A Reddit user shared her heartbreaking story on the r/relationship_advice subreddit, detailing how she discovered her husband’s affair. The woman found expensive women’s glasses in her kitchen and, upon questioning her husband and eldest son, received lies about their ownership. The husband claimed he obtained them from their son’s backpack, and the son initially suggested they belonged to a friend named Alison.

Suspicious, the woman contacted Alison’s mother, who confirmed the glasses weren’t Alison’s. Further investigation revealed the glasses belonged to Noelle, a woman her husband had compared favorably to his wife. Confronting her husband, she learned he had lied to both her and Noelle, falsely claiming they were on the brink of separation.

The husband confessed he was unsure of his feelings and intended to determine his true emotions before revealing the affair to his wife. Feeling betrayed, the woman kicked him out, and Noelle also ended the relationship upon learning about the lies. The woman is now proceeding with divorce, maintaining communication only through lawyers.

The Reddit community expressed sympathy for the woman, condemning the husband’s deceitful actions. Redditors highlighted the importance of trust and communication in relationships, expressing support for the woman’s decision to end the marriage. Many advised seeking legal counsel and focusing on self-healing during the challenging process of divorce.
