After 13 years of marriage, a woman’s world is turned upside down when her husband, amidst plans for a drastic cross-country move and a sudden demand for separation, harbors a secret that could change everything.

On February 3, 2024, an anonymous female poster shared a compelling story about her 13-year marriage taking a bewildering turn. Her husband, once seemingly content, suddenly expressed frustration with his current job and his plans to apply for a position across the country.
An unexpected and harsh suggestion quickly followed this announcement. “Out of nowhere, he suggested a separation,” the Original Poster (OP) recalled, “and went on a tirade about how terrible I am.” Despite their history of ups and downs, she found this outburst extreme and unfounded.

In the weeks that followed, OP discovered her husband’s extensive communication with an old friend, a recently divorced woman, who was instrumental in helping him secure this potential job opportunity. The intensity of their interaction was staggering, amounting to over 500 texts a day, totaling approximately 24,000 in just a month.
OP’s story received an overwhelming response online, with many people deeming her “NTA” for her actions and decisions in the face of her husband’s betrayal and plans.

The husband’s plan was clear: he expected to relocate the entire family, including their two elementary-aged children, his mother, and OP herself. This decision was not taken lightly by OP, who reflected on her past sacrifices, including relocating for his graduate school and his current job. She expressed her dismay, saying, “Moving away from the kids’ school and friends, as well as my work and friends, is unconscionable.”
