My husband took his coworker to my cabin for “fake business trips” 😤 He didn’t know I had installed cameras there
Two years ago, I inherited my grandmother’s cabin, nestled by a quiet lake. It was always my peaceful childhood refuge. I don’t go there often anymore—it’s a four-hour drive—but it still feels sacred to me.
One day, my grandmother’s elderly neighbor called:
“There’s a strange man hanging around your house.”
Worried it might be a break-in, I had discreet cameras installed.
Two weeks later, while my husband Luke was supposedly away on a “business trip,” I got a motion alert from the cabin.
It was him.
And another woman.
In MY cabin.
She laughed while he called her “baby.” She lit one of MY candles. They curled up on MY grandmother’s couch, glasses of wine in hand, as if they were on a honeymoon.
I didn’t cry.
I started planning.
A week later, Luke came home looking exhausted from a “conference”… he never actually attended.
I stayed calm. Smiling.
Then I casually suggested:
“What if we went away for the weekend? Just the two of us. No phones. Just us. A real break.”
He lit up:
“Of course! We haven’t been there in forever.”
Oh, if only he knew…
Here’s what I planned for revenge—and how it left him literally speechless. ⬇️

I installed cameras in our cabin… and discovered the unthinkable
I never thought I’d need hidden cameras in my own home. But Luke’s frequent absences, his increasingly vague business trips, and that call from an old neighbor made me trust my instincts.
For seven years, I believed our marriage was strong. We shared plans, routines, laughter. But my job as a writer in Chicago kept me busy—and blinded me to what was really happening.
Two years ago, I inherited my grandmother’s lakefront cabin in northern Wisconsin. That place was my sanctuary, my legacy, my space. I had made it clear to Luke: he could go with me—but never alone.
Then came the call from Mr. Jensen, my grandmother’s neighbor. He said he saw a “strange man” at the property last weekend. Luke had claimed he was in Philadelphia. Something didn’t add up.
The next weekend, while Luke was “at a conference,” I drove to the cabin quietly. Inside, everything looked oddly perfect. A wine glass with lipstick. A long blond hair in the bathroom. It was clear another woman had been here. In my home.
I didn’t confront him. Instead, I bought a discreet camera system and installed it.
A few days later, a notification popped up on my phone. I opened the footage: Luke, walking in—with a blonde woman. He called her “baby,” held her hand, welcomed her in like it was their love nest.
I didn’t cry.
I acted.
A few mornings later, over breakfast, I smiled and said:
“Let’s spend the weekend at the cabin. No distractions. Just us.”
He hesitated, tried to dodge the idea. But I told him I had talked to his colleague—he had no travel planned. Caught off guard, he agreed.
Once at the cabin, I had him sit. I pressed play on the video. I watched his face fall apart. Before he could speak, I handed him an envelope: divorce papers.
“You have until Monday to sign, or I send this to your boss. And your girlfriend’s husband.”
He left without a word.
That evening, I sat alone on the dock, wrapped in my grandmother’s old blanket. The betrayal lingered in the air, but somehow, the cabin started to feel like mine again.
I didn’t feel rage or sadness. Just a deep, steady calm.
It wasn’t the house I saved.
It was me.
