Not telling him what she knows, she rebuilds her life to focus on her, while exacting revenge as quietly as he betrayed her.

And then she has to stick to it when everything finally comes to light.

The job offer of her dreams made Saoirse's heart soar, and her kids were thrilled at the chance to move closer to the mountains to ski. She thought her husband would be excited by the chance to leave the job he hated and stayed at only for the money. Instead he exploded in anger. Convinced by her kids to find out what was going on with their dad, the three tail him and end up discovering what will tear their family apart. But the mountains are calling their names, and the air up there might even make life seem, well, more alive. Saoirse tries to believe forgiveness is the best form of revenge, but a little payback can't hurt, right?

A Hollywood movie star promised his wife he'd stop doing sex scenes in his movies if she'd marry him. She finally agreed and things were great for years. Until the scripts weren't coming in for Mack like they used to. He caved to his agent's pressure and went behind his beloved Oriana's back and did a sex scene. He was going to tell her after the premiere when she came back from being overseas for work. But Oriana surprised him at the premiere -- and she ended up being surprised. Then Mack got a surprise and realized he might not be able to save his marriage.

He cheated on me right before the NFL draft. He blew up our dreams and for three years, I refused to talk to him or talk about him. Then one summer, when I was home unexpectedly, he came home, too. Guy was done being ignored. And he was done living without me.

He's a gorgeous model. She has severe acne scarring. It doesn't help when she hears him brutally disparage her looks. So she teaches him a verbal lesson in humanity. That should have been that. So why won't he stop calling her?

At our gender reveal, my husband joked about getting my sister pregnant with a boy. Everybody thought that was hilarious. Except me.

I'm married to a cover model/tattoo artist who swore his ex was history. She wasn't, as I was about to discover.

Have you ever been taken for granted around the holidays? Everything falling on your shoulders and no one helps or expresses their appreciation? This year, I was done being overlooked. And I let it be known in no uncertain terms. Then everything fell apart, and I had to put myself back together.

I've dreamed of the perfect marriage ever since I was a little girl: a marriage complete with a hardworking husband while I tended to the home and our children, preferably four little rugrats to call my own. I dreamed of a life filled with laughter, joy, and success, a life we built together. I dreamed of growing old next to my husband, creating a great love story to tell our grandchildren someday. It all seemed so possible. I was raised to be the perfect wife, after all. From the outside, it seemed I had exactly what I dreamed of with the rich, determined husband; the brilliant, gaudy diamond ring; and the beautiful home filled with the hope of future children. Yes, it was all a dream come true. I should have felt grateful, really. The problem is, I also wanted a marriage based on love, passion, and affection, but those are the only things my husband cannot give me . . . . . . because they're reserved for her.

Alex had been my friend with benefits, and like a stupid cliche, I had to go and fall in love with him. I thought...I really thought...he was falling in love with me, too. Getting ready for a serious relationship. And he was. Just...not with me. He told me he wanted to find a girl just like me...
