I am going to write this part just like she wrote it. “I was in shock, and I covered myself with a blanket by pure instinct. When I reacted, I saw you pushing and kicking Baldi out of the room and the house. When I heard you closing the door and coming back, I didn’t know what to say.”
“I had never seen you that angry before. Then you said, ‘I have never hurt you, nor will I.’ That is true. In the years we have known each other, you have never hurt me, not even when we found out it was my fault that we couldn’t have children.”
After that, she heard me crying in the spare room. She wanted to comfort me, but how could she? At the main door, we have a mirror to check ourselves before going out. She looked at herself but couldn’t bear the sight.
When she entered her car, she cried and asked herself, “What have I done?” Baldi called her that night, but she blocked him. She arrived at my sister-in-law’s house around midnight, two hours after the drama. Her house is about 40 minutes from mine.
She was scared to tell my sister-in-law what happened because my sister-in-law is older and has a very strong character. The next day, she told Flirty what had happened. Flirty told her she should be happy she got rid of me.
I am going to copy this part too.
“And then what, babe? You’re free. You can have sex with Baldi or any guy you want.”
“And then?”
“I don’t follow you.”
“What will happen when I’m tired of having sex with a bunch of guys?”
“Then you can decide which one to date seriously.”
“And then what?”
“I don’t know. Get married, I suppose.”
“But I already had a marriage.”
“But it was with OP. He’s a loser. I bet Baldi is a hundred times better than him.”
“No, that’s not true. He gave me a good life.”
“Don’t settle for so little. You can have a better man.”
Then they had a big fight in front of the co-workers. Jane can’t recall it well, but she remembers swearing and yelling at Flirty. Flirty told her that any guy hotter than me was better than me. I don’t understand what she has against me, but Jane realized what she had destroyed.
She was inconsolable, and her boss let her go home early. The next day was when I showed my sister-in-law the video. Jane was babysitting my sister-in-law’s twins. After I drove my sister-in-law home, she asked Jane to help her go do some errands, just the two of them.
That was a lie. They parked at a park, and my sister-in-law demanded to know what was going through Jane’s head when she cheated on me. Jane cried and said, “I don’t know.”
My sister-in-law confessed she had been envious of our marriage. Eleven years and not a huge fight. We both looked happy. She couldn’t believe her little sister was capable of such a thing.
Jane had been there for my sister-in-law when her ex-husband left her for another woman. Jane asked her not to kick her out. My sister-in-law told her she could stay because the house belonged to both of them, but she let Jane know she was very disappointed and that she would side with me if I ever needed help. Jane understood.
The next Sunday, Jane came to apologize, but I was not home. When she received my attorney’s card, she called, and my attorney confirmed I had hired him. She knew I was really going to divorce her. So she went to her new home, wrote a confession, and sent it to everybody we both know.
I started receiving messages and phone calls the following week, but I didn’t want to read her answer. Now I have read some of the DMs, and most of them want to comfort me. One of her cousins said it takes guts to confess, so I should give her a chance.
The following week, Jane tried to distract herself with work. But it seems everyone now knows she cheated. In my country, if you are unfaithful, people see you like an easy woman. So female co-workers don’t talk to her, especially Flirty, and male co-workers are annoyingly friendly to her.
She would have to be relocated, but that would take months, so she quit her job the following Friday. She has a good amount of savings. We had separate finances, and since I was the big earner, I paid for almost everything.
The next day, she was looking for me. In her words, she wanted to beg me to take her back. She came here, but when she saw I wasn’t home, she went to my parents. My dad refused to speak to her.
My mom was sympathetic and told her she was sorry about all of this, but her son, me, was really hurt and had asked them not to talk about her anymore. Jane understood, then went to my brother’s house. He told her, “OP is not here, and frankly, I don’t want to talk to you,” and closed the door in her face.
She came back to her new house very sad. All last week, she had been reflecting on her actions. She has been really depressed, realizing how much damage she did to our relationship, to her family, and to mine. All for the meaningless pleasure coming from a douchebag who, in her words, believes vaccines are just a pharmacy scam and believes in astrology.
Yes, Baldi is heavily tattooed. He has a Taurus sign on his arm.
My sister-in-law suggested Jane go to therapy. I don’t blame her. If my brother were in the same situation, I would be very disappointed, but I would try to make him realize what was wrong with him. Jane finally went to therapy, and her therapist suggested she write me this letter and come clean to me.
