I Installed Hidden Cameras in My House – I Was So Disgusted by What I Saw That I Contemplated Revenge

A man related the tragic tale of how his 20-year marriage fell apart. Despite his heartbreak, the husband took his time to plan his wife’s retaliation.
A man used Reddit to discuss how he planned to exact revenge on his spouse. The father of two had previously posted a narrative on Reddit about his wife letting her pet rabbit outside the yard after he had told her to release it into the bushes.

It transpired that their little children, who were only four and five years old, witnessed a hawk steal the bunny. The event made the kids afraid, and it damaged their bond with their mother.

The kids, according to the Redditor, would refer to his wife as a “Bunny Killer.” The husband eventually admitted what he had written about his wife on Reddit, which had infuriated her. But eventually, she came to acknowledge that her husband was right and that she was in error.

According to the Original Poster (OP), he would reprimand the children for calling their mother the derogatory name and sought to encourage them to be kinder to her. But it came back every time they were upset with her.
Following their apology, OP recommended that the couple seek counseling from a marriage counselor; however, his wife vehemently maintained that their marriage was OK. The Redditor made the decision not to press the issue because they were getting along.

But their marital joy did not continue for very long. The oldest child of the OP approached him and told him she wasn’t just upset with her mother because of the bunny incident. The girl was afraid to confide in her father, but after receiving a lot of comfort, she disclosed that a man had been visiting the home on the weekends while the OP was at work.
The mother called the man her “special friend” and used some rewards to get the kids to stay quiet. Then, the OP saw several oddities in his wife’s conduct. It occurred to him that she was angrier than normal.

She would strike out at him, disparaging his looks, personality, and family, and then she would shut herself in the bedroom so that everyone could hear her sobs.

The OP noticed that his wife’s conduct had changed from when she was pregnant with their children, but he also thought that the affair might have had a significant role in these changes.
The OP then went to work and placed camera orders. He put them all throughout the house, and at one point he wondered if he was going too far. If he was mistaken about his wife, he reasoned, he could quietly take them down without anyone finding out.

But in the end, he had to face his greatest fears. After the cameras were installed, he had sufficient proof of his wife’s adultery within a week. He learned that his wife had mentored a former colleague who was the partner in her affair. He was roughly ten years younger than the wife of the OP.
The mother of two had left her career to take on the role of housewife, per her husband’s agreement, but she continued to have a close relationship with her coworker. The Redditor went one step further and obtained a GPS tracker, which he concealed in his spouse’s vehicle.
After the OP confided in his sister, she acknowledged that she had suspicions about the scenario already. Therefore, the sister and her spouse were more than happy to assist the original poster in solving the mystery.

Following the GPS, they saw that the wife left her usual hangout spot with her friends and that she had made her way to see her affair partner. The woman was watched by the OP’s sister and brother-in-law, who noticed the man massaging her stomach.

When the OP viewed the tape, he became enraged and began planning a retaliation scheme. He informed his wife he was going on a work trip, but this was a lie. The wife had the ideal chance to invite her lover over when his sister consented to watch the children.
The wife called the man over a few hours after the OP departed. The Redditor heard the two talking about the baby they were expecting as he listened and observed through his covert cameras.

The things that most enraged him were the disparaging remarks made by his spouse, who claimed he was an elderly guy and that the only reason she was with him was because he was well-off. Even still, the wife acknowledged that this was not her first relationship.

When her lover inquired about her plans for the children she had with her husband, she replied, “He can have them!” The mother was more thrilled about her “Do-over-baby” and thought her kids liked her spouse more.

The Reddit user was agitated. He was certain that the woman he had fallen in love with two decades prior was not the same. However, he could no longer envision himself living with her after learning what she had to say about him and the children. He replied, “I was so disgusted.”
The original poster went to a law firm and requested the most ruthless attorney. Making ensuring his wife gained nothing from the divorce was his way of exacting retribution. When he showed the lawyer the video of his wife cheating, the lawyer was initially dubious of his strategies but eventually came around.

His wife received divorce papers a few weeks later. The local sheriff brought them into her possession. When the wife opened the letter, she appeared terrified and was astounded by what she saw. Enraged, she attempted to jeopardize her husband’s career and standing. She argued with him for a long time before storming away and locking herself in the bedroom once more.

The Redditor could witness his wife call the police because to the cameras he had previously set. On the phone, she sounded like a crazy person, but it was all staged. He had been striking her, she told them, and the Redditor heard.
However, the husband waited for the cops to arrive calmly since he had proof. They were prepared to attack the OP when they got there, but they changed their minds and decided to arrest the wife after he showed them the tape and they saw that she had no physical marks.

The OP was shocked that the person he had previously loved would go to such lengths to harm him as the woman began sobbing uncontrollably. After their affair, the wife went back to the house to get the remaining items in her possession.

Even after one of the kids cried out for mom, the mother did not offer the kids any attention when they returned home while she was packing. She grabbed her and the OP’s photos off the wall and tossed them to the ground as she was leaving.
The OP was grateful that his children were both his after all of that and had them undergo DNA testing. The Redditor had too much evidence to lose, despite his wife’s attempts to drag out the divorce. In the end, the father was granted complete possession and custody of their home.

The automobile he purchased her was the only item the wife took with her. After the divorce, the woman and his affair partner moved out, and the OP was overjoyed to be free.
