Widow ate her dead husband’s ashes after discovering his cheating

Widow ate her dead husband’s ashes after discovering his cheating

I wonder what type of wine you would pair with this.

A Canadian widow has written a gripping memoir describing how she squandered her late husband’s ashes shortly after learning he had multiple affairs and sought the company of several high-priced escorts.

Mother and essayist Jessica Waite’s husband, Sean, died in 2015 during a business trip to Texas.

In “A Widow’s Guide to Dead Bastards,” Waite recounts how she opened her porn-addicted husband’s iPad to search for the number of the Houston hospital where his body was located and discovered his damning browser history.

Waite writes that when she started typing “Houston” into the browser, it automatically filled with the words “Houston Escorts.”

She also found searches for specific escorts as well as their prices and locations.

But that was just the tip of the iceberg.

Waite spent months uncovering her husband’s secret life and learned that he regularly met with escorts and cheated on her with several women.

Waite also learned that Sean had lied to her about having to work late on certain evenings and instead was busy downloading hundreds of depraved pornographic videos onto his PC, all organized and categorized in different desktop folders.

She even learned that he had rented an apartment in Colorado where he had sex with escorts and women he picked up.

Waite writes in the recently published book that she was unable to come to terms with the reality of her husband’s secret double life and slowly began to lose it.

As she reflected on the man’s betrayal, Waite described cutting open the bag containing his ashes and taking them to her garden, where she mixed some of them into her dog’s feces.

“I desecrated the remains of my life partner,” Waite wrote.

“But then, out of desperation and guilt, he took more of his ashes – and actually ate them. The remains feel dry on my fingertips, coarser than baking soda, grainier than salt. They mix with the tear water, a mineral sludge on my tongue. I swallow.”

Waite admits that in that moment she was “detached from reality” after Sean’s death.

Today, Waite has a new man in her life, but thinks daily about the duplicity of the man she was once married to.

“I feel better and stronger than before, but I still cry almost every day and I still feel like a part of me has died,” Waite wrote.

“Because the part of me that existed inside Sean did.”
