Accidentally labelled this a FR sorry!

Summary: 10 years ago a married man is caught with another woman, but not in the act at all. Wife threatens to divorce him and ruin his life and has pussy footed about for years since to the point hes the fattest he’s ever been, has no friends, and is miserable.

This is a true story.

So this man is married with two kids and he has been running businesses pretty much his whole life. Mainly in restaurants. His wife worked some government job.

Long story short, he was always out late, always having work meet ups, poker nights etc, until one day as far as I can remember he was caught out by his wife with another woman. In fact I once saw him driving with this other woman to which he denies to this day.

His wife went mental. “I’m going to kill you, I’m going to take you to the cleaners.” He slept in his car, In hotels it was a rough way to see them. It was a bad time for all involved. He denied till this very day he cheated.

Eventually over time…he came back home and she forgave him as best she could, but at a price.

“I want to look over all your phone bills, etc everything.” As she did, she watched his every move. To the point where she would grab his phone and see who he’s been talking to.

It got worse, she quit her job and got a job working at his restaurant. As a fucking waitress 3-4 nights a week. He hated it at first but grew to just accept it.

His entire life changed. Gone are the poker nights on Fridays, gone are the random nights out. His social circle died. Completely. His work and family dynamic changed. He was constantly watched and hawked by his wife at work and at home.

In terms of work and business he stagnated. He never expanded his portfolio, he never invested much. He kept himself to himself and never improved in the enormous fear his wife would take everything in divorce.

He was always slightly overweight, but the other day I was with him and he jumped on the scales. He’s on the verge of being obese. He has 35% bodyfat, and is miserable. So he’s fat, miserable, and just pottering on through life.

The reason why I care so much? This man is my father.

Seeing my dad so overweight, with hardly any friends anymore, no exciting projects for him to dabble in, no control over his life has depressed me. But inspired me to be nothing like him.

I work out and lose weight to show him how he should be.

I dabble in business investments to remind him how far hes fallen.

And I socialize with the right people to prove how friends are vital in life.

It’s a sad story, but its one we can all take away from in TRP.

EDIT: Never let a woman dictate or change your life.
