29 Sep
Summary
- Therapist discovers husband's infidelity through a receipt for emergency contraception
- Writes a memoir about the divorce process and rebuilding her life
- Finds inspiration in model Emily Ratajkowski's similar experience
In September 2025, therapist and author Meredith Beardmore was blindsided by the discovery of her husband's infidelity. As she was getting into their car, Beardmore noticed a receipt for emergency contraception, which she knew couldn't be hers as she had undergone a procedure to tie her fallopian tubes. This gut-wrenching realization that her husband was cheating sent Beardmore into a tailspin.
Beardmore, who had been understanding of her husband's addiction issues, was devastated by the betrayal. She began writing about the experience as a way to process the divorce and rebuild her life. The resulting book, "The Plan B Chronicles: Divorce, Defiance, Liberation," is part memoir, part therapy, as Beardmore shares her journey with raw honesty.
Beardmore found unexpected inspiration in model and actress Emily Ratajkowski, who had also recently filed for divorce due to her husband's infidelity. The two women connected over their shared experiences and the challenges of starting over. Beardmore's book aims to offer a relatable and empowering narrative for other women navigating the aftermath of divorce.
