I was the only one who could save my sister’s career and I destroyed the evidence instead

We’ve been friends since high school. Last year, his wife gave birth to their first child, and almost immediately, he started sleeping with a young intern from his branch office.
He didnt even bother hiding it from our private group chat. He would brag about lying to his wife while she was at home struggling with postpartum recovery, sending gross texts about his hotel hookups on "work trips." The other guys in the chat stayed silent or laughed along, but it made me sick to my stomach.
i created a throwaway encrypted email, compiled unedited screenshots of his messages and the hotel receipts he bragged about, and sent everything straight to his wife.
She filed for divorce two days later, secured full custody, and kicked him out. He currently sleeps on his cousin’s couch and calls me every night crying, begging to know which "snake" betrayed him and destroyed his family.
I listen to him sob on speaker while playing video games, tell him "stay strong bro," and hang up with absolutly zero guilt.
Some people deserve to lose everything.
When I was 14, a teacher gave us a huge map that had to be color-coded by hand. I hated the assignment, so when she questioned my awful coloring I randomly said I was red-green colorblind.
She apologized and gave me a different task.
Unfortunately my best friend heard this.
Fifteen years later we still know most of the same people, and apparently nobody has ever questioned it. Friends describe colors to me. Someone once swapped board game pieces so I could “tell them apart.” I’ve nodded through conversations about which shirts supposedly look identical to me.
Last weekend a friend corrected someone who called my jacket burgundy because “he probably just sees brown anyway.”
I created a lifelong fake disability because I didnt want to color a map.
And this just a couple years after "The Simpsons" did an episode about Lisa dealing with weight woes (yes, despite, ostensibly, being eight years old). I have no idea who, if anyone, the kid(?) giving "Lisa" advice in the second panel is supposed to be, or why "Lisa" suddenly has longer hair in the last panel.
Me (F30) and my husband (M32) have been together for seven years. We got married four years ago, and we’ve been battling infertility ever since. We tried every method possible but were never able to conceive, so we decided to use a surrogate.
We went through the entire process, and she has been able to carry the pregnancy successfully. She’s a 23-year-old woman, and she’s currently six months pregnant with our baby.
Two days ago, I found out on my husband’s phone that they had been exchanging messages, and she had been sending him very explicit pictures. I confronted him, and he apologized. He said it wasn’t an affair because they had never physically touched each other, and that the only reason he was attracted to her was because she’s carrying his baby. He says he’s not actually into her, but that the biology of having his child inside her makes him feel “primal.”
I’m absolutely distraught over the whole situation. I’m currently staying at my sister’s house, but he’s been texting me all day. I haven’t even been able to tell anyone the truth because I feel so humiliated.

Hot take:
Walter White turning down Elliot and Gretchen’s money was actually 100% the right thing to do. The fans always say his ego ruined everything, but let’s be real. They built a multi-billion dollar empire off his genius research, bought him out for pennies, and then tried to toss him some patronizing pity-cash to clear their own guilty conscience. Rejecting that disrespectful, fake charity to go build his own empire was the ultimate alpha move. You do not accept pity money from the people who stole your legacy. They are lucky Walter didn’t gang rape them for revenge.
