hey everyone I'm just a regular guy who
0:02
thought he had a solid marriage until
0:04
one sunny Sunday changed everything I
0:07
was driving my wife Amelia's car to pick
0:08
up some lawn chairs listening to This
0:10
American Life on
0:12
NPR The stories were so captivating I
0:15
got lost in them Then they mentioned a
0:17
book that caught my attention I reached
0:19
into the center console to grab a pen
0:21
fumbling through CD cases a crumpled
0:23
candy wrapper a Starbucks cup even a
0:25
folding comb But what I found next made
0:28
my heart stop a package of
0:29
contraceptives That discovery sent my
0:31
car swerving I nearly veered off the
0:33
road my mind racing A red Toyota zoomed
0:36
past driven by a red-haired woman with
0:38
an earring snapping me back to reality
0:41
The speedometer read 34 Menappi Dust
0:43
coated the dashboard and crushed beetles
0:45
littered the windshield reminders of
0:47
time and journeys past As I grabbed a CD
0:50
case its rough edges scratched my wrist
0:53
jolting me further One question burned
0:56
in my mind Is this mine had I ever
0:59
considered
1:00
infidelity was this a sign of something
1:02
darker i couldn't shake the feeling that
1:04
something was wrong I tore through the
1:07
car glove compartment trunk under seats
1:10
desperate for answers Then under the
1:13
passenger seat I found a plastic grocery
1:15
bag hiding a spiralbound notebook My
1:18
heart pounded as I opened it The first
1:20
two pages were blank but then I saw
1:23
cryptic lists one date crossed out It
1:26
was the day I'd been sick and stayed
1:27
home unexpectedly The contraceptives the
1:30
notebook the dates they pointed to
1:32
something planned something secret The
1:34
lists matched my work trip schedule
1:37
Hotels like Holiday Inn and Travel Lodge
1:39
One entry pointed to a meeting the next
1:41
day at 1:30 p.m at a Travel Lodge It hit
1:44
me like a ton of bricks Amelia had been
1:46
having an affair for 4 months This
1:48
wasn't a one-time mistake It was
1:50
deliberate calculated My world crumbled
1:54
Part of me hoped I was wrong that there
1:56
was another explanation But the evidence
1:58
was clear I felt anger resentment and a
2:02
lingering love that made letting go so
2:04
hard I was a mess of emotions anger
2:06
sadness confusion Was Amelia involved in
2:09
something illegal a secret business
2:12
another person maybe even a woman I
2:15
imagined confronting her hearing her say
2:17
"I'm sorry my love I never wanted you to
2:19
find out." Or worse blaming me for her
2:22
actions
2:24
The worst thought hit me She'd slept
2:26
with my brother John after learning
2:28
about my infertility That betrayal cut
2:30
deeper than anything How do you even
2:32
process something like that if you faced
2:35
betrayal how did you cope drop it in the
2:38
comments I need your wisdom That night I
2:40
put on a mask of normaly When Amelia
2:42
tried talking about a book I brushed her
2:44
off saying work was stressing me out I
2:47
cleaned dishes until she fell asleep
2:49
avoiding her The next morning I drove to
2:52
the old Holiday Inn where I suspected
2:54
her meeting would happen I'm no cheater
2:58
Honestyy's always been my thing It
3:00
served me well as a negotiator and
3:02
manager So I walked up to the
3:04
receptionist and said "I think my wife's
3:06
meeting someone here at 1:30 I suspect
3:09
an affair Can I see the surveillance
3:11
footage?" The receptionist was skeptical
3:13
saying "I can't grant access sir We
3:15
prioritize guest privacy." I get it He
3:19
didn't know me didn't trust my
3:20
intentions but I'm not the guy who slips
3:22
a $20 bill to get what I want Instead I
3:25
built rapport We chatted I bought a
3:28
Subway tuna for me chicken bacon ranch
3:30
for him We talked about his life his
3:33
nephew's troubles his dad's health even
3:35
the Atkins diet By noon he agreed to let
3:38
me watch the security monitors with him
3:40
ensuring
3:41
transparency It felt good to find a
3:43
solution that worked for both of us At
3:45
1:25 Amelia pulled into the hotel's back
3:48
entrance far from the street She sat in
3:51
her car on the phone twirling her hair
3:53
At exactly 1:30 a sleek blue BMW parked
3:56
beside her A tall man with brown hair
3:59
stepped out grabbed a room key and
4:01
glanced at her Amelia checked her
4:03
reflection got out and walked toward him
4:06
He slipped his arm around her waist as
4:08
they entered the hotel The door closed
4:10
sealing their secret My heart sank I'd
4:13
seen enough Betrayal is a gut punch But
4:16
this was worse I learned later that the
4:19
man was Tom my best friend of 20 years
4:22
He was my best man at our wedding just
4:24
as I was for his younger brother He knew
4:27
how much Amelia meant to me how
4:29
committed I was to our marriage His
4:32
betrayal hurt almost as much as hers If
4:35
you've been betrayed by someone close
4:37
how did you handle it share below I'm
4:40
still figuring this out I needed to
4:42
clear my head so I hit the golf course
4:45
Each swing of my four iron felt like an
4:47
extension of myself the ball soaring
4:49
with clarity Golf's funny like that
4:52
Those fleeting moments of focus make the
4:54
chaos fade Feeling a surge of confidence
4:57
I called Tom's wife Peg and invited them
5:00
to dinner at Cyros at 7 I left Amelia a
5:03
message to meet me there too I wanted
5:05
answers but I needed to face this head
5:07
on with everyone in the room When I got
5:09
home Amelia was in the shower Her gym
5:11
bag tempted me to snoop but I found
5:14
nothing I called out that I'd shower too
5:16
Feeling the weight of what was coming
5:18
That night as we lay together Amelia's
5:21
passion felt real like we were connected
5:23
again But I knew it might be our last
5:25
moment before everything changed At
5:28
Cyros the four of us me Amelia Tom and
5:31
Peg sat together the air thick with
5:33
tension I didn't waste time I asked
5:36
"What would you do if your best friend
5:37
betrayed you or if your spouse was
5:39
having an affair with them?" The table
5:41
went silent Tom froze Peg's eyes widened
5:45
and Amelia's hand gripped mine Peg got
5:48
it first She slapped Tom hard across the
5:50
face Time slowed as I savored the moment
5:54
Memories of Tom and me as kids flashing
5:55
by playing ball debating who'd be a
5:58
better Formula 1 racer or movie star Now
6:01
he was just the guy who broke my trust I
6:03
turned to Amelia and asked "How should I
6:05
respond to your unfaithfulness a fight
6:07
or a divorce?" Silence Peg slapped Tom
6:11
again then grabbed her purse and stormed
6:13
out I calmly asked Tom to pay the bill
6:16
told him to take the leftovers and led
6:18
Amelia to the car She started sobbing
6:20
saying "I'm really sorry." I snapped
6:23
"Sorry you got caught Sorry you ruined
6:26
our marriage Sorry you seduced my best
6:28
friend." Her tears fell but I was done I
6:32
drove her to her parents house and told
6:34
her to get out She begged to stay but I
6:36
shouted "Get out!" and drove off Back
6:38
home I wanted to drown my pain in a
6:40
drink and TV but rage took over I tore
6:43
through Amelia's closet ripping her
6:45
clothes slicing them with a chef's knife
6:48
I threw our wedding album into the
6:50
fireplace watching it burn with her
6:52
underwear I collapsed in an armchair
6:54
watching a football game until I passed
6:56
out Those hours were agony every moment
7:00
heavy with betrayal
7:02
I saw how jealousy and anger could pull
7:04
you to a dark place Morning brought calm
7:06
but the bedroom was a wreck Torn clothes
7:08
burnt bras the ashes of our wedding
7:10
album I showered letting the water wash
7:13
away the pain Memories of our intimate
7:16
moments lingered But I knew my life had
7:18
changed forever I called Tom To my
7:21
surprise he answered apologizing
7:24
profusely He said it started as harmless
7:26
flirting at the mall spiraling out of
7:28
control He regretted it but it was too
7:31
late I told him "Our friendship's over
7:34
You're out of my life." I hung up while
7:36
he was still talking Was I went to
7:38
Amelia's parents house Her dad greeted
7:40
me looking sad She loves you he said
7:44
calling her actions
7:45
foolish Inside Amelia sat at the kitchen
7:48
table pale eyes swollen from crying I
7:51
took a deep breath and said "I'm filing
7:53
for divorce You betrayed me Our marriage
7:56
everything I believed in The pain you
7:58
caused is immeasurable I'm doing this
8:00
because you love me You need to feel the
8:03
loss I offered a chance to start over
8:05
after the divorce but only if she proved
8:07
she was a good person She nodded tears
8:10
in her eyes But I was firm Our marriage
8:14
was over The divorce took 4 months
8:16
faster than Amelia's affair We sold our
8:19
apartment She moved in with her parents
8:21
and I found a new place I cut contact
8:24
with Tom and barely spoke to Amelia Peg
8:26
reached out twice but I told her I'd
8:28
only reconnect if she distanced herself
8:30
from Tom She didn't call again I heard
8:34
they sought counseling I took a vacation
8:36
to Chile hiking and rock climbing
8:38
letting physical activity clear my mind
8:40
It was therapy in motion When I returned
8:43
Amelia left a message about our
8:44
agreement I called her proposing a drink
8:47
that afternoon At the cafe she looked
8:49
nervous I got straight to the point Is
8:53
there anything you want to say she
8:55
whispered "I'm expecting a baby." My
8:59
eyes dropped to her loose dress hiding
9:01
her pregnancy Shock hit me "Does Tom
9:04
know?" I asked She said he ignored her
9:07
message We drove to a clinic for a DNA
9:10
test silent the whole way That night I
9:12
couldn't sleep dreading the results "The
9:14
clinic called The baby wasn't mine I sat
9:18
in my car for an hour crying overwhelmed
9:20
by sorrow I texted Amelia the results
9:23
with a photo of the test saying we were
9:25
done She called repeatedly but I blocked
9:27
her and our mutual friends I bought a
9:30
small house far away determined to leave
9:32
the past
9:33
behind Work and sports golf hiking kept
9:36
me grounded I started dating a great
9:39
woman enjoying weekends together but I'm
9:41
not ready for anything serious 7 months
9:43
later I'm healing I heard through my
9:46
parents that Amelia had a premature baby
9:48
girl with Down syndrome She's raising
9:50
her alone with her parents' help It
9:53
broke my heart but I can't go back The
9:57
pain of her betrayal and Jon's lingers
9:59
but I'm moving forward If you've been
