I sold my parents’ lake house and my car to fund my husband Jake’s “dream” farm. But when I accidentally took his phone one morning, I heard a call from a woman named Alex, full of affection. I realized Jake had been cheating on me—and that Alex had also invested in his dream.
Instead of confronting him immediately, Alex and I teamed up. We let Jake believe both of us were still committed and waiting to send money. When they met to celebrate, I was there in disguise. At the perfect moment, I revealed myself, exposing his lies. Jake tried to bluff but was busted.
Neither of us sent any money, and we walked away together—laughing, free from betrayal and broken promises.
