My husband unexpectedly sent my sister-in-law and niece's belongings. Something surprising happens..

did the items for Jane and Hannah arrive starting today we're going to be supporting them my husband Bob declared triumphantly over the phone I was at a loss for words due to Bob's sudden declaration it seemed like Jane and Hannah were the only ones on his mind with no consideration for me I contemplated discarding such a husband yeah the stuff arrived and I just moved into a new place I responded in a deliberately cheerful tone a new place Place Bob muttered then seemed stunned my name is Caroline Smith and I recently turned 50 I work in sales at a major company and although the job comes with constant complaints and troubles from clients it's rewarding and enjoyable my only family is my husband Bob we don't have children and my parents passed away some time ago my parents-in-law live nearby but we aren't that close we have a casual relationship Bob loves dining out often taking his sister Jane along for many outings Jane's daughter Hannah always joins them in the early stages of our marriage I complained to Bob about him prioritizing Jane and her daughter over me however those feelings gradually faded I want to repay them for the struggles I caused during my student days after learning of Bob's sincere feelings I understood that my in-laws are impoverished living in a small rundown apartment it's incredibly cramped Bob diligently pursued his studies that he didn't pass his first choice State University only getting accepted into private ones his parents couldn't afford to pay so Jane who was working at the time helped with his tuition Bob seems grateful to Jane for supporting him during difficult times after Jane got married she quit her job to be a stay-at-home mom limiting her financial resources after hearing this story I stopped complaining understanding the reasons for wanting to give back I thought it best to let Bob do as he pleases despite a bit of loneliness I'm going to go out to eat with Jane and Hannah now Bob said Bob is going to dine out with Jane and her daughter today as well have a good time I said with a smile seeing him off letun continue to live supporting each other with Bob who values family that's what I thought however the rift in our relationship happened about 3 months ago one day Bob approached with a serious expression saying in fact Jane's getting a divorce she's decided to keep custody of Hannah when I heard Jane was divorcing I was honestly perplexed Jane was the type of person I found difficult to deal with going back to when I visited Bob's parents house before we got married Jane laughed ously at me saying Bob you're marrying her she's so plain and has bad taste Bob and his parents didn't say a word acting like they didn't notice so I had no choice but to endure Jane's rude Behavior as I remembered Bob's declaration I'm going to visit home every day for a while unlike you who's thick skinned Jane is delicate and I'm worried about Hannah too Bob disparaged me with a calm demeanor however I did not retort arguing with Bob here and then having him perpetually visit his parents house would also be a problem take care I couldn't say anything else and just saw Bob off from then on Bob spent more time away from home until now he often came home around 8:00 p.m. on weekdays but there were times when he didn't return even by the next morning he was almost never home on weekends and my loneliness just grew when I returned from work and called out there was no response at all and the room was pitch dark he must be at his parents house again with Bob's absence I often found myself downhearted however when Bob was home he began to annoy me more and more that day Bob was uncharacteristically at home but he made an unthinkable request of me Jane told me you haven't given a housewarming gift yet you're so stingy you're getting a bonus soon right buy her a designer bag or something Bob said as if I must do so a housewarming gift why do I have to give one why don't you do it Bob I responded in kind but Bob instantly got angry you married into this family so Jane's your family too isn't she don't you think it's ill-mannered not to even be able to do a simple thing like giving a gift to family Bob berated me the lecture from Bob went on for about an hour in the end he only said anyway just make sure to give Jane and Hannah a gift before leaving the house heun's likely gone to his parents house I've never received anything from Jane I murmured quietly a few days later I got a call from Jane hello you heard from Bob didn't you you really don't think things through normally you give a housewarming gift Jane stated as if she deserved it I got irritated at the selfish attitude so I retaliated you've never done anything for us either have you even at our wedding we didn't get a gift from you during the wedding Jane said with a smile we're family so we don't need a wedding gift right and handed over an empty gift envelope but there's nothing inside is there I asked even when I asked Jane put on an innocent face I did buy the envelope right I'm so nice aren't I Jane said with full confidence I was at a loss for words at Jane's utter lack of Common Sense and Jane had absolutely no restraint she heartily ate the wedding meal and drank several drinks outside of the course even when I handed Jane the catalog gift for the guests she complained aren't there any luxurious items if there were I could take home several Caroline you really don't think things through that was the outcome with her complaining like that remembering all that Jane replied with a scoff you're my brother's wife I don't need to give you anything do I you're the lowest in our family hierarchy rather it's only natural for you to honor me if you understand go buy a new designer bag quickly I was astounded at the way Jane spoke unable to say anything Hannah strikes up a conversation Caroline make sure you buy my bag too it has to be the one exclusive to the Fifth Avenue store or I won't forgive you bye Hannah laughing loudly with a hahaha hung up just like that unbelievable why am I the only one who has to endure this I heaved a big sigh after that bot just stopped coming home whenever he did come back he would take money from my wallet without any regard for my desperate attempts to stop him you're always at home so you're not going to use the money right I'll use it for something worthwhile be grateful waving a few bills Bob left the house I couldn't take this anymore I was becoming worn out from Bob's selfish actions then one day the doorbell rang and I opened the front door hello I said and someone who appeared to be a mover said is this the residence of Mr Bob Smith we'll start moving the stuff right away and began bringing a multitude of boxes into the house I hurriedly tried to stop him saying wait a minute we didn't order this however the Mover responded with a slight troubled look it's Mr Bob Smith's residence right we received a request directly from him perplexed by the mover's reply I immediately called Bob fortunately Bob answered right away in the background of the call I could hear the crude laughter of what seemed to be Jane and Hannah I confronted Bob there are movers here bringing box after box into our house what's going on then Bob said something completely unexpected oh did the stuff for Jane and Hannah arrive from today we're going to be supporting them I don't need your opinion got it Bob declared triumphantly over the phone in the background Jane started to speak welcome aboard since you don't have kids you must be thrilled to take care of our Hannah right be grateful Hannah voiced her displeasure with a tinge of offense what this old lady is going to be like a parent so embarrassing I can't tell my friends I I was at a loss for words due to Bob's sudden declaration surely the in-laws house must have become too cramped prompting Jane to plead with him our house is bigger and has spare rooms no doubt they were requested by Jane and Hannah who knew about this it seemed like Bob only had Jane and Hannah on his mind there was not a shred of consideration for me I might as well discard such a husband I made up my mind as I remained Silent Bob continue to issue orders additional baggage will arrive in a week I bought new furniture for Jane and Hannah online so make sure to get things sorted out we'll stay in our parents place until then we can't live in a room scattered with boxes Bob said so with a laugh hey isn't this too pitiful for Caroline she has to sort out our stuff all by herself Jane was also snickering it's our precious belongings handle them with care hand anah had the audacity to demand I wanted to hang up this call so badly all right I simply said that and immediately hung up the phone right after hanging up the phone I swiftly sprang into action a week later Bob called again did the additional baggage arrive did you teddy up the room properly Bob probably wants to know the current state of the house he seemed somewhat anxious unable to calm down so I smiled sweetly yep the stuff arrived and I just moved into a new place I responded in a deliberately cheerful tone ha a new place Bob muttered and then was stunned in fact on the day Jane and Hannah's belongings first arrived I promptly sprang into action and headed to a local real estate agent directly negotiating to find a place to live initially they declined stating it was impossible as most places require renovation before moving in or have Handover procedures meaning you can't move in on the same day however after checking with several agents I was introduced to a women only shared housing it came with automatic locks providing a safe environment for women to live in the bathroom toilet and kitchen were shared and electricity and gas were already set up allowing for immediate use additionally a cleaning service came regularly making it a well thought out housing option since it was furnished minimal luggage would not be a problem according to the real estate agent there was just one room available i' like to see the room right away I immediately requested from the agent they took me to view it straight away and just by taking one look inside the room I decided I'll take it when I shared this story Bob was visibly shaken even over the phone moving out on your own is utterly unreasonable isn't it we're a married couple apologize to me right now and come home Bob scolded me Jane perhaps shaken hysterically asked what's happening with our room Hannah to yelled angrily don't mess with us old hack when didn't rebut lob said as if he thought of something clever do you think it's okay to do such a selfish thing if we get the forced you'll be the one in trouble you know that's right with your age and looks you won't find another Suitor in the future right you're just a plain old lady your future is looking pretty bleak how pitiful sege you right Jane said sounding rather pleased in the background over the phone Hannah was laughing and saying the old lady's done for at that moment Bob said sounding smug if you apologize to us sincerely from now on I'll forgive you unlike you we're kind after all he snorted through his nose laughing in the background of the call Jane and Hannah were shouting in agreement so I decided to set the record straight actually Bob should be the one apologizing don't you think I know about the affair you're having Bob was visibly shaken the truth is Bob had been cheating for over 3 months The Other Woman was a colleague from his workplace how did you find out I thought I'd been utterly discreet Bob asked his voice trembling with fear he must have been so sure he wouldn't get caught so it wasn't surprising he reacted that way being the kind-hearted person that I am I decided to tell him I hired a private investigator just in case because you've hardly been home right I thought maybe you were cheating good thing I trusted my instincts and since Bob stayed silent I just kept on going I was shocked when the pi got back to me they finished the investigation in 3 days you were seeing her every day huh those meals out with Jane and Hannah were only on your days off it seems I said laughing according to the Pi's findings Bob had been gallivanting around with his mistress every day after work the money he'd likely been taking from my wallet must have been for her lob and his mistress were often close together making it easy for the pi to get good pictures I'm going to divorce you Bob and I'll be demanding Alam and of course from your colleague the mistress as well expect a certified letter at your office smirking at Bob after receiving the Pi's results I headed straight to a law firm even the lawyers seemed rather taken aback by the conclusive evidence I presented how dare you Bob spat out clearly irate when a certified letter arrives at the company even without opening it they'll probably have a pretty good idea of what's going on it's it's not just going to Bob but to his mistress at the same company surely everyone at the office will find out about their Affair hey Bob are you okay the situation has taken a dark turn and Jane sounded anxious Jane must have been planning to have Bob and me take care of life's tours for her intending to lead a leisurely life Jane has a long history of being a housewife and it's unlikely she can start working now Bob is the only one to rely on and it can't be helped I guess Bob what are you going to do I haven't worked a day since graduating from high school and there's no way I'm doing a part-time job now Hannah seems slightly troubled as well even when Jane and Hannah blame him Bob remains silent unable to say anything I delivered a further blow to Bob Bob you probably haven't saved any money have you it's said in the investigation report that you've been generously spending on your mistress even bought her the new designer handbag maybe you're in debt too I Dropped a Bomb and whether Bob is shaken up he can't find the words ignoring him Jane is yelling at him what you don't buy them for me but why did you get them for your mistress are you kidding me plus dead how much do you owe I hate you Bob even though I beged so much you never bought me anything Hannah also scolds Bob and high-pitched voice on the other side of the phone Jane and Hannah are noisily complaining Caroline I really am sorry so please handle these two somehow Bob pleaded with me in an exhausted voice but I have no intention of forgiving Bob why do you deal with it yourself I'm not involved and it's what you deserve better tell your mistress soon if you dilly dally a certified male will reach your company you know I said to Bob with a SM smirk damn Bob seemed frustrated ignoring such a Bob I spoke well then do your best and please give me plenty of alimony I humm the phone right there after hanging up there were several calls from Bob but I ignored them let Bob and Jane struggle as much as they want I muttered quietly and set Bob's contact to block incoming calls after that my divorce with Bob was finalized initially Bob resisted because there was dual income until now Bob could afford to live even while he just messed around with just Bob's income maintaining the lifestyle we've had until now is certainly not feasible it seems like Bob understands that which is why he doesn't want to divorce me however I have decisive evidence of Bob's infidelity ultimately I conveyed to him that I have absolutely no intention of reconciling and that I will take legal action if he doesn't agree to the divorce any longer with that Bob hanging his head down said I'll agree to the divorce and stamped the divorce papers so I demanded alamon from Bob and settlement for emotional damage from his partner the amount was determined while being informed about the going rate from my lawyer I believe it's a fair amount in fact Bob's partner paid it promptly apparently she borrowed it from her parents after explaining the situation however it was a steep amount for Bob can it be reduced even though he said that numerous times I ultimately rejected Bob's request during the meeting with our lawyers at the law office how about I add on the money you stole from my wallet I cheerfully asked Bob turned pale as a ghost that amount is fine in the end Bob trembling agreed after that both Bob and his partner resigned from their company the reason was that their Affair was exposed with within the company it seems that the delivery of a certified document brought attention to the relationship between the two even if the contents of the envelope were unknown an envelope from a divorce law office tends to be pretty self-explanatory one can generally guess what's inside eventually Bob resigned because things got uncomfortable being the subject of juicy gossip around the office perhaps he couldn't stand it after leaving the company Bob has been working day labor via an agency due to his age it seems he couldn't find another job right away the payments won't wait he has living expenses plus the installment payments of alamon to me and the mortgage still has a long way to go moreover the debts he likely incurred during his affair came to light life's probably going to be pretty tough I bet sometimes I get messages from Bob through the lawyer to me I was wrong please take me back I'm begging you I'm barely scraping by if I'd known this would happen I would have been nicer to Caroline Bob says reportedly weeping in front of the lawyer I think he's really backed into a corner but it's too late now and the situation for Jane and Hannah doesn't look good either currently they are living with Bob but since Bob has no money their living situation seems dire one day I got a message from Jane on my cell I had blocked Bob's number but I hadn't blocked James seems like that backfired wondering what she could possibly want now I answered the call hello and the moment I answered Jane begged me please help us we're living with Bob but he has no money and our electricity and gas are going to be shut off we don't even have anything left to eat Jane spoke in an exhausted voice I was surprised that their living situation had become so desperate but I had no intention of helping so I brushed Jane off coldly why do you work you're healthy are you Jane you used to work back in the day right then Hannah presumably next to Jane spoke up Caroline isn't that harsh you're working at a major company you wrangled money out of Bob and his affair partner so you must have some Financial leeway right so you have a duty to support mom and me if you tell us your address we'll come there take care of us Hannah apparently has no intention of working even now it's truly exasperating considering she's still young biting back a sigh I conveyed my stance now that I'm divorced from Bob I'm a complete stranger to you Hannah I have no intention of supporting you and I don't want anything more to do with you don't call me again as soon as I finished speaking Hannah shouted don't mess with me you old hag you should just quietly take care care of us tell us your address right now after that they kept shrieking for quite a while their characters will likely never change for the rest of their lives I have nothing to do with this anymore goodbye with that I hunt up the phone I immediately blocked Jane's number I never want to deal with them again in their current state they will likely face more hardship but it's their own laziness that brought this upon them I think it's fine if they continue to suffer a year later I decided to move out of the shared housing it's a bit sad to leave where I made friends the reason I'm leaving this fun and lively place is because I decided to adopt a dog I met the dog at an adoption event a dog loving friend invited me to and I went along that's where I had a destiny filed encounter while other dogs were being friendly with various people this dog was different it stared at me intently the moment our eyes met I I thought this dog might need me after that I attended the adoption events many times and deepened my bond with him after several visits joyfully I was allowed to adopt him however the shared housing doesn't allow pets so sadly I had to move out now I live in a petfriendly apartment dogs don't betray you and it's so cute when I call he runs towards me joyfully there will probably be various difficulties in the future but I'm not alone anymore I want to move forward facing forward supporting each other with this beloved dog
