‘It’s Time to Get Divorced!’: The Message on My Anniversary Cake Led Me to a Shocking Truth — Story of the Day
On our first anniversary, I waited in my best dress for Thomas, but a cake arrived with golden lettering: “It’s time to get divorced!” Shocked, I flew to confront the truth.
I loved our marriage—warm, filled with laughter and late-night talks. I spent weeks planning the perfect anniversary, perfecting duck à l’orange and buying Thomas a designer tie he’d admired. But he called, casually mentioning an emergency business trip. Hurt, I received a mysterious cake with a note implying infidelity.
My mother-in-law, Gloria, called, mentioning a ring I never received and suggesting I surprise Thomas at his hotel. Suspicious, I booked a flight. At the hotel, a smug woman answered Thomas’s door, his clothes on the bed. Furious, I smashed the cake in her face. Then, Gloria appeared, admitting she orchestrated the scene to break us up, favoring the other woman, Alicia.
I revealed I’d called Thomas, leaving the line open. His angry voice confirmed he’d heard everything. Gloria’s plan crumbled. In the lobby, Thomas apologized, and we shared a quiet dinner. He gave me a stunning ring, and we laughed, reclaiming our night. I knew Gloria would try again, but I’d proven I wasn’t easily broken.
