My Husband Kept Visiting Our Surrogate to ‘Make Sure She Was Okay’ – I Hid a Recorder, and What I Heard Ended Our Marriage

But the uneasy feeling in my stomach wouldn’t let me.

That evening Ethan came home like usual. He hung up his jacket, kissed me goodnight, and went to bed.

I waited until the house was quiet.

Then I took the recorder and locked myself in the bathroom.

Sitting on the cold tile floor, I pressed play.

At first everything sounded normal.

A door opening.

Claire greeting him.

“I brought the vitamins,” Ethan said.

Relief flooded me.

Maybe I had been paranoid.

Then Claire asked a question that made my body go rigid.

“Are you sure your wife is okay with all this?”

Ethan laughed softly.

“She doesn’t want the baby, Claire. She only agreed because I begged her to try surrogacy.”
