A 30-year-old woman has recounted an incredibly strange story that caught our attention. Every day, her spouse seemed to have an insatiable appetite, always asking for a double portion of lunch. The woman thought that her cooking skills might be to blame and had a lot of ideas about what was going on. However, there came a day when she received a response that would forever linger in her memory, one she could neither forget nor forgive.
At 30 years old, Jessica wrote a heartfelt letter sharing her story, one that brought significant upheaval to her life and deeply affected her family.
Jessica opened her letter with a heartfelt confession: «I used to live a happy life, but now I’m 99% certain I want a divorce. I’m devastated because I never thought my life would take such an unforeseen and terrible turn.»
Jessica shared, «My husband, Tom, and I have been married for almost five years now, and we are the proud parents of a 5-month-old baby.»
«I have a part-time job that adds a little extra to our finances. I’m also covering the costs associated with getting Tom documented through the legal process. We were lucky to experience a smooth journey, with Tom’s residency process taking just two years. After everything that has transpired, I’ve made the decision to cancel all the legal proceedings and move forward with filing for divorce.»
Jessica shared her usual routine for preparing Tom’s lunches. She shared, «My routine was quite busy. Every morning, I found myself waking up two hours ahead of Tom. It became my routine to prepare his lunch and gather all the essentials he needed for his workday. In the morning, I took the time to prepare his breakfast, brew his coffee, and lay out his clothes for the day. After that, he would rise, have his meal, put on his clothes, and head out for work in just 40 minutes.»
Jessica always went the extra mile to ensure Tom had enough to eat at work, but it felt like nothing could truly satisfy his appetite. She went on, «Tom used to be happy with everything I packed for him. I usually whip up some freshly cooked chicken, often paired with a delicious sauce or wrapped up in a tasty chicken wrap. Healthy food was always on the menu. I took this step to simplify Tom’s life and to express my care and love for him. It’s hard to believe that I’ve been making his lunches for over five years now, ever since we first moved in together.»
Jessica couldn’t believe her ears when she found out that Tom had been going hungry all this time. She shared, «Recently, I found myself adding dinner leftovers to the mix because Tom started asking for more food.» He mentioned that he was still feeling hungry even after finishing the lunches I prepared. It seemed odd to me because he always came home to a ready-made meal, so I assumed he was fine even if he wasn’t full. Honestly, I was totally okay with serving him larger portions for lunch.»
Jessica shared, «I began to double his portions, even the food I usually brought to work. This meant I had to wait until after work to eat lunch, or I would be late for work. Waiting for the food to be ready was a bit of a challenge, especially since I was breastfeeding and couldn’t afford to skip any meals.»
Jessica put aside her own comfort for Tom, only to find out he was keeping a secret from her.
Jessica shared, «Last week, while I was packing his lunch, I discovered a second fork tucked away in his lunchbox. So, I had a chat with Tom, and he mentioned that he stumbled upon it in the kitchen at his office and decided to bring it home. It struck me as strange, and I observed some shifts in his behavior. I told myself it was just my insecurities talking, especially since I had just welcomed a new baby into my life. It left me feeling a bit unsettled.»
One day, Jessica stumbled upon the surprising truth behind Tom’s «hunger.»
She went on, «A few days after I found the fork, I planned to surprise him with dessert at lunch and show him our cute baby. It was at that moment I realized the reason behind his constant craving for more food. In the past, we found ourselves in a debate regarding one of his colleagues. I noticed him chatting a bit too casually with her, and I had to let him know it really made me uncomfortable. Later on, he mentioned that she had departed from the company, leading me to ask him to remove her from all his social networks and block her on every messaging app. Surprisingly, she hadn’t left; instead, she was still at work, enjoying the lunch I had made for Tom, while he was busy munching on the leftovers.»
Jessica mentioned, «I didn’t make a scene.» I just took pictures of them having lunch together and put them in a box with proof of what he did in the past. He had shown interest in other women’s posts, shared provocative pictures of a colleague from a past job, and ultimately lost that job because of her.
Jessica felt utterly heartbroken. She shared, «I drove home in tears, gathered my belongings, took the bassinet, everything essential for the baby, and headed to my sister’s place to share everything with her and my brother-in-law.»
Jessica is feeling heartbroken, and her family is sharing in that pain.
She mentioned, «I typically text Tom throughout the day, but on that particular day, I went completely off the grid. Tom began reaching out through texts and calls, checking in on how I was doing and asking about dinner plans. He was anxious. Upon arriving home an hour earlier than he typically would, he discovered that both my belongings and those of the baby were missing.
Later that night, I told him I wanted a divorce and that I was stopping the legal process for his documentation. He was very angry and begged me to stay and give him another chance. I decided to block him on all platforms. When he showed up at my sister’s house, she firmly told him to leave, warning that she would call the police if he didn’t. I feel so broken, lost, and depressed. But I’m confident that I’m making the right choice. Being a single mom may come with its challenges, but it’s far better than being with someone who deceives me and expects me to cater to his mistresses.
