Member-only story
I put up secret cameras to catch my wife cheating on me. The video showed something much worse than what I saw.
It began around her birthday a few months ago. When Katty got home from work, she smelled like Axe body spray. At first, I didn't think much of it. Not my spouse. I love her. We've been true to each other for a long time. But then the questions began to appear.
I now have to work late nights and on the weekends too. Because we are behind on our payment, I have spent less than five or six hours a day at home, and I spent most of that time asleep. But she didn't complain much. In fact, she looked better most of the time after I left.
That night, I tried to kiss her on the neck, but I saw a mark there, like someone else's lips had been there.
The first mistake I made was telling her straight out about it. Of course she said no. She screamed. I was called the bad guy. This is how cheaters usually act. Even worse, she got what she wanted. told me we needed a break and insisted I start sleeping downstairs. There might even be a split.
I only came out of it feeling hopeless and sad. Even though she said she was still true to me, there were plenty of signs that she wasn't. I just didn't have enough information to back it up.
As I went to drink away my stress one night, my friend Matt told me, "You need a security system for your home."
