There is a very specific type of audacity that comes with being an affair partner. You would think that someone who actively participated in destroying a marriage would try to lay low and live a quiet life. But one woman on Reddit recently received the most unhinged message from her ex husband’s mistress. The sheer delusion of this message is going to leave you absolutely speechless, especially considering the platform it was sent on.
The story starts five years ago when the Original Poster found out her husband was cheating in the most cliché way imaginable. He accidentally sent a text message directly to her instead of his mistress. The marriage ended immediately, but the actual divorce proceedings remained surprisingly amicable. She told him she could not forgive him, he apologized, and they officially went their separate ways.
During their marriage, the husband had built up a very comfortable life and a small fortune. His assets included a company, three commercial properties, and a lake house. As part of the divorce settlement, the Original Poster rightfully received half of everything they owned together. She also became a silent partner in his company, which guarantees her financial returns twice a year.
Knowing he completely blew up their lives, the cheating husband also handed over their shared apartment and the entire lake house as an apology for his actions. The Original Poster was left incredibly financially secure. She genuinely does not even need to work anymore, but she continues to maintain her career simply because she loves what she does.
Fast forward five years. The ex husband is still dating the exact same woman he had the affair with. The Original Poster has maintained her distance and gracefully moved on. She does not even respond when her ex husband sends her a nostalgic text every single New Year to commemorate the day they first met. She has remained completely out of their lives for half a decade.
But peace never lasts when a mistress is involved. The affair partner recently decided to track the Original Poster down to pick a fight. Instead of using a normal social media platform to send a crazy message, she chose to reach out directly on LinkedIn. Choosing a professional networking site to start messy family drama is truly a chaotic choice.
The mistress had a massive bone to pick about her current relationship status. She revealed that she is pregnant with the ex husband’s baby. But the cheating man has explicitly told his new partner that he will absolutely never get married again. He also completely refuses to move in with her, blaming his previous costly divorce as the primary reason for keeping his distance.
Instead of holding the father of her child accountable for his own strict boundaries, the mistress decided to blame the ex wife. She accused the Original Poster of being a thief who took everything. She actually claimed the ex wife is maliciously stealing her new baby’s chances of having a normal family.
The mental gymnastics required to reach that conclusion are absolutely staggering. The mistress argued that because the Original Poster has a good job, she never actually needed the divorce settlement money in the first place. She accused the ex wife of selfishly taking advantage of a guilty man just to ruin his future.
Let us get one thing perfectly straight right now. The Original Poster did not take advantage of anyone. She took the exact legal half of the marital assets she was entitled to under the law. The extra properties were a voluntary parting gift from a man who knew he destroyed his own marriage. A wife is not a thief for taking her legal half of a shared estate.
Furthermore, the fact that the ex husband refuses to marry his mistress has absolutely nothing to do with his bank account. He is a wealthy business owner with multiple commercial properties. He is avoiding marriage and cohabitation because he simply does not want to commit to the woman he cheated with. He is using his past divorce as a convenient, untouchable excuse to keep his current girlfriend safely at arm’s length.
The internet collectively agreed that the Original Poster needs to immediately block this woman on LinkedIn and continue living her fabulous, drama free life. Responding would only drag her back into a messy situation that she officially exited five years ago. The mistress needs to take a long, hard look at her relationship and realize that when you build a house on a broken foundation, you cannot be surprised when the roof eventually caves in.
