My Wife Was in a Coma and I Read Her Diary for Comfort, I Wish I Never Had

A 39-year-old man wrote to our editorial seeking guidance on his extremely problematic family situation. His statement seemed like a genuine cry for help, and the man appeared desperate. He found and read his wife’s diary, and his actions were justified by the fact that she was in a coma and he only wanted a piece of her. Instead, he was completely devastated by what he discovered about his spouse’s nature and actions.

It all started with a bad accident in the family.

A distraught 39-year-old man wrote to us and shared his incredibly awful family tragedy. He begged for no judgement and hoped to receive assistance from us and our readers regarding his problematic family situation.

He began his letter by adding, “I hope I have written to the right place to get some advice.” I can’t talk to anyone about it, and I doubt I’ll be able to share my tale with my closest family members.»

The man continues, saying that his beloved wife has suffered from a bad accident some time ago. This accident resulted in her being in an 8-day coma. He explained, «When my spouse went into the coma, it is obvious that no one really knew at the time how long it was going to last. I thought that it would be months, and maybe even years, before my wife would ever wake up. I was not even sure if she actually would wake up from that coma, and it felt for me like I had lost her already.»

The man described his feelings at that moment, saying, «I was absolutely broken, I was destroyed with grief and all that uncertainty was killing me. Every day that was passing with no optimistic news just plunged me deeper into despair.»

The man also stated that their connection had always been practically perfect. He said, “We’ve been married for 15 years.” We’ve traveled all over the world together. I can honestly claim that she is my best friend, and I am hers. I imagined my life would end if the doctors told me my wife would go brain dead or not wake up.

The man decided to seek some comfort in reading his wife’s diary.

The man admitted that he was completely desperate about the whole scenario. One night, he sat in their bedroom, feeling terrible.

He stated, “I felt emotionally and physically drained by it all.” That was another day without good news. I chose to lie on her side of the bed because I could smell her through the pillows, which made me feel comforted.

The man explained that his wife applied lotion every night before going to bed, and he opened the drawer to get the bottle of lotion from there because he wanted to smell it. Then he noticed his wife’s diary there.

He explained, “I’ve never handled her items before, and I knew about the diary but never opened it. That night, all I wanted was a bit of my sweetheart; I was hurting greatly. I could have reviewed our old texts or anything, but logical thinking wasn’t one of my strong suits back then. I understand it’s not a good justification, but it is what it is.»

So, he started to read his wife’s diary. The man revealed that his wife wrote her entries days or months apart. Her diary was started about 4 years ago. And while reading it, the man slowly felt how his hair was standing on end, because of what his beloved wife was writing in her diary.

The man revealed another side of his wife’s personality.

 

The man wrote, «From the start, I was terrified that almost all of the diary entries were angry ones. They were about female friends or social media followers. My beloved spouse wrote long paragraphs about how they were ugly and not talented and described their every negative trait.»

«She would become absolutely infuriated if a woman ever followed me on social media or if we met some female friend in real life. My wife wrote long pages about each of these women and how she wanted to see their lives destroyed.»

The man revealed that his wife turned to be very angry that he «had all the attention» and didn’t just delete his female followers online. She was furious if a woman followed her husband’s account and didn’t also immediately do the same with her account because «he is my husband, she must respect my feelings and show that she doesn’t have any intentions towards my man.»

The man was totally shocked, and he also understood many things at once.

The man revealed that, while reading his wife’s diary he found out that she made long rants how all women around him were actively trying to disrespect their marriage by every action they made, even the most innocent one.

He highlighted that all his wife’s emotions were absolutely pointless, because, as he explained, «None of the women she was angry about has ever written to me an inappropriate message, none of them acted in any other manner except a friendly one towards me. All these people were actually hometown friends or schoolmates.»

The man doesn’t know what to do with all information that he discovered.
