For the first year after I left him, he was in pretty much constant contact. He called, texted, or showed up at my house every single day, and it was always constant fighting. He tried every trick he could think of to try and get me to come back to him, and I continued to refuse.

About 6 months before the incident, I completely cut off contact with him, finally realizing that even speaking to him was giving him hope that there was still a chance of getting back together. He continued to follow me around for a while after that, but then stopped suddenly, and I heard nothing else from him.

One morning, after the kids were in school, I got a knock on my door. It was a couple of police officers, and they informed me that he had hired someone to kill me, and they were about to set up a sting, to gather evidence and catch him.

The supposed hitman called him to inform him that the job was done, then a 911 call was made, reporting a possible burglary at my address. Another police officer showed up, then radio'ed for an ambulance. More officers started showing up, then the ambulance arrived (they had no idea it was a sting until they got there). Soon afterward, the coroner was called (he also had no idea).

A couple of detectives left the "scene" to go and inform him that his wife had been murdered and asked him to come to the police station and help them out by answering some questions. He answered their questions (I assume) and then was informed that I wasn't really dead, which is when he went into "panic mode." This is pretty much the only way that his reaction was described to me. Then they arrested him.

Once we knew that they had him in custody, everyone at my house packed up and left. The crime scene tape was taken down, and then everyone was gone. I was asked to go to the police station because my family was waiting there to see me.

I will definitely be afraid for my safety, and that of my children after his release.

He asked his friends if anyone knew someone who could do it for him. One of his friends informed the police.

Yes, they all did. My family (excluding my children) were outside the house, trying to find out what was going on when the coroner arrived at my house.

Hahahaha! Thank you for making me laugh out loud.
