“Sarah, no.
Not at first. I knew you were uncertain about having a stranger in our home, so I wanted to be here while she worked. But then it became something a little more,” he ran his fingers through his hair.
“What now?” he asked.
“We report her,” I said.
The following day, I went down to the agency and reported Vanessa.
Thankfully, they took our complaint seriously, realizing the breach of trust and professionalism.
Vanessa was let go from the agency, and her ties to our home were severed.
After the whole episode, John and I scaled back our hours at work. We decided that the only way to fix the cracks in our relationship was to spend time together and build it back up.
Although I told myself that I would leave if I could even smell a trace of infidelity, I realized that I didn’t want to face a world without John by my side.
We’re starting therapy soon, because we are determined to emerge stronger.
Do you have any similar stories?
