0:27
life felt like a dream come true
0:30
i met my wife Emma during our junior
0:32
year at college a buddy introduced us at
0:34
a campus party and the second I saw her
0:37
I was done for emma wasn't your
0:39
Hollywood bombshell but she had this
0:41
spark hazel eyes that lit up when she
0:44
laughed wavy chestnut hair just past her
0:46
shoulders and a smile that could stop
0:48
traffic she was maybe 5'4 petite but
0:52
with curves that caught my eye every
0:53
time i was hooked no question i knew
0:56
right then I had to make her mine we hit
0:58
it off like lightning started dating
1:01
spending every spare second together
1:04
a month in we had our first real
1:06
intimate moment and man it was like
1:08
fireworks unlike anything I'd ever felt
1:11
i was head over heels couldn't get
1:13
enough of her we weren't kids but the
1:16
way we clicked felt brand new every
1:18
moment with Emma was pure magic late
1:20
night talks about our dreams stealing
1:22
kisses in the rain bickering over who
1:24
got the last fry at our favorite diner
1:27
it was like we were in our own little
1:28
world and I never wanted to leave it
1:30
after college we tied the knot and moved
1:32
into a cozy condo in Seattle emma jumped
1:35
into real estate climbing the ranks at a
1:37
fancy firm while I landed a solid gig as
1:39
an engineer at an electronics company
1:42
life was good we worked hard saved up
1:44
and a few years later we bought our
1:46
dream house a big warm place with a huge
1:49
backyard for summer barbecues and a
1:51
treehouse for the kids we couldn't wait
1:53
to have those kids came soon enough our
1:56
daughter Ava who's eight now and our son
1:58
Liam who's six they were our everything
2:02
for 13 years I thought we had it all a
2:04
perfect marriage an awesome family a
2:07
future I'd never trade but you know how
2:09
you can get so wrapped up in the good
2:11
stuff that you missed the cracks forming
2:13
that was me living in this happy bubble
2:16
thinking nothing could touch us i never
2:19
saw the warning signs not until one day
2:21
when my whole world came crashing down
2:23
it was a regular Thursday just another
2:25
day at the office i was in a staff
2:27
meeting when my phone buzzed it was
2:29
Ava's school she'd gotten sick throwing
2:32
up in class and they needed someone to
2:34
pick her up they'd tried calling Emma
2:37
her cell her office but she wasn't
2:40
answering i figured she was probably out
2:43
showing a house or stuck in a client
2:44
meeting so I told my team I had to bolt
2:46
and headed to the school picked up Ava
2:50
who looked pale and miserable and
2:51
promised her some ice cream once she
2:53
felt better we headed home just me
2:55
trying to be the best dad I could when
2:57
we pulled into the garage my heart
2:59
stopped there was a car in my spot a
3:02
sleek gray sedan I'd never seen before
3:05
my stomach twisted like I'd swallowed a
3:06
brick something wasn't right i told Ava
3:10
to hang tight in the car for a minute
3:12
made up some dumb excuse about checking
3:14
for a gas leak she whined said she was
3:16
tired and just wanted her bed but I
3:18
promised I'd be quick i left her buckled
3:20
in and slipped inside my pulse hammering
3:22
in my ears the second I stepped into the
3:24
house I heard it noises coming from
3:27
upstairs from our bedroom low moans the
3:31
creek of the mattress my chest tightened
3:34
and for a split second I tried to
3:36
convince myself it was nothing maybe
3:38
Emma was home early watching some loud
3:40
movie but deep down I knew i crept up
3:44
the stairs each step feeling heavier
3:45
than the last until I reached the
3:47
bedroom door it was cracked open just
3:49
enough for me to see them Emma and her
3:51
boss David Harris he was a big shot at
3:54
her real estate firm married with three
3:56
kids and there they were tangled up in
3:59
our bed like I didn't even exist i
4:01
didn't barge in didn't yell or throw
4:03
punches even though every part of me
4:06
wanted to i just stood there frozen
4:09
watching my life fall apart
4:11
then I backed away quiet as a ghost and
4:14
got out of there took Ava to my mom's
4:16
place told her I had some work stuff to
4:18
handle mom didn't ask questions just
4:20
gave Ava a big hug and promised to take
4:23
care of her as I drove away my mind was
4:25
racing i wasn't just hurt I was pissed
4:28
and I wasn't going to let them get away
4:29
with it i called my buddy Ryan who
4:31
worked in the security division at my
4:33
company he's a tech genius always
4:35
tinkering with gadgets i spilled
4:37
everything my voice shaking as I laid it
4:39
all out ryan didn't judge just listened
4:43
then said he could help he had access to
4:45
these tiny wireless cameras and mics
4:47
high-tech like something out of a spy
4:49
flick motion activated crystal clear
4:52
footage easy to hide we met up the next
4:55
day and he handed me a bag full of gear
4:57
plus a voice activated recorder I could
4:59
slip under Emma's car seat to catch her
5:01
phone calls it would only pick up her
5:03
side but that was better than nothing
5:05
going home that night was like walking
5:06
into a minefield i had to act like
5:09
everything was normal like I didn't know
5:11
my wife was sneaking around with her
5:12
boss emma was in the kitchen cooking
5:15
dinner all smiles like nothing had
5:17
happened she hugged me asked about my
5:20
day and I just nodded said I wasn't
5:22
feeling great told her I'd sleep in the
5:24
guest room so I wouldn't get her sick it
5:27
wasn't a total lie i felt like garbage
5:29
just not the kind of sick she thought i
5:32
grabbed my stuff from our bedroom
5:34
avoiding that bed like it was cursed the
5:37
sheets were fresh the window open like
5:39
she'd tried to erase what went down but
5:42
I could still feel it like a stain on
5:44
the air for the next few weeks I played
5:46
the clueless husband went to work came
5:49
home kissed Emma on the cheek read
5:52
bedtime stories to Ava and Liam but
5:54
every night after the house was quiet
5:57
I'd lock myself in my home office and
5:58
check the footage and man it was worse
6:02
than I thought they weren't just hooking
6:04
up in our bedroom they used the kitchen
6:06
table where we have family dinners the
6:09
throw rug by the living room fireplace
6:11
that too i'd watched them laugh heard
6:14
Emma tell David he was better than me in
6:16
every way how he made her feel alive how
6:18
I was just boring it cut deep like a
6:22
punch I couldn't dodge but I didn't let
6:24
it break me i got to work canceled our
6:27
joint credit cards opened a new bank
6:28
account in my name and moved half our
6:30
savings over changed my life insurance
6:33
and 401k so Ava and Liam were the only
6:35
beneficiaries
6:37
i even met with the divorce lawyer a guy
6:39
who specialized in protecting dads he
6:42
warned me that since we were in a no
6:44
fault state Emma would likely get the
6:46
house and half our stuff even with proof
6:48
of her cheating but I told him I had a
6:51
plan to make sure she didn't walk away
6:52
unscathed that plan it was bold maybe a
6:56
little crazy i decided to put their
6:58
affair on blast literally i spent two
7:01
days making signs big ones with words
7:04
that had hit like a sledgehammer i
7:06
printed out photos from the footage 17
7:08
24in shots of Emma and David in the act
7:11
yeah it was messed up but I was done
7:13
playing nice my idea was to drag our bed
7:16
the kitchen table and that damn rug out
7:18
to the front lawn set them up like a
7:19
free yard sale and slap those signs and
7:21
photos right on them let the whole
7:23
neighborhood see what they'd done the
7:25
signs didn't hold back one above the bed
7:28
read "Free to a good home this bed reeks
7:31
of 6 months of infidelity take it if you
7:33
can handle the stench of broken vows."
7:36
Another by the table said "Used for
7:38
cheating right before family dinners
7:40
yours for free." The rug sign called it
7:43
their favorite spot for hooking up and
7:46
then there was the kicker a sign naming
7:48
David Harris married father of three as
7:51
Emma's lover i even wrote a letter to
7:53
David's wife Sarah with copies of the
7:56
photos letting her know what her husband
7:58
had been up to i wanted them both to
8:00
feel the weight of their choices
8:01
thursday was go time i knew Emma and
8:04
David would be at the house that
8:05
afternoon same as always they were
8:08
predictable sneaking around while I was
8:10
at work and the kids were at school i
8:12
took the day off parked down the street
8:14
where I could see the driveway but stay
8:15
hidden right on quue Emma's car pulled
8:18
in at 12:50 followed by David's sedan 5
8:21
minutes later i waited knowing they'd be
8:24
inside for a couple hours around 2:50
8:27
David peeled out and Emma left 10
8:29
minutes later touching up her lipstick
8:30
as she drove off that was my signal i
8:33
pulled into the garage heart pounding
8:35
but steady first I checked the footage
8:37
from that afternoon it was all there
8:40
every moment every word emma telling
8:43
David he was the best she'd ever had
8:45
them joking about how I'd never catch on
8:48
i saved it all to my hard drive then got
8:50
to work dragged the queen-sized mattress
8:52
off our bed half carried half slid it
8:55
downstairs through the hall and out to
8:57
the lawn tossed the slats and sheets out
9:00
there too piling them next to it then I
9:03
took apart the bed frame hauled the side
9:05
rails outside checked my watch 422
9:09
i had to move fast next was the kitchen
9:12
table it was light enough for me to
9:13
handle alone i angled it through the
9:15
door and set it on the grass beside the
9:17
bed last was the rug rolled it up
9:20
carried it out and dropped it with the
9:21
rest then I grabbed the signs from
9:24
inside set them up in front of each item
9:26
and stepped back to take it all in it
9:29
was 4:55 and I was done just in time I
9:32
stood in the middle of the street
9:34
looking at my setup the bed the table
9:36
the rug all the places I knew Emma and
9:39
David had used to betray me laid out for
9:41
the world to see the signs told the
9:44
story and those photos they left nothing
9:46
to the imagination neighbors started
9:48
poking their heads out some walking over
9:50
whispering to each other cars slowed
9:53
down drivers staring a few pulled out
9:55
their phones snapping pics or calling
9:57
friends i just stood there calm as could
10:01
be waiting for the main event at 5 sharp
10:04
Emma's car turned the corner she slowed
10:06
down probably wondering why there was a
10:08
crowd outside our house then she saw it
10:10
the furniture the signs the photos i was
10:14
standing in the front window and when
10:15
our eyes met her face went white as a
10:18
sheet i swear even with the window
10:21
between us and a crowd of 40 or 50
10:22
people outside I heard her scream "No oh
10:25
God no!" She looked like she'd been hit
10:28
by a bus tears streaming down her face
10:30
her hands shaking as she gripped the
10:32
steering wheel for a moment I felt a
10:34
pang of guilt but it passed she'd made
10:37
her choices and now she was facing the
10:39
consequences i turned away pulled the
10:41
curtain shut and went inside didn't need
10:44
to see the rest that night I got one
10:47
call from her phone but when I answered
10:49
it was just silence later the cops
10:51
showed up polite but firm said I had to
10:54
take down the signs and photos to avoid
10:56
charges for disturbing the peace i
10:58
nodded took them down they'd done their
11:01
job emma had seen them and from the look
11:04
on her face I knew her world was
11:06
crumbling the next day chaos erupted my
11:09
lawyer served Emma divorce papers at her
11:11
office word is she broke down right
11:14
there sobbing on the floor david got
11:16
served too and his firm didn't waste
11:18
time they fired him on the spot citing
11:20
some morality clause in their bylaws his
11:23
wife Sarah got my letter and the photos
11:26
she kicked him out filed for divorce the
11:28
next day emma's real estate career
11:30
tanked she's working as a receptionist
11:32
at a retirement home now david's been
11:35
bouncing around struggling to find work
11:37
nobody wants to hire a guy known for
11:39
wrecking marriages as for me I moved
11:41
into a condo nearby so Ava and Liam
11:43
could stay in their school district emma
11:45
got the house but we share custody the
11:48
kids know their mom and I split but I've
11:50
kept the ugly details from them they're
11:52
hurting and that's the part that kills
11:54
me ava told me Emma went on one date but
11:57
came home crying hasn't tried again
11:59
since
12:00
me i'm not ready to date either the idea
12:04
of trusting someone like that again it's
12:07
too much right now it's been over a year
12:09
since that day and I'm slowly piecing my
12:11
life back together the pain's still
12:13
there but it's duller now i focus on my
12:17
kids making sure they know they're loved
12:20
taking Ava to soccer practice helping
12:22
Liam with his science projects that's
12:24
what keeps me going i try to be there
12:27
for every school event every scraped
12:29
knee every bedtime story they're my
12:32
anchor you know my company settled with
12:34
me to avoid a lawsuit against David's
12:36
firm so money's not an issue i heard
12:38
Sarah's dating a cop now seems like a
12:40
decent guy good for her david I don't
12:44
know and I don't care emma and I are
12:46
civil for the kid's sake but that's it
12:48
no going back looking back revenge felt
12:50
good in the moment seeing Emma's face
12:53
knowing she couldn't hide anymore it was
12:55
like taking my power back but it didn't
12:57
fix what she broke my kids are the ones
13:00
paying the real price and that's
13:02
something I'll carry forever ava's been
13:04
quieter lately asking questions about
13:06
why we don't live together anymore liam
13:09
just clings to me a little tighter when
13:10
I drop him off if I could go back I'm
13:13
not sure I'd do it the same way maybe
13:15
I'd just walk away keep it quiet but in
13:18
that moment I needed her to feel what I
13:20
felt and she did so Wistloom fam what do

13:27
