I suppose it's only fair for everyone's spouse to be on the same page. That certainly was this Redditor's mentality when she Googled the contact information of the husband's coworker. The coworker had been flirting pretty aggressively with OP's husband, both during and outside of work hours. Thankfully, the husband was communicative with his wife and told her everything, which we know is not normally what happens in these situations.

  • OP shared her side of the story via this thread on Reddit's r/pettyrevenge subreddit. After her husband reported his coworker to HR, nothing was really happening and the coworker still would not stop. That's when OP took matters into her own hands and decided to let this terrible coworker's husband know everything that had been going on. Keep scrolling below to see what that phone conversation was like and to see how people responded in the comments section.

    Exposed an almost cheater to her husband Ok reddit I am ready to accept my award. I (31 female) am married to my husband (31 male) who we will call Scott. So Scott is AP security (secret shopper) at a big corporate store. He goes to work looking pretty fresh, smelling good, he's a good looking guy so he gets compliments and what not which makes him feel good and I totally get it. They can look but don't touch, ya know?

    Anyways so there's this female coworker who we will call Karen(37 female), and Karen is married. The other day Karen went on her secondary Facebook she uses for online gaming and messages my husband. It's started off innocent at first asking things like "is this Scott the guy from work" and turned into saying things like "Hi Scotty" (he doesn't go by Scotty) and then asking for relationship advice about some other guy at work who is not Karens husband.

    So one night she messaged him and out of the blue she asks my husband if he would like to make $30 an hour being someone's side piece! He immediately showed me and involved me in the conversation. As the conversation continued it became clear she was talking about herself! That totally caught me by surprise because who does that?!

    My husband tried to nicely tell her that's not the way to handle things and she needs to fix her relationship. He also said some stuff that I was not at all happy with like that he "understood her frustration". This caused a fight between us and I ended up taking upon myself to message her and her out for doing that knowing he's married. She wasn't at all remorseful and made excuses. She acknowledged in previous texts to my husband that he has a wife, so she knew. He also immediately reported th

    In the mean time she ended up approaching him again at work asking him why he showed me, HIS WIFE, the messages. He blew her off basically and said "obviously she was going to see them and he just doesn't want this to be awkward." He told me this, and I told him it's going to awkward no matter what and he needs to be more clear with Karen about wanting nothing to do with this.

    Fast forward another week. She message him AGAIN at work this time. She tells him "come to the back room" a place she knew there wouldn't be anyone around. He said "why?" she never answered him via text, later that night she walks up to him asking him to delete that last text thread. This is where he finally told her off and asically said "this has to stop I'm not dishonest with my wife and this isn't going to happen". She walked away and pretends

    everything is peachy the next time she sees me, smiles and try's to say hi. Here's where I become the . I don't think it's very fair to her husband to not know and just be with someone who does this kind of thing. So, I googled and found him and his phone number and then I called him and told him the whole story. Edit to address the comments of me "being to harsh on my husband"

    In their first conversation she ended up feeling stupid and tried to back track and say "oo I'm sorry" my husband responded with "don't be sorry"...

    This is what really made me upset because not only did he excuse her behavior but said he understood her...I saw RED! He admitted this was a poor way to handle things and is fully supportive of me being petty.

    Mostly about the way she spoke to him when she messaged him at 1151pm. Immediately upon messaging him she started to try and deflect blame to him for the encounters and minimizing all their previous interactions. Tried to say I'm crazy for stalking her husband to get his number and he didn't need to go to management and that I probably forced my husband to do this.

    This is where he got at her and told her she needs to stop lying to herself and her husband deserves better. He told her he had nothing to do with what I did but "she most certainly tried stabbing the wrong in the back and to please enjoy a taste of her own medicine" 1.2k Reply Share

    Me: I'd like to keep him out of this because it was her who approached him multiple times and isn't taking the hint. Again I'm sorry. Him: no, thank you I would rather know. Me: good luck Steve. Bye Him: bye thank you This is the basic tone of it with some of the words maybe being slightly different 221 Reply Share
