It's a tale as old as time, or at least
0:02
as old as the modern diet industry.
0:05
A man loses a significant amount of
0:07
weight, and his wife, who initially
0:10
inspired the change, struggles with her
0:12
own desires, leading to a dramatic
0:15
breakdown of their marriage. But this
0:17
story is anything but typical. It's a
0:20
raw, unflinching look at the devastating
0:23
consequences of broken trust,
0:24
manipulation, and a love that for one
0:27
person became conditional.
0:30
Mark, a man weighing 325 lbs, was at a
0:33
crossroads.
0:34
His wife Sarah, driven by the
0:36
heartbreaking loss of friends to heart
0:38
attacks, was worried.
0:40
Her solution, a radical proposal. She
0:44
would only engage in intimacy with him
0:46
four times a year on Valentine's Day,
0:49
their anniversary, and their birthdays,
0:52
unless he lost weight. For 2 years, Mark
0:56
dedicated himself to this daunting task.
0:59
He shed an astonishing 118 lbs, a
1:02
testament to his love for Sarah and his
1:04
commitment to a healthier life. But the
1:06
journey was a grueling one, and he was
1:08
exhausted. When Mark, now a lean 207 lb,
1:12
confessed to Sarah that he wanted to
1:13
quit, he expected understanding. He
1:16
didn't get it. Instead, Sarah issued a
1:19
chilling ultimatum. If he stopped his
1:22
weight loss journey, their intimacy
1:24
would remain restricted to four times a
1:26
year. And in a moment of stunning
1:28
cruelty, she added that she would have
1:30
to seek fulfillment elsewhere to meet
1:32
her needs. The words hung in the air
1:35
like a poisoned dart.
1:38
The very foundation of their marriage,
1:40
which had been built on a fragile
1:41
promise, began to crack. Mark's shock
1:45
gave way to a deep, heartbreaking
1:47
sadness and then a furious, disgusted
1:50
rage. In that instant, Sarah realized
1:54
her grave mistake.
1:56
She had pushed the man she claimed to
1:58
love to his breaking point and
1:59
threatened to betray him as a reward for
2:01
his monumental effort. Mark, his voice,
2:04
trembling with a mix of fury and
2:06
betrayal, laid bare his heart. He had
2:08
sacrificed for her, endured two years of
2:11
deprivation, and his reward was not
2:14
closeness, but a threat of infidelity.
2:17
He accused her of using intimacy as a
2:19
weapon, a tool of manipulation.
2:22
He looked at her. Truly, looked at her
2:24
and saw a stranger. "You've ruined our
2:27
marriage," he said, his voice a low
2:30
growl. "I don't know what to believe
2:32
anymore."
2:33
Sarah, in a desperate attempt to salvage
2:35
what was left, insisted she never meant
2:37
it. But her words fell on deaf ears. The
2:41
damage was done. Mark, needing time and
2:45
space to process this seismic shift,
2:47
walked out, leaving Sarah in a desolate
2:50
silence, her world crumbling around her.
2:53
She sat there sobbing, a single,
2:55
devastating thought echoing in her mind.
2:58
How could I have been so stupid? A
3:01
husband's suspicions and a bartender's
3:03
help. Mark spent the next few hours in a
3:05
haze of confusion and hurt. He had to
3:07
know. The uncertainty was a corrosive
3:10
poison, eating away at his soul. He had
3:13
to find out if Sarah had been faithful.
3:16
His first stop was the phone company.
3:18
Using his name on their joint account,
3:20
he requested call logs for their home
3:22
phone and Sarah's cell phone for the
3:24
past 3 years.
3:26
A small fee and a few hours later, he
3:30
had his answer in the form of two CDs
3:32
filled with a mountain of data. Locked
3:35
in his home office with Sarah asleep in
3:37
their bed, Mark began his meticulous
3:39
investigation.
3:41
He was looking for patterns, for
3:43
anomalies, anything that would confirm
3:45
or deny his growing suspicions.
3:48
He found it. Buried deep in the data
3:50
were two numbers that stood out, one
3:53
with over 200 calls and another with
3:55
more than 50.
3:57
Mark's detective work deepened as he
3:59
sorted the calls by day and time. The
4:02
results sent a cold shiver down his
4:04
spine.
4:05
Every Wednesday at 11:05 a.m., just as
4:08
his weekly staff meeting began, a call
4:10
was made from Sarah's phone to the first
4:12
unknown number. On a few Fridays each
4:14
month, while he was golfing with
4:16
friends, a call was made to the second
4:18
number. Mark, his stomach twisting in
4:21
knots, knew it was too much of a
4:22
coincidence to be a coincidence. He
4:25
needed to find out who these numbers
4:26
belong to. He ran a reverse lookup and,
4:29
to his horror, recognized the second
4:32
number. It belonged to Tony, his
4:34
personal trainer, the very man Sarah had
4:37
found for him. Mark was sick with a mix
4:40
of anger and self-loathing. He had been
4:42
so proud of his transformation, not
4:44
realizing it was all a part of Sarah's
4:46
elaborate, cruel ruse. Needing a drink
4:48
and a place to think, he went back to
4:50
Gishams, the bar he and Sarah used to
4:52
frequent. He confided in the bartender,
4:55
a beautiful and kind woman named Brenda.
4:58
He explained the situation and asked for
5:00
her help. He gave her the first unknown
5:03
number, the one with over 200 calls, and
5:06
asked her to pretend she was a woman
5:07
named Jennifer, who had gotten the
5:09
number from a friend. Brenda, a natural,
5:12
took the phone and, in a brilliant
5:14
display of acting, confirmed the number
5:16
belonged to Tony. She even managed to
5:18
get him to admit he had an open slot for
5:20
a new client, a slot that had just
5:23
opened up because of a dropout.
5:25
Mark, his heartbreaking, knew that
5:28
dropout was him. Brenda, with a mix of
5:30
sympathy and righteous anger, told Mark
5:33
he was a hunk and that his wife was a
5:34
fool. Mark, for the first time in days,
5:38
smiled. Brenda, in a few simple words,
5:41
had not only helped him get the
5:42
information he needed, but had also
5:44
managed to lift his deflated spirits.
5:47
Mark went home, a plan for revenge
5:49
solidifying in his mind.
5:52
He was going to catch Sarah and Tony in
5:54
the act and give her a taste of her own
5:56
manipulative medicine.
5:58
With the help of his boss, who had also
6:00
been his confidant, Mark acquired a set
6:02
of high-tech bugs. He planted one on
6:05
their home phone and with a heavy heart,
6:08
one on Sarah's cell phone. His most
6:11
audacious move, however, was bugging
6:13
Tony's phone by sneaking into the gym
6:15
and planting the bug while Tony was
6:17
distracted. The risk was enormous, but
6:20
Mark felt he had nothing left to lose.
6:23
Listening to the tapped phones from his
6:24
car, Mark's worst fears were confirmed.
6:28
He heard Sarah's voice full of
6:29
trepidation, telling Tony they needed to
6:32
be careful because Mark was suspicious.
6:35
He heard her admit to having an affair
6:36
with Tony that had been going on for 2
6:38
and 1/2 years, even before he started
6:40
his diet. She confessed that she had
6:43
initially cut him off from intimacy, not
6:45
to motivate him, but to have more time
6:47
with Tony. The betrayal was so deep and
6:50
so complete that Mark felt a physical
6:53
sickness. His heart broke, but his
6:55
anger, a cold, hard fury, began to burn.
6:59
His plan began on a seemingly ordinary
7:01
Saturday. The doorbell rang, and Sarah,
7:05
still reeling from the emotional turmoil
7:07
of the past few days, opened it to find
7:09
Brenda, Mark's bartender friend.
7:12
Brenda introduced herself as a friend of
7:14
Marks and told a stunned Sarah that Mark
7:17
had invited her to use the pool.
7:20
Soon after, two more women arrived.
7:22
Sally, a longtime work associate of
7:24
Markx, and Linda, a waitress from
7:27
Gishams.
7:28
Sarah watched, a knot of dread
7:30
tightening in her stomach as the three
7:33
beautiful women settled around the pool.
7:36
They laughed, they talked, and to her
7:40
utter dismay, they stripped off their
7:42
bikini tops for an all over tan.
7:45
Sarah, who was still trying to navigate
7:48
her way through Mark's cold
7:49
indifference, was now faced with three
7:51
women.
7:53
all of whom seemed to have a connection
7:54
to her husband. Brenda, the most direct
7:57
of the three, approached Sarah. In a
8:00
calm, measured voice, she explained that
8:02
Mark had confided in her about
8:04
everything.
8:05
She told Sarah that Mark had a plan. For
8:09
every instance of infidelity he
8:10
discovered, he was going to be intimate
8:12
with one of the three women. And if
8:15
Sarah lied, he would be intimate with
8:17
one of them for each lie.
8:20
He's a good man, Sally. The coworker
8:22
added, and a hunk now. Linda, the
8:25
waitress, confessed that she had been
8:27
admiring Mark for years, wishing she had
8:30
a man just like him. At precisely 400
8:33
p.m., Mark walked out onto the pool
8:35
deck. He looked at Sarah, then at the
8:37
three women, and a slow, cruel smile
8:40
spread across his face. He asked Sarah
8:42
two questions, demanding the truth. Have
8:45
you ever cheated on me? and have you
8:48
ever been with Tony from the gym? Sarah,
8:51
stunned and terrified, denied
8:53
everything. Mark, with a calm that
8:55
belied the storm raging inside him, laid
8:57
out the evidence. He described the call
9:00
logs, the pattern of her deceit, the way
9:02
she had manipulated him. He had no
9:04
pictures, no video, but he had something
9:06
more powerful, irrefutable proof. Sarah
9:10
stood there, her world crashing down
9:12
around her. As Mark introduced the three
9:14
women, he described their connections to
9:17
him, their admiration for him, and their
9:19
willingness to be a part of his revenge.
9:22
He told Sarah in a voice devoid of love
9:24
that his feelings of hurt, disgust, and
9:26
anger outweighed his love for her. The
9:29
revenge, it seemed, had only just begun.
