Colleen thought she knew her husband, Michael, until one day she overheard his therapy session, uncovering a shocking secret that shattered their 12-year marriage.
“My life was perfect,” Colleen shares. “Married for 12 years, two kids, Shawn and Milly. We celebrated everything together.” But everything changed one afternoon.
While talking to Michael, who was about to start his therapy session, Colleen accidentally overheard his conversation with Dr. Hanks. “I’ve got two other families,” Michael confessed. “One in California and another in New York. I’ve been living three different lives.”
Stunned, Colleen struggled to comprehend the betrayal. “He told Dr. Hanks he loved all of us but felt exhausted living multiple lives,” she recalls. “I felt sick, knowing our life was a lie.”
Confronting Michael, Colleen fabricated a story about cheating to see if he’d confess. When he didn’t, she revealed she knew everything. “I heard it all, Michael. You’ve destroyed our family,” she said.
Colleen left Michael, filing for divorce. “His deception haunts me, but I’ll never let anyone betray us again,” she vows.
