rods, they quickly realized they needed more talent for it. After several failed attempts, Sophie burst out laughing. “Why are we so bad at this?”
“It’s about spending time together, isn’t it?” Steven smiled in answer.
As night fell, they sat by a small fire pit, wrapped in warm blankets and sharing stories of their childhoods.
“You know, I used to think being strong meant doing everything alone,” Sophie confessed, her voice soft against the crackling of the fire. “But this… this is nice. Sharing moments, I mean.”
Steven nodded, passing her a marshmallow to roast.

“Yeah, life’s better with good company. Even if it’s just roasting marshmallows and failing at fishing.”
By the end of the weekend, as they packed up to leave, Sophie realized she enjoyed Steven’s company far beyond the confines of their initial agreement.
“It’s strange,” Sophie mused as they drove back, “how a weekend can change so much.”
The atmosphere on their way home was warm and relaxed. Steven finally felt comfortable in the friendly setting and opened up about his dreams.

“You know, I’ve been thinking a lot lately,” he started, navigating the winding road. “This weekend helped me realize how much I want to pursue my dreams. I’ve always wanted to start my own business. Maybe a bakery or a café.”
Despite the warmth of their shared weekend, her initial self-interest shadowed her reaction. She remained silent, keeping her concerns to herself, not wanting to discourage him, and dreading the potential disruption to her plans.

Sophie and Steven arrived at Evelyn’s elegant home, where Evelyn had organized a formal dinner to meet Steven, whom she had heard much about. The house was aglow with soft lights, and a gentle aroma of roasted meats and seasoned vegetables filled the air.
As they walked in, Evelyn greeted them with a beaming smile.
“Steven, I’m so pleased to meet you at last,” she exclaimed, offering a hand that Steven shook warmly.
“Thank you, Mrs. Johnson. It’s an honor to be here,” Steven responded, his voice carrying genuine respect.
Steven was the epitome of charm and grace during the dinner, effortlessly engaging with other guests and sharing amusing anecdotes that brought smiles.

Sophie, however, seemed distant. Despite the cozy atmosphere, her interactions with Steven were cold and formal, contrasting with the warmth they had shared over their weekend getaway.
After dinner, Evelyn noticed their tension as they retreated to the living room for dessert. She decided to find out what was going on.
“Sophie tells me you two had a wonderful weekend at the lake house, Steven. It must have been quite the getaway.” Her eyes twinkled with curiosity.
Steven glanced at Sophie, a hint of warmth in his expression.

“Yes, it was amazing. We got to know each other beyond work.”
Sophie’s response was curt, almost dismissive. “It was a nice break,” she said, avoiding Steven’s eyes.
Sophie’s behavior puzzled Evelyn when Steven’s earnestness spoke volumes. As he excused himself to fetch some appetizers, Evelyn paused to talk privately with Sophie.
“Sophie, dear, what’s going on? I can see Steven cares deeply. Don’t play with his feelings,” Evelyn whispered, her voice stern yet concerned.

Sophie masked her surprise with a feigned smile.
“Grandma, everything is fine. Steven and I are pleased. He’s even thinking about proposing soon,” she lied, hoping to appease her grandmother.
Evelyn, however, was only partially convinced. She nodded slowly, her doubts quietly mounting.
At that very moment, Steven reappeared, holding a plate of snacks. His timing was such that he likely overheard the conversation. His demeanor changed for the rest of the evening; he became quieter and more reserved.
When it was time to say goodbye, he nodded to Sophie and left without a word, his silence heavy with unspoken thoughts.

The following day, the office felt colder and emptier. Sophie soon discovered why: Steven had resigned. He came to collect his belongings.
“I thought we were getting closer, Steven. What happened?” Sophie asked in confusion.
Steven sighed, his frustration evident.
“After the weekend, I thought we had something real. But you shut down and returned to treating me just as an assistant.”

Sophie looked away, unable to meet his gaze.
“I’m sorry, Steven. I just… I got scared.”
Steven shook his head, his decision firm.
“I need more than this, Sophie. And I can’t accept your money for the charade.”
He picked up his box, his shoulders set as he walked away, leaving Sophie alone with her regrets.

Sophie spent the morning before Evelyn’s birthday party lost in thought, meticulously choosing her outfit, each piece selected to reflect a blend of respect and celebration.
As she dressed, her mind was awash with memories of Steven—their weekend at the lake, the arguments, the confessions, and finally, his resignation. The intensity of her feelings surprised her; she hadn’t realized just how deeply she had fallen for him until he was gone.

When Sophie arrived at the party, her heart skipped a beat when she spotted Steven mingling among the guests. Ever the astute matriarch, Evelyn, had extended the invitation to Steven, a gesture that spoke volumes of her fondness for him.
Sophie’s nervousness was palpable as she approached him, her palms sweaty, her heart pounding.
“Steven,” she began, shaky but sincere, “I owe you a huge apology.” She took a deep breath, gathering her courage.
“The truth is, I missed you terribly. But it’s more than that. Our pretending… it turned into something real for me. I feel for you, genuinely and deeply. I’m so sorry for all the deception—it started about my grandmother’s will, but it became about so much more.”

Steven’s expression, initially guarded, softened as he listened to her words.
“Sophie,” he replied gently, “I forgive you. I was part of the charade, too, remember? I agreed because… well because I’ve had feelings for you for quite a while. I thought this might allow us to explore if something could be real between us.”
Evelyn had been quietly observing their moment of reconciliation until she chose to join them, her approach soft yet deliberate. She took a seat opposite Sophie, her eyes glinting with wisdom and a bit of mischief.
“Sophie, you’ve finally not disappointed me,” Evelyn said, a warm smile spreading across her face. “You’ve come to realize what truly matters. That’s why I’ll leave the inheritance to you and whatever family you build.”
For illustration purposes only | Source: Pexels
Her voice grew tender, “I never intended to follow through if you married just to meet the will’s conditions. I know you well enough, my dear. It wouldn’t have been right. All this was a test, a push to get you to look beyond your career achievements.”
Before the conversation could dip into awkward silence, Steven, ever the peacemaker, made a light-hearted announcement.
“And speaking of new beginnings, I’ve opened my own bakery.” His face lit up with pride.
“I’ve also baked a special birthday cake for tonight. It would mean a lot to me if everyone could come by the bakery sometime to enjoy some coffee and cake.”

The evening unfolded with a celebratory air, the earlier tensions dissolving into laughter and shared stories. Friends and family gathered around, their conversations filled with admiration for Steven’s culinary skills and warm wishes for Evelyn’s continued health and happiness.
Evelyn watched the young couple, her heart full, knowing her unconventional method had ultimately led her granddaughter to reassess her priorities and embrace a future where personal connections held more weight than professional achievements.
