My Husband Said He Was Helping His Brother Fix the Roof After Work for Two Weeks – Then I Ran Into My SIL and Heard the Shocking Truth

When Rick claimed he was helping his brother Stuart with roof repairs every evening, I believed him. Stuart even backed the story, picking Rick up nightly. But at the grocery store, Stuart’s wife, Heather, revealed the lie: each man told his wife the other needed help with their roof. Suspicious, we followed them to The Haven Spa & Club, where they lounged with drinks, using Rick’s company-gifted membership meant for us. Furious, I moved my paycheck and savings to a new account, shifted all bills to Rick’s name, and took a two-week oceanfront vacation with Heather. I left a note for Rick to handle the house and kids. While he struggled with chores, we sipped piña coladas. Rick’s apologies went unanswered—he learned his lesson the hard way.
