Overview
I Was Deceived for 5 Years of marriage.
I don’t even know how to start this, because my whole world just crumbled and I still feel like I’m in a nightmare I haven’t woken up from.
I’ve been married for five years. Five solid years of what I thought was love, loyalty, and sacrifice. My husband and I had a quiet wedding. Not too loud — just family and a few close friends. He told me his only sister couldn’t make it because she was in the UK, finishing her master’s program. I believed him. Why wouldn’t I? He spoke so fondly of her, even showed me her pictures. I looked forward to meeting her someday.
Fast forward to about a year into our marriage, he told me his sister was coming to stay with us for a while. According to him, she just returned from the UK and needed time to settle in. He said it with so much urgency, almost as if it was a matter of family emergency. I had no problem with it — family is family. She moved in, and I welcomed her with open arms.
Let me just say this: I treated her like my own bl00d. I gave her space in my home, cooked for her, laughed with her, and even shared some of my private moments with her. There were times I felt a little uncomfortable — like the way they would whisper when they thought I wasn’t listening, or how she always seemed to know things only a wife should know about a man. But I brushed it off. I thought, “Maybe they’re just close siblings.”
Until a few weeks ago…
