I Accidentally Overheard My Wife’s Conversation with Her Friend — Now, I Want to Leave Her

A Reddit user shared his experience of surviving a life-threatening disease only to discover his wife’s true feelings.

Despite losing many abilities and being wheelchair-bound, he believed his wife’s support was unwavering. One day, he overheard her telling a friend she felt like his babysitter and missed intimacy with a “real man.”

Devastated, he planned to fake an affair to free her from their marriage without guilt. However, commenters suggested she might have been venting, not expressing her true feelings.
