Husband’s Dirty Laundry Aired
So, our heroine discovers her hubby’s been badmouthing her to his work friends, including some higher-ups. They’re all sympathizing with him, even suggesting some pretty awful ways to emotionally manipulate her. Furious, she takes screenshots and sends them to their boss, Allison, who hates people who disparage moms. She also sends a formal email to HR. The next day, all hell breaks loose. ️ The husband’s group gets called in for meetings, and the guy who wrote the most offensive message gets fired. Ted, the VP, is suspended without pay but later reinstated. Meanwhile, our protagonist’s husband is suspended, reprimanded, and moved to a different team. But he’s not apologetic at all! Instead, he accuses her of snooping and says a good wife would have kept quiet. Now, they’re headed for divorce, and she’s left wondering if she went too far. Let’s see what the internet thinks of this messy situation… ️♀️
