My wife went on a business trip for two days every single month, and I started to get suspicious. But a private detective uncovered something I never imagined, which changed our lives.<\/p>\n

Victoria and I met when I was a college senior. She was an Art History professor at school and 10 years older than me. I asked her out many times, but she always said she wouldn\u2019t date a student. I couldn\u2019t let her go.<\/p>\n

She was the most beautiful woman in the world, and I wanted to get to know her. After graduation, I tried again, and Victoria finally accepted. I fell in love with her quickly but passionately, while Victoria loved me in a more reserved way. After a few months, I asked her to marry me, and she agreed.<\/p>\n

We had been together for seven years when I started to get suspicious of her monthly business trips. I understood that art teachers went to gallery openings and conferences all over the country. But every time Victoria returned, she was a little sad.<\/p>\n

I asked her about it, but she never gave me a straight answer. \u201cHoney, are you ok? What happened on that trip?\u201d I said tentatively.<\/p>\n

\u201cDon\u2019t worry about it, Dan. Traveling is just tough on me. I\u2019m not that young anymore,\u201d she said jokingly.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou are the most vibrant woman in the world. You can do anything. I can go with you next time if you want,\u201d I replied.<\/p>\n

\u201cNo, darling. You have to accumulate your PTO for our vacation. I won\u2019t give that up for anything!\u201d she said and smiled at me. We were planning a trip to Hawaii this summer, as we couldn\u2019t afford a honeymoon when we got married.<\/p>\n

\u201cAlright, Vicky. Just know that I\u2019m here for you,\u201d I added and hugged her. But Victoria was still pensive the rest of the night. I started to think that she might be seeing someone during those trips and was sad to return.<\/p>\n

I wanted to trust her, as she had never given me any indication that she wanted to date other people, but I was a paranoid man. Maybe she was tired of a younger man and looking for someone she had more in common with.<\/p>\n

A month later, she announced another trip and left. I couldn\u2019t contain myself anymore and hired a private detective to follow her. \u201cWhat exactly am I looking for, Mr. Powers?\u201d the detective asked me.<\/p>\n

\u201cDetective Parker, I just want to know if she\u2019s seeing another man. I think she might be cheating on me. Is that crazy?\u201d I asked.<\/p>\n

\u201cActually, no. Cheating spouses make up most of my business. Don\u2019t worry, I\u2019m an expert. Whatever she\u2019s hiding, I\u2019m going to find it!\u201d Detective Parker assured. I left his office and waited for his call.<\/p>\n

It came the following day. \u201cMr. Powers? I found what your wife is hiding, and she is, in fact, seeing another man\u2026\u201d he began.<\/p>\n

\u201cOh, no. I can\u2019t believe it,\u201d I said and tears welled in my eyes.<\/p>\n

\u201cWait a second, Mr. Powers, I\u2019m not done,\u201d the detective continued. \u201cYour wife has actually been visiting her ex-husband all these years, according to the logs.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat do you mean logs?\u201d I asked, confused.<\/p>\n

\u201cWell, the man is staying at a psychiatric hospital. Apparently, he had an episode before they got divorced and had to be hospitalized. I got a hold of his medical history, and it\u2019s unlikely that he\u2019ll ever get out,\u201d Detective Parker explained.<\/p>\n

I couldn\u2019t believe it. She never told me she was married before. The next day, Victoria got home and I told her everything. \u201c\u2026And you have to know that I\u2019m sorry I was paranoid. I tried to ask you, but I never found the right words to say,\u201d I said to her.<\/p>\n

\u201cDan, I should have told you about him sooner. I just\u2026our relationship was such a whirlwind. I never imagined I could fall in love again after what happened with my ex-husband,\u201d Victoria replied.<\/p>\n

\u201cSo, why do you visit him every month?\u201d I asked.<\/p>\n

\u201cI always felt so guilty. I couldn\u2019t stop what happened to him. Mental sicknesses are so taboo and so inexplicable. Even doctors don\u2019t get it. I thought I was a bad wife. I thought I should\u2019ve saved him or something,\u201d Victoria explained.<\/p>\n

\u201cNo, honey. You can\u2019t put that on yourself,\u201d I told her.<\/p>\n

\u201cI know. It has taken me years, but I accepted that it was not my fault and that there\u2019s nothing I could\u2019ve done either,\u201d she continued. \u201cBut I can\u2019t help but visit him. He doesn\u2019t have anyone, and sometimes, he recognizes me.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m sorry you were going through this alone,\u201d I comforted and hugged her.<\/p>\n

\u201cThank you for being so understanding,\u201d Victoria said, drying her tears.<\/p>\n

The next time she visited her ex-husband, I went with her for support. I stayed outside and gave her all the time in the world. All she needed was my support.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
