I Caught Her With Another Man In Her Matrimonial Bed But Nothing Happened To Her Marriage

My fiancé has this friend called Isaac. The two men are quite close. Because of this I easily became friends with Isaac’s wife, Betty. We were always hanging out together, the four of us. We were quite protective of each other too. Ours was the kind of bond shared by family.......CONTINUE READING THE ARTICLE FROM THE SOURCE>>>>>

Now, Isaac travels a lot for work. A few months ago, he was away on another one of his trips when he called me to check up on Betty and the kids for him. “I have called all her numbers but I can’t reach her. Can you go to our place and see if she is there? I just need to know that she is fine.”

I also called Betty when I was on my way but couldn’t reach her. Even when I got to their house, I hadn’t heard from her. I pushed the gate and it opened easily. I concluded then that she was at home.

I started shouting, “BETTY! BETTY! BETTY,” as I entered the house. Lord knows what I would have seen if I hadn’t announced my presence in the house.

Even after all the noise I made, she couldn’t hide the man properly. She ran out of the bedroom to meet me in the living room but it was too late. I already saw the bare-chested man in boxer shorts she was entertaining in her matrimonial bed.

“Please, you can’t tell anyone what you saw here. It will ruin my life,” she begged.

I felt it wasn’t my place to get into her marriage in the first place. So I gave her my word that I would keep quiet about what I saw. However, I advised her to change her ways.

“If for some reason you are unhappy in your marriage, then leave. If you want to stay then don’t cheat. It’s not cool.”

She promised me she would stop seeing the guy and I did my best not to judge her.

A few months down the line, Isaac returned from one of his trips unexpectedly to meet Betty’s absence. She left their two children at home and went off to God knows where.

From what I was told, Isaac didn’t call her. Rather, he waited for her to get home. It was past 2:00 AM when she finally did. When he asked her where she went, my name came up. “You can ask Enyonam. I was at the wake-keeping with her,” she said in her defence.

The truth is, I was at a cousin’s funeral. My fiancé and Isaac knew of this. Betty had even promised to be present for me.

A day before I would leave for my family’s home, Betty called me. She said, “I can’t come there on Friday and sleep over because of the children. So I will be at the funeral on Saturday, is that okay?” The place is not far from where we lived so I told her it was fine.

I was at the wake, putting things in order for the funeral when I got a call from Isaac. Looking at the time, I guessed something was up with Betty. Without being told, I knew I would have to lie for her if I answered the call.

Truly, when I picked up the call, Isaac demanded to know if indeed, Betty was with me. “Yes, she was here throughout the night, helping me with some chores. I just asked her to return home to be with the children. Sorry if it caused any problems between you two.”

As soon as I explained, he calmed down and said it was alright.

When I met Betty in person, I asked her, “You promised me you would stop seeing that man so why was I covering up for you the other night? Where did you go?”

She said that the affair had dragged on longer than necessary. “It was supposed to be a one-night stand,” she confessed, “I was lonely because Isaac is always out of town. I just wanted to scratch an itch you know. I didn’t mean for it to get this far but it’s been two years now, and I still call him to take care of my needs when my husband is away on business trips.”

At the end of the conversation, she admitted that while she was still in love with her husband, she had also fallen in love with her lover. “I can’t choose one over the other,” she said, “they both make me happy.”

Well, if she said she was happy then how was it my place to rain on her parade? I decided to leave her alone and focus on my relationship. Nonetheless, I gave her some tips on how to navigate her affairs without getting caught.

“Whatever you do, don’t bring another man into your matrimonial home. It’s not cool.”

“Also. Make sure you use protection. You don’t know what the other man is doing out there.”

She nodded and said, “I hear you. I will be careful.”

Last month, I was at work when Isaac called me. I was very busy with work so I couldn’t pick up. When I checked my phone, I saw that he had called eight times. Betty’s calls also flooded my phone. It was a sure sign of trouble but the moment I saw my fiance’s call, I became anxious. I was still busy but I excused myself and called him back.

As soon as I said “Hello babe,” he responded, “How long have you and Betty been playing this game?”

I was stunned. First, I didn’t know what game Betty was caught playing. Secondly, if Betty is the one playing games, why am I getting called out for it? I opened my mouth to speak but ended up fumbling instead. Before I could get a word out, my fiancé hung up on me.

As for Issac, I didn’t have the guts to call him. It was Betty I called next. She told me, “My husband got hold of my phone and read our chats. So he knows everything.”

Isaac finding out about her affair still didn’t explain to me why I was in trouble. Then I went home after work and learned the truth when my fiancé told me to my face that I was a traitor. “I can’t believe you helped Betty cheat on her husband. How can I marry a woman of your calibre?”

I tried to explain my side of the story but my man was too angry to hear anything I had to say. It turned out that Betty was caught pants down in a hotel with a different man from the one I caught her with.

In a desperate attempt to save her skin, she confessed everything to her husband. She talked about all the men she had been with and even gave her phone to him as proof that she was telling the truth. She then went on to tell him that I was her coach on how to get away with cheating. Some of our chats were about the man I caught her with and how she should be careful. So it helped make her case.

My fiancé and I have bought almost all the items on the marriage list. When it comes to the white wedding too, we are almost done buying everything we need for the ceremony. Now my fiancé has broken things off because of Betty and her cheating ways.

As my relationship and incoming marriage have been crushed, she has managed to save herself. She involved her family, and pastor and salvaged her marriage. Of course, this was after a messy estrangement, and her husband had DNA tests done on the children. After all the back and forth, her rich and influential family played a huge role in reconciling them.

They are back together but somehow I am still the villain in their eyes. My fiancé said I should sell the stuff we bought for the marriage and keep the money. I understand that his mind is made up. I have accepted my fate even. But the thing is, I don’t want to walk away leaving the impression these two men have of me behind.

I want my ex-fiance and Isaac to know the entire truth, that I only accidentally stumbled upon the affair and kept it quiet. I need them to know that I did not coach Betty on how to cheat. I just didn’t want her to keep using me to cover her tracks, that’s why I told her to be careful.

I am not going to lie, I am hurt that Betty threw me under the bus in an attempt to save her marriage. See how it has cost me my relationship. Would it have been better if I had ratted her out to her husband when I caught her the first time? Whatever happened to us girls sticking together?

Anyway, since she decided not to protect me the way I protected her, I want her to pay. She was the one who allowed her lust to put her in a mess yet I am the one who lost everything. What can I do to make her feel my pain? I wish I could make her lose something as precious as what I lost.
