One evening, I surprised my husband at his new workplace. To my shock, he had told his female colleagues I was just the nanny. Anger and heartbreak led me to devise a plan to make him regret his deceit.

“I’m Sabina, 38, married to Kieran. We met in high school when he needed help with photosynthesis. That’s where our story began.”

After college, our relationship flourished despite the distance. Kieran proposed, and we had a beautiful wedding. We now have two kids, Victor, 12, and Ashley, 8. I loved being a stay-at-home mom, even when it was exhausting.

“Kieran started a new job recently. One evening, I decided to surprise him with dinner at his office.” When I arrived, the receptionist greeted me, saying, “Oh, you must be Sabina, the kids’ nanny!”

My heart stopped. Kieran’s coworker was calling him ‘darling.’ I confronted Kieran and the receptionist, who revealed, “You told me Sabina is your nanny.”

I left, devising a plan to teach him a lesson. I left a note saying, “The nanny quit, so now you’re the nanny!” and went to a beach resort. When I returned, Kieran apologized, realizing the magnitude of his mistake. I handed him divorce papers, telling him, “You erased 15 years of marriage. Now you’re not living here anymore.”

That night, I reassured my kids and realized my worth. My husband had betrayed me, but I was stronger than I ever knew. I shared my story to remind women that they deserve respect and are not just nannies or maids but strong and valuable individuals.
