Angela and Mark had been married for 15 years and were very happy together. Angela thought their marriage was very strong. Since she was in love from the start, she didn’t pay attention to warning signs, especially when it came to money. She said, “I make a good living, and my parents do well with their business.” Angela didn’t think twice when Mark, a bank customer service rep, asked for a set amount of $1,500 a month for his own needs. She agreed because she loved and trusted him.

Mark’s 15th wedding anniversary was that day, and Angela came home early to surprise him. She heard him talking to his best friend in the kitchen. Mark’s friend told him he had a “successful marriage.” Mark replied, “Yes, I don’t need to worry about anything, even giving Pamela money.” Angela felt very sick when she heard this. She let them know she was there, which made Mark and his friend tell her everything.

Mark told her he had been seeing a woman named Pamela during their 15-year marriage. She told him, “He married me because my parents were rich, and he asked me to give Pamela money.” Angela was crushed when she found out that Mark had only stayed with her for the money and had never really loved her. She was broken up by the betrayal.

After two weeks, Angela made up her mind. They got a divorce and made plans for how to get back at him. She knew Mark had been saving a lot of money—about $700K—so she took it all out of his safe and gave it to charity. “In my last letter to him, I told him that I gave his savings to kids who didn’t have parents,” she wrote. This helped her feel better about what she did and get over being betrayed.

As of right now, Angela is almost divorced and is happy and free. She said, “I’m ready to be happy.” Angela is proud of her choice to stand up for herself and use her pain to become stronger, even though her revenge was harsh.
