When we marry, we think we know our partner, but a 32-year-old woman named Stephanie discovered a shocking truth about her husband, Mike, after five years of marriage. In a letter, she shared how a seemingly ordinary rule—Mike insisting she never clean the fridge without him—led to an unraveling secret.
Mike’s unusual behavior focused on a metal can in the fridge, which he claimed contained rare olives. For years, he was adamant Stephanie never touch it. One day, while cleaning the fridge in his absence, Stephanie found the can leaking. Thinking it was expired, she decided to throw it away, but as it spilled, she realized the contents were not olives but two preserved umbilical cord pieces.
