MY WIFE GAVE AWAY MY CATS! WHAT SHOULD I DO??
Today, I came home to the kind of silence that punches you in the gut.
At first, I thought maybe they were just sleeping somewhere — Max curled up on the windowsill, Oliver napping under the couch, Luna tucked away in her favorite basket. I called out to them like I always do, expecting to hear the soft thud of paws or the familiar jingling of their collars.
But there was nothing. Just an empty, hollow stillness.
When I finally found my wife, Rachel, sitting on the couch scrolling through her phone like it was any other day, I asked her where the cats were. That’s when she casually said, “Oh, I gave them away. I couldn't take the shedding anymore.”
She said it like she was talking about throwing out an old rug.
I stared at her, thinking I must have misheard. Max, Oliver, and Luna — they weren't just pets. They were family. They had been with me long before I ever met Rachel. They were there when I moved into my first apartment. They sat with me through breakups, career failures, and personal losses. They were there when no one else was.
And she gave them away... without even asking me.
I tried to stay calm. I asked her where she took them, who she gave them to, anything — but she refused to tell me. She just kept repeating, "They're in good hands," as if that was supposed to soothe me.
But it doesn’t. It can't.
Every part of me feels violated, betrayed in a way I can't even put into words. I had been diligent about cleaning up after them — vacuuming fur twice a week, scrubbing their litter boxes daily. I made sure they were never a burden on her. I thought we had found a way to coexist peacefully.
Apparently, she saw it differently.
What hurts the most is how easy it seemed for her — how little regard she had for what they meant to me. She didn’t talk to me about it, didn’t suggest rehoming them together, didn’t offer any compromise. She made a unilateral decision that tore a hole right through the foundation of our marriage.
If she could do this — something so heartless, so dismissive of something that mattered deeply to me — what else is she capable of deciding without me?
Now I'm sitting here questioning everything. Was our relationship ever truly a partnership? Or was it just easier for her to pretend until something inconvenient got in the way?
I love Rachel. At least, I thought I did. But this... this feels like a betrayal I can't come back from.
I honestly don’t know what to do. Part of me thinks maybe I’m overreacting — that it’s just "cats," and people would tell me to "get over it." But another part of me knows deep down that this crosses a line. A fundamental lack of respect for my feelings, my history, and the things I hold dear.
Right now, the house feels like a stranger's home. Their toys are gone. Their scratching posts. Their beds. It's like Rachel erased a piece of my life without a second thought.
I keep looking at the front door, half-hoping Max will come trotting around the corner, tail high in the air, or that Luna will meow softly from the stairs. But they’re not coming back.
And maybe neither is my trust in her.
Am I wrong for thinking about divorce over this?
How do you rebuild trust after something like this?
Because honestly... I don't know if I can.
