My Husband’s Mistress Showed Up With Moving Boxes To My Own House. She Thought He Successfully Stole My Deed. Should I Tell Her The Truth Before She Unpacks?
The Illusion of Perfection
She had been cheating with my husband for years and even planned to kick me out of my own house. Her confidence level is off the chart, but just one sentence will send it straight to the bottom.
My name is Amara, and until a week ago, I thought my life was perfect. I didn’t think it was the best in the world or without problems, but it was very good to me. Good enough is perfect because, as you’ll see in a moment, life can get worse very quickly. The person who has caused me so much pain is my husband, Alex, whom I’ve been married to for two years.
Before all of this, I was very happy with him, and we rarely had problems. He was a good boyfriend and an even better husband, which made me feel confident that I’d be with him until one of us passed away. But it turns out I was the only one who believed we were meant to be together because my husband clearly thinks he has the right to have other relationships.
I don’t mean that seriously; what I mean is that obviously he’s kept what he’s been doing a secret, and I only found out by accident. Believe me, I love my husband a lot and haven’t given him any reason to cheat on me. I thought we were both very happy in our marriage, and since we both earn well, we also didn’t have financial problems.
So the question on my mind now is: is he doing this because he wants some excitement in his life, or is he truly bored of me? I don’t know; it’s something only he can answer.
A Toxic History
Before explaining further, I need to tell you about someone important to this story: Cassie. Cassie is someone you might call my childhood friend. She’s someone I’ve known since I was a kid, and sometimes we still hang out together occasionally. But all of this isn’t by choice because, honestly, I don’t like her much.
Yes, she’s one of the most jealous and petty people I’ve ever met. The surprising part is that she’s always been like this. From the moment I understood what good friends and bad friends were, I knew she was almost someone I didn’t need to keep close, so I’ve always kept her at a distance while she’s always tried to get closer to me.
The problem with her was that she was always jealous of a lot of people and showed that envy even toward me. She always wanted what I had and couldn’t stand seeing me get something better than her. She was bad at hiding her emotions and always got mad when I asked her to stop doing those things.
Now, I know the most obvious question here, right? If I had so many problems with her from the start, why is she still my friend? Well, the answer, guys, is very simple. At some point, I realized she was a toxic friend who would worsen my life, but I could never completely cut her off.
That’s because her parents and mine have been friends for a long time, so she’s like a family member, or a family friend, or even part of my family to my parents. So, I couldn’t just stop seeing her because she was always around at gatherings and that sort of thing. I also couldn’t tell my parents that I hated her.
Sometimes I felt bad because she acted like she genuinely cared, but even though I couldn’t cut her off, it wasn’t like we had a real friendship. I’ve never been the kind of person to have many friends, and since she’s close to my family, she stayed in my life. Right now, I only have about three friends I consider true friends. One of them is my best friend, Molly, who I’ll talk about in a moment.
As I mentioned, she’s pretty much the same person even now, and I just try to avoid her as best as I can. But as you know, since she’s almost family, I really can’t avoid her. We have a tolerable relationship, but I’m sure she’s always been a little jealous of me since I ended up doing bigger and better things in life than she did.
To be completely honest with you, yes, I have a better job and got married after finding what I thought was a great man. Meanwhile, she works in a small job and is always in and out of relationships, which isn’t surprising if you knew her. I knew she didn’t like seeing me do well in life, but I had no idea she was so jealous that she tried to destroy my marriage or take my place.
