Man Divorces Wife After Seeing This Photo

We are constantly glued to social media and smartphones. Instagram, Telegram, Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest, so many platforms are there to document every minor and major event of our lives. And since cameras are now a mandatory part of every smartphone and other handheld devices, sharing photos and videos with your loved ones when they are away from you seems like the best way to stay in touch.

However, as they say, with blessings come bane. Digital communications are an easy way to stay updated about your loved ones, but a slight error or glitch can even drive you apart. This ease of access to media and technology also has its fair share of pros and cons. That’s what happened to Iris from Portugal. She sent her photo to her husband, who was away for work, and he decided to part ways with her. What could’ve been wrong with it? Today, we will share their whole story and its twisted ending.

Meet Iris and Thomas- two young, ambitious and successful individuals. They had everything going in their favor. They were beautiful and very talented, and their friends considered them a match made in heaven. It is definitely hard to find true love in today’s age, so everyone thought they were lucky to hit the bull’s eye and find each other.

Iris had recently finished her education. She graduated from a fashion school and was keen on pursuing a career in the world of fashion. On the other hand, the handsome hunk Thomas was in the insurance sector and had a suitable, well-paying job. He was a dedicated employee. However, the only thing that irked Iris the most was that Thomas had to go away for many days because of his job. Being away from your partner is never a good feeling, and in the end, they both have to pay its price…..

Iris was a stunningly beautiful girl. She was well-educated, stylish, and had a pleasant sense of humor. This quality made her even more attractive to people. Iris had recently graduated and was looking for a job in the fashion industry. In short, her life was going in the right direction.

The only thing lacking in her life was companionship. She was still single and ready to mingle. But, Iris was unable to find a suitable match for her. Her friends were surprised that she couldn’t find the right man for herself. After all, she was gorgeous. Men frequently bought her drinks and asked her out. However, the problem with Iris was that she had social anxiety. That was what was holding her back. Her friends realized this issue and found a way to deal with it.

Iris’s friend asked her to give dating apps a try. Most of her friends have found their matches through dating apps. That’s why they believed in its effectiveness. So, Iris was encouraged to try her luck. She was initially reluctant, like always, but she found it a bit more convenient since it was a digital platform. She had all the time in the world to know the person before actually meeting the guy.

What Iris found most unrealistic is meeting a stranger for dinner and spending time with them. It was something that intensified her social anxiety more. But, she also wanted to find true love. Almost all her friends were either married or in a relationship while she was still looking for love. When they met, Iris always felt isolated and incomplete. So, was using a dating app a good idea?

Although reluctantly and nervously, Iris finally created her account on a dating app, which her friends referred to her. This was the very first time Iris was trying on her own to find her match. So far, men themselves contacted her and asked her out. So, there were mixed feelings in her heart regarding what would happen now.

Many questions thwarted her mind the instant she registered on the website. Will she find true love? Will people consider her desirable enough to contact her? And similar other confusing thoughts plagued her mind. She was skeptical whether the dating app ever worked or not. Soon enough, she realized that it had a dark side to it. She was bombarded with indecent messages from men from different parts of the world. She found those messages gross, and one day she decided to block her account.

Just when Iris was about to hit that deactivate your account button, a message popped up on her display screen. She was surprised and halted the deactivation process for some time. Iris wanted to check this last message before fully giving up hope. And it turned out to be a good one. This message was from a handsome guy named Thomas. His message was pretty cute, and Iris instantly felt attracted to him.

Finally, there was someone who had some decency and etiquette. The two exchanged a few chat sessions, which became an all-day-long thing. They were constantly on phones talking to each other. Within no time, Iris realized that she was falling for this guy. Now, she had to meet him in person and surprisingly, she didn’t feel anxious or nervous at all. Instead, all she could feel was excitement, thrill, and happiness. But they had no idea that there was a surprise in store.

From that very first glance Thomas and Iris shared with each other, they felt the spark. Thomas instantly felt drawn towards this gorgeous woman, and for Iris, he turned out to be the man of her dreams, her knight in shinning armor. For both of them, it was love at first sight.

They had a great time together and decided to meet again. The best thing that happened during their first meeting was that Thomas helped calm down and ease her social anxiety. Soon enough, they met frequently and spent almost all of their free time together. Clearly, they were in love. But were they ready to get committed?

Thomas was thinking of proposing to Iris. He was ready to take their relationship to the next level, but he was confused about her feelings. Did she also feel the same way about him as he did? His gut feeling told him that she indeed was ready to tie the knot with him.

So, Thomas started planning for the grand proposal. He quickly picked the perfect romantic spot. It was a tropical, secluded resort where the two could spend some quality time together without anyone’s interruption. And then the moment he had been waiting for so long arrived when Thomas told Iris about the surprise getaway. Iris was in the seventh sky. But that was just one of the many surprises that awaited Iris on that trip.

Iris started packing her stuff, and days went by quickly. It was now time to get off to their romantic paradise. After they landed at their destination, the two dived straight into holiday mode. Their days were spent soaking up the beachy sun and their evenings entailed exploring the romantic sports of the town. Iris was having the time of her life, and Thomas was happy that she enjoyed it so much.

When it was the last night at the resort, Thomas decided to pop the big question. He took her to the beach, and as they got closer to the water, Iris noticed a board with bright lights spelling out a question… It wasn’t just any question. She had been waiting for this question for a lifetime. Thomas had asked her to marry him. Iris got emotional and teary-eyed when she shouted yes. That was the perfect end to an ideal getaway.

Thomas and Iris got engaged on the island. They had been together for a year and thought it was the right time to tie the knot. So, upon their return, both invited their friends to a joint party and shared the surprise. They all were happy and started planning for their wedding.

Iris and Thomas both wanted a small but elegant wedding. They invited their closest family members and friends only. It was a very private affair. But, what mattered was that Iris and Thomas were happy. Their wedding was a beautiful event, and all the guests felt that there was romance in the room.

Soon after their wedding, Thomas and Iris left for their honeymoon. Life seemed beautiful at that time. They had nothing to worry about except for each other’s happiness. Thomas did everything in his capacity to make Iris happy, and she also did the same.

After returning home, Iris busied herself with household chores and decorating the place. They had recently bought an apartment. She had to work from home and had plenty of free time at hand. Thomas, however, wasn’t as lucky and had to go to the office. He was an ambitious person and wanted to earn enough money to provide his wife with a good and satisfying life. But, God always has other plans, and for Thomas, there was something stressful in store right after his wedding.

One day, Thomas received a call from his boss, who told him that the company was undergoing downsizing and he was among those who were fired. It was a massive setback for Thomas. He had used most of his savings on his wedding, and now Iris was the sole breadwinner. He felt defeated for the first time.

On the other hand, Iris was also going through a financial crunch. She had spent huge sums of money on her new apartment’s furnishing, and now that Thomas wasn’t earning too, the couple’s life took a massive hit. Thomas had to find a new job as quickly as he could. He tried everywhere and luckily got a call from a firm. It turned out to be the turning point of his career and marriage as well.

Thomas was relieved to get employed again. He had seen a hard time while hunting for a job and earned it after a dozen unsuccessful interviews. The only thing that kept him motivated towards his end goal was his determined approach. After every failed interview, he didn’t feel defeated or hopeless because he looked at Iris and found his motivation.

He had gotten employed at an insurance firm as an insurance agent. Since Thomas was desperate for a job, he spent no time thinking when he got the call. However, now that he was officially a part of the firm, he was worried about Iris’s reaction. His job required him to be away for many days. Iris never liked this arrangement even before. Iris bid him farewell on his first trip with a kiss and a lovely smile. She was trying her best to be supportive of her husband.

The first trip away from his wife was hellish. Thomas kept thinking about Iris, and the same was her case. Both were mostly on-call during their non-working hours. Thomas was told that he would get promoted within six months if he kept traveling constantly. This was a good enough reason to travel out of the city.

When he returned home after his first successful trip, Iris was excited. She had decorated the whole house with candles, cooked his favorite meal, and they spent a great time together. Thomas promised her that he won’t have to go away for a long time now and was home. But, his boss had other plans.

Thomas received a call from his employer telling him that one of his colleagues had gotten sick and now he had to fill in. This employee was required to make many week-long business trips in a month. Thomas had enough experience to perform this job until the employee recovered.

But, this caused tension between Thomas and Iris. She was unhappy because he would be away most of the time. Thomas had no say in this matter, and he had to accept the offer. This way, two years went by. Thomas and Iris met each other on alternate weekends only, and during the weekdays, he was away on the road for his job while she stayed home, alone. Thomas felt guilty for making his wife lonely, while Iris felt betrayed and sad.

The hard work was paying off, and Thomas received good feedback from his boss. He had been promoted and got a raise as well. Iris still supported him since the income was reasonable enough to help them live a luxurious life. But emotionally, she felt numb.

For most of the time, Iris kept herself busy decorating the place. But then came a time that this arrangement started frustrating her. She could only communicate with her husband through messaging apps or social media. That wasn’t what she had expected from marriage.

A few more years passed, and Thomas’s routine remained the same. Things weren’t as easy for Iris anymore, and she was now openly expressing her growing resentment. Thomas didn’t listen because he knew he was pretty close to getting promoted, and once he did, he won’t need to go away at all.

It isn’t that Thomas didn’t miss Iris. He loved her a lot and wanted to be with her, but now his business trips required him to make foreign trips too. This was way too much for Iris to handle, and she was visibly unhappy. Giving up hope, she messaged Thomas, informing him that she wanted this routine to change. Thomas had to take a hard decision now.

Thomas wanted to save his marriage with Iris and was ready to change his career. So, he started looking for job opportunities close to their home. He had gained plenty of experience from his previous job. Therefore, he was sure he would get a better job where he won’t have to travel so much this time.

While Thomas was on a job hunt, he made a mistake not taking his wife onboard this decision. He was happy with the decision but was waiting for the right time to reveal it to her when he got the appointment letter. That would prove the purity of his love and sincerity of feelings to Iris. However, sometimes, surprises can cause more harm than good.

Several weeks and many, many job interviews later, Thomas finally landed the job of his dreams. He was out of the city and was expected to be back home after a week. Thomas was thrilled to share this news with his wife, but he wanted to do it in person and not on the phone. He longed to tell her that things would become normal again very soon.

However, back at home, Iris was a changed person. She was a victim of severe loneliness and neglect from her husband, which took a toll on her personality. When Thomas arrived home, he noticed changes in her behavior. She wasn’t the same person anymore. As soon as he entered the home, Iris started shouting at him, and the two had a huge fight.

Thomas, who was eager to share the big news with her, felt defeated. He had been working day and night to make amends, but Iris was not ready to listen to anything. So, he decided to leave the house that night and went to a bar. He had no idea this decision would have such a lasting impact on his life.

While drinking beer at a local bar, he saw a gorgeous woman sitting right across from him. As the two locked eyes, they felt attracted and started chatting. Soon enough, they were sitting together, drinking, and talking. Eventually, they got intoxicated, and Thomas found himself drawn towards this mystery woman.

Thomas couldn’t help feeling attracted towards this lady, who was gently caressing his hair and trying to comfort him despite being strangers a few hours ago. She asked him to come to her place for the night, and he agreed. He wanted to be with her too.

It’s not that Thomas didn’t love Iris anymore. He really did, and he felt guilty for staying the night in the hotel room with that woman. However, he did it all in the spur of the moment and didn’t actually want to get involved in infidelity. Thomas thought this encounter would threaten his marriage, but he had no idea it would be something else that would lead to their divorce.

Thomas knew if he told Iris about this encounter with that woman from the bar, Iris would leave him there and then. He knew her very well by then. Already she was furious, and now when she would learn that Thomas has cheated on her, Iris would not take it lightly. Therefore, Thomas decided to keep the one-night-stand a secret from Iris to save his marriage.

So, he called Iris and told her that he was on the last trip and finally came back home for good. Iris couldn’t believe it. She sounded thrilled to know that her husband would come back to her soon. Iris told him that she was looking forward to seeing him. Thomas was also eagerly waiting for that moment. Meanwhile, Iris sent him a photo of her to tell him that she missed him. This photo changed everything for both of them.

When Thomas received this photo, he had no idea about the dirty secret hidden inside. He looked at Iris and praised the beauty of his wife. This photo wasn’t much different from the other photos Iris had been sending him lately. She is sitting on their bed casually, which is nothing unusual for Thomas.

But then, his eyes caught a glimpse of something. Thomas got curious to know what it was because this little detail was never a part of her photos. He became uneasy as he felt a hand was reaching out from under the bed. He zoomed in on this detail to validate his finding, and what he learned shocked him to the core. Perhaps, Iris had forgotten to remove this detail. Thomas felt betrayed, so he decided to confront Iris about it.

Thomas immediately called Iris and asked her about that hand. Initially, she refused to acknowledge but finally gave in and accepted that she had been seeing someone lately. Iris started sobbing uncontrollably, saying that she felt lonely and ignored because Thomas was away all the time and she had no one to get emotional support from.

Hence, she started looking for love elsewhere and got in touch with an old friend of hers. Thomas also knew the guy and felt dejected because he already had a girlfriend. Iris told him that the guy broke up with his girlfriend and reached out to her as he knew she was emotionally distraught. All of this crushed Thomas.

How unbelievable is it that only an hour ago, Thomas and Iris were planning for their future and were happy together, and now Thomas was heartbroken and wanted to part ways with his wife? One photo of her had changed his perspective of her, and he had realized that the damage was far greater than he had thought.

Thomas was no saint himself. He had transgressed too, and he hadn’t told Iris about it at all. Still, he expected Iris to remain sincere to him no matter what. Deep down in his heart, he knew Iris would never forgive him for cheating, and the same was the case with him. Forgiveness would not make their marriage work because they weren’t the same people anymore. He decided to file for a divorce, and this very thought sent him into a deep depression. After they got divorced, he took leave from work and went on a holiday. This vacation proved to be his life’s turning point.

Since Thomas was on leave, he booked a trip to the city in a bid to distract himself from the heartbreak he had suffered recently. He didn’t pick any destination to visit because everywhere he went reminded him of the time he visited that spot with his wife. He wanted to forget about Iris, but somehow nothing was working.

He moved to a new city and started his own marketing firm to keep himself busy. Though the place didn’t excite him much, he would thank heavens for making him select this city sometime later. That’s because he met someone who would change his life for the better.

Thomas was working tirelessly to make his new business venture a success. He would take his laptop and stay focused on his work everywhere he went. So, that morning when he was sipping coffee in a café, he was still engrossed in work. When he was done, he shut down the laptop, and that’s when he saw that beautiful girl enter the coffee shop.

It didn’t take him long to recognize this woman. She was his childhood friend, Angel. How could he forget her? They grew up together, lived in the same neighborhood and went to the same school. Thomas went to her and was surprised that Angel also recognized him in one glance. They had dated when they were in high school, but in their senior year, Angel had moved abroad, due to which they lost contact. This was the first time he was meeting and speaking to her in many years, and he couldn’t help notice that his heart was beating faster and faster.

Angel and Thomas hit it off instantly. They had known each other for so long that it didn’t take them a lot of time to brush off the hesitation and become friendly again. Both were free, so Thomas asked her out for a drink, and Angel happily accepted the offer. She seemed thrilled to have met her childhood friend after so long.

While catching up on their lives, Thomas noted that she looked happily surprised when he told Angel about his divorce from Iris. This was a sign that she still had feelings for him. Thomas was also ready to give love another chance. Angel shared that she missed Thomas a lot when she left and always prayed for their reunion. And this was the ideal time for a reunion because Thomas was single and Angel had recently broken up.

Thomas and Angel started dating each other. They spent a lot of time together, and when they were at their respective homes, they talked on the phone until late at night. Thomas felt happy and drawn back to life. He hadn’t felt so happy in the past few months as he was now. That chance encounter with Angel helped him gain a friend and forget about the haunting memories of the past.

One day, after their dinner date, Angel asked Thomas if he would like to accompany her to her house and stay the night. Thomas didn’t even think for a second and said yes. The two held their hands walked back to Angel’s place, knowing very well that something great was about to happen and their lives would take a pleasant turn.… ❤️
