Revenge is a dish best served cold!

When a woman found out her husband of 19 years was having an affair with her friend of 25 years, she decided to take revenge with a clever message involving her old wedding dress.

One Woman’s Revenge Story

Karen Dineen’s epic story of revenge when she discovered that her husband was cheating on her is both hilarious and inspiring.

And it all started when she began to suspect that her husband was having an affair.

They Had The Perfect Life

Karen and her husband Terry looked like they had a fairytale life on the surface. The couple were married for 19 years and even shared two kids together.

Then things took a dark turn.

Her Husband’s Behavior Changed

Karen began to notice a couple of warning signs in how her husband’s behavior had changed. He started coming home from work, getting dressed in nice clothes, and then leaving again, claiming he had to return to work.

He worked construction, and Karen didn’t think there’d be a good reason for him to get dressed up.

He Made A Sneaky Change

Then Karen noticed that her husband had changed his phone passcode, which he hadn’t done the entire time she’d been married to him.

She was already suspicious when Christmas rolled around.

His Guilty Conscious

Karen said that the present he bought her clued her in that he was feeling guilty about something.

“That Christmas, he bought me a £700 diamond ring which just had guilt written all over it,” she said.

His Sneaky Plan

When she checked the receipt, she saw he had also bought two bottles of her perfume, although he’d only given her one.

“What he was thinking was, he will buy both of us Opium so when he comes in smelling of it, it’s my perfume.”

Then It All Changed

While these things all raised suspicions for Karen, it was something he said to her in the New Year that set her off.

“Around Valentine’s Day, I remember him saying something like, ‘I don’t know what I want to do with the rest of my life,’ so I said, ‘I thought I was part of it?’ He said, ‘You are, but I don’t know what I want to do; just give me time.’”

Everything Changed

“I make a brilliant friend but a terrible enemy, and he was making such an enemy of me,” she said.

Karen set into the start of her plan, which involved gathering up some of her husband’s items and selling them.

She Was Just Beginning

“I thought, ‘You can have all the [expletive] time you like, mate,’ so I started making plans. I started getting rid of stuff, selling stuff,” she said.

But she knew if she wanted to make a bigger move, she’d need proof.

She Got His Phone Passcode

One morning, Karen said that “He woke me up by moving to get his phone, and something in my head said, ‘mouth shut, eyes and ears open.'”

“I just looked up and saw him put four of the same number in his phone, so I thought, right, now we’ve got the pin number.”

She Bided Her Time

Karen saw her opportunity to use the new passcode one night when Terry was in the shower.

“One night, it was like my body became possessed, I paused the telly, and I heard him in the shower. I went out to the car, started it, and left the door open.”

She Saw Texts From His Side Chick

Karen said the texts contained messages like “I can’t believe last night, it was wonderful,” “Yeah, we made up for not seeing each other,” and “Don’t give her any ammunition.”

They even had pet names for each other, like “huggy bear.”
