After my marriage crumbled, I thought things couldn’t get messier—until my in-laws broke into my house to “prove” I had cheated. Spoiler: they didn’t find dirt on me—they found their own son’s secret life.
Liam, my now ex, confessed he was bisexual early in our marriage. I was okay with it—until he cheated on me with another man. Thanks to his iPad, I found very revealing proof. Our prenup had a cheating clause: if one cheats, the other gets everything. I had him.
But I let him off the hook—until I learned he told his parents I was the cheater. So, when his folks came to pick up his things, his mom snooped and found a hidden envelope… full of steamy photos of Liam and his lover. She fled my house like a cartoon burglar.
Liam called, furious I “set him up.” Truth is, I didn’t. He forgot he told his mom to check my bedroom for a ring. The irony? He was more upset about being “outed” to his parents than about cheating.
Karma doesn’t miss. And I didn’t have to lift a finger.
Lesson: When people dig for dirt, they often fall into the hole they made. Truth always finds its way out.
