Finding out that your partner has cheated on you is a heart-breaking, world-shattering moment for any individual.
Finding out that they’re planning to marry someone else – while still married to you – is downright inconceivable.
That’s the soul-crushing situation one woman found herself in after discovering a series of messages on her husband’s computer.
But she didn’t take it lying down, oh no.
She got the ultimate revenge on her cheating husband and is now sharing her story to show women that they aren’t powerless.
A woman, known only as Mel, shared the incredible story of her husband’s affair on Whimn.com .
Mel revealed that she and her husband Marty had a perfect relationship from the moment they met, until the day he was given a promotion at work.
As well as a new role, Marty now had to travel a lot for work, heading off from their home in Australia to his company’s office in Canada.
The long periods away put a strain on the couple’s relationship, and Mel soon began to resent her husband.
She said: "We grew apart over the next year. I resented being left alone for such long periods and I have to admit, even when he was home, I was resentful and critical.
"Marty started spending a lot of time on is computer when he was home. He said he had a lot of work to do, but I knew it was more than that. He was avoiding talking to me. What I didn’t realise was that it was so much more than that."
One night Marty feel asleep in bed, with his laptop still on.
Mel went to close it and put it away when she noticed a heartbreaking message on the screen.
It read: "Miss you, hurry home. xxx"
Instantly, she knew her marriage was over, so she started reading through the conversation her husband had been having with the mystery woman.
And she was shocked by what she discovered.
"It turned out Marty wasn’t just having an affair – he was living with a woman called Chantal in Canada. I didn’t know how long it had been going on for, but it was long enough for them to be talking about getting engaged.
"How he was planning on doing that I don’t really know – he was still ‘happily’ married to me."
Instead of wallowing in her sadness, Mel decided to take action.
"I knew revenge was a dish best served cold. I needed time. My first thought was to get in touch with his girlfriend and tell her all about the life he had back in Australia, but that felt too simple. I wanted to hit him where it would really hurt: in the hip pocket," she explained.
So instead of letting on that she knew of the affair, she kept quiet and waited until Marty headed off a week later on another business trip, then she put her plan into motion.
Mel contacted an estate agent and arranged to sell their beautiful house, complete with an infinity swimming pool, for well below its worth, to ensure it would be snapped up quickly.
The house was in her name, so she had no problems completing the task without Marty finding out what she was up to.
Six weeks later the money from the sale came through – just as Marty returned home from his trip.
Mel put half in a private savings account for herself and deposited the other half into her joint account with her husband.

But she wasn’t there to see what happened when he got back to find strangers living in his house, instead she was off enjoying a luxury cruise with her girlfriends.
She added: "I imagine he was pretty surprised that his beloved home now belonged to Josh and Tamara – and they had the paperwork to prove it.
"I’m telling this story, not because I’m proud of what I did, but because I want women to understand that they always have power, even if a man has ground them down and made them feel like rubbish. And because I don’t want anyone to think they have to put up with a lying snake."
Since the house sale, Marty has moved in with his girlfriend in Canada. Mel says he hasn’t contacted her yet to ask about a divorce but he can "bring it on".
