‘I walked in on my wife sleeping with her best friend’

« I dated my wife for four years, then proposed, got married and we lived a wonderful life together, » Tom shared on Reddit.

« We own a beautiful home, have a one-year-old daughter together and both have successful careers. »

When Saira became good friends with another woman in the gym, Tom didn’t think too much of it.

« I’ve been with my wife for seven years and we have a great physical connection and a good s*x life, » he reasoned. « We had our baby. »

But when Tom came home one day, he got the shock of his life when he opened the bedroom door to see Saira and her new best friend naked.

« I didn’t think she would ever cheat on me… » Tom said in disbelief. « They had apparently been having a lesbian affair behind my back for several months. »

Heartbroken, Tom agreed to divorce, especially after Saira chose to stay with the other woman.

« It was soul-crushing, » confided Tom. « But I’m realising that for someone to live a lie for so long and hide a secret relationship… »

In anger, he added: « They are ultimately not a good person; therefore, me getting away from this person will make my life better. »

Tom confessed: « I thought I was in a happy marriage… I’ll find someone who actually respects me and is a good person. »

In response, the Reddit community rallied to support Tom after his marital betrayal.

Change2001 posted: « First realise that you did nothing to deserve this. Your wife made the choice to cheat on you and put your feelings and relationship secondary to her desires.

« First understand it was not a mistake that she made. It was a series of choices she made to cheat. The choice to not shut down any flirting. The choice to not stop inappropriate physical contact, such as hugs, touches, kisses… »

Another Reddit community member said: « I’m sorry this happened to you. Sexuality isn’t an excuse for cheating. It’s just not.

« You’ve got a positive outlook! You will find someone more suited to you and a better person too. »
