My Wife’s Male Friend Comes over a Lot to Work with Her from Home, So I Installed Hidden Cameras in Our House
“No no no….boundaries are being crossed. It is not appropriate, and she knows it. Would she be okay if the situation was reversed?” asserted user FormerlyTipsy in the post’s most top-voted comment. While several people advised OP to look deeper into the matter, Redditor 4three2one- shed light on a worst-case scenario, suggesting:
“You should install cameras. He’s probably just leaving before you get home.”
OP’s Plan
After sifting through the helpful responses, OP grew suspicious that his wife’s ex might be visiting during the day and leaving before his return. In an attempt to unravel the mystery, he took a decisive step and installed hidden cameras in the living room and bedroom.
“The first day they were set up I saw nothing unusual. The second day was when it happened. The ex came over,” recalled OP. He saw them work for a while, after which the ex became “pretty touchy” with OP’s wife. Consequently, he witnessed intimate moments between them in the bedroom.
Experiencing a blend of shock, anger, and pain, OP confronted his wife once more, questioning if she had been involved with someone else. Predictably, she denied any such involvement. However, in a heated moment, he revealed the existence of the hidden cameras.
OP’s wife’s face turned pale as she grasped that he had discovered the truth. In a dramatic turn, she immediately burst into tears, attempting to conceal the extent of the situation.
Remaining resolute, OP insisted that his wife leave. As the moments passed, he came to the realization that divorce was the only viable option. However, his wife disagreed and suggested couples counseling as a last attempt before making a final decision. Despite his skepticism about its efficacy, OP reluctantly agreed but remained steadfast in his determination to consult with a divorce attorney.
