Waitress Was Flirting with My Husband and He Went along with It \u2013 I Taught Them a Good Lesson Later<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jenny has been married to Mark for eight years, with their relationship facing its ups and downs. But when Mark openly flirts with another woman in front of her, Jenny starts to play by his games. When she arranges a dinner with the new woman, both of them are floored to find that Mark is seeing a third woman as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI heard you\u2019re single now,\u201d my sister said, giving me a box of chocolates and flopping onto the couch beside me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cYeah,\u201d I said. \u201cAfter eight years of being married to Mark, it\u2019s finally over.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cHow? What happened?\u201d she asked, sipping her tea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt\u2019s either my husband thought that I was very stupid or he chose to be anything but a decent human.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is how my marriage ended:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mark and I had been married for eight years. Sure, we had our ups and downs, but our relationship was mostly strong.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We had given up the option of having children because we wanted to focus on ourselves and travel and just live life to the best of our abilities. But then, I couldn\u2019t shake the feeling that something was off.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One Friday evening we decided to go out for dinner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cDon\u2019t worry about cooking, Jenny,\u201d Mark said. \u201cLet\u2019s just go out and live a little.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As we were seated, a young waitress approached our table, her smile wide and her eyes fixed on my husband.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cGood evening! I\u2019m Gemma, and I\u2019ll be taking care of you tonight,\u201d she said, her voice a little too cheerful.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cNice to meet you, Gemma,\u201d Mark said, meeting her tone of cheer. \u201cWe\u2019ll start our evening with a bottle of your best red. And I look forward to you taking care of us.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I could have gagged. This wasn\u2019t like the Mark I knew.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"A<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

\u201cHere\u2019s your wine,\u201d Gemma said, returning with the bottle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

She leaned in a little too close as she poured, her arm brushing against Mark\u2019s as a blush ran up his face.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He seemed to love the attention.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"A<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAre you ready to order?\u201d she asked, batting her eyelashes at Mark, completely ignoring my presence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mark ordered our meal and promptly picked up his phone the moment she left.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"A<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAren\u2019t we going to talk?\u201d I asked him, pouring my own glass of wine because Gemma hadn\u2019t bothered to do her job.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe don\u2019t need to,\u201d he said. \u201cEverything is fine, isn\u2019t it?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"A<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

If he saw my grimace, my husband didn\u2019t acknowledge it. When Gemma returned with our meals, she made sure to place Mark\u2019s napkin on his lap.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI made sure that your chicken was extra spicy,\u201d she said, her tongue stressing the syllables.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Plates<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI think that\u2019s enough,\u201d I said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt\u2019s just good fun, honey,\u201d Mark said, winking at the waitress. \u201cNothing\u2019s wrong with having a bit of a flirt.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Throughout the meal, I watched as Gemma lingered by our table, ready to top off Mark\u2019s wine or glass of water before they were empty.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"A<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIs there anything else I can get you?\u201d she asked.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cJust your recommendation for the best dessert here,\u201d Mark said, taking her arm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Gemma giggled loudly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"A<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI\u2019ll bring you my favorite. And, it\u2019s on the house.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When the dessert came, there was only one slice of cheesecake on the table.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But things got even weirder.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My heart sank when I saw him discreetly slip her his phone number on a napkin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWhat the hell, Mark?\u201d I asked him in the car.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cRelax, Jenny,\u201d he said. \u201cIt\u2019s not like she\u2019s going to use it.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That night, after Mark had fallen asleep, I checked his phone. Sure enough, there were messages from Gemma. And of course, there was flirty banter going back and forth between them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

They even arranged to meet soon. She said that she had the next night off.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"A<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

\u201cNot on my watch,\u201d I said to myself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The next day, I sent Gemma a message pretending to be my husband. I invited her to the same restaurant for a date and said that I simply couldn\u2019t wait to see her again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"A<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

\u201cHi, Sheila,\u201d I said to Mark\u2019s mother when I called her after. \u201cMark got a promotion at work, and I just want to celebrate him. So, let\u2019s do a surprise tonight?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOf course, darling!\u201d Sheila exclaimed on the phone. \u201cJust give me the details, and we\u2019ll be there.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"An<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

I repeated the same story with Mark\u2019s brother and sister. I wasn\u2019t about to go down without a fight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When I sat down and thought about it, it was the disrespect that broke my heart more than anything. Mark didn\u2019t seem to have any issues or reservations with entertaining another woman in front of me. He didn\u2019t bother about my feelings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And when I tried to talk about it, he had dismissed me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"A<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

\u201cHow many other women have there been?\u201d I asked myself in the mirror. \u201cThis man is sick.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But still, even though I had Mark\u2019s family planned, I wanted more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To ensure maximum impact, I phoned the restaurant and asked for the manager.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"A<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

\u201cMr. Jenson,\u201d I said as the man introduced himself on the phone. \u201cI need to lay a formal complaint about one of your employees. She\u2019s brought nothing but shame to your establishment.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWhat?\u201d he asked, bewildered. \u201cTell me who it is, and I\u2019ll fix this immediately.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I told him my plan, and he agreed to be present at the evening\u2019s great reveal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The evening arrived, and I dressed to the nines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt\u2019s going to be wasted on him,\u201d I said to myself as I changed. \u201cBut it\u2019s about the satisfaction of it all.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"A<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

I made sure to arrive at the restaurant ahead of time. Mark had already left to his friend\u2019s house to watch sport.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The only thing that I hoped didn\u2019t happen was any interaction between Mark and Gemma during the day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But I didn\u2019t have to worry about that because Gemma was already there, looking excited and nervous, waiting for her date.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"A<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

I saw Mark\u2019s family seated at a table close to Gemma, oblivious to what was happening.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cHi, Gemma,\u201d I said. \u201cI\u2019m Mark\u2019s wife. I believe you\u2019re here for a date with my husband?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI didn\u2019t know that he was married,\u201d she said stupidly. \u201cI thought that you were friends or siblings because you barely spoke to each other.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"People<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOf course not,\u201d I replied. \u201cBut we are married. And this is Mark\u2019s family.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I gestured to the table of Mark\u2019s family, who were hanging on my every word.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cEveryone, I wanted you all to see the kind of man that Mark has become. He flirted with this woman right in front of me and has begun talking to her since we left the restaurant. This is the respect that he shows to our marriage and family.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sheila gasped loudly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"A<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

\u201cMy goodness,\u201d she said. \u201cMark would never!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At that moment, Mr. Jenson, the restaurant manager, approached us from the corner of the room.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWhat\u2019s going on here?\u201d he asked, his eyes narrowing as he looked at Gemma. \u201cWhy are you here on your night off?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cShe\u2019s here on a supposed date with my husband,\u201d I said. \u201cThis is the type of behavior that your staff engages in.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"An<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

\u201cGemma, is this true?\u201d he asked.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Gemma stammered, her face bright red as her dream night evaporated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI didn\u2019t know that he was married,\u201d she repeated to her boss.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Just then, Sheila gasped again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cDarling,\u201d she said. \u201cTell me that everything Jenny said isn\u2019t true. And that we\u2019re here for your promotion dinner!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"An<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

I was floored. Mark had walked out of the house in sweatpants, claiming that he was going to his friend\u2019s house. But here he was, dressed up and ready to meet\u2026 Gemma?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWhat\u2019s going on?\u201d he asked, turning to look at another woman who was sitting by herself, waiting for him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"A<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

A shocked man | Source: Pexels<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cReally, Mark?\u201d I asked. \u201cAnother woman? Not even your waitress?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Gemma pushed her chair back and ran to the bathroom, her shoes smacking against the wooden floors as she went.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI\u2019ve had enough. You\u2019ve crossed a line, and now everyone knows the truth,\u201d I said, suddenly feeling dizzy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cJenny,\u201d he said, \u201cplease, let\u2019s just talk about this privately. Let\u2019s go home.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"A<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThere\u2019s absolutely nothing to talk about! You disrespected our marriage. And now, you can face the consequences.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Before I could leave, my sister-in-law, Helen, approached me. \u201cJenny, wait,\u201d she said quietly. \u201cAre you sure about this? This is a lot to take in.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cYes,\u201d I said firmly. \u201cI\u2019ve given Mark chances before. This was the final straw.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"A<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

I walked out of the restaurant and drove home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cSo, you planned a dinner with the waitress, but he was actually there with another woman?\u201d my sister asked, finally realizing the weight of the story.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cYes,\u201d I said. \u201cI couldn\u2019t tell if I felt foolish or liberated. It was the last thing I needed before finally letting go of my marriage.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"A<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

\u201cNow what?\u201d she asked.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cNow, I make sure that when the divorce papers are ready, that they clearly say that Mark will leave with absolutely nothing.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What would you have done?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
