When her best friend refused to believe her husband was cheating, Nancy was determined to open her eyes. She set up a trap, but was unprepared for the explosive consequences.

“Ever had that friend with rose-colored glasses thicker than a disco ball?” That was Melissa. Despite whispers about her husband Victor’s “extracurricular activities,” Melissa clung to their perfect marriage. Seeing her walk on eggshells around Victor drove Nancy to act.

“One gloomy Tuesday evening,” armed with wine and frustration, Nancy confronted Melissa. Melissa dismissed the rumors, insisting, “Victor loves me.” Undeterred, Nancy devised a plan. She called Victor, pretending to celebrate a promotion. He took the bait.

Meeting at a pub, Nancy lured Victor into a compromising situation. When Melissa arrived, Nancy declared, “Your husband’s a complete jerk!” But Victor played a recording of Nancy’s setup. Melissa, furious and betrayed, cut ties with Nancy.

Reflecting alone, Nancy realized her misguided attempt had backfired. “Looking back, my plan was a dumpster fire,” she admitted. Yet she wondered, “Was I the villain here?”
