Not sure if anyone has seen this in the news. If you've ever felt weak or ashamed or pathetic or humiliated in the wake of your X's affair, this story should give you some validation.
An Australian academic who spent 800 days in an Iranian prison discovered her husband was having an affair with their mutual colleague while she was in jail.
She found out from her mother the day she returned to the country following her long imprisonment. She suspected something was up when her husband didn't even bother to call and say "I'm happy you're free."
The jail sentence was described as psychological torture-- she was housed in solitary confinement, kept freezing cold, blasted with constant noise and light, and beaten by guards.
And yet she admitted that her husband's betrayal was harder for her to process.
