I Sold Everything to Support My Husband’s Dream, Only to Find Out He Spent It on Another Woman — Story of the Day

I sold my parents’ lake house and my car to fund my husband Jake’s dream farm, trusting his vision for our future. That morning, as I prepared to deposit the money, Jake reassured me of his love and our shared dream. But at the bus stop, a call from “Alex” on Jake’s phone, which we’d accidentally swapped, revealed a woman waiting for him “all night.” Shocked, I didn’t go to the bank. Instead, I returned home, replaced his phone, and

followed him to a house where he embraced a blonde woman, Alex. Confronting her, I learned Jake had promised to marry her, claiming he needed her money for a divorce. We devised a plan: I told Jake I’d wired the money, while Alex lured him to a restaurant. There, disguised, I overheard him lie about leaving me. We exposed him, revealing neither of us gave him money. Leaving him humiliated, Alex and I walked away, reclaiming our power and laughing over pizza.
