A woman’s 13-year marriage was turned upside down when her husband dropped a bombshell: he wanted a separation, but still expected her to move across the country with him. As she navigated this bewildering turn of events, she stumbled upon a secret that would change everything.
The wife, who shared her story anonymously online, recalled how her husband’s sudden dissatisfaction with his job led to a drastic proposal: a cross-country move for a new job opportunity. But what followed was even more shocking – he suggested a separation, launching into a tirade about her shortcomings.
As the wife struggled to make sense of her husband’s behavior, she discovered a disturbing pattern. He had been in constant communication with an old friend, a recently divorced woman who was helping him secure the new job. The extent of their interaction was staggering – over 500 texts a day, totaling 24,000 in just a month.
The wife’s online community rallied around her, offering support and insights into the situation. Many deemed her “NTA” (not the asshole) for her actions and decisions in the face of her husband’s betrayal and plans.
As the situation escalated, the husband’s true intentions became clear. He expected the entire family, including their two young children, his mother, and the wife, to relocate with him. The wife was horrified, reflecting on the sacrifices she had already made for her husband’s career.
The final straw came when the husband admitted to being unhappy in the marriage for 15 years. The wife was left reeling, questioning whether she was at fault for considering divorce and seeking physical custody of their children.
The online community’s response was overwhelming, with many urging the wife to stand her ground and prioritize her own needs. As she navigates this difficult chapter, one thing is clear – she will not be swayed by her husband’s manipulative tactics.
