My husband prioritized his affair over our family, and now, three years later, karma has come knocking

I can still recall the day everything came crashing down so clearly that even after all these years, it feels like I’m looking at a collection of snapshots from that moment.
Fourteen years of marriage—fourteen years spent creating a life together, raising kids, celebrating holidays, handling home repairs, and supporting one another through tough times—disappeared in a heartbeat. It all unfolded in an instant, yet with such clarity, it felt like witnessing the destruction of a fragile tapestry being pulled from the wall, the threads fraying and breaking, leaving behind a rough silhouette of something once exquisite.

The sun was beginning to set, and I found myself in the kitchen, getting dinner ready. The delightful scent of sautéed onions and rosemary wafted through the home. The kids were occupied in their rooms—one focused on homework while the other played quietly. The radio hummed gently in the background, filling the room with classical melodies that I had come to love in my new role as a stay-at-home mom, a stark contrast to my years spent in the corporate hustle. It was just another typical day, or at least that’s what I believed.

Suddenly, I heard the distinct sound of heels clicking on the hardwood floor in our hallway. It felt completely out of place. I stopped for a moment, feeling uncertain about what to make of it. We didn’t have any visitors planned, and Stan, my husband, rarely brought anyone home without giving me a heads-up. And there they were: footsteps that were sharp and filled with confidence. My heart raced a bit, and I switched off the burner, wiping my hands on my apron as I made my way out of the kitchen.
