Today, I had to call a plumber out to clear a blockage in our bathroom drainpipe. After coming back from work later in the day, and after a tearful confession from my wife, I found out that pipe wasn't the only one he snaked. FML

Today, my sink seemed to be filling up with dirty water. Concerned, I turned on the garbage disposal and plunged away. With no change in the water levels, I called a plumber. He reached in, pulled out the drain plug, and give me his bill while chuckling to himself. FML

Today, due to an unforeseen pipe-related incident, I had to shave my legs in my backyard fish pond, while a plumber assessed the damage to my war-zone of a bathroom. FML

Today, I was speeding home, bursting to take a crap. I pulled into my driveway and made it inside, before my wife told me the plumber was still working on our pipes. I ended up having to take a crap in my own backyard, behind a tree. FML

Today, when I got home from work, my fiancé was finishing up with the plumber who had just installed new fixtures for our shower. I decided that I was going to be the first to break it in. I went to the bathroom, got undressed and went to start the water. The OTHER plumber was still in there. FML

Today, at work, the only toilet in the building was so clogged that it was overflowing. We didn't have a plunger, so basically the only way to stop it was to try and reach in and remove the blockage. I was nominated to do it. FML

Today, sewage came up the toilet and tub in my apartment and spread far enough to get into the hallway. The maintenance crew found the source of the blocked pipes to be a ten inch long weave some idiot flushed down a toilet. FML

Today, I was about to get it on with a girl in the bathroom of my friend's house at a party. Just when things started getting heated, a pipe burst. Literally. There was water everywhere and everyone had to evacuate the building. I was cockblocked by poor plumbing. FML

Today, there was a potluck at my girlfriend's house. I had a sour stomach, so I went to the bathroom to relieve myself. When I flushed, nothing happened. They had to call a plumber to fix the toilet filled with my crap. The whole family watched, noses plugged and faces cringed, looking at me. FML

Today, I clogged the only toilet at work. Thinking I could escape and blame someone else, I opened the door, only to see a line of people waiting outside. FML

Call his company and tell them he's fraternizing with the clients. Get his ass fired.

At least she was honest and told you immediately instead of covering it up for months or years.

I understand what you're going through. If you still love your wife and you willing to get help then by all mean go get it. I know the images are imprinted in your head but time will heal. You have to be strong and patient. Nobody wants to get divorce. The key is... communication, talk with her and find out the why she did it and take it from there. Good luck.

Oh god, these comments are horrifying. You really need to consider the very-real possibility that your wife was raped. I'm not saying she was, but IF she was it's entirely possible she blames herself for "letting" it happen and would cry and apologize to you afterwards. (Just reading the comments here should tell you exactly where THAT kind of idea comes from.) PLEASE investigate this further before you get angry because there's a non-zero chance here that something terrible happened to your wife and you're abandoning her when she needs you most. Just asking once is not good enough. Victims often blame themselves. Again, I'm not saying that is the case, but it absolutely has to be considered and it clearly hasn't been.

People are judgmental and think that everything is black and white. I earlier said that OPs wife may have been raped, but no one wants to think about that. People are just assuming that OPs wife is just a ****, but her reaction clearly shows that is not the case.

I'm glad I'm not the only one who thinks she might have been raped and it wasn't her fault.

Divorce her NOW!!! Don't try and fix it. If she'll cheat on you that fast on a whim. You'll NEVER be able to trust that cheating **** again. Sorry for your heartache.

She betrayed you in a way you can't forgive. But she also _told_ you immediately after. Actually give that divorce some thought. Oh, and yeah. Call the company-milkman babies are not okay and he needs a shred of professionalism. Life isn't supposed to have the plot of bad ****.

Your wife watches way to much ****, and i guess you didn't take the guy seriously when he said he will put his snake in your drain

In wife's defense, at least she admitted right away that this incident happened. Although I would be 99% sure to still divorce my spouse if he cheated... Good luck!
