Her Husband Created A Fake Online Life In Order To Talk To Another Woman And She’s Confiding In The Internet That This Makes Her So Sad
A 31-year-old woman has been married to her 34-year-old husband for 5 years, and they’re very honest with one another in their marriage.
They’re the type of couple that will use one another’s phones if theirs ends up being low on battery or they need one at the moment and theirs isn’t nearby.
This hasn’t been a problem for them ever, but around a month ago her husband started acting strange about her using his phone.
She actually called him out on it on one occasion, and he did not have a response for her.
She decided to let things just go, but last night, she accidentally discovered why her husband was being so secretive with his phone.
She ended up falling asleep along with the toddler she has with her husband, and she woke up in the early hours of this morning.
Not wanting to disturb their son, she reached for her husband’s phone to illuminate her way to the bathroom.
She picked it up and realized Whatsapp was opened up on his phone.
“He’s been flirting with another woman and invented a fake name for himself, a fake job (which is just the career he used to have and hated before he went back to school and switched fields), fake life,” she explained.

She kept reading and couldn’t believe it all. Her husband was speaking to this other woman in extraordinary detail about his completely false life.
“She asks him at one point if he’s married and he doesn’t tell her he is,” she said. “She sends video clips slowly scanning up and down her body after a workout, photos of her trying on dresses and posing seductively, and he tells her how hot she is.”
“With lots of winky faces. And she is perfectly his type, while I know I am not.”
She doesn’t consider herself to be jealous, and her husband actually speaks to a couple of his exes on a consistent basis, which has never bothered her.
Her husband also has a ton of friends that are female, and again, this doesn’t concern her either.
“Him talking to another woman isn’t at all the problem here,” she continued. “But inventing a fake life that erases me and our son, and blatantly flirting with someone else bothers me.”
“I thought we had the kind of relationship where if someone was hitting on one of us we’d tell each other and high five, not keep it a secret.”
She has not told her husband that she discovered his secret messages with this other woman, and now she is left feeling incredibly sad while wondering what to do now.
Here’s what the internet had to say.
“He is emotionally cheating on you and catfishing someone else. You have a right to be upset.”
“If you want to stay together and work things out, he needs to be honest about what drove him to this route. You may even want couples counseling.”
“Also he needs to tell that other woman the truth or just delete the app altogether if he doesn’t want the backlash from her.”
“This is an emotional affair. It’s the exact definition. This is cheating, whether there was in-person contact or not.”
“This is a divorce worthy act. He won’t see it that way, but how would he act if he knew you had done the same thing? How would he feel then?”
“Do NOT let him get a pass on this. Literally, no part of it is ok, and it is NOT ok for your relationship.”
“I’d call him all the way out, and I’d also message the women he’s cheating with telling her that he’s used a fake name and career, etc.”
“Personally I think it’s completely pathetic to create an entire fake person to manipulate women (behind your SO’s back no less). He deserves a life lesson he won’t forget.”
“A lot of the commenters are quick to say “just get a divorce” as if it’s that easy. You guys should try couples counseling or therapy first.”
“Clearly, he needs something that he wasn’t getting from you (maybe because you’ve been taking care of the new baby) and he didn’t know how to cope.”
“People screw up, and sometimes it’s still worth fixing and not throwing away an entire relationship over. Just my 2 cents.”
