After discovering that his late wife had been unfaithful to him for over thirty years, a man shared his story on Reddit. Once he learned of her long-term betrayal, he began devising a plan to seek revenge for her infidelity.
In the interim, the guy decided to organize his wife’s possessions because he would need to wait two weeks for postmortem papers before burying her.
Assisted by his son, he went through her things. After charging her devices to check if they were still functional, they discovered a pile of documents. Upon closer inspection, the man discovered they were love letters from an unidentified individual.
The Redditor dated his spouse for seven years before getting married in 1986. After being married, they made the decision to relocate to the woman’s little hamlet. “We met at a holiday camp in Scotland in 1979,” he clarified.
Four days a week, he worked night shifts while his wife took care of their kids at home. Before learning of the love letters following his wife’s passing, he thought he had the ideal existence with her. The same man’s texts were discovered by the man on her devices as well. When he saw the texts, he was taken aback and couldn’t believe his wife had cheated on him.
According to the original poster (OP), the man with whom his wife had an affair had passed away seven years prior to her death. The OP explained that the man was a close family friend who often visited their home while OP was there, leaving shortly before OP went to work. As a result, the OP was quite familiar with him.
When he asked his children if they had ever seen the man while he was away, they said no. He revealed, “She had been involved in the affair since the first year of our marriage.” This infuriated the OP, as the relationship had lasted the entire time the man was alive. To make matters worse, he later discovered that their affair was no secret and had been known to the entire community.
OP learned that the man believed one of their four children was his after going through all of the texts and letters. His kids had different reactions when he informed them about it. While two of his children informed him they were certain he was their father and declined to take the test, the other two expressed their desire to participate in a DNA test.
In the meantime, the OP felt so hurt by the disclosure of his wife’s infidelity that he desired to exact revenge on her. He made the decision to disregard his wife’s wishes because he knew she preferred to be buried next to her parents.
Instead of laying her to rest in England, he decided to send her body 300 kilometers away from the village. This action angered the local community when they saw him taking her remains away.
The fact that they had never informed him about his wife’s adulterous affair made OP indifferent to their feelings. He informed them that even if they went the legal path, he would never permit them to bury her close to her parents because he owned the land. The Redditor concluded his post by stating that he had taken DNA testing with his kids and was awaiting the findings.
The DNA Findings
The DNA results revealed shocking news, even though two of the Redditor’s children were confident he was their father. It turned out that all four of his sons had different fathers, and none of them were biologically his.
According to their ancestry results, the boys had further siblings they were unaware of in addition to being half-siblings. He discovered the identities of the children’s half-siblings and fathers. The Redditor then began to plan his retaliation.
The Retaliation
The heartbroken husband attended a church service with 250 people in attendance. He gave the pastor an envelope containing £200 (around $256) to cover the cost of a memorial service he had arranged for his wife, whom he had decided to bury in a different town. However, his ultimate plan included revealing the names of everyone in the community who had been involved in an affair with his wife.
The first person he called was the man who had been involved with his wife while she was pregnant. In fact, the Redditor explained that his wife became pregnant only a few months after this man had gotten her pregnant. The Redditor then shared the information with his wife, along with a link to the DNA test results to back up his claims.
When the Redditor asked the next person she phoned how long they had been married, they replied that they had been married for 28 years. After asking him why he had written his wife a love letter in the 1990s, the Redditor dropped yet another shocking revelation. Along with revealing that he and his spouse had conceived a child, he provided them with the DNA findings as evidence.
The chairman, who was thought of as a man with a flawless marriage, was the final person to speak. His spouse never imagined her husband would be one of the infidelity-addled men. However, the 30-year married chairperson has a child with his wife, the Redditor informed them.
The Redditor informed these men that the kids were willing to meet their biological fathers and knew who they were. Some Redditors thought the OP did a good job of getting his retribution and thought the narrative was interesting.
