39. A Barrel of Misfortune
While away on Navy training, my wife struggled with anxiety and depression, leading to a suicide attempt that prompted me to go UA. Upon returning, she acted insecure, so her parents sent us to Vegas to rekindle our relationship. We got matching tattoos, but upon returning, my parents revealed she was having an affair. She admitted to meeting a guy on Craigslist and having intercourse in his car. My brother’s coworker exposed the affair to save her job, leading my brother to inform my parents, who then told me. I left my dream job, got a tattoo of a cheater’s initials, and my grandfather died on my birthday. Despite the misery, I managed to get the tattoo removed, though it left a scar.
