A woman who found out that her longtime friend was sleeping with her husband decided to leave her wedding dress and a scornful note at her doorstep that the mistress will most likely never forget. Love is a beautiful feeling, but sometimes, it fades away, and those involved start to seek fulfillment elsewhere. When Karen Dineen married Terry Lovell, she thought their fairy tale would last forever until she found proof of his adultery!

Dineen and Lovell’s marriage had lasted almost two decades, but before they got married, she had been mates with an art teacher named Carol and her husband. They socialized together even after her marriage, and the couple’s kids were also friends with Carol’s children. Dineen started suspecting that Carol and Lovell had become too close when she discovered receipts that revealed that her husband had purchased two bottles of an identical perfume but had only given her one.

For months, she kept having that sneaking suspicion that all was not as it seemed; then, one day, she gained access to her husband’s phone. In it, she found a series of raunchy texts between him and Carol, including one that read: The messages also revealed that the pair had even come up with corny nicknames; Carol called him “huggy-bear.”

Then, one day, Lovell called his mobile phone from the house phone, and when Dineen answered it, she called him the same nickname and said:He replied with a “no” because he had no idea that Dineen had access to his phone. Believing she did not have proof, he tried to weasel out of it, but the damage had already been done, and Dineen was done.

A betrayed Dineen threw her husband out and decided to move on by buying a pet Chihuahua who she said was more hygienic, “loyal, and faithful.” While she was clearing out their home, Dineen found her wedding dress and decided that she was better off donating it to Carol, but she also added a sarcastic note that read:
“Hey Carol, I know you love secondhand goods, so thought you might like the dress I wore when I married your boyfriend. Love, Karen xx.”

When Dineen arrived at Carol’s house in Essex, she hung the strapless cream gown on her porch and left a note through the door. Rather than cheating on his wife with a woman he’d known for 25 years, her husband, whom she called the “spawn of the devil,” should have confessed that he no longer wanted to be with her, she said.

Although she was shocked by his admission, she said it would not have been as shocking as what he ended up doing. As of 2019, Dineen thought they were still together, according to the story’s author. Her excitement at slipping the letter through the front door was heightened because she knew there was nothing they could do.

As soon as Dineen saw the texts between the cheating couple, her love for Lovell wilted, and she had moved on. Not only had her ex-husband and a longtime friend been having an affair, but their neighbors and other close friends had also been involved. Most of the people who read about Dineen’s story on Facebook were in favor of what she did.

Another said, “Love it!” and another said, “I feel for the new woman, obviously they split for a reason, go gracefully and show you’re bigger than that.” One user called what she did “brilliant,” while others said, “Love it!” Do you agree with her actions? Was she right in her actions, or should she have accepted her loss peacefully?
