My husband secretly took my bank card to take the mistress on a trip. Unexpectedly, at the airport, the customs officer coldly announced a sentence that left both of us stunned…

Minh and I have been married for 7 years and have a young son. Since we got married, I have always thought that my husband is a gentle, hard-working, and responsible man. Minh works for a company, while I do online trading, with a stable income. Every month, we both contribute to one account to spend on family expenses. But because the business is going well, I earn more than my husband, and the bank cards are mainly in my name. Minh knows the password, but I never thought he would take advantage of it.

Minh has changed dramatically lately. He often comes home late, always making excuses for working overtime or meeting with business partners. He keeps his phone close to his chest, not letting anyone touch it. I have doubts, but I have no proof.

One evening, when Minh was taking a shower, his phone on the table vibrated. I accidentally saw the text message:  “Remember to prepare your passport, we are going on vacation tomorrow, I am so excited!”  My heart sank. I trembled as I continued to open the conversation, only to discover that Minh had booked a plane ticket, a luxury hotel, all paid for with… my bank card.

I smiled bitterly. It turned out that the money I worked day and night, saving for the family, was finally secretly taken by my husband to pamper another woman.

That night, I lay awake thinking of ways to expose the truth. I didn’t want to make a fuss in the house for fear of affecting my son, but I also couldn’t let him and the mistress spend my hard-earned money.

The next morning, Minh woke up early, dressed smartly and said to me:
– I have to go on a business trip for a few days, so it won’t be convenient to contact you much. Please take care of the baby.

I smiled awkwardly and just said “yes”. Meanwhile, I quietly called a friend who worked at the airport and asked them to check Minh’s flight information. Soon, my friend reported back: Minh booked a ticket to Thailand, flying that afternoon.

I decided to go to the airport. I didn’t want to cause a scene, but I wanted to see it with my own eyes, so he wouldn’t deny it.

As expected, I saw Minh and a young, stylishly dressed girl, holding hands, appearing at the check-in area. They were laughing and talking happily, looking like a happy couple. I clenched my fists, trying to control my anger.

When the two of them finished the procedures and were about to go through customs, an employee suddenly stopped them. The employee’s cold voice rang out:
– Excuse me, the credit card used to book the ticket shows signs of fraud. We need to invite you two to the office for verification.

Minh was stunned, his face drained of color. The girl beside him turned around and asked in panic:
– What’s wrong? Didn’t you say everything was fine?

I walked over and calmly said:
– That card is mine. He secretly took it to take you on a trip.

The whole area nearby was immediately in an uproar. People looked at me, then at Minh and the other girl with eyes full of contempt.

Minh stammered:
– I… I just wanted to take her out for a trip, I didn’t mean anything…

I smiled faintly:
– What’s the point of taking the hard-earned money of your wife and children and then enjoying it with your lover?

That statement made him speechless. The customs officer sternly asked Minh to sign a statement and informed him that the case could be handled according to the law for the illegal use of a bank account.

The girl saw the trouble and immediately complained:
– You said you were rich, but it was just your wife’s money! You lied to me!

Then she left, leaving Minh sitting there with a humiliated face.

I looked at my husband, my heart broken but also full of determination. I said briefly:
– From now on, we have nothing to do with each other. You deal with the consequences yourself.

Having said that, I turned and walked away, leaving behind his desperate eyes for help.

That day, I felt sad, but also relieved. I realized that a husband who had betrayed my trust and dared to take my bank card to nurture an extramarital affair was not worth holding on to.

I went home and held my son in my arms. He was innocent and didn’t know anything, just smiled innocently. I told myself that from now on I would live stronger and give all my love to my son.

Life may lose a bad husband, but I will never lose my self-respect and faith in myself.
