I found out my husband is cheating so I’m getting revenge… by catfishing his dad, he has no idea who he’s chatting up
THEY say revenge is a dish best served cold, and this woman has been playing the long game after she discovered her husband cheated on her.
The anonymous woman revealed she found out her husband of five years, who she's been best friends with "forever", cheated on her and then decided he wanted a divorce.
However, two months ago he changed his mind and came "crawling back" and the woman accepted his apology - at least that's what he thinks.
"Little does he know I’m saving 500 dollars on his dime every month to leave him eventually," she revealed on Reddit.
And it doesn't end with squirreling away cash, she said she's also been focusing on getting in shape "for my future person who will NEVER take me for granted."
But maybe the most shocking thing she's been doing to get her ultimate revenge is chatting up his dad as a catfish on Snapchat.

"His father is now cheating on his mother with the fake profile aka me, which I will be sending all the screenshots to his mother after I leave," she said.
She continued: "Normally I wouldn’t bring anyone else into this but his mother decided I was in the wrong for her son cheating on me. Won’t it be ironic?"
The revenge doesn't end there though, in a bid to make her husband really regret his decision to cheat, the woman also claimed she's also been in contact with their rental manager.
Because their house is in her name she said she's going to leave it in December the same week her husband is away on a trip so he'll return to an empty house with changed locks and all of his possessions in the skip.
The cherry on top?
"His dream car is in my name because I had better credit, but don’t worry I’ve already started the process of selling it and it will be towed to California that same week he’s on vacation," she said.
She concluded her plans and wrote: "I will never ever let anybody play me for a fool again, and I certainly won’t let someone cheat on me and leave me only to try to pick me as a second option later.
"Who said revenge isn’t sweet?"
But after sharing her revenge plan some people thought she might be taking it a bit too far.
One said: "I was side eyeing when you talking about the adding his dad on Snapchat bit until you mentioned how senseless his mother is to say it’s ur fault he cheated."
But the woman replied, noting that she doesn't feel bad about catfishing her father-in-law. "A lot of people don’t agree with my decision when it comes to his dad," she said.
"Unfortunately they knew about him cheating and said nothing to me, ironically he idolizes his parents and their “perfect” marriage."
Meanwhile, someone else praised her for commiting to leaving her cheating husband in the dust.
"Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned," they said.
"Good job. I wasted plenty of time on a loser and any advice for cheaters is dump them. I tried that as one after infidelity nonsense but those people are all broken and continue to be. I chose not to be them and good you aren’t either!"

"You should also look at how they place their phone down when not in use. If they face the phone with the screen facing down, then they could be hiding something."
They start telling you less about their day
When partners cheat they can start to avoid you, this could be down to them feeling guilty or because it makes it easier for them to lie to you.
"If you feel like your partner has suddenly begun to avoid you and they don't want to do things with you any more or they stop telling you about their day then this is another red flag."
"Partners often avoid their spouses or tell them less about their day because cheating can be tough, remembering all of your lies is impossible and it's an easy way to get caught out," says Aaron.
Their libido changes
Your partner's libido can change for a range of reasons so it may not be a sure sign of cheating but it can be a red flag according to Aaron.
Aaron says: "Cheaters often have less sex at home because they are cheating, but on occasions, they may also have more sex at home, this is because they feel guilty and use this increase in sex to hide their cheating. You may also find that your partner will start to introduce new things into your sex life that weren't there before."
They become negative towards you
Cheaters know that cheating is wrong and to them, it will feel good, this can cause tension and anxiety within themselves which they will need to justify.
"To get rid of the tension they feel inside they will try to convince themselves that you are the problem and they will become critical of you out of nowhere. Maybe you haven't walked the dog that day, put the dishes away or read a book to your children before bedtime. A small problem like this can now feel like a big deal and if you experience this your partner could be cheating," warns Aaron.
