He Believes His Wife Cheated On Him With A Male Friend Last Night After Building Up The Courage For Months And Wants To File For Divorce
This 40-year-old guy and his wife, who’s 43, have been together for 13 years, married for 10 years, and have children. But their relationship has been on the rocks recently, and just last night, he thinks she cheated on him.
That’s because, yesterday evening, his wife randomly stated that she needed to go out and “buy some things for the house.” He found that strange for two reasons.
First, she hates shopping. Secondly, she went with a male friend he didn’t personally know and was gone for several hours.
“It felt strange because she got ready as if it were a date,” he recalled.
So, after his wife left, he decided to do some snooping around their bedroom. This led him to discover his wife had supposedly worn some steamy garments that were typically reserved for just their romantic moments together.
Still, he continued on with his night, taking care of his kids and handling their bedtime routine. And later, once his wife returned home, he wanted to know what she’d been up to.
However, his wife refused to tell him anything about the man she was with, aside from his first name. She also claimed that, in order to stay in their marriage, she needed some time for herself.
When he learned her male friend’s first name, he realized that he’d seen his wife messaging the same man over the past few months.
“At the time, I didn’t think much of it since it was the name of a work friend, and they occasionally need to reach out after hours for big projects,” he detailed.

Now, though, he believes that his wife has been slowly building up some “courage” to cheat on him, especially because their love life has been nonexistent over the past two months, and his wife has become hostile without any explanation.
For instance, last week, his wife suddenly told him that she didn’t want to be married anymore and swore it had nothing to do with him, which he found outrageous.
“And before anyone suggests I’m not doing enough as a husband, I handle 100% of the childcare, grocery shopping, and housework, and I work from home, although she is the primary breadwinner,” he noted.
According to him, he’s also mature, emotionally available, and doesn’t have a temper. Plus, he maintains his appearance for his wife, isn’t controlling, and never objects to her being friends with men.
Nonetheless, he truly believes that his wife is currently having an affair, and he’s heartbroken.
“I’m completely shattered, feeling like my world is falling apart. I don’t even know how to talk to her about it,” he vented.
“She’s been so angry lately that communication is a nightmare.”
The state of their marriage and his suspicions that she’s cheating have even pushed him to consider filing for divorce. Yet he’s not sure if leaving his wife and breaking up their children’s home would be the wrong move here.
Do you agree that his wife’s behavior is a red flag? How can he know for sure if his wife is cheating? What would you do in his shoes?
