She discovered the betrayal when she was pregnant with their second child.
The anonymous Redditor, u/racheljobe, shared how she delivered justice in a post shared to the petty revenge forum.
She explained that the incident happened six years ago when her husband failed to come home one night.
“I was pregnant with our second child, our first was 5,” she said.
She discovered that he had an affair with her best friend and worse, was leaving her for the friend.
Once things were set into motion, she even remembered packing his things for him to move out.
“It was right after Easter, and we had about 4 dozen Easter eggs laying around,” she said.
In her anger, she made good use of the eggs.
“I took every single one of them, put them in every pants and shirt pocket, smashed them in the pocket, folded and placed them neatly in a garbage bag,” she said.
Years later, she found out what happened to the clothes after they maintained a decent co-parenting relationship.
“He told me a few years later he had that bag of clothes sitting in his car for a few weeks and thought there was a rotting animal in his trunk because of the smell,” she said.
“He had to throw all of those clothes away, we both laughed and agreed he definitely deserved it.”
People took to the comments to share their thoughts on her revenge tactic.
“Eggcellent revenge,” said one commenter.
“Really shelled out the petty revenge with that one,” agreed another.
Others were simply glad things worked out between the two of them, although it couldn’t have been… over easy.
“Great revenge, and he’s cool for taking it and being a good co-parent. Your kids are very fortunate!” said one commenter.
