My Ex-Wife Left Me for My Brother Then Came Crawling Back When She Thought I Won the Lottery
I lived a quiet life as a high-school teacher while my twin brother chased money, status, and admiration. When my wife decided wealth mattered more than loyalty, she betrayed me in the most brutal way possible—with my own brother.
After losing my marriage, my family, and nearly everything else, I stayed silent and rebuilt my life in private. But when fate handed me the perfect opportunity, I exposed their greed, hypocrisy, and betrayal without raising my voice or breaking the law.
This is a true-to-life style story about patience, dignity, and the moment when people reveal exactly who they are.

FunTranscript
00:09When my parents' business went bankrupt, my parents went without food for several days,
00:14so my 8-year-old sister Gwen, my twin 10-year-old brother Alan, and I could eat what little
00:18food
00:19was left in the pantry. When it came time for us to go to college, we were still broke,
00:23so my mom got a job as a secretary at Temple University so we could attend tuition-free.
00:27Every day we all took the subway together to Temple. Years later, when the scandal of some
00:32glamorous Hollywood stars bribing their kids way into college, I thought back to my mother working
00:37a tedious job for little money for years to help her children. When I tell you that they were not
00:41perfect but the best parents imaginable, I'm not exaggerating. I became a teacher and my brother
00:46became a doctor who lorded it over me. My sister, though I'll deny it if you repeat this, was always
00:52the brains in the family. She was smarter than Alan and based on our IQ tests, Alan was 6 points
00:57smarter than I was. So, I suppose I was the family dummy. Later my choice of a wife might
01:02have proven that assessment correct. At Temple University, my sister was pre-law. I majored
01:06in secondary education while Alan was pre-med. We were identical twins, yet he always had a
01:12girlfriend and I never did. I once asked a girl who turned me down for Alan. Why? He's exciting,
01:17she responded. He's ambitious and he has a future as a doctor, you don't. While I wasn't competitive,
01:22my brother was hyper-competitive, but only with me. He always had to demonstrate that he was smarter,
01:28more talented, and better looking. That of course made no sense since we were identical twins.
01:32But his jealousy was endless. I think it all started when I beat him in a third-grade spelling
01:37B by correctly spelling the word aggressive. After college, I taught 11th grade science.
01:42On my first day in class, I met Alan, an 11th grade music teacher. We were seated at the same
01:47lunch table when another teacher spilled orange juice. It was about to engulf Ellen's handbag,
01:52but I picked up the bag in time. Ellen was grateful. It was a Gucci bag worth more than a
01:57week's salary. A previous boyfriend had gifted her with it. Obviously, the guy had money and didn't
02:02mind spending it on his girlfriends. She invited me to a concert of her church choir. She was a soloist
02:08and had the voice of an angel and I was hooked. We hit it off, dated and married. Several times
02:13while
02:13we dated, she compared me financially to some of her previous boyfriends. I always came in last.
02:18I should have taken the hint and run away. But she was beautiful and frankly, I was sexually
02:23frustrated. We lived modestly on our salaries, without complaint until my brother Alan finished
02:28his medical residency and started making big money and lording it over my sister and me and my wife.
02:34Ellen went so far as to suggest that I quit teaching and get a job with some tech firm to
02:39make some real
02:39money. Over time, her words morphed from suggestions to demands and then subtle insults after Alan bought
02:45himself a beautiful and expensive townhouse in Society Hill. I'm proud of my brother, not because
02:50of his income, but because he helps people. He's a plastic surgeon and while his work won't change
02:55the world, if it helps someone feel more confident in their own skin, that still counts for something.
03:00I'm not trying to save the world, just a different group of inner-city 11th graders each year.
03:05Maybe I'm an idiot, but the satisfaction I derived from seeing a child who was previously totally
03:10disengaged become excited by science and education made me almost euphoric. When people asked me if
03:16I had children, I would nod and say, yes, I have 50. My reward for this was the absolute joy
03:22of
03:22watching as some of my kids who had previously not been engaged in education suddenly get turned on
03:27by learning and more exciting than the Super Bowl, watch as they applied to and were accepted by various
03:32colleges. I wasn't making a lot of money, but I was helping a lot of kids. I was proud of
03:37my work.
03:38One year after I spent a month of non-paid overtime working with my kids, our class project won a
03:43city-wide science fair award. The kids were interviewed on a local TV news station where
03:47they thanked me by name. A Nobel Prize wouldn't have made me prouder. Ellen's response shocked and
03:52saddened me. She said it was a shame I couldn't take that praise to the bank and cash it, so
03:57we could
03:57repair our ancient Toyota. That splash of cold water ended my euphoria in an instant.
04:02That changed when the next month four of my science fair kids were accepted into Ivy League colleges
04:07based on winning the science fair competition. One Thanksgiving, with our entire extended family
04:12at the table, Ellen made a big deal of handing my dad a check for $10,000 as a gift.
04:17My aunts and
04:17uncles made a fuss over Ellen and looked down their noses at me. Ellen demanded that my parents admit
04:22that they loved and admired him more than my sister or me and that he was a success, while Gwen
04:27and I
04:28were a huge disappointment. My dad said he loved us all equally and handed Ellen back the check with
04:33the admonition that you can't buy love. I watched my wife Ellen out of the corner of my eye stare
04:38at
04:38Ellen with total admiration and envy. Then she turned towards me with disdain or maybe contempt in her
04:44eyes. A week later Ellen flew to Miami for a week to visit with her parents. She returned with a
04:49diamond
04:49necklace, which she claimed was once her grandmother's, and a great tan. Several days later, I ran into my
04:55brother, who also had a great tan. I didn't make the connection. I knew that Ellen and I were
05:00competitive, or at least he was, but he was my brother and I trusted that he would never stab me
05:04in the back. Of course, I had also believed in Santa Claus until Ellen told me it was a lie
05:10gloating
05:10with a maniacal smile as I cried. Three months ago, my folks were both killed by a drunk driver as
05:16they
05:16crossed the street, in the crosswalk with a green light as they held hands. In a bizarre sense, it was
05:21probably how they wanted to die, together, holding hands. I, however, was devastated. I couldn't
05:27function for about a week. My wife and my brother had to arrange their funerals with my sister,
05:32but without me, because I couldn't stop crying. I was finally able to function enough to attend the
05:36funeral. My brother was a rich doctor. He was single and had a new girlfriend every other month.
05:42He paid for the funeral, but I explained that I would pay him back my third a little at a
05:46time over
05:46the next few months. I was a teacher without much money saved. My wife Ellen spent it faster than I
05:51could earn it. She spent more on handbags than I spent on my entire wardrobe. Don't even ask me what
05:56she spent on shoes. My wife sang Ave Maria at the funeral, and I, along with most of the other
06:01attendees, cried, because it was so beautiful. It lifted up my soul, and I began to heal from my
06:06parents' death, but that was short-lived. At the end of the funeral ceremony, my wife and brother
06:11approached me holding hands, and my wife explained that they had fallen in love and she wanted a
06:16divorce. He was also going to financially back her singing career. She claimed he was a better
06:21provider and offered more intimacy. I was down for the count and cried like a baby. Losing my mom,
06:26my dad, my wife and brother in one week was more than I could take. My brother laughed at me
06:31and
06:31called me a broke loser. He bragged that he earned more in a month than I earned in a year.
06:36It was true,
06:37and it captivated my wife. She left me for a meal ticket. The divorce went through in six
06:41months, after lawyer's fees and giving my wife half of our small savings. I had barely enough
06:46for a deposit on a tiny efficiency apartment in a neighborhood that no one wanted to live in.
06:51Saturday nights were punctuated by the sounds of gunshots and police sirens. My personal life
06:57was in shambles, but when I was in school working with my kids, I forgot all of my personal turmoil
07:02and the joy of teaching receptive minds gave me a reason, maybe the only reason to go on.
07:07Sure, not every kid turned his life around in my classes, but enough did to bring me joy and
07:12satisfaction and the desire to keep going. Ellen quit her job in the middle of the semester,
07:17which is horrible for the students, but she didn't care about anyone but herself.
07:20The school district had a policy that if you quit mid-semester, they would never hire you back.
07:25My ex-wife and brother immediately married. I was not previously a vicious person seeking payback,
07:31but that changed when I learned that they had been cheating behind my back for almost six months
07:35before she asked for a divorce. Now, I wanted to destroy them. I literally stayed up at night
07:40on my lumpy bed in a cheap apartment reeking with the stench of failure and stale coffee dreaming of
07:45cruel and sadistic ways to get back at them, preferably without going to prison, though that
07:50was not completely off of the table. The answer came to me as an epiphany during a news announcement
07:54about a lottery winner during a football game I had taped the day before and now watched on my TV
07:59while eating cold Kentucky fried chicken leftovers while drinking lukewarm coffee.
08:04I instantly came up with the most sadistic, vicious plan imaginable for my ex-wife and my brother.
08:09I had metamorphosed into the kind of brilliant villain found only in comic books.
08:14I humorously called myself the punishing avenger. I thought for just a moment of buying a black cape,
08:19but that was too over the top. I knew Ellen and I knew Alan and I knew how to destroy
08:24them
08:24and their marriage, like they had destroyed mine. The major difference was that I would destroy them
08:28in front of an audience. Soon it would be my turn to laugh. A week later, after her remarriage,
08:34my sister, ex-wife, brother, and I were at my aunt and uncle's 50th wedding anniversary party.
08:39Ellen was draped around the arm of my brother like a fashion accessory along with his $20,000
08:44Jaeger-LeCoultre watch and the $20,000 diamond engagement ring on her finger. She left me because
08:50I didn't make enough money to fund her lavish lifestyle, while her new husband, my brother,
08:54the doctor did. I was going to put an end to that. I arrived at the anniversary party with
08:59my sister. An hour later, the party was in full swing and everyone, including and especially my
09:04ex-wife were three sheets to the wind and feeling no pain. My aunt and uncle didn't try to console
09:10me for my lost marriage. Instead, they told me to forgive my brother and ex-wife and get on with
09:15my
09:15life. Then they bragged about how my rich doctor brother gave them a weekend vacation in Atlantic City
09:20for which he had been comped, which was 50 miles away. They made it sound like a month in Tahiti
09:25as they gushed over it to anyone who would listen and looked at me with pity in their eyes. They
09:29said they were sure I would do the same if I had any money and wasn't a poor grade school
09:33teacher.
09:34Their condescending tone of voice and attitude show their disdain for my career and me.
09:38I waited until my $30 Timex watch announced 9pm, the same time I'm sure Alan's $20,000 watch also
09:45showed. Then I shushed everyone and told them that I bought a lottery ticket and felt lucky.
09:49Looking straight at Ellen, I repeated the expression, unlucky in love, lucky in cards as I told them
09:55the ticket number. I turned on the TV. I read the number on my ticket out loud and jumped up
09:59and down
10:00as it appeared that I had the winning number and I had just won $100,000,000. I turned to
10:05Ellen and
10:06said with tears in my eyes, if we were still married, I would have spent it all on you.
10:10My ex-wife turned ashen pale. Then without any hesitation, she jumped off of my brother's lap,
10:15dropping her expensive Louis Vitten handbag and knocking over Alan's espresso martini as she
10:20raced over to me giving me a giant kiss as she looked at the ticket close up and compared it
10:25to
10:25the number on the TV screen. I never stopped loving you, she insisted. I just needed more money and
10:30now that we have it, we can be together again. What about my brother, your husband? I asked.
10:35I never loved him. I just wanted his money. But none of that matters now.
10:39My brother's face turned as red as a firetruck. But you said he was amazing. I reminded her.
10:45She shrugged. For about two minutes. After that, I just pretended everything was fine
10:49so he wouldn't feel insecure. My uncle came over and put an arm around me. He said I'd always been
10:54his favorite nephew. I thanked him. My brother stood up, called his wife, my ex, a gold-digging liar,
11:01and stormed out of the party. Now it was his turn to cry in humiliation. He couldn't look at me.
11:05All of a sudden, I was the most popular person at the party as each of my relatives made suggestions
11:10as to how I could spend this money on them. I played along as they treated me like Santa
11:14Claus verbally giving me their Christmas lists. But this Saint Nick decided that all of them had
11:19been naughty, so no toys for them. Ellen, my ex, placed her arms around me. She wanted to come
11:24home with me. But I explained that unlike my brother, I didn't sleep with married women,
11:29especially those with a history of cheating. We had no future, I explained. But I left Alan for you,
11:34she screamed. That's your problem, not mine. I have no place to stay, and I gave up my job.
11:39What will I do? You can always sell your shoes on eBay and pawn your engagement ring. You aren't
11:43penniless, at least not yet. I left her there crying as I sauntered out to my car. I was joined
11:49by my sister, who couldn't contain her laughter. I loved the pre-recorded video clip you showed.
11:54I watched you secretly place a thumb drive in their TV when no one was looking. None of those
11:58morons realized that the TV wasn't playing a live show. It was playing a recording from last week's
12:03Pittsburgh Steelers game and last week's winning lottery number. You're a devious genius for buying
12:08a ticket with the same numbers and playing a recorded winning announcement just to mess with
12:13Alan and Ellen. I'm proud of you. Dear listeners, we have reached the end of this story, and I hope
