27. Huge Embarrassment
In college, I dated a girl for five months and thought things were going well. One night, she said she had to study, but my buddies later saw her at a frat party with another guy, confirming she was cheating. They devised a plan, filling super soakers with unpleasant fluids and, dressed in black suits and sunglasses, went to the party to “punish” her. They sprayed her and the guy in front of 30-40 people, leaving her crying. The next morning, I felt a mix of sadness, embarrassment, anger, and a bit of pride in my friends. I never spoke to her again and, despite her betrayal, didn’t like what happened to her.
28. A Secret To Hide
Working two jobs nearly 20 hours a day, I noticed my wife becoming distant and glued to her phone. Checking our phone records, I found a suspicious number. When I asked to see her phone, she ran off with it. Using a backup phone and a new SIM card, I discovered she had profiles on multiple dating apps and had been lying about me to friends and family for years. Despite reconciling, I didn’t trust her and installed a keystroke logger, only to find she was cheating again. Though I miss my kids, I’m now financially, emotionally, and physically better, having gotten sober and managing my depression. It turned out to be the best thing that ever happened to me.
