In “A Widow’s Guide to Dead Bastards,” Waite recounts the shocking discoveries she made about her late husband, Sean, who died during a work trip to Texas
Canadian author Jessica Waite had an unusual reaction to finding out about her dead husband's infidelity.
In “A Widow’s Guide to Dead Bastards,” Waite recounts the shocking discoveries she made about her late husband, Sean, who died during a work trip to Texas. She says things fell apart when she tried to contact the Houston hospital holding his body, the New York Post reported.
When she went through his iPad she discovered his double life, which included an explicit search history for escorts and porn. Waite wrote that as she started typing Houston into the browser, it auto-filled with the words “Houston escorts.”

Not just that, she says found searches for specific escorts as well as their prices and locations. In the months after Waite would discover that her husband regularly cheated on her with escorts and random women.
She says Sean would lie to her about having to work late, but was actually downloading hundreds of porn videos that he organized into differed desktop folders on his computer. Sean even went as far as renting an apartment in Colorado to have sex with the escorts and women he picked up.
The stress of the shocking betrayal led Waite into a spiral and in a particularly low moment she writes about cutting open the bag of his ashes in her garden and mixed it with her dog’s feces. “I’ve desecrated the remains of my partner in life,” Waite wrote.
She managed to take it further- consuming her unfaithful former husband's remains. "But then, in despair and guilt, took more of his ashes — and actually ate them. The remains feel dry against my fingertips, coarser than baking powder, grainier than salt. They mix with the teary water, a mineral mud on the back of my tongue. I swallow.”
Waite writes that in that moment she was “detached from reality in the wake of Sean’s death”. But thankfully, Waite has moved on and is in a new relationship. But she says the pain of betrayal still lingers.
“I feel better and stronger than before, but I still cry almost every day, and I still feel like a part of me has died,” Waite wrote. "Because the part of me that existed within Sean did.”
