Our intuition is there to protect us. So, I believe that when you have a gut feeling something is “off,” you should usually trust it.
That’s exactly what this 38-year-old man did last week, and in the end, he wound up catching his 43-year-old fiancée cheating on him.
To paint the picture, he’d been sensing his fiancée’s strange behavior for weeks. She supposedly started acting weird around her phone by hiding it from him and keeping the device glued to her side. Not to mention, she even began staying up super late, until between 3:00 a.m. and 5:00 a.m., despite having to get up for work at 8:00 a.m. the next day.
That’s why, on Tuesday of last week, he decided to take a day off from work. And his time spent at home ultimately led to the discovery that his fiancée had been seeing her ex-husband.
He started that day by getting some chores, such as mowing the lawn, done around the house. Yet, every other hour, his fiancée kept texting him and asking what he was doing.
“So, she gets off work at 5:00 p.m., and from 4:30 p.m. to that time, she was really blowing my phone up, kind of making sure I was home,” he recalled.
However, his fiancée usually gives him a call every time she leaves work. And by 5:30 p.m., he still hadn’t heard anything, so he tried calling her, but there was no answer.
At that moment, he remembered how, months ago, his fiancée broached the idea of getting Life360, a location-sharing app. She thought it’d be nice to have in case there was an emergency, and he didn’t have any problem getting the app since he had nothing to hide.
Well, given his fiancée wasn’t responding that Tuesday evening, he proceeded to check Life360 and saw that she was in a vacant parking lot located across from her job. This immediately set off alarm bells in his mind.

“I left the house and headed that way, and instead of pulling up directly, I parked down the street,” he detailed.
“And as soon as I looked that way, I saw her car parked beside her ex-husband’s truck.”
First, he considered driving up to both of them. But instead, he opted to sit back and watch what happened.
It only took his fiancée a few minutes to exit her ex-husband’s truck, get back into her car, and give him a call. Then, she started spewing lies about why she was late, saying that she’d been helping a co-worker catch a loose puppy in the parking lot.
In response, he stated it was “crazy,” and when his fiancée asked what he meant by that, he called her out.
“I said it looks to me like you were talking to your ex-husband of 19 years of marriage and six years of divorce, with whom you have two grown children,” he revealed.
His fiancée attempted to deny it at first, yet once he sent a photo of them together, she tried to backtrack. Initially, she claimed that she’d met up with her ex to get some papers for her son.
Nonetheless, in the end, she admitted to “only” kissing her ex. Apparently, it was an “accident,” and her ex had talked her into the kiss.
The real kicker is how, after trying to lie, his fiancée asked him not to leave and believed they could “work through it.”
“But I don’t know what to do about this now or what I want, and I’m so torn because I love her so much,” he stated.
To complicate matters even further, his fiancée’s eldest son and her son’s girlfriend also live with them. And once they found out about the situation, they were actually mad at him for getting angry with his fiancée and “having words” with her.
So, his fiancée’s son is no longer speaking to him, and his fiancée feels like she has to take her son’s side.
“Not to mention, her son and his girlfriend went to his dad’s house today and came home. And when they got here, they whispered back and forth on the couch with my fiancée for some time while I was in the bedroom watching TV,” he vented.
This has made things pretty awkward between the four of them. And in his own romantic relationship, there has been no affection whatsoever.
He feels like he currently has to beg for any attention from his fiancée, and deep down, he’s worried that she’s still talking to her ex-husband.
Regardless, since they can’t even discuss the issue, he’s at a loss over what to do.
How would you feel if your future spouse blatantly lied to you like that? Should he call off their engagement and leave her?
