My husband unexpectedly surprised me with a romantic dinner, but there was a terrible reason behind it

The betrayal a woman was served was too bitter a pill to swallow. She shared her story, full of twists, on Reddit, leaving many in disbelief of how cruel some individuals can be.

She starts her story by explaining that her husband, Simon, has been a man of few words. Possessing a rather cold demeanor, he never really did much to show his affection for his wife, and that is the reason she was totally surprised when she walked home one day and saw a perfectly set dinner table with delicious food and wine.

He stood there, waiting for her with a smile on his face, but what she didn’t know was that his smile held layers she had never seen before.

“Why all the fuss?” she asked, letting the surprise and delight wash over her, still a part of her lingering on the edge of suspicion.

“Can’t I do something nice for my wife without a reason?” he said jokingly, but it was obvious something troubled him.

The two had their meal and Simon was quiet as always, but deep down she knew there was more to this evening that seemed too good to be true. “That was one of the best meals I’ve ever had, Simon, thank you so much for doing this,” she said. However, realizing he was nervous, she caused her curiosity to peak. “Don’t mention it,” he added nervously.

As they were finishing their glasses of wine, she playfully suggested that he seemed to be buttering her up for something and asked if anything was going on. To her surprise, he hesitated before replying, gazing at the floor and avoiding her eyes.

It was then that a knot tightened in her stomach, a sinking feeling signaling that something was terribly wrong. “Seriously, what’s going on? You’re acting weird,” she insisted, her laughter giving way to worry.

“I… I’ve made a mistake,” Simon uttered quietly. “A mistake?” she asked.

What he had to say next crushed her world. With a shaking voice, Simon admitted he was seeing someone, and that someone was now pregnant with twins. He, however, insisted he didn’t plan any of it to take place.

As she struggled to gasp for air, he gave her yet another blow. The other woman was someone she knew.

“And I can’t hide who she is,” he continued cryptically, his voice a tremor of regret and fear. Then he whipped his phone out before making a call and said, “Come in.”

The door cracked open after a couple of minutes. It was her sister. Her husband and her sister!? She couldn’t believe her eyes. The two people she trusted the most stabbed her in the back.

“YOU???” she gasped after gathering her senses. “How could you both do this to me?”

Her husband and her sister both claimed they didn’t mean any of that to happen, yet there they were, expecting two children together.

The woman felt helpless. Her life turned upside down as she struggled to process her husband’s and sister’s betrayal.

Part of her hoped it was all just a bad dream. Her trust, once given freely, was ruined.

However, no matter how hard it was, she knew her worth. This wasn’t something she was willing to define who she was. She gathered all her strength and decided to move on, leaving those who hurt her behind.

MY LANDLORD RAISED MY RENT BECAUSE I GOT A PROMOTION—BIG MISTAKE MESSING WITH A SINGLE WORKING MOM OF THREE I’m a single mom of three—4, 7, and 11—and work full-time in logistics. We live in a modest two-bedroom rental. My kids share a room; I sleep on a pull-out couch. Not ideal, but it’s safe and close to school and work. Our landlord, Frank, thinks owning property makes him a genius. Ignores texts, delays repairs, and once said, “You should be grateful you’ve got a place at all with all those kids.” Still, I stayed. The rent kept creeping up, but it was manageable—until my promotion. After eight years of showing up early and never using sick days, I became operations manager. The raise wasn’t huge, but it meant I could finally say yes to little things for kids—field trips, cereal that isn’t store brand, shoes that fit. I posted a small LinkedIn update: “Proud to say I’ve been promoted to Operations Manager. Hard work pays off.” Two days later, I got this email: “Rental Adjustment Notice.” Frank was raising my rent by $500. No improvements. No reason. Just: “Saw your little promotion post—congrats! Figured now’s the perfect time to squeeze a bit more out of you.” I called him. “Why now?” His response: “You wanted a career and a bunch of kids—that comes with bills. You’re not broke anymore, so don’t expect charity. This is business, not a daycare.” Now, I could’ve gone to housing services. I could’ve called a lawyer. But I had a better idea. One that would cost me nothing… and teach Frank everything. I knew two things about Frank: 1. He was lazy. ⬇️⬇️ (Continues in comment)

MY PARENTS SAID SHE’S “TOO BIG” FOR ME—BUT THEY DON’T KNOW WHAT I’M ABOUT TO DO So here’s how the last Sunday dinner went down. I brought my fiancée, Mallory, over to meet my parents officially. She’s tall, broad-shouldered, platinum blonde, and yeah—she’s not a size two. But Mallory’s the warmest, sharpest, most loyal person I’ve ever met. She lights up every room she walks into, even if she doesn’t fit into whatever narrow box people expect. My mom barely smiled when she hugged her. My dad wouldn’t even look her in the eye. The whole meal felt like sitting on top of a powder keg. Then, as soon as Mallory stepped out to take a call, my mom leaned in like she couldn’t wait. She said, dead serious, “Honey… you sure you want to marry someone that big? You’re a small guy. It’s not a good match.” My dad chimed in, talking about “health” and how I’d “resent it later.” I felt like the table flipped upside down. I couldn’t even process it at first. I just stared at them, thinking about how Mallory always cooks for me when I’m stressed, how she pays attention to every little thing I like, how she’s the first person I’ve ever felt completely safe with. I didn’t argue. I didn’t defend her. I just said nothing. (continues in the first comment🗨️⬇️
