When I discovered my husband’s affair, I was shattered. The man I had loved and trusted for years had betrayed me with someone half my age. At first, I drowned in heartbreak, questioning everything—was I not enough? Had I become invisible to him? The pain was unbearable, but as days passed, my sorrow turned into something else. Anger.
I decided I wouldn’t be the only one suffering. If he could betray our vows so easily, why should I stay loyal to a man who no longer respected me? Revenge wasn’t something I had ever considered before, but this time, it felt like justice.
I met someone—charming, exciting, and nothing like my husband. It started as a distraction, a way to numb the pain, but soon, I found myself enjoying the attention, the passion, the thrill of being desired again. For the first time in years, I felt alive. My husband had no idea. And when I finally told him, his face turned pale. The shock, the betrayal in his eyes—it was priceless.
“You cheated on me?” he stammered.
I smiled. “Now you know how it feels.”
Was it right? Maybe not. But for once, I was no longer the victim. And that, in itself, was enough.
