My Wife Threw Out the Present I Gave Her, and It Led to Me Revealing Her Terrible Secret
A man was extremely concerned about his wife’s actions and how she would respond to a thoughtful surprise he had prepared for her. After receiving flowers from her husband on a particularly romantic occasion, the woman felt inadequate. The man was shaken when he faced his wife because he had been taken aback by what he had initially perceived as an odd breakdown. It came out that his wife had a secret, and after learning of it, the man is unsure of how to move forward in their marriage.
The spouse of a man has always been composed and reasonable.
A 39-year-old man named Derek wrote a letter and shared his story, which has the power to move many people. “My wife Sarah and I have been happily married for over 5 years now,” he wrote as he began his letter. Sarah and I met in a grocery store, and I was immediately drawn to her. We struck up a conversation after I walked up to her, introduced myself, and asked her out for coffee. We clicked right away. We got close very quickly, and we got engaged not long after our first encounter.
Derek disclosed to us that Sarah, his wife, had a difficult past. “Sarah was a widow when I met her,” the man wrote. She had grown up with her late husband, Mike. I was aware of every aspect of their lives, including the fact that Sarah’s mother had watched Mike as a child. Mike and Sarah started “dating” when they were in the seventh grade, and at the age of 20, they tied the knot. Mike passed away in a vehicle crash just before I met her, at the age of 33.
Sarah’s late husband was a frequent topic of conversation between her and Derek.
Derek continues his account, stating that it has never been a secret to him that Sarah struggled to move past the loss of her late husband. Derek saw that his wife was still dealing with her past, even though she loved him, and he truly wanted to support her. It was Derek who recommended Sarah see a therapist.
The man wrote, “Sarah was still grieving her husband’s death when we first started dating. She would frequently have panic attacks and would lock herself in the bathroom sobbing.” When such things occurred, I have always made an effort to be as understanding as possible. Even though she declined my assistance and merely requested some space, I made a sincere effort to console her.
The couple spent a lot of time discussing Sarah’s past, and Derek genuinely thought that this contributed significantly to them being able to move past their boundaries. The man noticed that as time went on, the dire circumstances became less urgent, and eventually, neither of them mentioned Sarah’s late husband anymore.
When Derek gave his wife flowers one day, the reaction was intensely sentimental.
Derek wrote that he realized one day that a very important date was drawing near. “It just occurred to me that Sarah and I will be celebrating our five-year anniversary of when we first met,” he wrote. I have vivid memories of that day because I fell in love with my wife on that very day, without even having to look. However, Sarah didn’t seem to remember this date, so I made her a romantic gift in an effort to jog her memory of our first romantic feelings for one another.
In an effort to make his wife even more happy on that momentous day, Derek wrote that he had purchased some lilies for Sarah and, at the last minute, had also decided to purchase an ostentatious golden ring set with a diamond.
However, he was shocked by Sarah’s response after he gave her the flowers at home. «She snatched the flowers from my hands and stormed out of the apartment without even putting on shoes,” the man wrote. She threw the lilies in a dumpster and began screaming at the top of her lungs as I followed her. Sarah eventually gave way on her knees and collapsed to the ground. She was crying uncontrollably. Sarah has never looked so awful to me.
Derek was deeply shaken when he confronted his wife and learned the truth.
Derek wrote, “I got down on the floor with Sarah and tried to hold her and calm her down when she was having that breakdown because of the flowers and was lying there.” I expressed regret for giving her these flowers because I had given her lilies on several other occasions and had no idea why there had been such a negative response. But not right now. I was curious as to why she was acting so absurdly.
Derek questioned Sarah about why she was having such a meltdown over the flowers after she had calmed down. Derek persisted even though the woman didn’t want to speak initially.
«She gave up when I told her I would have to take her to the doctor or therapist when she wouldn’t talk,» the man wrote. I wish I had never known the truth that she revealed to me. It turned out that Todd was the twin brother of her late husband Mike. According to Sarah, the brothers shared a striking resemblance, making it difficult for others to distinguish between them. Because Mike’s twin brother looked like Mike and Sarah was comforted by his presence, Sarah became so distraught after Mike’s death that she began speaking with him frequently.
Derek continues, “This was the day my wife and that twin brother started dating, which is when Sarah and I first met.” After spending some time together, Sarah developed feelings for Todd. Although we had different reasons for considering that day significant, it turned out that this was an important date for both of us.
“After that night, Sarah swore she never dated Todd and that she didn’t keep in touch with him after she started dating me,” Derek wrote. However, I sense that she is lying, and I’m not sure how to handle this information. Even though I adore Sarah more than anything, I want to move out and file for divorce right away. But I’m really tired of my wife’s past and I can’t bear this burden any longer.
