For 22 years now, this 45-year-old woman has been married to her 48-year-old husband, Brad, and they have three children together, who are 19, 17, and 16.
Throughout her entire marriage, she has been under the impression that she and Brad have a solid relationship.
Brad is hilarious and quite charming, and all of her friends think he’s one amazing man. That being said, Brad’s charm and attention-grabbing ways with women have gotten them into hot water.
Several years ago, Brad admitted to her that he was carrying on an emotional affair with one of his coworkers.
“They were getting lunch together and got really close,” she explained. “He ended things when she said she loved him and was going to leave her husband.”
“Brad claims they never slept together, but I couldn’t know for sure. I had some serious doubts, and it took a lot of therapy to get through that. We also moved states, and he got a new job because of it.”
Since then, it’s been smooth sailing for her and Brad, and she figured their not-so-happy past was well in the rearview mirror.
A week ago, she borrowed Brad’s computer with his permission so she could hop on a video call for a volunteer position she holds.
Brad even set everything up for her, so it was easy to use. While the meeting was going on, a website link was sent to her, but she accidentally closed out of it.

So, she went into Brad’s browser history to try to find the link again, and that’s when a particular website caught her eye.
This website is the kind of place where you can subscribe to women who create certain content, so of course, her curiosity got the best of her.
She clicked on that website link, which instantly brought her to their neighbor’s profile, and she could clearly see her husband had bought Steamy Photos from her and chatted with her too.
“From their messages, it’s clear she doesn’t know it’s him,” she said. “But he for sure has to know it’s her.”
“He tells her in detail what he would do to her. I had to go throw up in the bathroom after reading that.”
“I haven’t told Brad that I know. I’m not even sure how to bring it up. Or what I should do. Right now, I want to leave, but I am unsure if that’s an overreaction. I can’t sleep or eat. I’m not doing well.”
She also invested thirty minutes into calculating how much Money Brad spent on this special content from their neighbor, which was difficult to find out since he tried to hide it, and he also does all their finances.
However, she figured out that he spent $2,467.86 over the last six months. She admits that they are wealthy, but she’s still shocked by how much money Brad has doled out.
Do you think it’s worth it for her to confront Brad, or should she simply leave him and try to move on with her life?
