She Figured Out That Her Husband Has Been Having An Affair With A 22-Year-Old Girl At His Office

If you found out that your spouse was cheating on you with someone at work, but you didn't want to get a divorce, how would you recover from the infidelity?

This 39-year-old woman and her husband, who is the same age as her, have been married for the last 12 years, and they have two sons who are 8 and 9.

From the outside looking in, they appear to be a lucky, perfect family. Her husband has an incredible career and is now in management at a company that he's been at for nearly 15 years.

Following the birth of her kids, she and her husband made the decision that she should be a stay-at-home mom until their kids reach high school, since her husband makes so much money it's more than enough to provide for all of them.

"I thought we had it all. I honestly didn’t know if he was acting different; he has always worked long hours and sometimes overnight, and always has projects he's working on at home or with his buddies," she explained.

"I never thought he would even have any time to cheat; he always said he was just tired, and I usually am too at the end of the day, so I never thought anything more."

"Last week he left his phone in the kitchen when our neighbor stopped by, and they started having drinks in our garage. He was watching something on YouTube, so it was unlocked."

She had a gut instinct to check his phone, and she went through his messages, but didn't find anything alarming. That bad feeling persisted, and she took a peek in his deleted iMessages, where she found out that her husband has been having an affair with his 22-year-old coworker, Stacy.

All of the evidence was there. The affair kicked off as February came to an end, and in the first messages they exchanged, they were flirting.

Stacy referred to her husband as manly, and he said he loves getting to look at her. Stacy doesn't work directly for her husband, as it's an enormous company.

She looked Stacy up on Facebook and learned that she's not even in the same department as her husband. The physical part of the affair seems to have launched in April, and Stacy and her husband texted back and forth about being excited to touch one another again. Stacy even sent photos of herself when her husband asked for them.

"Of course she is a petite and pretty girl. From May until now, they’ve [been] texting about everything they have done, which is everything except for [actually sleeping together]," she added.

"It makes me sick, but I’m still in shock, so it doesnt feel real. He’s texted her from home at night a few times as well, saying how much he wants her...he’s texted her when he’s out fishing with our sons or with his friends."

"But what hurts the most is that there’s no mention of me. I never saw the words 'wife' or 'married,' and of course Stacy never asked. Their messages are all about how much they want each other."

Their exchanges are pretty hot and heavy mostly, but they compliment one another and joke around. Her husband always tells Stacy that he can't quit thinking about her.

The only reason she hasn't gone crazy is because of how juvenile her husband and Stacy come across while chatting. As soon as she found the messages, she confronted her husband later on in the evening. All he said was sorry.

She asked her husband to leave the house, and he's been at a hotel for the last week. He says he's giving her time to think. She hasn't talked to her husband aside from him asking how their kids are doing.

"I want our marriage to work; our boys would be completely devastated, and I can’t imagine a life without our family staying together," she continued.

"It still doesnt feel real. I haven’t told my friends or family because I’m embarrassed. I spend all my days taking care of our kids and the house, and I don’t think I gained that much weight, but I’m not a cute, bubbly 22-year-old who’s mesmerized by my husband’s every breath."

"Our [romantic] life hasn’t been the most active the past few years, but again we both are tired at the end of most days. My sons are asking when Dad’s coming back, and I just said he’s on a work trip. Please give me advice on how to recover."

How much do you want to bet her husband and Stacy are at that hotel together? I can't believe the audacity her husband has, telling her he's giving her some time to consider her options!

Sadly, I think she has to end her marriage because her husband isn't showing her any remorse, and it seems like he's not willing to let Stacy go, as he didn't even bring that up.

What do you think she should do?
