After Her Husband Passed Away, She Had To Tell His Mistress The News, And Then His Mistress Asked If She Could Visit His Final Resting Place
A 36-year-old woman and mother of two is speaking up about her husband’s struggle with mental illness and the mistress he had.
TikToker Bridgette Davis (@bridgettedavis08) shared a six-second clip displaying a screenshot of her text conversation with her husband’s mistress.
“When your husband of 10 years dies, and you have to tell his mistress,” she wrote in the text overlay of the video.
In the screenshot, the other woman expressed her distress after hearing about Bridgette’s husband’s death, saying she “couldn’t believe it” and was “losing it.”
She then asked Bridgette if she could go to where he was buried, to which Bridgette responded with a curt “no.”
In a series of follow-up videos, Bridgette explained the background of the situation and discussed why she decided to tell the other woman about her husband’s death.
Bridgette felt that she had the right to know, and at that point, she didn’t really have anything against her anymore. She knew that the man she married and the man with another woman on the side were two different people entirely.
Bridgette’s husband struggled with mental illness throughout his entire life, and in 2017, he was diagnosed with bipolar disorder.
A few months later, she discovered some questionable things on his phone. She confronted him about it, which led to a big argument, and he left for the night.

The next morning he came home, and they had a serious talk. He explained how much he was struggling.
He told Bridgette that he wanted to get better and was willing to work to make that happen. Two weeks later, there were more questionable things on his phone.
Again, she asked him about it. He grew upset and called her crazy. So Bridgette dug deeper to see what was truly going on. And what she found out was way worse than she ever could have imagined.
The following day, he headed to work, but he really hopped on a plane to Mexico. Of course, at the time, she didn’t know he had left the country. After two days without hearing from him, Bridgette was worried that something bad had happened.
But no one took her concerns seriously. Finally, on day five, she received a text from him, telling her that he was in Mexico and had gotten into some deep trouble.
He drained every last cent from their bank accounts, including their savings and their kids’ college funds.
Bridgette called his parents, and they arranged a flight home for him on the condition that he would check himself into a mental health treatment center upon arriving home, which he did.
But a few days later, he decided to check himself out of the facility. After that, things were still rocky. Bridgette and her husband were no longer living together, and she discovered that her husband had met someone.
Then, one day, Bridgette started having car troubles. Her husband came over to swap cars with her so he could fix it, and while he was there, he showed her how to use the lawn mower and snow blower.
That day, they went on a lunch date and had an enjoyable time together. He also revealed that his relationship with the mistress was over.
But one good day did not mean his mental health was improving. Even though he seemed fine on the surface, Bridgette knew better.
Sometime later, they planned a day to switch their cars back, so Bridgette could start driving her own car again.
However, he never showed up. That same day, police arrived at her door to tell her he had passed away.
The weeks after that were a blur. But Bridgette and her kids got through it with plenty of support and therapy and stayed strong together as a family.
@bridgettedavis08 There is a lot to unpack here.
