In a letter to our editorial, the 38-year-old woman shared her heartbreaking story with us. She accidentally discovered the reason why her devoted husband kept his best friend a secret from her. A woman who has discovered a terrible reality is desperate and doesn’t know what to do. She wanted us to publish her story and wanted to hear what our readers think about her situation.
The woman led a typical life and her relationship flourished.
38-year-old Anna wrote to us to share her experiences, which could speak to many individuals who are happy in their relationships but fear that they will ever end them.
Anna began her letter by declaring that she had been married to Dylan for over ten years. They started dating when they were seventeen years old after first hooking up in the fourth grade. “I love my husband, Dylan is the whole package,” Anna admitted. Apart from being really educated, funny, and charming, he is also quite handsome.
I honestly thought I would spend the rest of my life with my husband who makes my life amazing.
In her letter, Anna spoke of their warm friendship with others, stating, “We attended the same schools from the time we met until college.” We both created our own social groups at the time. Dylan and his friends were always closer than I was, and as a result, I gradually assimilated into the group. I wasn’t invited to many of their group meetings during that time, but that didn’t really bother me.
“They don’t see these individuals nearly as often as I do, so it’s not my concern, so I didn’t make a big deal out of it,” Anna writes. Dylan had a best friend and Anna always found this person mysterious.
“Dylan met his best friend Kevin long before he met me,” Anna continues. I knew absolutely nothing about Kevin until recently. He didn’t come to our wedding, he didn’t go to any of our schools together, and I even thought he didn’t have any acquaintances in our social circle. I personally met him only three times, and he didn’t even come to our house to visit. Dylan once informed me that Kevin traveled a lot, so I assumed that everything was the way it was because of the unusual nature of his work.’
According to Anna, things were not easy between her and Kevin from the beginning.
Even though she didn’t see him very often, strange things seemed to happen between them. “Two years ago, Dylan and I attended a barbecue hosted by another couple in our group,” she elaborated. Kevin was present. At first, I was honestly surprised because I had no idea who he was. I had only met Kevin once before, but now I realize it was on purpose because he kept so far away from me. However, I have to say that this dude is quite attractive and has the makings of a supermodel.
“I tried to start a conversation with him, but he looked very nervous and after a few sentences he shut me down,” revealed Anna. The rest of our friends strangely shut me down when I mentioned his strange behavior and told me that it was just the way he was and that maybe I had done something to upset him. In short, no one would ever talk to me about Kevin. It was forbidden to discuss anything about him with anyone.
Anna also noticed that her husband was acting strangely. Anna revealed that she tried to discuss Kevin’s actions with Dylan. He had just told his wife that Kevin thought badly of her. “I was completely confused,” Anna remarked, “I hardly said or did anything to offend him so greatly.” Dylan’s reasoning was that Kevin didn’t like me because I was in a relationship with another person in college, which put my relationship with Dylan on hold. Dylan went on to say that Kevin was just too stubborn to accept it.
Although Anna was completely confused by the whole thing, she soon forgot about it – until one day.
“A few weeks ago, my husband mentioned that he was going fishing with one of his many cousins,” the writer said. That same evening I planned a small “girls-only” party at the house and invited our mutual acquaintances. One girl, Lily, was using social media while sitting in our lobby. Involuntarily, I looked over her shoulder and noticed a strange picture of Kevin.
He was in the hot tub with my husband. This picture was brand new when it was posted, maybe an hour before I saw it. When I asked Lily what was going on, she simply turned pale. I grabbed her phone and went to the profile that posted the weird photo, but she didn’t try to explain.
Anna learned the unpleasant truth about her husband’s acquaintance. Anna continues her account by stating, “Dylan owned the image that was posted on this profile.” I went through the posts on his private page and found that most of them were pictures of him and Kevin together.
Some imagined dating me alone, while others included the rest of our friends. In most of the photos, they were too intimate and touching, or engaged in activities that were too personal for friends to engage in. I felt awkward and froze. Dylan informed me that he was working late or just hanging out with his cousins some nights, but I wasn’t invited to any of those gatherings, based on the picture data.
Lily was asked to be honest with Anna. She and the rest of their friends were obviously aware of what was going on since she was staring at Anna with such desperation. Before Dylan and I got married, Anna claimed, “Kevin and Dylan were having an affair and they were both very active behind my back.” When Dylan and I took a month off from college, they started dating and have been together ever since. All our friends knew that, but none of them told me until I had to learn it the hard way.
“Kevin wasn’t at our wedding because he felt guilty,” Anna said. He avoided me like the plague for the same reason. I wasn’t in the group conversation everyone was having. As for Kevin, every member of the group completely agreed.
This man was merely hiding from me; he was never as far as I believed.
Dylan was hiding him from me because he didn’t like the idea of me finding out they were dating.
Anna stated, “I am writing this when my husband is not at home,” Anna ended her letter. I just can’t decide what to do. Dylan is such an incredible man and the perfect companion that I can’t imagine leaving him. However, I really hate competing against Kevin and am dying to think about it.
Here is a woman whose husband kept a really disturbing truth from her. But one day she managed to find out, and during the investigation, a tampon came in handy.
Anna’s letter to the editorial shares a deeply personal and harrowing experience of betrayal in her marriage. The revelation that her husband had been hiding a romantic relationship with his best friend Kevin for years shook her to the core.
