Three years into our marriage, my wife, Charlotte Reed, never missed a chance to stick with me in bed. All my buddies joked that the wild girl who used to have a thing for male hustlers had finally let go of her party life for me. I believed we really loved each other, so when she got up to her wild tricks in bed, I just gritted my teeth and took it. But then, one day, I scrolled across a question on my feed. [What's the craziest bet you've ever made?] The top comment said: [I once tried to win over a genius guy. He always shot me down, said I was way too much of a flirt, and even made a wild bet with me. [The bet is if I could stay married for three whole years and not mess around with anyone but my husband, he'd say yes to me.] I'd seen that profile pic before—it was Charlotte. Even the school she listed, and the way she always showed off that same red mole on her wrist in her posts—every single thing matched up. Turned out, the girl, who made me think I was her whole world, was loyal to me only because of a bet. Swallowing back my tears, I finished drafting the divorce papers and made the call to my mentor, William Carter.
