This man and his boyfriend have been dating for five years and living together for two years. At the beginning of August, his boyfriend also landed a new job.

So, over the past two weeks, his boyfriend has gone to two different after-work drink outings with his coworkers to apparently talk about work-related topics.

“Each time, my boyfriend has gotten home around 11:00 p.m., which is pretty late for after-work dinner, in my opinion,” he said.

Even stranger, his boyfriend just went right to bed after returning home from the most recent work dinner. His boyfriend did not even say hi to him or ask him how he was doing.

According to him, this was extremely bizarre. After all, they hadn’t seen each other since 7:00 a.m. that morning, and his boyfriend never just got home and went straight to sleep without talking to him.

Anyway, that same night, he eventually got into bed, too, and noticed that his boyfriend’s phone was not on the charger. Instead, it was on his side of the bed, meaning his boyfriend must have fallen asleep– forgetting to plug the device in.

So, his suspicions got the best of him, and he decided to pick up the phone, plug it in, and check his boyfriend’s messages.

It was at that point that he discovered a ton of texts sent recently by an unsaved phone number.

“I am not proud of this… and I have never done this before, but I looked at them,” he admitted.

He discovered that the text conversation was about his boyfriend meeting up with another guy for a non-work-related hangout. Even worse, the guy was someone his boyfriend met while they were out at the bar together the weekend before.

Apparently, his boyfriend and the guy met in the bathroom. He learned that from one specific message that the guy sent.

“I was trying to get your attention from across the bar. I’m happy you met me in there,” the text read.

So, as you can probably imagine, he was seriously devastated after discovering these texts. And he has absolutely no idea what to do about it.

“I have never caught him in a life before, but now that I know it happened, I can’t help but think about the past and how many times it could have happened,” he vented.

This has left him wondering how to cope and what he should do about the situation.

How would you feel if you discovered these texts on your partner’s phone? Would your trust be immediately broken, too? Do you think their relationship could ever come back from this? How should he handle it?
