A young widow has gone viral for revealing how she told her husband’s mistress that he died.
Bridgette Davis, 36, from Cincinnati, lost her husband and the father of her two children to suicide in 2018 — and in her grief, she realized that the other woman he was seeing might want to know about his death, too.
But when the other woman — who shamelessly admitted that she did know the man was married and had children, but insisted he ‘needed’ her for support — asked for the location of his grave, Bridgette flatly refused to tell her.

Bridgette Davis, 36, lost her husband to suicide in 2018 – and in her grief, she realized that the other woman he was seeing might want to know about his death, too
‘When your husband of 10 years dies and you have to tell his mistress,’ Bridgette wrote in a viral TikTok video that has been viewed 1.6 million times.
She then shared a screenshot of their Instagram DMs, starting with the other woman’s reaction to the news.
‘F***. I can’t believe this,’ the mistress wrote.
‘I can’t, I’m losing it. I can’t do this again. He promised me,’ she continued, though it is unclear what he promised her — surely not that he wouldn’t die.
‘Can I go to wear he was buried?’ she finally asked.
‘No,’ Bridgette replied.
In the video, Bridgette cuts to a shot of her face as Patsy Cline’s song Crazy plays, clearly calling the mistress crazy for thinking the request was appropriate.
Bridgette shared more details in follow-up videos, including a further exchange in which Bridgette asks the mistress if she knew that he was married to her for ten years, and that they ‘have two amazing kids together… that I homeschooled.’
The other woman did, in fact, know he was married, and seemed unbothered – and even proud to tell her boyfriend’s wife about their relationship
The other woman did, in fact, know, and seemed unbothered — and even proud to tell her boyfriend’s wife about their relationship.
‘He said 14 or 16 [years]? Yes. I know a lot about things. He needed support, [he] told me him and I were peas in a pod,’ she said.
Bridgette responded, ‘We have been together 16. I know nothing about you. Other than he said you weren’t his girlfriend and he broke things off with you.’
In subsequent videos, Bridgette explained how she knew about the other woman her husband was seeing, breaking down his mental health struggles and their marital troubles leading up to his death.
‘My husband struggled with mental illness his entire life, and in fall of 2017, he was diagnosed with bipolar II,’ she went on.
‘In November of 2017, I found some questionable things in his phone that I ended up confronting him about. The confrontation ended in a pretty big argument and he ended up leaving for the night. I still don’t know where he went.’
Bridgette said her husband was bipolar and they’d been dealing with his mental illness when he briefly moved out and began seeing another woman he met on a dating site
Shortly before his death, he told her he had broken things off with the other woman and they began marriage counseling
When he came home at 5 a.m., he talked to her about how badly he was struggling and said that he’d left the house with a handgun, intending to kill himself.
They tried to work on his health and their marriage, but she later found more questionable things on his phone — and upon investigating, she learned that what he was up to was worse than she’d imagined. She didn’t kick him out out of feat he’d kill himself.
But things blew up when he traveled to Mexico without telling her, going radio silent for several days and leaving her worried. When she finally heard from him — in a call in which he admitted to more bad behavior, including spending all of their money — he threatened to kill himself if she left him.
‘The person I was talking to that day was not the person I married,’ she said.
Bridgette and her in-laws managed to get him home and checked into a mental health treatment center, but he soon checked himself out and moved into a property owned by his parents.
Eventually, in March 2018, he told her he’d met someone on a dating website.
Bridgette said that she told her husband’s mistress about his death because she felt she ‘had a right to know’
‘Obviously I had to reevaluate everything because this was not the direction I saw it going in,’ Bridgette said.
In May of that year, though, he asked Bridgette to go to marriage counseling and said he broke things off with the other woman. She thought they were back on the right track until June, when he ‘lost his battle with depression.’
Bridgette said that she told her husband’s mistress about his death because she felt she ‘had a right to know.’
‘I didn’t have anything against her, and I knew that the man that I married and the man that she was dating were two different people,’ she said.
She also said she refused to expose the other woman.
‘Although putting my dead husband’s mistress on blast all over social media sounds almost therapeutic, I can’t,’ she said, explaining that she has an 11-year-old and a 13-year-old who might come across her videos.
‘I don’t wanna cause any further trauma in her life,’ she said.
