She Discovered That Her Husband Has Been Messaging Men On A Dating App And Said He Wants To Sleep With One Guy
Two years ago, this 28-year-old woman tied the knot with her husband, who is the same age as her, and they have been with one another for nine years so far.
They welcomed their first child into the world two months ago, and she’s currently on maternity leave for one more month.
Yesterday, she was taking care of her son in the living room when she noticed her husband’s phone sitting out.
Several hours later, she realized that her husband had notifications popping up on his phone, and they were all from a dating app for men.
She is aware that her husband likes men as well as women, and she knows that in the past, he had a romantic experience with a man before she began dating him.
It was a shock to her to see that her husband downloaded a dating app and was messaging guys, considering they’re married with a newborn.
She then started going through the conversations, and her husband had been talking to one guy earlier that evening. Her husband received photos from that guy and also said he really wanted to sleep with him.
She kept going and pulled up messages from more than a year ago of photos her husband had sent to another man.
She found a third conversation from last week where her husband was talking to a guy in the middle of the day about lunch.

It made her sick to her stomach to see that because she had a panic attack that day and was desperate to get a hold of her therapist. While she was struggling, her husband was messaging guys on a dating app.
She quickly packed up some things, grabbed her son, and went to stay with her mom and dad. Before she left the house, her husband attempted to get her to stay and discuss everything with him.
“I said I’m not ready,” she explained. “I don’t really know what he can say to make this better.”
Her husband maintains that the messages were nothing more than a fantasy to him, but she feels that downloading the app is crossing a line.
“He says he’s never met with anyone outside of our marriage, and I believe that, but I still consider this cheating on me,” she said.
“I’m staying with my parents currently. I mean, I’m a teacher in the area. On top of being so hurt and betrayed, I’m scared this could somehow become a rumor/scandal about me.”
It’s too much for her to have to deal with this on top of trying to get back to feeling great about herself now that she’s adjusting to being a mom.
Her husband has since sent her a text stating he’s going to start going to therapy, but that hardly helps fix the damage already done.
What advice do you have for her?
