A Woman Sat Next to Her Husband’s Ex on a Flight—By the Time They Landed, Her Marriage Was Over

The conversation shifts

I tried to shift the conversation to something less personal. “Any travel plans beyond this flight?” I asked, injecting a forced cheerfulness into my tone. She paused briefly before replying, “Not really, just the usual business trips.” Despite my efforts to redirect the focus, an unshakable tension hung in the air, heavy and oppressive. Every new subject felt like navigating a minefield, each word chosen carefully to avoid triggering more uncomfortable truths.

Karma catches up

As the plane jolted through another bout of turbulence, she casually remarked, “Feels like karma catching up, doesn’t it? Funny how the universe has its own way of balancing things out.” Her eyes drifted briefly to the window as she spoke. I stared at her, confused. Karma? What did she mean by that? Was her comment directed at me, my husband, or something else entirely? My curiosity stirred, demanding answers.
