A woman wrote about her life on social media, stating that her marriage failed because of tickets she had placed inside an old jacket that belonged to her spouse.
Her marriage to her husband Eric seemed to be an endless adventure filled with excitement as they supported one other’s goals and desires while overcoming obstacles in life.
After welcoming their son Damian into their lives two years after getting married, everything felt ideal.
Eric was a wonderful parent. He was, in fact, the perfect parent that a child could ask for. The wife believed that there was a great deal of love in this family’s home.

After Eric was compelled to miss Damien’s birth due to work, their lives settled into a routine that was characterized by typical family life milestones. However, as Eric’s career took a turn that needed him to travel even more frequently than before, the home harmony started to fall apart. Eric and his spouse were first happy about the job advancement, but the new responsibilities took a toll on their family time.

Whenever Eric had to travel, he made sure it was for the benefit of the family, leaving his wife to juggle her profession and their son’s needs. However, she trusted him and thought he was acting in the family’s best interests because she was in love with him from the first day.
She clung to the hope that when this taxing period of nonstop travel was over, they would be able to make up for lost time and fortify their relationship, which seemed to deteriorate with distance.

Now, looking back, she was aware that Eric’s trips were just excuses for his double life. The discovery of the tickets not only exposed his betrayal but also cast doubt upon the very foundation of their marriage. What she believed was a partnership grounded in mutual respect and affection turned out to be nothing more than a web of lies and deceit.

One Saturday, while Damien was off to a playdate, the woman decided to spend the day cleaning around the house. She thought that going through the closet and getting rid of some old clothing she hadn’t worn for a long period of time would be a nice idea.
Among the piles of clothes, she noticed an old jacket that belonged to her husband. It was a piece of clothing that he adored, but it no longer fitted or suited his taste.
As she pulled the jacket out, a cloud of dust rose and two tickets feel out of the pockets.
Looking at them, she thought she stumbled upon some old receipts that would bring back more memories, but she was wrong.

When she examined them thoroughly, she realized they were from a flight taken some five years ago, or to be exact, at the time Damien was born. Her mind raced, grappling to reconcile Eric’s supposed business trip with the tangible evidence of a journey undertaken elsewhere.

The destination written on those tickets wasn’t one known for business meetings but it was more of a romantic getaway spot popular for its secluded beaches and intimate resorts. The name on the other ticket didn’t ring a bell. It wasn’t of someone she knew or of someone Eric ever mentioned to be working with. The name was that of the woman’s step-sister.
The revelation shook her to the core. What she discovered in the pockets of that old dusty jacket marked the beginning of the end of a marriage she once believed was a picture perfect one.
The sense of betrayal extended beyond his infidelity; it encompassed the profound realization that the life they had been living together was built on a foundation of lies.

She experienced a roller coaster of emotions; from anger and disbelief to a profound sense of loss. The question of how he could do such a thing with someone who was family haunted her.
The choice to leave without confronting her husband came from the urge to save her mental-health and her well-being. In the end of the day, she needed to be strong for her son.
She packed her belongings and decided to start fresh because she could no longer be part of her husband’s charade.

Seeking solace, she and her son found refuge in her father’s home. Her father, who was a pillar of strength and understanding, provide her with the stability she sought. She had all the time to think about her life and the next moves she needed to undertake without Eric by her side.
