21. Mr. Worldwide
I suspected my husband was cheating when he abruptly left for a trip, and I saw him get into a woman’s car. Later, a woman claiming to be his fiancée called, revealing he was traveling with another woman. I found a receipt in his briefcase from a high-end store, where staff confirmed he was there with his “Thai wife.” He had children with multiple women while we were married, and I caught him with his mistress several times. Living abroad with no money or credit, I eventually left with our two young children when he bought me a one-way ticket to visit my parents. He continued his deceitful ways, marrying the Singaporean woman while still married to me, and later scamming another woman. It took seven years to divorce him. The most awkward moment was a dinner with his then-fiancée, who was unaware of his past. He even gave me an STD while I was pregnant. These are just some highlights of his betrayals.
22. Accidental Spy
I accidentally caught my ex-husband cheating when I used his computer at work and found Facebook messages with a woman he met through our job. Confronting him when he returned from a walk, I made him take me for a drink and told him there would be no reconciliation. Six months later, I’m relieved to have lost the dead weight. He was emotionally abusive, and despite my efforts to support him and reorganize my life around him, his odd behaviors and a “work call” from a woman during our family vacation raised suspicions. The messages revealed he had been having an affair for two years, including a month-long stay with her in her country.
