This crazy story happened to me a few weeks ago. OMG, you won’t believe it, but it involves my husband, his mistress, me, and my MIL. Long story short—they tried to kick me out of MY OWN HOUSE!
Let me start by saying everything in this house is mine. I own the firm that funded every piece of furniture, every wall, and every window. My business is my pride and joy, and I worked tirelessly to build it from the ground up.
Stan, my husband, never contributed a dime to the mortgage or the bills. This house, my sanctuary, is solely in my name. So, you can imagine my shock when they tried to take it from me.
It was a Wednesday evening, and I was at home watching a series while my husband Stan was on a business trip in Miami. (I know you’re wondering why my husband was on a business trip without me, but I’ll get to that later.)
Suddenly, someone rang the intercom. I went to the door and saw a woman holding a baby on the intercom screen.
“Someone’s at the wrong door,” I thought. I opened the door and we had this conversation:
“How can I help you?” I asked.
“I’m your ex-husband’s future wife. I’ll be living here now. By the way, this is May, his daughter,” she declared with a confidence that stunned me.
“Excuse me? What are you talking about?” I managed to stammer.
“Stan told me everything. You two are separated. He said I could move in until we get our place.”
“That’s absurd! We’re not separated. He’s just on a business trip.”
“Well, that’s not what he told me. And now I have nowhere else to go.”
“I’m sorry, but you can’t stay here. You need to leave.”
“Look, I don’t have any money or a home. My lease expired. I thought this was settled.”
“Stan never mentioned any of this to me. This is my house.”
“He said you’d say that. He also said you could afford a hotel.”
I couldn’t believe what I was hearing. Apparently, Stan met this woman under false pretenses and told her that we were legally separated. He also claimed he owned half of my company and everything else I owned.
