Dying Man Checks Home’s Hidden Camera, Reviews His Will Soon After

After discovering he was diagnosed with stage four pancreatic cancer, he went home to break the news to his wife. But when he got home, he faced another life-changing and heartbreaking reality.

A man in his 60s took it to Reddit to speak openly about the heartbreaking and life-changing news he had received. Since he had to keep most of it a secret, he thought venting to internet strangers would help.

Toward the end of last year, the man’s biggest fear became a reality. He had been doing many tests until doctors finally revealed his stage four pancreatic cancer diagnosis.

He was already aware that his time was limited and that he might be spending his last holiday with his family. However, another part of his life came crashing down.

The man had yet to tell his wife, Jane, about the test results. He figured he would wait until the doctors got to the bottom of everything. So, that afternoon he went home early to break the sad news to his wife.

He found his business partner’s car in the driveway when he arrived. There was no way the car could have belonged to someone else because of its personalized license plate.

Before he could even make any assumptions, the man was already certain that he was not there on business. Instead of entering the house, he looked to see if the security cameras were on and realized they were private, meaning nothing was being recorded.

The distraught husband let it go and drove to his farmhouse because he knew he had another way to find the truth. A few years ago, he had installed a video recorder in addition to the security cameras they already had.

He only checked the security camera if something unusual occurred. But the second camera was for his own entertainment. The father of two loved to watch wildlife and storms coming through, so he went into his footage and saw Jane and his business partner snuggling, drinking wine, and making their way to the bedroom.

Now that his suspicions were confirmed, the husband did not want to confront his wife because he already had limited time to live. However, the betrayal made all the love for his wife go away.

The two were married for over two decades, and the husband felt he did not know the person he married anymore. He did not blame himself because he knew he still worked hard to be romantic, loyal, and present in his marriage.

Although he was unwilling to go through the turmoil of divorce, he still contacted a lawyer to review their prenup and will agreement.

Jane and her husband never had children. The man shares twins from his former relationship with Sarah, but they decided not to get married. Sarah moved on to marry her husband Steve, who has become a friend and a great addition to the family.

Throughout the years, Sarah and her ex have been good co-parents. However, the man admitted that his fatherhood journey was rocky at first, but he started being a doting father when his children were three and has been present ever since. He and Jane married while they were in their 30s, and it was both their first marriage.

The man had made peace with his cancer diagnosis and will continue to try to be a good father, grandfather, and husband because he just wanted to use his last days enjoying the holidays with his family. However, he turned to Reddit because he was looking for a safe space to express his anger and frustrations.

People in the comments gave the man advice on how to handle the situation. Since he wanted to keep his cancer and wife’s affair a secret, commenters advised him to leave a video will where he confesses everything and why his wife would not get any of his fortune.

Another Reddit user added to that comment and said the man should add the footage he found of Jane and his business partner. Several users told him to leave his inheritance to only his children and vent to Sarah and Steve about everything.
