A few weeks ago I decided I wanted to surprise my wife with a kid-free night out. My parents live about an hour and a half away from us and I arranged for the kids to stay with them for the weekend.
Usually, when I go to my parents I anm gone until
later in the evening. We spend all day there and
leave around dinner time. This time, I was
dropping the kids off and immediately going
home so I could surprise my wife and we could
go out as soon as possible. I had made
reservations at a nice restaurant and was hoping
to go to a few places for some drinks first. Tleft at 8:30 and was back in our housing plan
before 12:30. As I pulled onto my street I sawa
truck parked in front of my house. I did not
recognize it. I assumed it was someone seeing
the neighbors though because it's not that
unusual for someone to park in front of our
house.
I parkeda few houses away thinkingI would
sneak into the house and surprise my wife
instead of pulling in the driveway and going in the
garage.
I went in through a basement door. I was as
quiet as possible but as soon as I walked in I
heard her making sounds from the floor above.
When I first heard it I thought she was just by
herself, maybe having some personal time. I
didn't want to interrupt her privacy and
embarrass her so I was going to go back to my
car and just go in the garage so she would know
I was home. Then I heard a man's voice. I
immediately felt sick. My heart felt like it was
going to explode out of my chest.I could see my wife with a man I didn't recognize.
I won't go into detail on what they were doing but
I think you can figure it out. I started recording it,
I was thinking that I needed a record of it for
whatever I decided to do in the future. l just
stood there in my kitchen, watching this all
unfold on my phone screen. I felt like l could just
scream at any moment but for some reason ljust
froze completely. This went on for several
minutes.She finally jumped off of him and made a
comment about going to the bedroom and they
went upstairs. She even made a comment about
how much time they had left.
I walked into the living room and found the guy's
pants. I took his wallet out and took pictures of
his driver's license. I know his name and his
addresS now. I've never met him. I have no idea
how my wife knows him.I left the house the same way I entered. I went
back to my car and cried like the pathetic man I
am. I decided tO watch the video to make sure it
recorded. I watched it all.
I sat in my car for at least half an hour. I couldn't
drive to my parents and get the kids as I would
have to explain why. I decided that I would pull in
the driveway, open the garage, and just pretend
like I was there to surprise her. I took my time
getting into the house. I made a lot of noise.
When I saw her she was very flustered asking me
why I was home, etc. She was ina robe and said
she was just getting ready for a bath.
I told her about my plans and she seemed
excited. She poured us both a glass of wine and
said we should pregame before getting ready. I
don't think I talked much really. She took me into
the living room. I'm not proud of what I let
happen. I could faintly see the guy sneaking
downstairs and going to the basement stairs but |
didn't say or do anything, I just let my wife
continue doing what she was doing to me.
Since that day, I have watched the video of her
repeatedly. I can't bring myself to make any
decisions on what I should do next. She seems
to know something is wrong with me because
she's asked a few times if I'm ok.
I feel worthless and every time I hit a low point I
watch that video again. I feel like I've watched it
at least 10 times a day since l caught them.
What should I do
