What goes around, comes around. My husband’s affair broke my heart, shattered my trust, and left me drowning in a sea of questions. How long had it been going on? Did he ever truly love me, or had I just been convenient? The pain was unbearable, but what hurt the most was knowing he hadn’t even thought twice about destroying everything we had built.
At first, I grieved. I cried myself to sleep, replaying every moment, searching for signs I had missed. But then, something inside me shifted. I refused to be the broken, helpless wife. If he could betray me without remorse, then I would make sure he knew exactly what that felt like.
I didn’t lash out. I didn’t beg for an explanation. Instead, I did what he had done—I let go of my loyalty. I met someone, a man who saw me, who made me feel like more than just a wife taken for granted. It wasn’t about love; it was about justice.
And when my husband found out, the irony was delicious. His face twisted in anger, his voice sharp with accusations. “How could you do this to me?” he spat.
I met his eyes, calm and unwavering. “Now you know,” I said simply.
For the first time, he felt the pain of betrayal—the gut-wrenching, soul-crushing kind. And in that moment, I knew justice had been served.
