This story is called. My wife of 17 years was caught cheating with her mechanic.
My wife of 17 years cheated with her mechanic. Yep, you heard that right, she was cheating
with her mechanic, because, she couldn't pay for her
car repairs.
I found out in a strange way,
I guess people are wondering how this happened, well, we have one vehicle and it s an older
one.
I lost my job during the pandemic and at the time, my wife was the only one working.
We don t have any kids, she was not able to conceive and we haven t looked into having
children, I am glad we didn't now, since this has come to
light.
I have tried to find work almost everyday, except Sunday, we do have bills like any other
couple, mortgage, lights, internet etc.
I found out, because there was a receipt on the kitchen counter that said, your car is
fixed sweetie , I thought to myself, why in the world was her
car mechanic calling her sweetie, I thought that was a little
inappropriate.
Well, I made it a point to ask her about that when I saw her.
Later that night, when she got home, I asked her about the receipt, and said to her, why
was her mechanic calling her sweetie, she blew it
off, and said, he says that to all of his clients, I looked at her
like she was crazy, then said to her, he says that to the guys to?
She says no, you know what I mean, I said no, I do NOT know what you mean.
I then asked her, was she cheating on me, she says NO, she is NOT, and tells me, I am
overreacting, and there is no need for me to be jealous.
We argued a bit more, but I caved, and didn't bring it up anymore.
The next morning, I had a few places to go to apply for some jobs, my wife was still
sleeping because she had the day off.
So, I got up and wanted to go clean the car before going to these establishments to apply
for these jobs.
My wife works as a store manager for a store chain, I won t disclose it, for my privacy.
Well, I went to the car wash, and, when I started to vacuum the car, I found an open
condom wrapper, NOW, my heart is racing, and my mind is racing.
At that moment, I wanted to confront her, but, I thought to myself, how would she explain
this away.
If I confronted her, she would probably give me a crazy story and deny it.
I was stumped at what to do next, so, I called my brother and told him everything that happened
the day before, the note, (which was the receipt),
on the kitchen counter, and finding the open condom
wrapper.
I told him, that the receipt even said, your car is fixed sweetie , he said, that sounds
a little sketchy, he then asks me, did you ask her about that,
I told him, we had an argument.
My brother and I have always been close, he is the wealthy one.
He then asks me, what was I going to do, I told him, I wanted to confront her,
but, all she would do is deny it.
He then says, hey, just hire a private investigator to get your evidence, don t make the mistake
I did when I divorced.
Get your evidence, then confront her. I told him I couldn't afford that, he says, I will
pay for it, I have the means to.
He told me to take a photo of the condom, he then tells me, that s a start.
He tells me he will put me in touch with a friend of his who is a private
investigator.
After hanging up with my brother, I didn't know how I was going to confront her, my mind
was NOT in a good place, I still had to go to a few places
and fill out these applications.
I was able to apply for the positions and started making my way home, in between that
time, my wife sent me a few text messages, but, I didn't
respond.
When I got home, my wife rushes up to me, and kisses me, and hugs me, but, she suspected
something, stepped back, and asked me was I okay, I said,
I am fine, and walked away and put the keys on the
kitchen counter.
She walks over to the kitchen counter and grabs the keys to the car, and says, she will
be back in a few, I said okay, and walked toward the dining room.
When she left, I called my brother and he told me to expect a phone call from his friend,
that's a private investigator.
I quickly hung up the phone, and a few minutes later, the private investigator calls me,
and asks how can he help me.
I just flat out told him, that I think my wife is cheating on me, I told him about the
note and the condom wrapper in our car.
We then setup a time for me to come into his office, and hash out the details, he also
told me, that this service, has already been paid for.
After we setup a time to meet, I called a divorce attorney, and told him, I was looking
to file for divorce and told him the reason why.
The first thing he asks, is do you have any proof that she has
been unfaithful, and I told him that there was a suspicious receipt and a condom wrapper
in our car.
He then informs me, that unfortunately that wasn't enough.
He says, I need more proof, and, I informed him, that I do have a private investigator
that s working for me.
He says, it would be a wise decision to wait until he has more concrete proof.
He then asks, do we have any assets together, I told him we have a home together, but, It's
in her name and she pays the mortgage on it, I also told
him I have some cryptocurrency stashed that she doesn't
know about, he looks at me and tells me, he didn't hear me say that .
I told him I didn't care about the house, because I don t own it anyway.
I politely thanked the attorney for his time, and told him, I will be in touch.
I will be back with an update sometime, I am NOT sure when, but, I will be back, it
actually helps writing this out, so, if anyone is going through something
similar, you can learn from my situation, and
marriages that last long term are not immune to crap like this.
UPDATE:
Here is an update to my story. Well, my brother hired the private investigator on my behalf,
and he discovered that my wife was indeed having
sex with her mechanic on a regular basis, not because the
car needed to be fixed, and she didn't have any money to get it fixed.
Turns out, it was an old boyfriend she dated in high school. The private investigator did
some digging on the guy's end, and found through his Facebook,
that he and my wife secretly rekindled their relationship.
After gathering all of the evidence from the private investigator, I contacted the divorce
attorney again, he filed for divorce on my behalf, my wife
still doesn't know I have filed for divorce.
Well, that's where we are, my wife is working late tonight, so she says, my brother is coming
to my place to help me move out, and I plan to be out
of the house before she gets home.
A lot of people are wondering what my brother does, he is a real estate investor, and has
a degree in electrical engineering, lets just say, he
is loaded.
Just as I thought, my wife sends me a text and says she is going to be working later
than normal, something about inventory.
I didn't respond, because, I knew she was probably lying, as the private investigator
caught them on a couple of occasions having sex in the car,
oh, just so you guys know, I haven't touched her since I found
out she has been cheating on me with the mechanic, (Which happens to be an old high school
boyfriend).
My brother and I finish packing about 11pm, and, my wife still isn't home, which is the
latest she has ever worked at that company, right then, I
get a text with a link attached to it, it s from my private
investigator, and it s a video of my wife and this guy in the back seat, she is straddling
him.
All I could do is shake my head. At that moment, I decided to make sure I was going to get
something from this divorce.
I showed my brother, and he just said, man, I am so sorry.
We were finished packing, at that moment, I sent a text with the link attached to it
to my wife and said, I will see you in divorce court .
For about 3 hours, I didn't hear anything, at about 2am, my phone is on fire, she s calling,
texting etc.
She bombed me for about 3 hours, and then, everything stopped.
When I got up that morning, I contacted the divorce attorney and asked him about spousal
support.
He told me, he can ask for it in court, I told him, I will take whatever I can get.
A few days go by, and, I haven't heard from my wife after the initial flood of texts and
calls.
Today, I went to my cellular provider, AT&T and changed my number, so, she won't be able
to contact me.
My brother had a hunch, we were done with the private investigator, but, my brother
just had this hunch, he told me, he thinks she is still
seeing this guy.
So, he calls up his friend, the private investigator to see if he could just do one more stake
out just to confirm his hunch, the private investigator
was happy to do it.
So, that night, the private investigator staked out the mechanic's shop, and sure enough,
they were not in her car this time, she actually went into
his shop after hours, and the private investigator said that my
soon to be ex-wife looked around, as if to make sure it's clear.
After he compiled that footage, he sent it to me and I forwarded it to my attorney.
I asked my brother why he felt the need to do that, he says, the same thing happened
to him, his wife proclaimed she wanted to save the marriage,
even offered marriage counseling, which turned out to be
a cover, as she was still seeing the guy while ATTENDING marriage counseling
He said, he didn't think my wife could just stop seeing this guy on a whim. Turns out,
he was right.
The next day, I get a call from my attorney and he says, my wife was served with divorce
papers.
I will let everyone know what happens at the divorce hearing, thank you everyone for the
awesome support.
2nd Update:
Well, this will be it for me. I am officially divorced and my ex wife didn't really put
up a fight, she was shocked to see all of the evidence in court,
to my surprise, she did hire an attorney, but, that didn't do
any good.
Oh, I ended up getting spousal support from her in the amount of $900 per month for 7
years, OR, until I remarry.
It came to light that she had a small trust fund that was set up for her when she was
a child.
I never knew in the 17 years we were married, she hid it from me.
Now, it all makes sense, she never stressed over the bills, even when I lost
my job, she would always say, we will be okay..
I really didn't pay attention to any red flags that a lot of people spoke of, but, I don't
think I saw any, UNTIL, I saw the receipt on the counter.
I am a free man, I will be 49 in a few months, and, I am actually looking forward to the
single life.
