I was sure my husband constantly goes on business trips for work – I was so darn WRONG!!!
I've been married to Tom for almost 15 years, and together we have five children. Our life wasn't glamorous — just bills, a mortgage, and endless laundry — but we were happy. Tom loved playing with the kids and helped me around the house whenever he could.
His job sometimes required travel, and each time he left, the kids and I counted the days until he came back.
One afternoon, I decided to surprise him with lunch at his office. I piled all five kids into the car, each clutching a drawing for their dad. When we walked in, Tom's face lit up. He scooped up our youngest, kissed me on the cheek, and laughed as the kids proudly handed him their pictures. He even introduced them to colleagues nearby, glowing with pride. For a moment, I thought: "This is what happiness looks like."
After a quick lunch, I gathered the kids and said goodbye. On the way out, I ran into an old friend, Sarah, who also worked there.
We chatted, and when I mentioned how exhausting life was with Tom's constant business trips, her brows knitted.
"BUSINESS TRIPS? WHAT DO YOU MEAN? There haven't been any here for months. Budget cuts."
Her words hit me like a punch. My smile froze, but inside I knew — something wasn't right. Tom had lied, and I needed the truth. I endured it silently, pretending to be the perfect wife, acting as if I suspected nothing, but all the while I was waiting for the right moment.
A week later, he told me he had another trip. That evening, I checked his briefcase and found a ticket to Boston. My heart pounded, but I didn't hesitate. I booked myself a seat on the same flight, arranged a nanny for the kids, and followed him.
When we landed, I rented a car and trailed his taxi. My hands shook on the wheel as I watched it STOP IN FRONT OF A CHARMING LITTLE HOUSE with white windows.
