r/Trueoffmychest My Wife's Affair Ruined 4 Marriages

Welcome to our slash true off my chest where op uncovers an affair that destroys like four or five different families our next Reddit post is from one top I'm a 34 year old male and my fiance Sarah is 28. we've known each other for about six years engaged for one year our wedding is scheduled to take place in just two weeks and I just witnessed something that is making me feel like I'm making the biggest mistake in my life tonight Sarah and I were taking a rare opportunity to relax at home Sarah was in the kitchen making dinner while I was out back working on one of my projects anyway as you do when you're doing heavy labor I got thirsty and came back to the house to get a drink where I see Sarah at the counter preparing dinner and talking on speakerphone I instantly recognize The Voice as my brother-in-law Marty now this is where my brain gets totally Twisted Marty asked my wife or my wife's sister Evelyn is and he's been trying to get in contact with her and she's not answering her texts I hear Sarah tell Marty she just left here she should be home in a half hour or so I should point out that Evelyn is Marty's wife of five years I have to admit that I didn't immediately register what she had just said because I went into the kitchen and grabbed a glass and asked Sarah what was that all about and she responded with Marty was looking for Evie I saw her texting and I asked her what are you doing and she said I'm texting Evie that Marty was looking for anyway I pour myself a drink sit down have a sip and then finally my brain starts to work first off I heard my wife Sarah tell Marty that her sister Evelyn was here but Evelyn was not here and the last time we saw her was yesterday when she came over to work on some last minute wedding decoration stuff with Sarah secondly why was my wife texting Evelyn and expecting a response when I distinctly heard Marty say that Evelyn wasn't answering her texts lastly why the hell would my wife tell Marty that Evelyn should be back in 30 minutes unless she either knows where she is then why did she lie or alternatively my wife is right now in front of me texting her sister to tell her to get her butt home quickly the only conclusion that I can come up with is that Sarah is lying to Marty about the whereabouts of her sister and is probably warning Evelyn that Marty will expect her home in half an hour I then spend probably the next five hours concocting various explanations for this Behavior some decent some downright horrible and playing them back in my head I went it really badly to ask Sarah about this but at the same time if what I think is going on is really going on then I doubted I'd get a straight answer which brings me to about one hour ago I woke up around 1am to use a toilet and I couldn't resist the urge to check Sarah's phone we both know each other's pins so it wasn't a difficult thing to do anyway I grabbed my phone retreated to the bathroom unlocked it and yup it was exactly what I was afraid of and probably what most of you were expecting Sarah's Sister Evelyn has been having an affair for about six months with a co-worker and Sarah has been helping Evelyn cover it up for that entire time there are literally hundreds of texts between them discussing it discussing the co-worker discussing passionate hugging really embarrassing things about my brother-in-law it's all just stuff that makes my stomach churn and here's my soon-to-be wife just going along with all of it without batting an eye I took some screenshots of the entire thread put the phone back where I found it and then retreated to my home office to find myself here typing it all out on Reddit simply so I can avoid the Primal scream that wants to come out of my mouth right now I am totally a hundred percent screwed Reddit I can't marry Sarah I just can't do it I can't think of any reasonable excuse that she could offer me about assisting her sister in this affair and victimizing not only Marty but their two-year-old daughter as well on the other hand myself my family Sarah and her family have all sunk an enormous amount of money into the wedding that is supposed to happen in around two weeks there is no way that we're getting any of that money back on top of that I feel like an absolute fool like how did I not know this woman was like this and what the hell am I gonna do I can't marry her I absolutely can't however I still want to she's beautiful and fun and kind and I thought that we had a bright future ahead of us Opie I gotta stop you right there kind you think she's kind does a kind person help a cheater cover up their Affair and ruin a family that has a two-year-old child in it no that's not kind at all okay anyways she's never done anything wrong to me but I just can't see her the same right now it's like a big black stain on an otherwise beautiful picture then a few hours later op posted an updates I got to work around 7am no one was in the office so I decided to start pulling off the Band-Aid and I called my brother he lives in Australia so he was still up after just having put the kids to bed it was hard breaking the news to him about this because I know that he's laid out a huge amount of money for flights for him and his family to come but to his credit as an older brother he didn't mention that one time and just backed me up he made a great Point too he said you work in a job where you have to deal with liars and scammers day in and day out I don't blame you for wanting to have a partner where this isn't a concern he was totally right about that and I get now why I was reacting so strongly to Sarah's participation in this deceit he also had a great idea he was just gonna fly up to visit anyways but instead of going to the wedding they would just go to Disney World Plus now my brother's kids would be accompanied by me their Uncle as well it should be easy since me and my wife were planning to Honeymoon in Florida as well well and we were planning on meeting up with them some anyways I'll just rebook everything to be closer to him and his family and I'll offer Sarah's ticket to either my sister or another family member then um then Opie post another update where he just says he's stressed and he also reveals that Marty is a teacher which is rough because the life of a teacher is already hard enough as it is and then another update turns out op left work early and he continues the update I got to Marty's house a little after 10 a.m he had just put his daughter down for a nap and we had a long frankly brutal talk in the kitchen basically he suspected this for a couple of months now but Evelyn has been very good at covering her tracks obviously with the assistance of my wife and a couple of their mutual friends unfortunately I don't have all six months of text messages just a couple of dozen screenshots that I sent to myself from Sarah's phone but I gave Marty what I have and I offered to help him however I could I'm a field analyst in insurance companies specializing in workers compensation fraud so I know a few things in a few people anyway I'm now working for my laptop in my almost brother-in-law's kitchen trying to salvage whatever I can I'm gonna have to talk to Sarah this evening and get the word out about the wedding as fast as I can to my friends and family now that I know that I won't screw Marty over so far I managed to rebook most of the honeymoon although I had a problem with the tickets because Sarah was flying under her maiden name and our carrier has a surname rule for those name changes anyway they did allow me to cancel and get a partial refund and rebook to my sister who will be accompanying her two brothers and nieces to Florida in a couple of weeks I am holding off on canceling the venues until after I talk to Sarah because I don't want to tip anyone off until Marty gets a chance to confront Evelyn but I will absolutely be letting my family and friends know this afternoon sometime and beg them to keep it close to their chests I'm basically in a frenzy right now canceling stuff that I can cancel and pretty soon I'm gonna have to head down to the bank to open up a new account and get my bills and pay sorted out a few people in the comments have warned me about separating my finances and I should be pretty good the mortgage is in my name since we're not married and I have the bigger income but Sarah did contribute about 20K towards a down payment compared to my 60k I'll probably have to pay her out that money and some portion of the mortgage payment for the last 16 months but it could be worse then op posted another update it's about 8 30 p.m right now and I'm writing this from my buddy's house my buddy's name is Mark Mark is a former co-worker of mine who's also in the same field of work for people who don't know what I do I'm basically a private detective my job is to investigate what we think might be fraudulent claims in regards to workers compensation anyways as I kinda hinted at Marty asked for my help in finding out who the other guy was that Evelyn was cheating on him with all we had had to go on was the guy's name Jake the first thing I did wasn't some major sleuthing it was basically just going through Linkedin trying to find a guy through Evelyn's connections but that brought up nothing which I thought was strange Marty had told me that Evelyn was supposed to go out for drinks tonight after work and that she wouldn't be home until around 9 or 10. I told him that I would help but that he needed to come with me I then contacted my buddy Mark explained the situation to him and had him agree to meet us later that day okay guys I've got to pause the story here and give out a clarifying detail Marty is op's brother-in-law Mark is op's friend I know that Marty and Mark are really similar names I don't know why Opie picked those names since everyone uses fake names in Reddit posts anyways but just keep that in mind because they're kind of similar Marty is the brother-in-law Mark is the friend the first thing we did was drive over to Marty's parents house so they could watch their granddaughter I don't know what Marty told his parents because I waited in the car after that we went to Evelyn's place of work it's one of those large commercial strip mall type centers with all these non-descript offices in a row and a large non-gated car park we drove around until we found Evelyn's car and then I had Marty unlock it with a second set of keys I then gave Marty a voice activated recorder and a GPS tracker to place in the car once done with that we left parked a bit down the street and waited for my friend to arrive and for Evelyn to leave the business Mark shows up about 20 minutes later hops in the car with us and around an hour after that Evelyn comes out of her office with two of her girlfriends and a tall younger looking man with sandy blonde hair ever Lynn and this guy are obviously holding hands and I'm like damn Evelyn you're making this easy for me I take a couple of pictures from the car and then wait for Evelyn to leave in hers and start tracking her at first I thought she might go right to a hotel or something but she didn't instead she drove to a reasonably nice bar slash Grill in a nice section of town and parked on the street I drove past her as she was getting out of her car and entering the establishment and then found my own parking spot and went over the plan first we sent my friend Mark in since no one knew him he had basically two jobs first try to get any compromising pictures he could of Evelyn and Jake and second to be my alibi Marty and I waited in the car for around 20 minutes until I got the first in the series of text messages from Mark they were pictures of Evelyn and Jake making out in front of their two female co-workers Marty's suspicions were right her friends were helping Evelyn hide the affair from him Marty was obviously very upset and angry evidently one of the co-workers is married and as a couple they're good friends with Marty and Evelyn both of them have toddlers around the same age oh my God this post is a train wreck you guys oh geez okay I asked Marty if that's enough for him but he says that he still really wants to know who the guy is I try to tell him that we can find out later but he's practically begging me at this point so I tell him to wait text Mark that I'm coming in and then I enter the bar myself the first thing I see is Evelyn and her crew laughing and drinking at one of those tall round tables near the front window as I enter I stop for a moment pretend to be surprised and then call out to Evelyn Evelyn hi what are you doing here she is obviously shocked to see me and everyone around her tenses up immediately Evelyn quickly introduces me as her sister's fiance and says that we're getting married in two weeks there's a lot of congratulations from everyone I thank them and then stick out my hand to the blonde guy and introduce myself with my full name hoping that he'll respond in kind he does and I'm a bit taken aback his name is not Jake I introduce myself to everyone else and then tell Evelyn that I'm here to meet a co-worker I wave to Mark and then I excuse myself once I get over to Mark I tell him the guy's name sorry uh I just gotta stop for a second one thing I really love about this story is how op Marty and Mark basically went full Batman mode the second these people found out that Marty was getting cheated on they all just grouped up I mean Marty and Mark haven't even met each other in their entire lives and Mark is like I got you bro anyways I tell Mark the guy's name and we both whip out our phones and go to work it doesn't take long for us to find him he's got social media profiles and a couple of court case judgments against them everything sort of falls into place when we find out that Jake is his middle name at this point I'm basically just grateful that Evelyn isn't cheating on Marty with two different co-workers turns out that Jake is 26 married and has a one-year-old daughter this just keeps getting better as in worse anyway I text Marty the guy's name and I decide that I want to push my luck and tell him to wait a few more minutes basically I'm playing babysitter here at the bar I am totally totally visible to Evelyn and her crew I can see out of the corner of my eye that no one is particularly happy about this and that my presence is really ruining the night this is good I let this go on for about 10 minutes and then I tell Marty to text Evelyn that he's spending the night at his parents house with their daughter it doesn't take long after that until I catch Evelyn taking out her phone showing it to Jake and then everyone deciding to pack up Evelyn comes over to me says good night and then asks me if Sarah and I want to come over for dinner this weekend I smile and say that sounds like a great idea and I wish her and her co-workers a good night Mark and I wait for them to leave then pay our bill and hurry back to Marty who's still waiting there's a bit of hesitation here because we don't know exactly what Evelyn was going to do like I half assume that she might have already booked a hotel room and was hitting there which would have made everything a lot more complicated and limited what I could do but it turns out that tonight was probably meant to be just drinks at the bar and it wasn't until Marty decided to spend the night at his parents that it turned into something more Evelyn made a beeline for home and we followed behind her out of sight and parked down the street it didn't take long after that until another car pulled into Marty's driveway and we saw Jake get out go up the door knock and be greeted by Evelyn they went inside together now at this point it's about 7 30 p.m and I have my own stuff to do tonight and I think that as a friend I've done pretty much all I can do for Marty and he can handle the rest himself I mean I feel bad for the guy definitely but I don't want to get any more involved in this drama than I already am and being the wingman for him while he confronts his cheating wife is a bit much for me considering my situation Marty says that it's fine he'll do the rest of it himself I guess Marty is more of a man than Evelyn thoughts he goes to Evelyn's car retrieves my gear and we bit each other goodbye that was almost two hours ago I did get it one text from Marty saying that it was done and that he was going to his parents house for real this time but my phone hasn't been blowing up so I don't know what's going on with Evelyn and I've been at Mark since then I think that basically concludes my part in Marty's story if he was smart and listened to my advice he was recording with his phone when he entered the house I'll find out later anyways my biggest priority now is to head home and tell Sarah that the wedding is off she's almost a hundred percent going to take it badly there's no way that she won't but like I said I just can't get married to her right now I don't know what the future holds for us or if we'll be done with each other or not but we're definitely not getting married anytime soon also for the people who keep saying why didn't you talk to your wife first why didn't you confront her and I have to say are you people stupid she's Stone Cold lied in front of me and her brother-in-law that she's known for about 10 years and who she purportedly thinks is a really great husband and father maybe you're naive enough to think that someone can lie that coldly to someone that they're supposed to care about and then tell you the truth but I'm just not wired that way until that moment I never had cause to even second-guess Sarah or to not trust her but she was literally untrustworthy in front of my face and I'm supposed to let it slide or expect her to be honest to me it would have been ridiculously easy for her to lie to me and then delete those text messages and if she had done that then I would have never read the horrible things she said never seen how she can be so duplicitous and two-faced and never realize how little I actually knew about her I'm gonna go home to talk to Sarah I'll post an update later I don't expect it to be a good one then Opie posted an update well I had the talk with Sarah last night it was pretty insane I'm honestly burnt out and still exhausted even though I took another sick day and slept in until almost a quarter to 11. I know that everyone is thirsty for updates but as much as it's therapy for me to write everything down I'm just absolutely drained and as you may have noticed I don't know how to be short just call it a character trait for my profession and the endless amount of details that I've had to put in reports that I've written long story short I came home to talk to Sarah about canceling the wedding and I found her comforting Evelyn on my couch I almost turned around and walked out but I didn't words were exchanged tears were shed people got really angry and the cops were called I collapsed and slept for like 10 hours and my phone is practically glowing from the heat of a bajillion unread messages and missed calls stuff is really up in the air I have a lot to do today my family already knew what was going on yesterday afternoon but I need to contact some friends today and get a move on other things then Opie posted another update I guess there's a lot to go over and so much has happened most of it if I'm honest hasn't been that great well it's actually been downright awful but I'll get to that first off I left Mark's house pretty late last night Sarah already knew that I was discussing business with Mark although she had no idea that the business was actually her sister's Affair but still it was getting to an unreasonable hour mostly because I was trying to get up the nerve to go home and face her after two or three pep talks remark I finally got off my butt and texted Sarah that I was coming home and left in my car as I said in the last update I was pretty surprised when I got there because when I walked into the house Evelyn was crying on the couch with Sarah I hadn't seen Evelyn's car in the driveway when I came home so it was probably the last thing I was expecting I froze for a moment and almost turned around and left this was not how I imagined this going down and I knew that Evelyn's presence was going to make a bad situation a million times worse still I had a timetable that I wanted to move on when I entered the room both Sarah and Evelyn looked up at me an acknowledgment but the Thai rate of accusations never came I just stared back raising my eyes in question the moment passed Evelyn went back to crying and Sarah went back to comforting while I just let it awkwardly hang in the air for a few seconds it seems that Marty hadn't mentioned my assistance in uncovering Evelyn's Affair so I decided to play dumb I took a seat on a recliner put down my laptop bag and took my phone out of my pocket I made it look like I was fidgeting with my phone and then asked them what's going on Evelyn just continued to cry but Sarah looked at me and said Marty is divorcing Evie what for I asked her Sarah stopped patting Evelyn's back for a moment and looked at me I could almost see her face twist and contort imagine the look of five-year-old makes when you tell them to eat their broccoli or finish their lima beans Evelyn shot Sarah a look that I didn't need to be a sister to understand and find finally Sarah said she cheated on him now I have to admit this response freaking floored me this was absolutely not what I was expecting sure the more cynical readers here might think well the cat was out of the bag so there's no point in hiding it and yeah that's true but it's also true that she could have just as easily feigned ignorance or even worded another way like Marty accused Evie of cheating instead of basically confirming it to my face Evelyn was not happy about this she kind of crumpled into the couch a bit and did the strange combination of a sigh and a sob at the same time I wanted to press on and go for the gold so to speak but I must have stammered a bit Sarah probably interpreted this as shock and well she would have been right in a sense just not how she assumed I asked did you know Sarah didn't say anything she just nodded her hand still rubbing her sister's shoulder I didn't hesitate and asked for the obvious follow-up how long the answer came back a lot easier than I thought it would six months I was shocked by how easily she admitted to it Evelyn was shocked as well she smacked her sister's hand off her and I think even Sarah was a little shocked at saying it out loud I leaned back in the recliner and rubbed my face time to tug the rest of the Band-Aid clear off I said we're not getting married there were two looks like stunned goats and a course of huh what from both sisters I stood up and repeated myself we're not getting married I can't marry someone who would cover up adultery especially not for six months Sarah spring off the couch and opened her arms the body language was you can't be serious but I just put my hands in front of myself I said I'm serious I don't like this not one bit I don't like that you took part in this and I can't get married to you with how I feel it would be a mistake the Waterworks started immediately and even Evelyn did that thing with her mouth that looks like a perch trying to suck air there were whales from Sarah accusations of not loving her appeals to my sense of Duty to the loss of money the inconvenience to all our friends the embarrassment of it all frankly it was all nothing I hadn't thought about but it definitely felt different hearing Sarah say it through body racking sobs it was at this point that I probably made a big mistake in an effort to convince Sarah of the finality of it all I said look I already canceled the honeymoon it's not happening I knew that it was a bomb the second it left my mouth and the explosion was near immediate Evelyn to her credit had always been pretty quick on the uptake which is probably how she had managed to fool her husband for so long I could almost see the realization Dawning on her when she put it all together with my appearance at the bar earlier in the evening she screamed you son of a b word and flew across the room at me now I'm not a huge guy but I'm no slouch either but the fourth that Evelyn flung herself at me had me staggering backwards and I barely had enough time to get my hands up before she started raking my face with her fingernails I almost lost the phone that I still had in my hand but I still managed to push her away and say very loudly Evelyn get off me Sarah get your sister under control Evelyn made another lunch for me but surprisingly Sarah did exactly what I asked her to and wrapped her arms around her sister's waist and held her in place I looked at Evelyn and yelled get out of here right now or I'm calling the cops holding up my phone for emphasis Sarah asked both of us to calm down she said to me op she doesn't have anywhere to go right now and Marty took her car keys that explained why there was no car in the driveway but I didn't care I was 100 through with Evelyn and I was going to make sure she knew it I marched into my home office locked the door and called the cops I told them I'd been attacked by my fiance's sister and I'd locked myself in my office that I was bleeding from my face and my vision was blurry and I feared for my life I I even told them that I'd recorded the entire altercation on my phone just as I was finishing up my phone call with the cops Sarah comes knocking on the door op please come out we need to talk about this please I love you don't do this we don't need to do this Evelyn sorry she wants to apologize I'm pretty sure that last one was a lie but Sarah was obviously losing her mind I didn't answer her and her attempts to cajole me out of the office ended probably right when the police walked up to our front door I could hear Sarah talking to them and I decided to come out I introduced myself to the cops and pointed at Evelyn I stated that she had attacked me and I offered to show the cops the recording I'd made the younger cop asked me if I wanted to press charges and I said yes he asked me again if I wanted to press charges I said Yes again at this point both cops looked at each other and I said yes damn it I want to press charges I have video evidence and this is going to court or else I'm going to call up your boss who I name dropped and ask him to come down here and do it himself I think they were pretty surprised that I knew his name not that we're friends or anything but given my line of work I spend plenty of time interfacing with local law enforcement and I've met most of the brass honestly at this point I was getting pretty hot under the collar and while I get what these guys were thinking I don't agree with it at all facts are facts sure I might not be bleeding on the floor but Evelyn assaulted me in my own home and I wanted her gone thankfully the situation didn't immediately escalate and the two officers handcuffed Evelyn and put her in the back of the patrol car she was squealing and crying like some sort of gibbering maniac the entire time Sarah wasn't much better she just kept going no please no over and over again at this point the younger cop circled back and asked us if everything was okay here I just told them I was going to bed he asked Sarah again and she didn't immediately answer so he goes is everything okay here man am it was clear what he was fishing for at this point I really dislike this cop but I bit my lip Sarah finally realized that the cop was addressing her and she just nodded at him obviously the cop wasn't satisfied with her answer and starts to talk to her again at which point I interject and say if you want to go on a fishing Expedition you might want to do it over there on the lawn where my doorbell camera isn't recording you at this point the cop's partner pulled him away carrying Evelyn away and hopefully out of my life forever okay the update continues and this story is already insanely long so I'll just summarize Opie spends the night and the next morning op's fiance is basically sucking up to op and asking them to give it another chance op refuses at which point Sarah accuses op of cheating because he was messaging some only fans model which Opie doesn't understand at all but eventually puts two and two together and realizes that when his brother was visiting from Australia his brother used the computer to message the only fans girl so so I guess that's another marriage that's potentially being ruined by this massive story anyways good luck op I'm not really sure I'm not really sure what I can add at this point because you've written so much I feel like everything's already been said already what's the what's the final death toll on this we have op's relationship with his girlfriend we have the sister-in-law's relationship with Marty we have potentially the co-workers relationship with her husband if it gets out to him that his wife was covering an affair and then we have op's brothers Affair coming out as well so basically just everyone in this story is cheating except for op that was our slash true off my chest and if you like this content check out my
