My husband said I was ‘built like a fridge’ so I’ve been secretly planning our divorce – I’m excited to get his £200K
A SCORNED wife has revealed she spent seven years planning how to get revenge on her cheating husband.
She said the early days of their marriage were “wonderful” but things changed after they welcomed their second child together.
He began to complain about how her body looked postpartum and described her as being “built like a refrigerator.”
Having then been caught cheating with her cousin, he gave her a “lazy apology” and expected their marriage to continue as normal.
“I secretly saw a family lawyer, to sum it up for you I would be screwed leaving him,” the wife said, writing on Reddit.
“We only had $25k and that being split up is basically nothing for me. No martial properties. No car. I didn’t have a job. Literally nothing. I was a SAHM [stay-at-home mum].
“I applied for hundreds of jobs during the time and couldn’t find employment anywhere so leaving was a bad decision for me financially speaking especially with 2 small babies.”
The wife caught her husband cheating again but this time with a “random girl” he met on a night out.
His infidelity led to her having an affair “out of anger,” but he never found out about it.
She convinced him to pay for her trade school as their marriage continued and watched as his income grew.
They bought a house and she was able to gain a sense of independence with her career.
She said he has “no idea” that she’s excitedly planning to leave him.
“Now I can walk away with at least $200k and we have martial assets now like the house and the car he also paid off for me,” she said.
“Now I have my education and my own career. I have been working on my weight loss. I lost 66 pounds he paid for my tirzepatide. I had a breast reduction and a breast lift.
“I look amazing, I don’t doubt I’ll probably get remarried eventually.
“Everything in my life is FINALLY set and going the right way.”
Responses to the post were horrified by her husband’s body shaming comments and continuous cheating.
Many said her revenge plan was justified and praised her for planning a way out of the marriage.
“I wish you all the best! I wish more women had the fortitude and drive to see what they wanted and execute the plan to perfection,” one person said.
“You are a testimony to any woman who feels trapped in a marriage where she’s unloved.”
Signs your relationship is heading for a divorce
- Persistent Communication Breakdowns
Constant misunderstandings, arguments, or a complete lack of meaningful conversation can signal deep-seated issues. - Emotional Distance
Feeling like roommates rather than partners, with a noticeable lack of intimacy or emotional connection. - Frequent Criticism and Contempt
Regularly criticising each other and showing contempt, such as sarcasm, eye-rolling, or mocking, can erode the relationship’s foundation. - Unresolved Conflicts
Recurrent arguments about the same issues without any resolution can indicate deeper incompatibilities. - Loss of Trust
Trust is crucial in any relationship. If it’s been broken and cannot be rebuilt, it may be a sign that the relationship is in trouble. - Different Life Goals
Significant differences in future aspirations, such as career goals, lifestyle choices, or family planning, can create insurmountable divides. - Avoidance
Preferring to spend time apart rather than together, whether through work, hobbies, or social activities, can indicate a desire to escape the relationship. - Lack of Support
Feeling unsupported, whether emotionally, financially, or practically, can lead to feelings of isolation and resentment. - Financial Disagreements
Constantly arguing about money, spending habits, or financial priorities can strain the relationship. - Infidelity
Whether physical or emotional, infidelity can be a major breach of trust and a sign of deeper issues in the relationship. - Changes in Affection
A noticeable decrease in affection, physical touch, or romantic gestures can indicate a loss of connection.
Another person reassured the wife that she was making the right choice by leaving her husband.
“I love this for you, he deserves every bit of this and more,” they said.
“Collect all the evidence of his infidelities and take him to the cleaners in court.
“Don’t feel bad for any of it, when he comes begging for you to give him another chance remember how he treated you the past 6 years. Don’t ease off his neck sis.”
Others warned the wife to be careful as her husband could become violent when she files for divorce.
Several commenters confessed she had inspired them to examine their own relationships.
However, among the flood of comments amazed by her resilience was one person who argued her actions were “toxic.”
“The cheating back and bragging how he paid for everything and you don’t have to pay a dime is gross,” they said.
“I’m actually really happy for your husband. Funny how you leave out any flaws in the marriage that came from you.
“You could say the cheating is one, but you don’t seem to think that is a bad thing. I hope no man ends up getting with you after this divorce.
“Especially as a toxic single mom with 2 kids. Yikes!”
