33-year-old Angela has never even imagined that her happy, stable family life would crack and fall apart in one single day. She sent us a letter where she shared her story, and she emphasized that her failure didn’t make her weak and helpless. Driving strength from her misfortune, Angela decided to share it with our readers to get some fresh opinions about her intricate family situation.

Angela wrote us a heartfelt and emotional letter.

My husband, Max, 36, and I have been married for over 10 years. We’ve always been what people call ’an ideal couple’, because we managed to survive through many storms in our married life and still remain faithful, loyal and loving towards each other. At least I thought so, but recently I was heavily disillusioned.

Angela was worried about her spouse’s well-being and health.

My husband has been working too hard for the past 3 weeks. He barely ate all this time. He lost weight and looked exhausted. I was seriously worried about him. Recently, I woke up at 4 am to make him an early breakfast. He was still sleeping.

I went to the kitchen and froze in shock, because I saw an unfamiliar woman, standing near our cooking stove. She was chopping vegetables, apparently for some salad, and she was behaving like she was familiar with all the things in our kitchen.

I started screaming, the woman turned around, made a ’shh’-sign and said, ’I thought you’d wake up even earlier. We need to talk, Angela. About Max, you and me. I’m here to shed a light on many things in your life, after our talk you’ll probably hate me, but you have to know the truth.

Angela wasn’t prepared for the harsh truth coming from a strange woman in her kitchen.

I asked her about who she was and how she managed to come to my house, unnoticed. She said that she had a key and showed it to me. It, indeed, was the key to our house. She asked me to sit down, and when I reluctantly did, she introduced herself.
