My Husband Argued with Me and Said He Would Live In the Garage – I Filed for Divorce After Entering There Unannounced One Day
Jake and the narrator had a loving marriage that gradually fell apart over four years. For months, Jake grew distant, spending more time in the garage and avoiding connection. The narrator noticed suspicious signs—secretive phone calls, strange receipts, and changed passwords. When confronted, Jake denied anything was wrong and moved into the garage for “space.”
One night, the narrator entered the garage unexpectedly and found Jake with another woman, Dana, revealing his affair. Furious and heartbroken, she declared she was filing for divorce and demanded he leave. Jake claimed ownership of the house, which was his grandfather’s, and tried to intimidate her.
She contacted Jake’s grandfather, James, who sided with her, declaring Jake unworthy. James transferred the house deed to her name, legally giving her control. When Jake returned angrily, she showed him the deed and ordered him and his mistress out. Jake left, and the narrator found strength and freedom in reclaiming her home and her life, ready for new beginnings with support from her friend Sarah.
