I Kissed My Trainer at Our Anniversary Dinner With My Husband Right There. AITA?

Imagine sitting at your 15th wedding anniversary dinner. Your husband just gifted you a $30,000 diamond necklace, your in-laws flew in from out of town, and everyone’s making heartfelt toasts about love and commitment. Seems like a perfect evening, right? Not for the woman at the center of this story.

She had been having a secret affair with her personal trainer for six months—seeking thrills, attention, and the spark she claimed her marriage had lost. And in a move that shocked everyone, she kissed her lover right there at the same restaurant where her husband was celebrating their anniversary with his whole family. The fallout was immediate and brutal. Her sister saw it. Her brother-in-law made a fiery toast calling out infidelity. Her husband walked out, filed for divorce, and took everything. Even the coffee maker.

Now, eight months later, she’s living with her parents, working retail, and watching her ex-husband build a new life without her. But she still wonders—was she really the villain for chasing passion? Or just brutally honest about her needs?
