My husband sent me to his sick mom’s house – My lawyer called me and shouted ‘Go back now!’

I was on the way to my mother-in-law’s place to get her some dinner because she was sick, but that’s when my lawyer called me and stopped me from making the worst mistake in my life; trusting someone I shouldn’t have.

When I first met Matt, he seemed like the most genuine person there was. We clicked right away and what started as a friendship turned into affection and later love, at least from my side.

We dated for a couple of months before he proposed. I said ‘yes’ and felt like the happiest person.

The truth was I had a well-paid job and I could afford little luxuries now and then. And now, getting married would mean my life would be complete. Matt’s requests to borrow him money he always promised to give back with his next paycheck didn’t bother me at first. We were building a future together and I trusted him.

However, his relationship with my mother-in-law, Linda, was an odd one. He was always overly concerned for her and always took her side, saying she was the woman who raised him.

Those little “loans” were often for getting her various gifts, most of which she didn’t even like, like the microwave we got her recently. Instead of saying “thank you,” she asked why we didn’t get her a smart one. But, as I felt offended by her comments, Matt assured me it was nothing and that I was overreacting.

He and I were saving for a house, the same one we rented for a couple of years. The truth was that I had saved way more, and the contract being on his name wasn’t a big deal because in case of divorce we would both get 50-50 of all our assets.

However, on the way we were about to sign the contract, Matt felt uneasy. Instead of being happy, he seemed worried and asked me if we could postpone. This didn’t sound real to me. We have been waiting for this day for so long, and he wasn’t ready.

When I asked him what was wrong, he said his mother was sick, and he couldn’t proceed with signing the contract for the new house knowing she was home all by herself. I asked if there was something I could do, and he told me there was. I could bring her a few slices of the lasagna I made.

His mom loved my lasagna, so I thought I could stop by her place and bring her some.

On my way to her house, my lawyer called me and told me to return home right away.

Not being aware of what was going on, the lawyer, Sarah, said Matt and Linda were in my house, trying to sign the contract of the purchase on her name.

At that moment, my world collapsed. I refused to believe the man I loved was capable of such a thing.

I returned as fast as I could, and that’s when I saw Matt and his mother talking to the real estate agent, who could also sense something odd was going on.

My lawyer followed after me, and told me she learned of Matt’s plan to get the house on his mom’s name and then divorce me, leaving me with nothing.

I stared at him and asked him how he could do such thing.

He said he and his mom were doing that because it was for the best.

“Best for whom?” I asked. “You and your dear mommy?”

Luckily, I was there in time to prevent my money from going to waste.

What followed was a bitter divorce. I didn’t want to have anything with the man who could betray me so easily.

Over time, I saved up for a new house. I had my home and my freedom.
