She wrote: "Cheating is something that I have always had strong opinions about. I have been cheated on before, and it sucked. So when my sister-in-law staged an elaborate scheme about my husband cheating, I ended the relationship. My relationship, unfortunately, wasn't the only one that was affected."

How Did the Woman's Marriage Fall Apart?

Lisa, her best friend Emma, and the woman's husband, Jamie (Lisa's brother), had grown up together and were best friends. Unfortunately, Emma married an abusive man when she was 20 and had two children with him.

Ten years later, Emma divorced her husband but suffered through it all and eventually went into therapy with her children. The woman and her husband Jamie had been together for four years and married for two when Emma and her husband divorced.

However, the woman didn't know that since her divorce, Emma had set her sights on Jamie, and Lisa had made it her mission to get them together, no matter what it would do to others.

The woman had no idea that Lisa and Emma were set on Jamie and Emma ending up together, so when she overheard Lisa talking about Jamie cheating on her with a colleague, she was heartbroken.

Lisa told the woman she never meant for her to hear what was going on and begged her not to end her marriage to Jamie. The woman shared:

"But at the same time, she provided me with pictures and texts they were all photoshopped of my husband and his colleague."

Lisa implored the woman not to tell Jamie it was her who disclosed details of the affair, and because she was grateful for the support, the woman agreed that she would never reveal her source.

How Did the Woman React?

The woman soon confronted her husband with the information, which he denied. She admitted that it hurt her that he never admitted to the affair or apologized for what he had done to her.

When Jamie asked his wife where she got her information, she remained loyal to Lisa and said it had been an anonymous tip. The woman then told Jamie's colleague's husband about the affair, and both couples began divorce proceedings.

As soon as both couples were broken up, Lisa and Emma began hanging out with Jamie far more often, and the woman watched through Instagram as her husband and his sister's best friend got closer and closer.

The woman was desperate to know the truth and contacted Lisa's boyfriend, Mike's sister. The woman clarified that Lisa had told her her husband was cheating, but she was doubting everything. Luckily, Mike was willing to help her find the truth.

She let them in, and they scolded her, telling her they would ruin her life if she continued contacting Jamie.

Mike had access to Lisa's phone and found that Lisa and Emma had plotted everything. He sent the woman all the proof he could see that Lisa and Emma had made up the affair entirely.

The woman then met with Jamie's colleague's husband and told him everything before wondering if she should contact Jamie to apologize for everything that had happened between them.

Eventually, the woman gave an update, saying she decided not to phone or meet up with Jamie but rather to email him. After many drafts and waiting a while, she emailed explaining what his sister and Emma had done.

Although Jamie didn't answer the email, the woman came home one day to find Lisa and Emma outside her house. She let them in, and they scolded her, telling her they would ruin her life if she continued contacting Jamie.

The woman couldn't get Lisa and Emma out of her apartment, so she left instead and asked Jamie to get them to go. After a while, Lisa and Emma left, and Jamie called to find out if he could come to see the woman; she readily agreed.

When Jamie got to the woman's house, he told her he was hurt. The woman explained that she loved and trusted Lisa like a sister but was sorry she had ever doubted him.

Jamie then stayed the night at the woman's house, after which they began talking every day. She hoped they would be able to mend their relationship. She also confirmed that Jamie's colleague and her husband were back together.

Lisa and Mike had broken up, and Emma and Lisa's relationship became strained after the details of their betrayals emerged. The woman received much support on her posts, and people were happy to know that Jamie learned the truth about his sister and her best friend.
