0:02
Wistaloom today I'm diving into a story
0:05
that's raw emotional and honestly a
0:08
roller coaster of heartbreak and healing
0:11
it's a tale of trust betrayal and the
0:13
messy path to finding closure so grab a
0:16
cozy drink settle in and let's get into
0:19
it picture this it's a bright sunny
0:22
Sunday and I'm cruising down the road in
0:25
my wife's car the windows cracked open
0:27
the breeze carrying the scent of
0:30
summer i'm on a simple mission to pick
0:33
up a couple of new lawn chairs for our
0:35
backyard to keep me company I've got the
0:38
radio tuned to NPR where this American
0:41
life is spinning its
0:42
magic the stories they're sharing are so
0:45
gripping that I'm hanging on to every
0:47
word completely absorbed as the world
0:49
outside blurs by then something catches
0:52
my ear
0:54
a book recommendation that sounds so
0:56
intriguing I have to write it down one
0:59
hand on the steering wheel I start
1:00
rumaging through the center console with
1:02
the other feeling around for a pen my
1:05
fingers brush past a jumble of forgotten
1:08
items a crumpled candy wrapper an old
1:11
Starbucks cup a stray quarter even a
1:13
folding comb I didn't know we owned but
1:16
then my hand lands on something
1:18
unexpected a small package of
1:20
contraceptives
1:21
my heart skips a beat i mean this isn't
1:24
something you expect to find in your
1:26
wife's car right the shock of it makes
1:29
my grip on the wheel slip for just a
1:31
second and I nearly veer off the road
1:34
time slows down like a movie playing in
1:36
slow
1:37
motion a red Toyota zips past me on the
1:40
left driven by a red-haired woman with a
1:43
glinting
1:44
earring i snap my focus back to the road
1:47
my mind racing the speedometer reads
1:50
34me and I notice dust particles settled
1:53
on the dashboard a quiet reminder of
1:55
time passing unnoticed i try to shake it
1:57
off telling myself there's got to be a
1:59
logical explanation maybe it's old or
2:02
maybe it's not what I think but as I
2:05
glance at the windshield I see crushed
2:07
beetles splattered across it evidence of
2:09
journeys long past i grab a CD case to
2:12
jot down the book title but its rough
2:15
edges scratch my wrist jolting me out of
2:17
my thoughts
2:18
in that moment a question hits me like a
2:21
freight train is this
2:23
mine that single question spirals into a
2:27
storm of doubts have I ever even thought
2:30
about infidelity before the idea feels
2:33
foreign messy like a puzzle with missing
2:36
pieces am I feeling guilty for
2:38
suspecting something scared of
2:40
uncovering a dark secret or worse am I
2:44
doubting myself wondering if I've done
2:46
something to cause this my mind is a
2:49
whirlwind but I know I can't ignore this
2:53
i need answers so I start searching the
2:56
car like a detective on a mission i
2:59
check the glove compartment the doors
3:02
under the seats even the trunk my hands
3:05
are shaking as I dig through every
3:07
corner hoping to find something anything
3:10
that explains this
3:12
finally under the passenger seat tucked
3:14
inside a plastic supermarket bag I find
3:17
it a small spiralbound notebook my pulse
3:21
races as I pull it out carefully
3:23
unwrapping it like it's a ticking time
3:24
bomb i open the notebook my breath
3:27
catching in my throat the first two
3:30
pages are blank which only heightens my
3:33
curiosity but as I flip further I find
3:36
lists cryptic handwritten lists one
3:39
entry is crossed out and it grabs my
3:42
attention immediately under normal
3:44
circumstances I might have brushed it
3:46
off as nothing but something about these
3:48
lists feels familiar i scan the pages
3:53
and a pattern emerges the dates match my
3:55
work trips that crossed out entry it's
3:59
the day I got sick and stayed home
4:00
unexpectedly my heart sinks as the
4:02
pieces start to fit together the
4:04
contraceptives the notebook the crossed
4:07
out date it's all pointing to something
4:09
I don't want to believe i think back to
4:12
the hotels I stayed at during my trips
4:15
holiday in Quality Inn Travel Lodge the
4:19
notebook seems to be a schedule and one
4:21
entry stands out a meeting planned for
4:23
the next day at 1:30 p.m at either the
4:26
Travel Lodge or Holiday Inn my stomach
4:29
churns this can't be real can it i try
4:33
to convince myself there's another
4:34
explanation but the evidence is staring
4:37
me in the face the truth hits me like a
4:39
ton of bricks my wife Sherry has been
4:42
having an
4:43
affair not just a one-time mistake but
4:46
an ongoing deliberate affair for 4
4:49
months the realization shatters me i
4:53
feel like I'm standing on the edge of a
4:54
cliff watching everything I thought I
4:57
knew about my life
4:59
crumble anger resentment and heartbreak
5:02
battle inside
5:03
me part of me wants to scream to
5:06
confront her right then and there but
5:09
another part the part that still loves
5:12
her can't bear the thought of letting go
5:15
i'm torn i want to believe there's a
5:18
mistake but the evidence is
5:21
undeniable i think about what she might
5:23
say when I confront her will she beg for
5:26
forgiveness saying "I'm sorry my love i
5:30
never wanted you to find out." or will
5:33
she turn it around blaming me for being
5:35
gone too often for suspecting her in the
5:38
first
5:38
place my mind spins with possibilities
5:42
each one more painful than the last and
5:45
then a thought so shocking it sends
5:48
chills down my
5:49
spine what if she's been with someone
5:51
close to me someone like my brother the
5:54
idea is too much i feel like I'm
5:57
drowning in a sea of betrayal
6:00
i carefully place the notebook and
6:01
contraceptives back where I found them
6:03
my hands trembling my face feels heavy
6:07
like gravity itself is pulling me down
6:09
with the weight of my
6:10
sadness i drive home my mind a fog of
6:14
confusion and pain that night I can
6:17
barely look at Sherry when she tries to
6:20
talk about a book she's reading I brush
6:22
her off claiming I'm stressed about work
6:25
i busy myself with dishes chores
6:27
anything to avoid her i wait until she's
6:29
asleep before I let myself collapse
6:31
under the weight of it all the next
6:33
morning I'm up early my resolve
6:35
hardening i need to know the truth i
6:38
drive to the old Holiday Inn a place
6:41
where guests can park right by the rooms
6:43
bypassing the lobby my plan is simple
6:45
but desperate i need to see who Sherry's
6:48
meeting i walk into the hotel and
6:50
approach the receptionist my heart
6:53
pounding i think my wife is meeting
6:55
someone here at 1:30 I say trying to
6:58
keep my voice
6:59
steady i suspect she's having an affair
7:02
and I just want to see the surveillance
7:03
footage the receptionist's face is
7:05
skeptical his tone polite but firm i'm
7:09
sorry sir but I can't grant you access
7:12
we're responsible for our guest's
7:13
privacy and I have no way to confirm
7:15
your
7:16
story i get it he's just doing his job
7:21
but I'm not giving up i've spent years
7:23
honing my negotiation skills finding
7:26
solutions that work for everyone so I
7:29
strike up a conversation with him
7:31
building a rapport i share just enough
7:33
about the notebook and contraceptives to
7:35
make my case and soon he sees it's
7:38
better for the hotel to let me watch the
7:40
monitors with him present than to risk
7:42
me causing a scene outside to sweeten
7:44
the deal I offer to buy us lunch from
7:46
Subway a tuna sub for me chicken with
7:49
bacon and ranch for him we sit together
7:52
eating sandwiches and watching local
7:53
news chatting like old friends he opens
7:56
up about his life his nephew's in prison
7:59
his dad's health is failing i share a
8:01
bit about my situation and we bond over
8:03
the struggle of sticking to diets he
8:05
tried Atkins i'm more of a eat what
8:07
feels right guy it's strange how quickly
8:10
you can connect with someone when you're
8:12
both just being real at exactly 1:25 p.m
8:15
I see her on the monitor sherry pulls
8:17
into the back entrance of the Holiday
8:19
Inn parking as far from the street as
8:22
possible she's on her phone her face
8:25
tense after the call she checks her
8:28
reflection in the rear view mirror
8:30
twirling a strand of hair
8:32
absent-mindedly then at 1:30 sharp a
8:35
sleek blue BMW pulls up a tall man with
8:38
brown hair steps out grabs a room key
8:41
and glances back at Sherry she steps out
8:44
of her car walks confidently toward him
8:46
and he wraps an arm around her waist as
8:48
they disappear into the
8:50
hotel my heart stops i know that man
8:54
it's Tom my best friend of 20 years the
8:58
guy who was my best man at our wedding
9:00
just as I was for his younger brother he
9:03
knew how much Sherry meant to me how
9:05
committed I was to our
9:07
marriage and yet here he is betraying me
9:10
in the worst way possible
9:13
the receptionist gives me a sympathetic
9:15
look but I barely notice i'm numb i
9:18
leave the hotel my mind a
9:21
blur i drive to a nearby golf course
9:24
where I start hitting balls each swing a
9:26
release of the rage and hurt building
9:28
inside me the four iron feels like an
9:31
extension of my body and for a fleeting
9:33
moment I find clarity in the rhythm of
9:35
the game feeling a surge of
9:38
determination I call Tom's wife Peg and
9:40
invite them to dinner at Cyros at 7 p.m
9:44
i leave a message for Sherry too telling
9:46
her to meet me there i want this
9:48
confrontation to happen face to
9:50
face when I get home Sherry's in the
9:53
shower her gym bag open on the floor i'm
9:56
tempted to dig through it but I
9:59
resist instead I call out that I'm
10:01
taking a shower too and we end up
10:04
sharing a moment of intimacy that feels
10:06
bittersweet her warmth her
10:09
passion it's all so familiar yet tainted
10:13
by what I know i cling to that moment
10:16
knowing it might be our last at Cyros
10:19
the four of us me Sherry Tom and Peg sit
10:22
together the air thick with tension i
10:25
can't hold back
10:26
anymore i ask "What would you do if your
10:30
best friend betrayed you or if your
10:32
spouse was having an affair with them
10:35
the table falls silent tom's face pales
10:38
and Peg's eyes narrow before anyone can
10:42
respond Peg's fist connects with Tom's
10:44
face a sharp crack echoing through the
10:47
restaurant time slows again and I savor
10:50
the moment watching Tom's usual charm
10:53
replaced by guilt i turn to Sherry my
10:56
voice steady but
10:57
heavy how should I respond to your
10:59
unfaithfulness
11:01
a fight or a
11:03
divorce she freezes her hand gripping
11:05
mine peg storms out and I calmly ask Tom
11:08
to cover the
11:09
bill come on I say to Sher and we leave
11:13
together in the car she's sobbing
11:15
apologizing over and over i'm sorry she
11:19
says her voice breaking are you sorry
11:21
you got caught i snap sorry you hurt me
11:25
sorry you ruined our marriage my anger
11:28
spills out and I can't stop it
11:31
when we pull up to her parents house I
11:33
tell her to get out she begs me to stay
11:36
but I drive away my heart
11:38
shattered back home I'm consumed by rage
11:42
i tear through Sherry's closet ripping
11:44
her clothes off hangers slicing them
11:46
with a kitchen
11:47
knife i throw our wedding album into the
11:50
fireplace watching it burn along with
11:52
her underwear the flames consume
11:55
everything just like my anger consumes
11:57
me
11:58
i collapse into an armchair watching a
12:01
football game until exhaustion takes
12:03
over the next morning I wake up to a
12:05
house that's eerily calm except for the
12:08
mess of torn clothes and charred
12:10
remnants i shower letting the water wash
12:13
away the memories of the night before i
12:16
call Tom and to my surprise he answers
12:20
apologizing
12:21
profusely he says it started as harmless
12:24
flirting at the mall but it spiraled out
12:26
of control he swears it was a mistake
12:29
but I'm done our friendship is over i
12:32
tell him "You're out of my
12:34
life." I hang up feeling a strange sense
12:38
of finality i head to Sherry's parents
12:41
house where her father greets me with a
12:43
heavy
12:43
sigh "she loves you you know," he says
12:47
calling her foolish but urging me to see
12:50
it as a mistake we can move
12:52
past inside I sit across from Sherry at
12:55
the kitchen table she looks broken her
12:58
eyes swollen from crying i take a deep
13:01
breath and lay it all out i'm filing for
13:04
divorce I say you betrayed me our
13:08
marriage everything but because I loved
13:10
you I'm giving you a chance to prove
13:12

13:19

13:29
times but I tell her I need space i take
