His Girlfriend Fell In Love With A Married Coworker, So He’s Thinking He Should Tell This Guy’s Wife About The Affair
Earlier this month, this 30-year-old man’s 26-year-old girlfriend shared some horrifying news with him.
His girlfriend confessed that she fell in love with her male coworker, and she revealed this to him right after he began noticing that she was being distant.
It was super hurtful for him to listen to her say this, but since he’s so in love with her, he found it in his heart to be thankful that she respected him enough to be honest about the situation.
“She said that somewhere inside, she still felt like she loved me but that she was very confused and needed time to explore this,” he explained.
“We remained close and have tried to maintain a somewhat healthy distance in friendship. Come to find out that this man is actually a husband and a father who is in a ‘loveless marriage.’ I know this only because she is very transparent with me when I ask questions.”
“This shook me to my core because I never once thought this was something she’d engage in. She almost feels unrecognizable to me with how little she regards the mother of this man’s children.”
He knows it was ridiculous for him to continue to give her the benefit of the doubt, and he excused her behavior by insisting she had to be in an awful place.
He couldn’t imagine his girlfriend engaging in an affair with a married man “under normal circumstances,” and he felt so confused.
His girlfriend promised things never got physical with her married coworker and that they just talked about being in love, cuddled, and exchanged steamy photos.

Even while he was giving his girlfriend space, she still was speaking to her coworker every single day and discussing what the future could be like for the two of them.
“The man has stated in so many words that he plans to leave his wife for her,” he said. “But she said that they don’t plan on telling his wife the same way that she told me simply because it would complicate his divorce/separation.”
“And that they only plan on getting physical if and when the separation occurs. Up until now, it has supposedly been purely an emotional affair.”
“So currently, the man is starting to ease his wife into the idea of the fact that he isn’t happy with the marriage because of this and that. but NOT the fact that he is having an affair with another woman. This has left me with a pit in my stomach and guilt for this woman who has no idea.”
But then his girlfriend said to him lately that she changed her mind and thinks she should start being physical with her coworker since he’s going to truly leave his wife.
This made him sick to his stomach to hear this, and it also ruined the faith he still held for his girlfriend while also wiping out any feelings he did have for her.
It still hurts knowing he’s done being with her, and he’s planning on slowly cutting her out of his life since she’s clearly not the girl he fell in love with.
Prior to this latest conversation, he was not planning on telling the wife of this man, as he was afraid to get his now ex-girlfriend in trouble in some way.
“Recently, my ex asked if she could borrow a little bit of money,” he continued. “I agreed because, at the time, she was still my friend, and I knew that she had been having a little bit of trouble.”
“And honestly, it was just a negligible amount. She told me she’d pay me back at the end of the week. Okay cool, I trust her that she will. Well, come to find out that the money she borrowed was for her to rent a hotel room so that they could sleep together and so it wouldn’t show up on his card.”
“I’m LIVID. She has so little respect for me that she’d even ask me for that money. She has absolutely just been taking advantage of my forgiveness and love for her. I thought this person was my best friend and going through a confusing time in her life. This has felt like a waking nightmare and has been so out of character.”
So, he feels like telling the wife about the entire affair, even though his motivation is now coming from a place that’s petty and selfish.
He still feels like the wife should know about what her husband is up to, and he admits it was a jerk move to not have spoken up sooner.
“I just don’t want to do more harm than good to this innocent woman by telling her now,” he added.
“With that said, what’s the most sensitive, honest way I can tell her, since I am a complete stranger essentially?”
