A heartbroken man took to Reddit to share his shocking discovery after his wife of over 30 years passed away.

He stumbled upon a stack of love letters and text messages from another man, revealing a long-standing affair.

The man, who had believed he had a picture-perfect life, was devastated and sought revenge.

The Redditor shared that he and his wife met in Scotland in 1979 and got married in 1986.

They moved to a small village where he worked night shifts while she took care of their children.

Everything seemed idyllic until his wife’s untimely death.

After getting the necessary paperwork to bury his wife, the man and his son decided to go through her belongings.

They stumbled upon the love letters and text messages that exposed her affair, which had started in the first year of their marriage.

Shockingly, the entire village seemed to be aware of the secret.

To add insult to injury, it turned out that the man suspected one of their four children was not biologically his.

He convinced two of his children to take a DNA test, which yielded unexpected results.

None of the children were related to him, and they all had different fathers. This revelation sent the man spiraling.

Fueled by anger and betrayal, the man plotted his revenge. Instead of burying his wife in the village cemetery as she had wished, he took her body 300 miles away to England. The villagers were outraged, but the man justified his actions by their failure to disclose the affair.

Seeking to expose everyone involved in the affair, the grieving husband attended a church meeting with 250 guests. He discreetly gave the pastor money intended for a memorial service, which now would not take place. As part of his larger plan, he unveiled the truth to each person implicated in the affair.

First, he confronted a man who had cheated on his wife while she was pregnant. The man impregnated the Redditor’s wife, leading to the revelation that the Redditor’s wife also conceived during that time. The DNA test results provided the evidence for the truth.

Next, he confronted another culprit who had sent his wife a love letter in the ’90s. The Redditor dropped yet another bombshell, revealing that he and his wife had a child together. Once again, the DNA results confirmed their connection.

Lastly, he exposed the chairperson of the village, who appeared to have a perfect marriage. The Redditor confronted the chairperson, disclosing that he had a child with his wife. This revelation shattered the facade of a seemingly ideal marriage.

The Redditor made it clear that the children involved knew who their biological fathers were and were open to meeting them. The story captivated other Redditors who applauded the man for his revenge plot.
