This 30-year-old guy has been with his wife, who is 37, for seven years and married for four years.

They actually first met online. Then, his wife wound up moving to his home country to be with him– which he was very thankful for.

While they hoped his wife would eventually adjust, though, she never felt at home where they currently live. And a major reason is the fact that she doesn’t like their apartment– which is not an easy fix.

“We have a relatively big apartment for a cheap price since it’s family-owned. So it’s hard to find something elsewhere that we could afford,” he said.

He also struggles with anxiety, so it is difficult for him to put himself out there and plan major changes. That’s why, deep down, he just hoped that his wife would get used to where they lived over time.

He knows now that he shouldn’t have done that and should have made more of an effort to ensure his wife was happy.

But he didn’t. And just a couple of months ago, his wife began flirting with a new guy she met online.

He realized it was going on, too, and confronted his wife. He admitted to knowing that their situation was not perfect, but he reiterated how important their marriage was to him.

He also claimed that he was willing to work on making his wife happy if she gave him a chance and told his wife to cut contact with the other guy.

While his wife said that she still loved him, though, she also admitted to wanting her life to be different ever since she started talking to the new guy online.

“She also said she kind of needs to follow up on this feeling and meet that guy to see if she feels the same way about him in real life, and if it doesn’t work out, she will come back to me to work on our marriage,” he revealed.

At that point, he told his wife that it did not work like that. He also tried to explain how their marriage was obviously more important than some random guy online.

Regardless, even though his wife acknowledged that the situation was not fair to him, she claimed she still needed to figure out what she wanted.

After that, his wife went on a “vacation” at her mother’s house for two months in order to “clear her mind” and figure out whether she wanted to stay with him or go meet up with the other guy.

And understandably, this entire situation has been incredibly tough for him since his wife still means the world to him.

“And I wanna see her happy, but I also don’t want to be played with and feel like a backup choice,” he vented.

So now, he’s been left wondering what to do and whether or not he should try to convince his wife that working on their marriage is more important than meeting her online crush.

How would you feel if you found out your spouse was talking to someone else online? Does it seem fishy that his wife is going on a two-month “vacation?” Should he give his wife time to make her decision, or does it seem like she’s already made her choice?
