After 13 years of marriage, a woman’s world is shaken when her husband demands a separation while planning a cross-country move. She uncovers a hidden connection with an old friend, leading to a startling revelation.

On February 3, 2024, an anonymous woman shared that her husband, once content, suddenly expressed job frustration and announced plans to move across the country. “Out of nowhere, he suggested a separation,” she recalled, “and went on a tirade about how terrible I am.” This outburst felt extreme given their history.

In the weeks that followed, she discovered her husband’s extensive communication with an old friend, a recently divorced woman. Their intense interaction totaled approximately 24,000 texts in just a month. This revelation received overwhelming online support, with many deeming her “NTA” (not the a**hole) for her actions.

Her husband expected to relocate the entire family, including their children and his mother. Reflecting on past sacrifices, she said, “Moving away from the kids’ school and friends, as well as my work and friends, is unconscionable.” The situation escalated when her husband’s supposed one-day interview turned into a four-day trip, revealing plans for a physical relationship.

When confronted, her husband admitted, “I’ve been unhappy for 15 years.” This left her questioning divorce and pursuing physical custody of their children. Online commenters supported her, saying, “He doesn’t get to upend everyone’s lives because he’s having an affair.” Another added, “Definitely file for divorce now before he leaves his job.”

What do you think about this story? Is the husband justified in his demands, or should she take a stand? How would you handle the situation?
