Woman Finds Out Husband Is Cheating, Turns Out It’s The Greatest Thing That Could Have Happened

32

ADVERTISEMENT

It doesn’t matter with whom your partner cheats; it hurts nonetheless. However, sometimes it hurts more when they do it with someone you’re close to. Unfortunately, that’s the case for many cheating stories, as research shows that only around 15% of cheaters are unfaithful with strangers or casual acquaintances.

The husband in this story cheated with his wife’s best friend, so she was betrayed by two of the most important people in her life. A few years later, after she recovered and established her small baking business, she heard from the couple again — they wanted to hire her for their child’s birthday. Here she faced a dilemma: should she accept the money and risk drama, or just refuse and keep her peace?

    Hi there, fellow pandas! As a person (over)educated both in social sciences and literature, I'm most interested in how we connect and behave online (and sometimes in real life too.) The human experience is weird, so I try my best to put its peculiarities in writing. As a person who grew up chronically online, I now try to marry two sides of myself: the one who knows too much about MySpace, and the one who can't settle and needs to see every corner of the world.

    I met the love of my life in my 40s and know people who have found their person in their 50s, 60s and even 70s. It is never too late to start over.
