This 28-year-old man’s girlfriend, 25, has a job working at a bar. They have been in a relationship for two years.
She developed a friendship with one of her regular patrons, 41.
He has visited his girlfriend while she’s working, and he’s met the man she’s friends with. They got along pretty well and would talk while hanging out at the bar.
His girlfriend then informed him one day that after she was done working, she was going to go out with her friend. She got pretty intoxicated, and her friend was sober.
“He drove her around downtown, and they went to a park to run around. He didn’t drop her off until 6 a.m.,” he said.
Right away, he told his girlfriend how uneasy this made him. He was worried and didn’t feel like she was taking her relationship with him into consideration.
In response, she said that she was just friends with the other man and that she knew he didn’t have a crush on her, either.
Throughout the next several months, his girlfriend was constantly hanging out with her friend, always just the two of them.
“I kept asking her to stop going on dates with another guy, and she would say, ‘It’s not a date if we don’t hook up.’ There were a few times I hung out with them, and it just felt awkward and like I was the third wheel,” he explained.
It became a cycle in which he would constantly tell his girlfriend that it was strange that she was always hanging out with this friend one-on-one, and she would reassure him that it was just an innocent friendship.
Later on, he and his girlfriend spent the weekend in a different city. When he woke up one morning over the weekend, he had a sneaking suspicion that he couldn’t shake. While his girlfriend was still sleeping, he grabbed her phone and snooped through her text messages.
“I saw them talking bad about me and some obvious flirting, and I felt so betrayed. I confronted her when she woke up, and she basically refused to defend herself. We spent a three-hour car ride home in silence,” he shared.
The following day, he sent her a text, asking if they could have a talk about everything, and all she said was “‘No.'”
He assumed that she just needed some time to be alone, so he didn’t reach out to her again.
Two days later, his girlfriend texted him to ask if he was available to talk on Friday night after her shift was over. He said that that would work for him.
On Friday, he woke up early and experienced the same sneaking suspicion that he’d had before he looked at his girlfriend’s phone.
So, instead of going over to his girlfriend’s place after she was done with work, he planned to drive over before she would be leaving instead.
When he got to her place, he saw her friend’s car parked outside. Immediately, he knew what was going on.
Moments later, he found his girlfriend in bed with the man that she’d claimed she was only friends with.
Obviously, he was heartbroken that after dating for two years, his girlfriend did this to him.
Even though he knows that he shouldn’t have snooped through his girlfriend’s phone while she was sleeping to read her text messages, he only did so because deep down, he knew that there was something going on between her and her friend.
Do you think he was wrong for snooping through his girlfriend’s phone?
