Kansas Woman Found Out Her Husband Is Cheating. Now She’s Facing Criminal Charges: ‘I’m Becoming Lebanese.’

Choosing a life partner will be one of the most important decisions a person can make. Ana (@dollatreejlo) said that she had uprooted her life and moved to Kansas with her husband and children. But upon finding out that her husband has supposedly been cheating, Ana now regrets getting married.

“Never trust a man and never get married, ladies.” Ana uploaded a clip on TikTok with her baby in tow. She was about to binge-watch a show after caring for her children all day. But then, she found a spam message on Facebook from an unknown woman. Ana checked, and she found out that the woman is from Wichita, Kansas, not far from her home in Fort Riley.

The woman alleged that she had been talking to her husband for several weeks. She also claimed that he had been planning a time for them to hook up. Because the woman got suspicious of him, she snooped around social media and found his profile. She saw that he was in a relationship with Ana, but didn’t know what kind of relationship it was.

Ana told the woman that she’s married to him. Nevertheless, Ana felt shaken by what she had just discovered. She went outside to call her parents and told them that she wanted to stay with them for at least five days.

“Of course, I did self-defense”

Ana then claimed her husband followed her outside and said that he “grabbed” her arms and squeezed them hard.

“So, of course, I did self-defense, guys. Who wouldn’t?” She told TikTok. Ana did not specify how she defended herself, but she claimed it was to get his hands off her. Ana went into the house shortly after, and her husband kept following her.

“He puts his hands on me again,” Ana stated. She said that she did “self-defense” once again after he got handsy with her again. Things seemed to be escalating between her and her husband, who was in military service.

The military police came to their house, and her husband got pending charges. But to her surprise, Ana was also facing charges.

“Now, I’m facing a criminal threat charge and a domestic battery charge. Apparently, when your spouse cheats on you, and they grab your arms really hard, and you use self-defense against them? You get charges for it,” Ana explained, exasperated by her situation.

“I just moved and unpacked a whole house in a couple of days,” she said. Ana started sobbing. Amidst her breakdown, she said that she had no job or money to fall back on. It seemed like she was at a loss for what to do next.

“I’m becoming Lebanese, as in lesbian. No man is ever going to touch this [expletive] again. Thanks for coming to my TedTalk!” She joked, ending her clip in tears.

Another woman who found her husband cheating took his mobile home while he was at work, and also found a way to get even with his mistress.

Is cheating a crime in military court?

According to Code 134 of the Uniform Code of Military Justice, otherwise known as the ‘General Article,’ a service member can be prosecuted under military court for cheating or having an extramarital affair.

However, one law firm stated that a prosecutor must prove three elements to get a conviction. First, the service member had sexual intercourse or sexual acts with the affair partner. Second, either one or both parties are married. Essentially, even a service member in a relationship with a married person could also be punished. Third and lastly, it must be proven that the actions of the person damaged the morale, teamwork, or reputation of the military in the eyes of the public. If proven in military court, a service member could be dishonorably discharged from duty.

It’s unclear which path Ana intends to take. But Kansas has the option for no-fault divorce, which another law firm says is less costly. It’s a situation most people don’t want to be in, but she has more options compared to another woman in Mississippi who struggled with the divorce laws in her state.
