My Husband Gave His Ex a $10K Vacation — So I Gave Him a Surprise He’ll Never Forget

My husband Steve always acted like we were broke — at least when it came to me. Haircuts? “Optional.” Birthday flowers?

“They wilt.” Meanwhile, I paid the bills, bought the groceries, and kept the house running. Then one night, I found a paper receipt

in his coat pocket: $10,234. Luxury seaside resort. Two guests. Fourteen nights. He shrugged when I asked. “It’s for Mom and… her friend.

A gift. She’s turning seventy.”

His “friend” turned out to be none other than Lora his ex. I found out through her Instagram stories: matching white outfits, champagne

on the beach, and a caption that made my blood boil:
“Girls trip with my almost mother-in-law 💙 #blessed” The next post? “Thank you, Steve 💋” I didn’t cry. I didn’t scream.

I logged into his laptop and saw everything I needed: messages between him and his mom gushing over their ‘girls trip’ —

and trashing me in the process. He ended one message with:
“My two favorite girls. I’ll be there soon.”

So I made a decision. I withdrew $10K from our joint account the same amount he blew on them and used it to send my 22 students to summer camp.

Most of them couldn’t afford it. Now, every single one of them would go matching shirts, sleeping bags, and all.

Then I packed his clothes in trash bags, changed the locks, and left his toothbrush on the porch with a note taped to the door.

As I drove the bus full of kids toward camp, their laughter filled the van. I saw the lake peeking through the trees.

And for the first time in years, I felt something Steve never gave me: Peace.
