The woman’s world fell apart when she found out about her husband’s secret life, which she had not known about during their 15 years of marriage. A simple high school photo album that Theresa found in her husband’s things set off this painful realization. The woman wishes she had never touched this album in the first place, but it’s too late. The desperate wife and mother doesn’t know what to do now that she knows the truth.

Theresa wrote us a letter that made us cry. This 37-year-old woman used to be happily married and living her best life with her husband Tim and their two wonderful children. The woman wrote us a letter and told us her story. For a moment, we put ourselves in her shoes, and many of us admitted that we would feel hopeless in that kind of situation.
The woman wanted to hear from our readers who had been through a similar thing and were able to get over it. “My husband Tim and I have been happily married for 15 years,” Theresa began her letter. Tim and I met at a big party that a friend of ours threw for her birthday. We fell in love with each other right away. It was a very romantic and memorable start to our long and happy relationship.

Tim asked me to marry him after five months of dating, and I said yes right away because I was sure he was the only one for me and didn’t see any reason to wait. I wanted to start a family with this man, and I haven’t felt bad about my choice until recently.
It turned out that Theresa didn’t know everything about Tim.
She said, “From the beginning of our relationship, there were no secrets between me and Tim.” I thought that. With my husband, I told him everything about my past relationships, and he did the same. I thought I knew everything about his life. I felt safe, and Tim never got tired of telling me nice things about how I looked and how I was as a person, even after many years of being married. Before one day, I had no reason to be angry or jealous about anything. I was a happy wife and mother, and everything seemed solid.
The woman wrote, “When Tim and I first got married, we slept in the same bed. But when we had our first child and then our second in less than a year, we moved to a bigger house and started sleeping in different rooms.” We both had more privacy and better sleep because of this, which made our family happier, so yes, we both liked the separation to some degree.
I didn’t really get in the way of Tim’s “artistic mess” because he cleaned his room by himself. But one time, I changed the sheets in his room while he was away on a long business trip. When I got there and started to take off the sheets, I saw what looked like a book under his mattress. I took it out and saw that it was a photo album. All of the pictures in it were taken while Tim was in college. I had never seen this album before, so I began to look through the pictures out of genuine interest.
When Theresa looked through her husband’s old album, she found out something shocking.
It shocked Theresa to learn that many photos of Tim were with a pretty girl. It turned out that she was in his group, but their relationship was anything but friendly. Tim was passionately kissing and hugging her in every picture. This was upsetting for me because I had never heard of Tim having a relationship like this before, and he told me that while he was in college, he had no relationships and spent all of his time studying for his degree.
As I was about to close this album and move on, I thought that my husband could still keep some of his past relationships from me because they didn’t have any effect on our marriage or relationship. Then I saw a picture that shocked me to the core. It was the same girl from college, but there was a date on it, which meant it was taken not long ago. The girl looked ten years older, and she was holding a child. The most heartbreaking thing I learned was that the kid looked just like my husband. The kid did look a lot like our younger son, who looks just like his dad. I couldn’t say anything.
Theresa called the woman in the picture and told her the terrible truth.
She said, “On the back of one picture, I saw that Tim had written the names and phone numbers of his group members.” I also found the woman’s name and phone number.
It was a pleasure to talk to her after I called her and introduced myself. She didn’t seem surprised at all, like she was waiting for my call. We met at a small fast-food restaurant close to our house, and as soon as we said hello, she started telling me crazy things.
Because it turned out, Tim had been living two lives since the first day we met. He kept going out with her even though he was seeing me. Then he picked me to be his wife because it seemed like a “more practical decision” since this woman thought she couldn’t have children. I was healthy, so Tim chose me because I could be a mother.
These trips were not at all business trips that he had been taking. He stayed with her for weeks and then came back to me and pretended to have a happy family life. Then, she got pregnant, which no one thought would happen, and it was Tim’s son. During the 15 years we were married, their relationship never got worse; in fact, it only got stronger.
“I haven’t talked to my husband yet,” Theresa said. What woman said when I asked her to let me talk to Tim first was that she would not tell him that I know everything. I’m writing this letter to you while Tim is in his room, alone and in the dark. I don’t know what to do or how to live with this truth any longer. I do not know how to talk to Tim about this. What should I do?”
