MY HUSBAND HAD BEEN SECRETLY TRANSFERRING MONEY FROM OUR JOINT ACCOUNT TO MY BEST FRIEND FOR MONTHS — I TAUGHT THEM A PERFECT LESSON

I was shopping for a jacket for our son on Eric’s laptop when I saw a notification: “$800 transfer successful – Claire R.” My best friend. I checked our joint account—hundreds, sometimes thousands, sent to her monthly for seven months. Then I found their messages: “I wish I was your wife,” Claire wrote. “I love you. I’ll take care of you,” Eric replied. They were having an affair, using our family’s money.

I stayed calm, pretended everything was normal, and planned my revenge. I tipped off Claire’s husband, Jake, about a “surprise” BBQ. Then I drained my share from our joint account and waited. Jake arrived, found Claire in a silk robe and Eric shirtless. Chaos erupted. I watched from afar, then went home to confront Eric. “You set me up!” he yelled. “I just corrected the balance,” I said, walking out.

The divorce was quick—I had all the evidence. Eric and Claire lost everything. I got custody of my son and a fresh start. They thought I’d break. Instead, I let them ruin themselves and walked away smiling.
