Shock as Woman Uncovers Sister-in-Law's Plot To Make Her Divorce Husband

A "heartbroken" woman has taken to the internet to ask for advice after finding out her husband's "affair" was all a lie.

In a viral Reddit post, a user who has since deleted her account explained how her sister-in-law Lisa accused her husband Jamie of having an affair with a "beautiful" work colleague.

The 30-year-old wife was shown photos of the two together, leaving her with no choice but to divorce her 29-year-old husband.

But now the poster believes it was all part of a plot by Lisa to get Jamie together with Lisa's best friend, Emma.

The post has received over 7,000 upvotes and the original poster has been advised by over 10,000 people to tell her ex-husband what his sister has done.

The poster met Jamie four years ago and they married two years later. At first, "Everything was just awesome."

But, also in the picture was Emma, 32, who was best friends with Jamie and Lisa when they were growing up.

The post said: "Emma got married early when she was 20. Her husband was abusive. She has two children with him. She got divorced ten years later and was finally free from his abuse."

"What I didn't know was that Emma wanted Jamie and Lisa made it her mission, when Emma finally got divorced, to bring her brother and best friend together."

But the poster didn't know about this hidden agenda when, a few months into her marriage, she overheard Lisa talking about how Jamie was cheating on her with a married colleague.

"In hindsight, I can tell it was staged because she was saying unnecessary details and was very loud. She meant for me to hear it. I confronted her then and there and she played very flustered and apologized and begged me not to ruin my marriage."

"But at the same time, she provided me with pictures and texts [they were all photoshopped] of my husband and his colleague. She begged me not to mention where I've found out and I ... promised her not to expose her as the source."

The user said she confronted her husband but he refused to admit anything. Nor did he apologize. She also contacted the colleague's husband as she felt it was "the right thing to do" at the time.

She asked for a divorce and so did the colleague's husband. Months went by and the poster was "still heartbroken, processing the separation." "My husband stopped trying to make me see reason and agreed to divorce," she wrote.

But the original poster didn't hear from Lisa much and noticed that Lisa, Jamie, and Emma were hanging out more often.

The plot thickens as the original poster began to have doubts about everything so she asked Lisa's on-off boyfriend Mike to help uncover the truth.

With the help of Mike, who knew Lisa's passwords, she found all of the messages and photoshopped images.

She said: "My world was turned upside down again and I went down a deeper depression. I stayed in bed, and called in sick for two weeks. I have not only ruined my life but also another family ... I should have trusted my husband and the love he's shown me."

The woman has told the colleague's ex-husband, who was "angry," but she has yet to tell her husband and asked other Reddit users for advice on whether she should do so.

According to Main Line Family Law Centre, nearly 45 percent of married couples in the United States will get divorced. And 66 percent of those divorces are initiated by women.

The top comment on the Reddit post has racked up over 10,400 upvotes. It said: "I would 100 percent tell him. How can his own sister do something so f**ked up? He needs to know."

Another said: "Agreed. Please, please, please tell him. Find any way you can but, if you can, see if you can find a way to contact him without Lisa and Emma knowing. If they suspect you're about to blow the whistle, they may try and spin their own story first. Document everything and find a way to show it to him. I hope things get better and that Lisa and Emma face the consequences."

Newsweek was not able to verify the details of the case.
