"Abandoned on Our Honeymoon: My Husband Left Me for My Mother-in-Law. Here's What Came Next."

taking a Slowpoke like you on a honeymoon wouldn't be any fun would it that's why I left you behind traveling with mom is hundreds of times more enjoyable I was dumbfounded by the words coming from my husband over the phone I had been looking forward to our honeymoon but next to him wasn't me it was his mother sorry dear could you just stay home this time don't worry we'll have fun the cheerful voice of his mother could be heard faintly through the phone I never imagined he would go on a trip with his mother and leave me at home collapsing under the weight of a situation I had never considered tears I had been holding back streamed down my cheeks along with the sadness a boiling anger surged up from within I couldn't forgive him I was going to make him regret this I immediately left the house and headed somewhere they can enjoy their trip for now they have no idea how costly their betrayal will be I am Kelly I work as an administrative assistant at the Metropolitan branch of a major corporation company a my husband Mike is a Salesman at the same Branch he's a kind man with a refreshing smile and we hit it off quickly before we knew it we were drawn to each other and got married after a company romance we've been married for a year we had our wedding but haven't gone on our honeymoon yet we spent a lot on the wedding so let let's save up a bit more before we go on our honeymoon I'm also worried about leaving mom alone but I promise we'll go so please wait he said my mother-in-law has been living alone since my father-in-law passed away a year before our wedding our condo was close to my in-law's house and since his father's death my husband frequently checked on his mother though A year had passed since she started living alone I understood my husband's concern for his mother a family member my mother-in-law hasn't been very welcoming to me since we first met and I'm honestly grateful that my husband actively checks on her plus it's true we spent a lot on the wedding I agreed with my husband's idea looking forward to our honeymoon while we saved up half a year into our marriage Mike was promoted to work at the headquarters in the city that marked the beginning of his increased workload he would leave early in the morning and come back right before I went to bed he often spent weekends sleeping off the week's fatigue even though we had saved enough for our honeymoon his busy schedule seemed to push it further away whether it was the stress of work or the life stage of being married his personality began to change after our marriage he used to be kind and always smiling but now his Expressions were unchanging and his attitude towards me was cold he used to be understanding when I came home late from work but now he would coldly say why isn't dinner ready or the laundry isn't folded mom used to fold it every day his behavior worsened after he started working at the headquarters each cold remark made me sad and though I acted fine at work my colleagues worried about my lack of energy I know being busy can make someone irritable there were days when his thoughtless comments upset me but I told myself it was just a phase for him I never talked back about his cold attitude deciding to wait patiently until his busy period was over despite these emotional distances his hard work paid off financially and at his suggestion we took out a loan and bought a new house it was the home of our dreams far from his mother's house when I asked if it was okay to move so far he reassured me with a smile seeing his smile made me worry less about his mother and the possibility of our honeymoon seemed brighter the new house was closer to the headquarters making his commute easier my commute got longer but if it lessened his burden I didn't mind though we had taken on a large debt with the loan we were ready to start our new life but then we faced a significant problem isn't this a wonderful house it's exciting to have a new home at this age my mother-in-law was at our new house I was dumb confounded why is my mother-in-law here I couldn't quite grasp what she meant by new house at her age why I asked confused as she was putting up flashy patterned curtains without asking well that's not a nice way to talk dear it's such a big house it' be a waste for just the two of you right I'll live here too besides living together means I could be close to Mike she answered with a smile I was speechless at her cheerful response looking closer I noticed belongings not from our condo mixed in they were her things brought over from her own home was she really planning to live here I broke into a cold sweat facing this unexpected situation I pulled my husband aside to confront him I never heard anything about living with your mother why would you decide this without asking me mom's alone now and it's more convenient than going back and forth to replace don't tell me Kelly you don't want to live with my mom she's family now just like you I couldn't argue back when he put it that way even though I wasn't keen on the idea now I understood what he meant by being okay with moving away from his parents house the discussions for living together had been happening behind my back what hurt the most was not being consulted about it and so our life as three began Mike was as busy as ever often not coming home on weekdays I ended up spending more time with my mother-in-law she monitored every aspect of my housekeeping delivering daily doses of sarcasm Kelly you should quit your job and focus on housework it's so neglected I can't stand it this way Mike can't properly relax at home if the laundry wasn't perfectly folded she made me redo it if there was a speck of dust left I'd get an earful even after after returning from work if the housework wasn't up to her standards she demanded I do it over again she didn't work or do any housework herself just criticized a minor displeasure would prompt her to say things like you're such a terrible housekeeper for a wife but Mike never stood up for me he blamed me saying it's your fault for being clumsy I considered quitting my job to dedicate myself to housekeeping but Mike insisted don't quit your job keep working to contribute a little to our finances after taking out a loan Mike became even more sensitive about money my salary went directly to him as a way to save and he managed all our finances I received a small allowance which had to cover all living expenses the little money left after that was my actual allowance there was hardly any money I could spend freely after a full day of work I was left to handle all the housework alone the constant criticism from both my husband and mother-in-law nearly brought me to tears by the time everything was done it was late and I was exhausted occasionally my parents or grandfather who lived with them would call I'd put on a brave face not wanting to worry them especially my grandfather's caring voice made me nearly confess how hard it was but I didn't want to add to their worries being newly married I man managed to say I'm managing all right despite the challenges I hoped that if I kept up my hard work at both my job and home they would eventually recognize my efforts even with my mother-in-law's sarcasm and my husband's cold glances I spared no effort to balance work and housekeeping during the Whirlwind of busy days months passed by quickly then during dinner with the three of us Mike said let's go on a honeymoon I was surprised by the sudden mention of a honeymoon something I thought I'd never hear from him again my mother-in-law smiled at me you haven't had your honeymoon yet have fun her tone was different from her usual nagging more like a mother sending off her daughter Mike who had been Stern for so long now looked softer it's our honeymoon after all let's enjoy it to the fullest how long had it been since I heard such kindness in his voice I was genuinely happy that he remembered and valued our honeymoon both my husband and my mother-in-law must have recognized all the hard work I had put in until now I finally felt rewarded Mike who had been unhelpful with household chores until now took the initiative to book the tickets and hotel our destination was abroad getting my passport for the first time all that was left was to pack and wait eagerly for the day of the trip staring at my and Mike's passports on the table numerous times a day I daydreamed about our long- awaited honeymoon then came the day of our honeymoon waking up in the morning an eerie silence greeted me Mike my husband who was supposed to be sleeping next to me was nowhere to be found thinking he might have woken up earlier I looked for him all over the house but couldn't find him anywhere I thought I might have gotten the date wrong but it was definitely the day of our trip my my mother-in-law who was always at home was also missing trying to call Mike and my mother-in-law I couldn't get through to either after hanging up I noticed that Mike's luggage which had been in the living room corner until yesterday and the passports on the table were missing except for mine in my mother-in-law's room there were several hangers without clothes on them and the atmosphere felt different than usual what was this situation on the day of our trip an unprecedented anxiety sent my heart racing a horrible suspicion crossed my mind could they have gone on the trip without me but I immediately dismissed the thought it seemed too cruel even for them this was our honeymoon we had waited a year for however eventually the flight time passed without any contact from them leaving me in a confused State for the rest of the day after repeatedly trying to call them I finally got through the next day at noon finally you answered where are you I've been so worried you haven't been answering your phone I blurted out loudly overwhelmed only for Mike to respond with a cheerful voice we're on an island down south with Mom hauh my mind went blank at Mike's words the southern island was the planned destination for our honeymoon and he was there with his mother my worst fears had been confirmed why it was supposed to be our honeymoon wasn't it go on a honeymoon with you as if taking a Slowpoke who can't even do household chores like you wouldn't be any fun that's why we left you behind it's hundreds of times more fun with Mom I was dumbfounded by the words coming from Mike over the phone he had promised to take me on a honeymoon after our wedding was the promise he made to me all lie sorry dear Mike was just being honest I've always always wanted to visit this country you just stay home okay don't worry we'll have fun I could hear my mother-in-law laughing through the phone overwhelmed by the situation I couldn't respond and the call abruptly ended what was all my effort for enduring Mike's cold attitude and my mother-in-law's sarcasm suppressing my own desires and doing my best at both housework and my job only to not even be acknowledged was I just a joke to them along the tears I had been holding back streamed down my face a boiling anger welled up from within at this terrible betrayal feelings I had kept bottled up seemed to burst forth all at once I couldn't forgive them I was going to make sure they regretted this immediately grabbing the suitcase I had prepared I opted for the train instead of a plane and headed back to my parents house my grandfather was there and he welcomed me warmly surprised by my unusual demeanor and the streaks of tears I confided everything about my married life and this honeymoon incident my grandfather listened intently and eventually nodded solemnly all right leave it to me he declared with determination the next day as Mike and my mother-in-law were enjoying the top tier Suite the hotel manager visited them I'm terribly sorry for the inconvenience but due to circumstances at our hotel the CEO of company I will be staying and we need you to vacate this room surprised by the sudden request to leave Mike reacted to the mention of company A's CEO Company a is where my husband and I work why would our CEO suddenly and why would they ask us to leave the room that's absurd yeah even if he is the CEO we were here first it's unacceptable to disrupt us like this despite being urged to leave my husband and mother-in-law refused then A call came through to my husband causing him confusion the call or ID showed my name annoyed my husband ignored the call several times but eventually answered due to the persistent ringing Kelly don't call me at a time like this that's why you're such a drag and a Slowpoke I've heard all about it from Kelly sounds like you've been quite the guest at her home what the CEO my husband's voice shrunk in Surprise why would the CEO be on Kelly's phone I'm Kelly's grandfather well her maternal grandfather you didn't realize did you the CEO is Kelly's grandfather my grandfather was indeed my maternal grandfather he hadn't been able to attend our wedding due to unavoidable circumstances and my husband was unaware that my grandfather is the CEO of company a the hotel where my my husband and mother-in-law were staying has deep ties with company a and they were able to book the sweet thanks to a priority arrangement with the company to make up for the inconvenience caused by their ejection my grandfather offered to cover the hotel's losses out of his own pocket insisting they vacate the suite considering I promoted you based on your work reputation to think you'd go on a honeymoon without your wife and with your mother instead what were you thinking my grandfather roared at my husband who trembled in fear I'm terribly sorry this is I mean excuses won't do get back here you fool my grandfather demanded unforgiving my husband had no room to argue standing next to my grandfather I calmly took the phone from him and told my husband clearly Mike I intend to divorce you divorce wait Kelly his voice shook with agitation I hung up without Mercy holding the fully filled out divorce papers in my hand Meanwhile my husband and mother-in-law who had hurriedly taken a flight were arguing disgracefully on the plane it's your fault isn't it saying kelly didn't need to come on the trip it's all because of you mom don't blame me you were the one who agreed with it Mike shut up don't talk to me right now their quarrel bothered other passengers and they were admonished by the flight attendance blaming each other they returned home to find my grandfather and me waiting in the new house despite their festive attire their faces had aged significantly in just a few days welcome back could you sign the divorce papers right away I showed the green papers to my husband offering him a pen he hesitated making an uncomfortable face and looked fearfully at my grandfather sitting next to me I deeply apologize for this trip you're apologizing to the wrong person first aren't you Mike my grandfather sternly corrected my husband's attempt to apologize first to him intimidated by my grandfather's presence my husband turned to face me again but couldn't meet my eyes Kelly I'm not looking for an apology just sign it I interrupted him without hearing his apology under my grandfather's watchful eye my husband begrudgingly signed the divorce papers my mother-in-law couldn't say anything snide to me and silently watched my husband sign this was the end of my relationship with my husband and mother-in-law as my husband finished signing my grandfather spoke up is that all the apology we're getting Mike what I looked at my grandfather curious about what he would say next what he revealed was shocking you've been having an affair with a female employee at the company haven't you I was speechless not having noticed my husband's Affair my grandfather explained that he had been covertly keeping an eye on me through his visits to various branches concerned about my dwindling Spirits after marriage he hired a detective to follow my husband uncovering the affair photos laid on the table showed my husband entering a hotel with another woman the reason my husband wasn't coming home until late or at all was because he was having an affair despite forcing me to work he freely spent money and even had an affair leaving me dumbfounded and speechless it's truly unfortunate we can't have someone like you in the main office prepare yourself for the consequences I'm so sorry please anything but a demotion my husband begged then turning to me with tears streaming down his face he apologized again Kelly I'm really sorry I apologize for everything up to now please say something to the CEO I did my best at work didn't I Mike never acknowledged my efforts did he why should I acknowledge Mike's hard work when he's been unfaithful at the company if you're so close to your mother that you go on a honeymoon with her why don't you ask her to sort it out no way I had no intention of listening to his request now as my husband was wallowing in despair my mother-in-law began to apologize I'm so sorry for what my foolish son has done he will never do such a thing again so please don't abandon my son she begged earnestly after watching them with a cold gaze I firmly told my husband and mother-in-law you were the first to abandon weren't you I will not listen to your requests please do not involve me in your lives ever again my mother-in-law turned pale my grandfather with a stern look nodded and stood up from the sofa leaving my husband and mother-in-law in the new house the curtain finally closed on this chapter afterward my husband was demoted to a subsidiary company placed near a window as a mere Figure Head his salary significantly decreased making it impossible to properly pay off our new House's mortgage rumors of his affair had already spread throughout the subsidiary and he was treated like an outcast by the EMP employees once an elite employee of the headquarters my husband couldn't fit in at the new workplace due to rumors and his pride leading to constant arguments with his boss and eventually being forced to resign my mother-in-law living with my husband started working part-time to contribute a little to the household struggling in her first job and having all the household chores I used to do dumped on her if she failed my husband scolded her and she would retaliate leading to endless arguments at home meanwhile I continued to work hard as I always did years after that incident I met a wonderful man at a new job location and we decided to get married we enjoyed our honeymoon after the wedding and his family warmly welcomed me leading to Happy Days filled
