AIO my wife left me with nothing after confronting her about her cheating, I have ALS
Yes this is a burner account I made for this post. The first text was yesterday, the last two from today but with gaps in time.
Long story short, I was diagnosed with ALS a few months ago, and knew that I wanted to focus as much as I could on treatment, plus saving for my wife and I to travel the world, I guess like a bucket list, also making sure she was as financially secure as possible because eventually this will kill me.. life insurance, savings, the works. I had a lot of money saved for this.
I’m keeping everything condensed
Last week, I found the edges of a condom wrapped jammed between the bed and frame, while changing the sheets.. confronted her and she admitted eventually that yeh she was cheating on me. F*ucking devastating news to receive while I’m f*ucking dying and worked my ass off 60 hours a week to save and provide.
I did everything for her always, everything. Anything she wanted.. and now that I can’t really work anymore and it’s her turn to help, get a job to cover some expenses like bills and OOP medical stuff, the vibe changed immediately. Like basically almost instantly. I feel so f*ucking stupid for ignoring the signs.
The final kicker, is she drained our mutual accounts, took most of my s**t, minus clothes, my car obviously and some furniture, has left me f*ucking destitute, alone, the day before thanksgiving. The bank isn’t being f*ucking helpful, I called the cops and they said… “oh it’s civil. Blah blah blah”
Like dude, I just wanna give up now. I feel like everything is over and there’s no point anymore.
Someone please tell me this is going to be ok. She was my focus. My everything. I sacrificed friendships because of her jealousy. I grew up adopted and since my parents died years ago always been a bit of a loner, I think she saw this and took advantage of me.
