Five years ago, this 29-year-old woman met her 30-year-old husband Victor, and then close to three years ago, they tied the knot.

Back when she and Victor were just dating, she made it crystal clear to him that the one thing she can never forgive is cheating.

She stated that if he were to ever think of cheating on her, she would cut him right out of her life, and he would never see her again.

She went so far as to say, hypothetically speaking, if they were married and he cheated, the only contact they would have after that would be through lawyers.

“He told me he was glad I had standards, and the past 5 years were great,” she explained. “Not perfect. But I believed we were happy.”

“We decided to try for a baby last year. My due date is in 16 weeks. I was over the moon happy and I believed he was too.”

“He told me when we were dating that he didn’t care if we had only boys, but he always wanted to have at least one little girl for him to pamper and spoil. When we learned the baby was a girl, he cried and told me I was the best wife in the world.”

But last weekend, Victor went on a grocery run, yet accidentally left his phone in their bedroom. She picked it up and moved it to the kitchen so he wouldn’t wonder where it was when he returned home.

While she was en route to the kitchen, she noticed a text come through from his 31-year-old “work wife,” Alicia. The message simply asked if the plan was a go.

That message seemed strange to her, so she decided to investigate further. Victor has the same exact passcode for everything in his life, so she was quickly able to figure out how to get into his phone. She then went into his texts and made a horrifying discovery.

“I checked his messages…and I learned that he intended to ask me to open the relationship so he and Alicia can start going out,” she said.

“I’ve never met an open relationship that’s ever worked out, and a number of people I’ve talked to have told me that an open relationship is usually because “someone is already cheating and wants to continue guilt-free or has someone in the wings.” And it’s clear that if he and Alicia aren’t sleeping together, they certainly intend to.”

She went way back into Victor’s texts and got screenshots of everything between him and Alicia. She sent copies to herself, packed some belongings, and went to her brother Oliver’s house.

She wrote a quick note to Victor before leaving, only saying Oliver had a sudden emergency and she was going to his place to help.

Later on, Victor texted her to say he loves her while also asking she just keep in touch about what was going on with Oliver.

In the meantime, she has scheduled an appointment with a lawyer for next week, and she’s ready to move forward with divorcing Victor.

“Honestly? I feel disgusted,” she added. “This man knew the whole time that I’m not going to play these kinds of games, and he went ahead and decided to [mess] around and find out.”

“But I don’t want to play my hand just yet. Maybe I’m being petty but I want to catch him as off guard as he caught me off guard.”

“I don’t want my baby to be around a man who believes it’s okay to make a promise to be loyal and faithful but decides to break it to chase some tail. What kind of message does that send to a child, especially a girl?”

She’s so hurt that he’s acting like she’s his side chick when she’s really his wife. Victor has since been texting and calling her to see if she’s alright, and Oliver has been replying back, pretending to be her.

She can’t bring herself to interact with Victor right now, as she’s going to flip out on him before getting her ducks in a row.

“What do I do now? How do I tell him that not only did he choose Alicia over me, but I don’t want my baby to grow up believing this kind of thing is okay?” she wondered.
