I've decided to completely rewrite this part of my story to stay true to the emotions, the pain, the recovery, and most importantly, the truth. This is my version, raw, honest, and the one I wish I'd told from the start. If you've been here since the beginning, thank you. And if you just joined in, welcome to the final post of this saga. It includes everything, what happened most recently, and how it all ended.

All right, here we go. and got arrested. It happened the night he showed up, drunk, slurring, out of his mind, at his ex-wife's place, breaking the restraining order like it meant nothing. That man, who had already torched his own life to ashes, arrived at her doorstep acting like a victim, desperate, shattered, and spiraling. Everything was gone, his wife, his job, his reputation, even his sense of self. He stumbled to her door with liquor on his breath and blame in his voice. When the cops got there, he was completely unhinged. In front of the officers, he pointed at me, screaming how I ruined his life.

In the same breath, he started sobbing and saying he didn't want to live anymore. And then, just like that, in the middle of his incoherent rambling, he blurted out that he had run me over with his car on purpose. That was the moment everything changed. He had admitted to attempted murder, on top of his long list of charges, driving under the influence, violating a restraining order, domestic abuse, harassment, and assault. They took him down right there. No bail. No excuses. Just cold steel cuffs and a cell.

A few days after that whirlwind of a night, I got a message from Hannah's dad. He asked to meet. Alone. I was hesitant, but out of respect, I agreed. We met at this quiet, little cat. cafe, tucked away in a sleepy corner of the city. I hadn't heard a single word from Hannah since that day at the hospital when I told her to leave. But her dad, he came with something on his chest. He wanted to explain her silence. He told me that he and her mother had begged her not to contact me

anymore. They wanted to protect me, to give me space. He said she'd finally started to understand, like really understand, just how deep the wounds were that she'd left in me. He said she was drowning in regret. Apparently, the accident woke something up in her. It was like the fog lifted and she saw the wreckage she'd caused. Her dad said she'd even called what she did to me abuse. That word hit him hard. But it meant something to me.

Because finally, someone besides me said it out loud. Then he asked me the big question. Could I ever forgive her? Could I give her another shot? And I told him no. Not in this life. I asked him if he had ever been cheated on. He said no.

So I told him he couldn't really understand. He didn't know what it felt like to trust someone with your soul and then watch them shatter it, piece by piece. I walked him through it all. Not to be cruel, but to make him see. The cheating. The lies. The way she protected Ryan after everything. How she told people I had hurt her, when in reality he had.

And the part that still keeps me up some nights, she ended our baby's life. Maybe it wasn't confirmed that the child was mine, but it could have been. And she chose that fate for him or her. When I was done talking, I asked him flat out, if your wife did all this to you, could you ever take her back? He didn't even hesitate. He said no. So there it was. He understood, at least in the end.

He thanked me for talking with him. Promise not to tell Hannah about our meeting. Then he walked away. Even my parents, who always pushed for kindness, had finally stopped suggesting I should try again with Hannah. They saw the damage. They saw what inviting someone like Ryan into our world had done. They stopped hoping I'd go back.

As for the OBS, other betrayed spouse, for those who don't know, she's holding up okay. Her mom is still living with her for support, especially with the court process dragging on. Because of the criminal charges against Ryan, her lawyer was able to speed things up and bypass the typical waiting period for divorce. She's planning to move closer to family soon. I support that decision. As for me, I'm doing all right now. I've got my lawyer handling all the details. The best part, Hannah didn't contest the divorce.

It's like she finally accepted it. That gave me the freedom to start fresh. Epilogue, five years later, five years.

Never reached out again. Our divorce wrapped up quietly about a year after we split. Since then, I've only heard about her through my parents. They bumped into her folks at a community event. Turns out, she moved back in with her parents after the divorce and has been taking care of her dad, who's really sick. They said she's different now. Like, completely.

She's in therapy, going to support groups, trying to make something of herself again. But she hasn't had any serious relationships. Any time she tried dating, it ended the moment she told them the truth about why her marriage ended. So, eventually, she just stopped trying. Ryan, though, he's where he belongs. Behind bars. He got slapped with a long sentence for everything, abuse, DUI, breaking the restraining order, and attempted murder. He's still locked up as far as I know.

Our old friend group Gone Vaporized When the truth came out The affairs, the lies, the betrayals, It was like a bomb went off I haven't spoken to most of them since Only two real friends stuck around

They were there through the darkest moments And helped me climb out One of the guys from our group The one whose wife was cheating, too He tried to stick it out for the kids said he wanted to give his marriage one last chance. But it never felt right. The trust was dead.

And then, surprise, she cheated again. That was it for him. Now he's dealing with his own messy divorce and a custody battle. We talk sometimes. It's weirdly comforting knowing you're not the only one who went through hell. As for me, recovery wasn't a straight line. It was a goddamn roll-upy-old. coaster. I was depressed, angry, completely gutted. Some days I could barely get out of bed. I drank

too much. Way too much. I didn't care about anything. Just wanted to numb at all. But then my friend stepped in. My family, too. They dragged me to therapy. I joined AA. I started rebuilding from the ground up. Slowly. Painfully. But I got there. One day, I found this random flyer in the mail. Just some local event. I don't even know why I didn't throw it away. Something told me to go. So I did. And that small, meaningless choice ended up changing everything. That was the moment I knew, I was going to be okay. Soon after, I got offered a job in another province. It was like the universe was handing me a reset button.

And I took it. I packed my stuff and left. Clean slate. And man, being with her was like night and day. No secrets. No fear. Just honesty and comfort in this weird, electric sense of peace. We could just be us, with no masks and no masks and no.

No past looming over us like a ghost. We got married a year ago. There's so much rugby on Sports Extra from Sky.
