I thought my husband was being a loving partner when he booked me into a resort.

Only to discover it was done to allow him to be free to do whatever he wanted. My rollercoaster of a story sees me getting deeply hurt by my husband’s lies and deceit. However, it ultimately ends in divorce.I never thought I’d be in this position at 32, watching my world unravel in the quiet chaos of our bedroom. Let me backtrack a bit. My husband, Jason, 34, and I had been married for four years, weaving dreams and building a life together. One of our life goals was to become parents, and we’ve been trying to have a baby, sadly with no luck. Two weeks ago, he surprised me by saying, “Baby, I’ve booked you into a spa resort for four days!” He explained it was to allow me to have some “stress relief.””What!? Seriously, babe?” I asked as he nodded and I jumped into his arms for a warm and grateful hug. “It might help with your fertility issues to get some downtime.” I was over the moon with excitement and peace for the first few days! I enjoyed all the perks that the resort had to offer. My man hadn’t spared any money to get me the full treatment. But, soon enough I started missing him terribly and thought: “Why not go home early and surprise him for a change?”That decision turned out to be the worst I’ve ever made! My life fell apart that day when I returned home early. The moment I walked into our house, my heart dropped! I was greeted not by his loving embrace but by something I’d never be able to wipe from my memory.I found our living room looking like a mess. Romantic dinner leftovers and women’s clothes everywhere! The unmistakable sounds of betrayal from our bedroom confirmed the worst-case scenario.As I stood frozen, my heart hammered in my chest. Then I heard the muffled laughter and whispers seeping through the door. My first instinct was to burst in and confront them. Instead, I pressed my ear against the door. “Are you sure she won’t be back today?” her voice, airy and unfamiliar, floated through. Jason’s reply was a low chuckle. “She’s out till Friday, we have all the time in the world, baby!”I was absolutely shattered! Yet, there was no way I was going to lose it and give Jason and his mistress the satisfaction of seeing me crumble. Anger surged through me, but I clung to a sliver of calm. No, I needed a plan for real revenge, not a spectacle. So, I quietly tiptoed around and gathered their clothes strewn across the living room. I picked up his familiar shirts tangled with her floral dresses. Her purse caught my eye, bulging with keys, a wallet, and personal documents. I grasped it, my plan taking shape. Leaving the house, I whispered to myself, “Revenge will be mine but on my terms.””Oh, Milly, I am so sorry!” Jenny sympathized with me while hugging me as we had coffee together. “I thought Jason was one of the good guys, especially after booking you into the resort.”I was sad and heartbroken by it all but was determined to keep a level head. “Thanks, Jen, with you by my side, I will be okay.” I also filled her in on the revenge I had taken and my pal was proud of how brave I was. The next day, chaos unfolded exactly as I’d hoped! When I switched my phone on, there were many messages from Jason. Initially, he told me the house was broken into. He finally put two and two together when he tried calling the spa resort and discovered I’d left the day before.His next messages saw him asking to explain while he lashed out in others as if he was the victim in the situation. I had noticed when I took the mistress’ clothes that she was taller and broader than me. I later found out through mutual friends that my smaller-sized clothes were a poor fit and she couldn’t wear them. Desperate, she had called a friend to fetch her spare keys from my house. What she didn’t know was that her husband, suspecting her infidelity, had followed her friend back to my house!The husband saw her leaving in the clothes her friend had brought over. From across the street and behind a tree, he watched her as she kissed Jason goodbye before they hugged. The spouse was clever enough to take pictures and video footage as evidence of her infidelity. His confrontation with her later also reached my ears. “You’ve been lying all along!” he had accused, the pain in his voice palpable. She tried denying it all until he presented her with undeniable proof.The cheating caused their prenuptial agreement to get canceled, which cost her a lot of money! It was very bad according to my sources! And I couldn’t be happier with how karma played out in her life.The divorce between Jason’s mistress and her husband also cost her lots of money.As for Jason, when he finally faced me, his face was a mask of confusion and betrayal. “Where did you go? Why did you take her things?” With a calm I didn’t feel, I replied, “You broke our vows, Jason. You don’t get to ask questions.” His pleading did nothing to sway me. “It was a mistake. Can’t we forget and move on?” “No, we can’t,” I said firmly. “Mistakes aren’t planned spa bookings so you can have alone time with your lover.”I filed for divorce with evidence of his deceit. He’d secretly taken medications to avoid getting me pregnant. It hurt a lot that he made me feel like I was the problem with us failing to get pregnant. But all along the infertility had nothing to do with me. He hadn’t only lied about his cheating, but also about wanting us to have a child. It broke my heart further because it was something he knew I was passionate about. The mistress’ husband also got a hold of me and shared all the footage he had to make my case solid.Now, living in my own apartment, the silence once haunted by betrayal now hums with promise. Jason’s attempts at reconciliation were denied.”Jason, this is the consequence of your choices,” I told him over the phone, a finality in my voice. As for his lover, the fallout of her affair was a spectacle she had to face head-on. In the end, I didn’t only expose their deceit with a confrontation but with strategic silence and moves. My actions unmasked their true selves, allowing me to reclaim my life.Milly is sadly not the only woman who’s had to deal with a cheating spouse. Maya believed her marriage was solid until she made a heartbreaking discovery. The truth left her seeking revenge just like Milly.

As I reflect on the aftermath, I grapple with mixed emotions about my actions.Did I go too far, or was it a necessary measure to uphold my dignity and possibly protect others?
