Transcript: My Husband Lied To Me: What Is D-Day?

Anne: Women who discover something awful about their husband always remember the day they found out. We frequently call D-day or discovery day, and generally they realize, “My husband lied to me.” It could stand for destruction day. Women who go through this divide time by before and after. Over the years, I’ve heard hundreds of thousands of D-Day stories. If you’re listening, I want you to think about your D-Day or how many D-Days you have. Some women have multiple D-days.

My Personal D-Day Story When My Husband Lied To Me

Anne: My first D-day is when my husband lied to me and said. “I’ve used porn a few times in the last few weeks, and I worry I might be a porn addict. So I’m going to start attending 12 step meetings for sex addicts. I’m so sorry. I’ll never do it again. I will totally get on top of this.”

My second D- day is when I find out my husband lied to me many times. About all the lies he told and how much porn he used. It was shocking, but I still didn’t even know the truth.

And my third D-Day is the day he is under arrest for spraining my fingers. You can read all about the details in my book, which will come out soon.
