What if your partner developed 21 new identities? Or you discovered that your friend who helped you

through your darkest times was actually a conniving con artist? Or what if you began seeing

demons everywhere inhabiting people, including your own son? What would you do? From Wondery,

this is actually happening is a podcast that brings you extraordinary

true stories of life-changing events told by the people who lived them. In their newest season,

you'll hear even more intimate first-person accounts of how regular people have overcome remarkable

circumstances. From the man who went to jail for 17 years for

accidentally shooting the person who tried to save his life, to one of the close friends of

infamous scam artist Amanda Riley. These haunting accounts sound like Hollywood movies, but I assure

you, this is actually happening. I'm about to play a clip from this is actually

happening. While you're listening, followed This Is Actually Happening on the Wondery app or wherever

you get your podcasts. I knew there's probably something on that phone and I needed to find out what it was because he wasn't going to be honest and tell me.

So his phone was password protected, but I knew my husband well enough, and I figured out the code to his phone. It still sounds crazy to me, but I figured it out.

And I got into his phone and in such a weird place, I found it in the notes app. I looked in the

notes app and there was a link. When I clicked on the link, it had a role of photographs of his coworker, and she was nude.

And so once I had found those photos, he came clean. And he said, it was an inappropriate friendship and that he had lied to me, but he told me the

relationship had never been physical. He said he had never cheated on me. He hadn't kissed her,

he hadn't hugged her, and they had not had sex. And so as devastating as it was to me,

he was repentant and he was sorry.

And, you know, because I was like, do you want our marriage to be done?

You know, like, I don't want to be in a marriage with someone who doesn't want to be married to me.

But I was still, I still loved him at this point.
