I Saw MIL’s Facebook Post Stating My Husband Was Divorcing Me — Turns out, It Was a Part of Her Evil Plan
After a heated argument with her husband, Charles, Jess agreed to give him space by letting him stay at his best friend’s house for the night. Charles promised he would return home the next day to talk things through. Jess was hopeful that things would work out between them.
The next morning, Jess spent her time preparing a special meal for when Charles would return. As she waited, she decided to relax and browse social media, hoping to distract herself. That’s when she saw a post from Linda, Charles’ mother, that took her breath away.
The post featured an unflattering photo of Jess and read:
“Cheers to new beginnings! My son is no longer with this psychotic gold digger. Charles is back on the market! Ladies under 25, message me if you’d like to meet him…”
Jess felt a surge of panic and confusion. She immediately tried calling Linda, barely able to contain her anger.
“Hello?” Linda answered, sounding uncharacteristically sweet.
“Linda, what is this?” Jess demanded, her voice trembling with frustration.
“What are you talking about?” Linda feigned innocence.
“This Facebook post!” Jess nearly shouted.
“Oh, that,” Linda said casually. “Charles didn’t tell you? We both decided it would be better if you two parted ways. Let’s face it, Jess, you’re not the right person for my son. He deserves someone who truly appreciates him.”
Jess was stunned. “He deserves someone who appreciates him? Like me? His wife? The one he married?”
Linda’s tone remained condescending. “Well, Jess, Charles called me last night and vented about your fight. He said some pretty harsh things, and I thought it was time to take action. Clearly, he’s fed up. You should just let him go gracefully.”
Jess was left reeling. “You think this is your place to announce this? This is humiliating. What will everyone think?”
Linda’s nonchalance only fueled Jess’s frustration. “He told me he was tired of the fighting but never mentioned divorce. I was going to talk to you about everything tonight.”
Charles arrived home as Jess was still trying to process what had happened. She showed him the post, and his face fell as he read it.
“Oh my God, Jess, I didn’t know she did this,” Charles said, his expression one of genuine shock and regret.
“You didn’t know? Linda announced our divorce on Facebook! How could she think that’s okay?” Jess exclaimed.
Charles admitted he had called Linda out of frustration but had never mentioned wanting a divorce. “I was just venting. I didn’t mean for her to think that we’re ending things.”
Jess was overwhelmed, but Charles’s sincerity shone through. “Is it really that bad? Should we consider ending our marriage?” she asked, her voice quivering.
“No, Jess,” Charles replied firmly. “We need to talk and maybe make some changes, but I don’t want a divorce. Do you?”
Jess shook her head, relieved and moved by his words. Charles then made a call to his mother, demanding she take down the post.
Linda was resistant but eventually complied, and Charles turned to Jess with an apologetic look. “I’m so sorry, Jess. I never meant for things to escalate like this.”
Jess’s tears flowed freely. “Do you understand how humiliating this is? Everyone thinks we’re splitting up because of your mother’s post.”
Charles promised to make things right. He proposed renewing their vows as a way to reaffirm their commitment. Jess was initially taken aback but agreed, seeing it as a chance to heal and strengthen their bond.
They planned a small, intimate vow renewal ceremony in their backyard with close family. It was a meaningful and healing experience, restoring their connection and reaffirming their love.
In the aftermath, Jess and Charles worked on their communication and financial issues, and Jess even enrolled in culinary school—a dream she had long cherished. Their relationship grew stronger, and Jess found new opportunities in her career.
As for Linda, her social media blunder served as a harsh reminder of boundaries and respect, but Jess and Charles emerged from the ordeal more united than ever.
