Exposed by GPS, Ended by DivorceChapter 1
A colleague recommended a miniature GPS tracker, and on a whim I slipped it into my husband Daniel Carter’s scooter.
I never expected it would uncover his secret. Using the excuse that his reported locations didn’t match the tracker twice in a row, I chose to file for divorce.
My mother-in-law’s family scolded me for being crazy:
“He only lied for convenience, so you wouldn’t overthink things. That’s not betrayal.”
“You’re divorcing him just because of a location discrepancy? Are you out of your mind?”
I blinked and said,
“Yes. Exactly because of the location discrepancy.”
A colleague had recommended the tracker as a side hustle. Daniel’s scooter had GPS tracking every year, but he never let me see it. One day, that colleague gave me one, and curiosity pushed me to attach it to Daniel’s scooter to see where he really went when he claimed he was out for drinks.
I never expected to see his location at Central Park. I called him, but he said he was at Westfield Mall, which was completely the opposite direction. Did he think he could just fly there? Even if he had a private plane—which citizens don’t—he couldn’t possibly do that.
