My Husband Started Acting Suspiciously Lately, and When I Found Out Why, I Nearly Ruined His Life — Story of the Day

I felt my chest tighten. “Trent, what’s going on? You don’t talk to me anymore. You’re always disappearing, always on your phone. Just be honest with me—are you cheating? Is it with Kira?”

He stopped and looked at me. “What? No. I’m not cheating with Kira. I promise,” he said, then stood up and left, shutting the door behind him.

I had reached my limit. I was tired of the lies, the excuses, the constant hiding. That night, when Trent rushed out, I decided to follow him. I kept my distance, hands tight on the steering wheel.

He drove to Kira’s house. Anger surged through me. How could he lie to my face and then sneak off to her? I parked down the street, my hands shaking as I got out. I could hardly breathe. This was it—the moment that would change everything.

The front door was open, and I stepped inside. I moved quietly, my heart thudding louder with each step. I headed toward the bedroom, hearing soft whispers, then sounds no wife wants to hear. My stomach twisted, but I pushed forward.

When I opened the door, I froze. Trent was in bed, but not with Kira. He was with Colin. I stood there, numb. “What the…” was all I could manage to say, my voice barely above a whisper.

“Alison!” Trent jumped, pulling the blanket over himself. “I can explain.”

I felt cold, my hands trembling. “Don’t come home tonight,” I said, then turned and ran. Trent called after me, but I didn’t look back. Tears blurred my vision as I drove away, wishing he’d listen and stay away.
