My husband sent me a message saying, “Don’t come back, it’s over, the girls don’t want to see you anymore.” This message surprised me, and what I discovered afterward left me speechless.

During my assignments abroad, my husband took care of our daughters. The last time, after three long missions, I had just gotten off the plane when I received this message. He wrote, “You can stay away, the girls don’t want to see you anymore, I’ve changed the locks, it’s over between us.”

I didn’t understand. I expected to receive a message asking how my flight went or maybe to discuss what time I’d be home, but instead, I got this. A cold, unexpected message with no explanation.

We had been together for 15 years, and never in my wildest dreams did I imagine such a breakup. Our relationship had always been quite harmonious.

After all these years, he had decided to divorce, and he didn’t even wait for me to come home to talk to me, to discuss what wasn’t going right.

Disappointed, surprised, I came back home, and what I discovered next left me speechless.

The rest of my story is in the article in the first comment .

When I came home, what I found shattered me.

Not only had he left me with no word, but by digging through his things, I found messages and clear evidence of his infidelity.

He had been cheating on me for months with another woman.

The betrayal was even more painful knowing that he had, all this time, acted as if everything was fine at home with our daughters, all while building a double life.

After this shock, I didn’t waste any time. I knew that my daughters and I needed stability.

So, I contacted a lawyer, and together, we started the process for custody of the children.

I wanted to make sure that despite his cheating and irresponsible behavior, he wouldn’t easily gain full custody.

The divorce and custody battle weren’t easy, but I knew there was no other choice.

For the sake of my daughters, and to finally turn the page. It was no longer just a matter of justice and protection.
