When My Husband Jack Came Home with Another Woman—and Declared She’d Be His Second Wife—I Thought It Was a Joke. But What Happened Next Blew Us Both Away—All Because of One Condition I Set.
It all started months earlier, when Jack’s behavior took a weird turn. He kept talking about “alternative lifestyles,” spent hours on his phone laughing at something I couldn’t see, and acted like he was hiding a secret. At first, I thought it was just another of his phases—like his brief woodworking obsession or that crazy idea about opening a food truck.
Then came the hints. One evening, Jack casually said it’d be nice to have some extra help around the house. I joked about hiring a cleaning service, but he didn’t laugh. His serious tone sent a chill down my spine, but I didn’t push him.
Then, last week, it happened. Jack walked in with Claire, a woman I’d never met, and dropped a bombshell: Claire would be his second wife. I was speechless. Jack insisted it was a practical arrangement—Claire would help with cooking, cleaning, chores—better than sneaking around with a mistress.
I stood there, stunned, watching Claire avoid my gaze. Then, a bold idea hit me. I smiled and said, “Fine. You can have a second wife — but only if I get a second husband.”
Jack froze. I explained if he wanted to live a ‘traditional’ polygamous life, then I deserved the same right. He tried to argue tradition and cultural limits, but I called his bluff and refused to back down.
Claire left shortly after, and Jack begged me to reconsider. But I was already one step ahead — I’d created a dating profile to find my “second husband.” I told Jack I was done.
The next morning, Jack admitted it was a terrible mistake and wanted to forget the whole thing. But I had made my decision. I packed my bags, moved out, and filed for divorce. Claire stopped answering his calls, and Jack was left alone to face the consequences of his “practical” plan.
