MY HUSBAND CAUGHT ME CHEATING AND HE WAS STILL PLAYING AND LAUGHING WITH ME – ANONYMOUS WOMAN SHARES HER STORY
You know how they say some men go crazy when they catch their wives cheating? Mine didn’t. He laughed. I still can’t explain it, the calmness, the peace, the way he just kept smiling like nothing had happened.
It all started one Saturday evening. My husband had told me he would be traveling for work and wouldn’t be back until Monday. So, I made a stupid, life-changing decision. I invited someone over, someone I had no business seeing. We were watching a movie, then one thing led to another, when I suddenly heard my husband’s car outside. My whole body went cold.
He walked in, holding a nylon bag with roasted corn and pear,my favorite. His eyes went from me to the man beside me. For a few seconds, he just stood there. I was already trembling, trying to form words, but before I could say anything, he smiled.
“Ah, babe, you didn’t tell me we have a visitor,” he said, laughing lightly.
The man quickly stood up, mumbled something, and left. I was expecting shouting, insults, maybe even violence. But instead, my husband dropped the nylon on the table and said, “You better come and eat before it gets cold.”
That night, he didn’t bring it up. Not once. We sat on the balcony, ate the corn together, and talked about random things, movies, work, life. He teased me about how I always burn plantains whenever I try to fry them. He even made me laugh.
It was like he had decided, right there and then, that loving me was more important than being angry.
The next morning, he made breakfast, yam and egg sauce, and brought it to bed. When I tried to talk about what happened, he stopped me and said, “I know, babe. I know. But I also know I still love you. So let’s start over.”
And that was it. No drama. No cold treatment. Just a man who chose peace over pride.
Till today, I don’t know how he did it. But one thing I know for sure, that moment changed me. I realized love isn’t just about the good days; it’s about forgiveness, too.
