This woman and her fiancé have been together for over a decade, and they have been through a lot together.
From her fiancé’s struggles with addiction to his financial issues and bouncing between many different jobs, she was by his side through it all– acting as his biggest cheerleader.
“I always had faith in him that he would find the job he loved doing,” she recalled.
She also never showed her fiancé that she was stressed out because she didn’t want to put any burdens on him. Looking back now, though, she believes that perhaps she should have.
Earlier this year, things did seem like they were looking up for her fiancé after he found a really great job.
And yes, they still had their own struggles in the relationship. But she had no clue just how unhappy her fiancé was.
Well, that was until she recently found out that he had secret friends and was even messaging another woman behind her back.
She confronted her fiancé after finding out about the texts, too, and although it took a while to get her fiancé to open up, he also eventually admitted that the messages were more than just platonic.
So, she tried to talk to her fiancé and get through their problems together.
“And we decided that we wanted to work on our relationship,” she explained.
However, her fiancé refused to stop talking to the other woman. On top of that, he tried to claim that he wasn’t cheating.
She pushed back against her fiancé, arguing that he was, in fact, being unfaithful. Then, just two days later, she found out that her fiancé was actually at the other woman’s house!
Apparently, her fiancé was angry since he believed he was entitled to have his own friends outside of their relationship. But, to her, that just feels like he’s leading a shady, secret life.
“And I couldn’t do it,” she admitted.
That’s why she wound up kicking her fiancé out of their home. But now, ever since, she hasn’t been able to stop wondering if that was the wrong way to handle the situation or not.
Does it sound like her fiancé was just using her as a crutch for all these years? Do you think he finally showed his true colors after she was by his side through thick and thin? Did she have a right to kick her fiancé out after he went to the woman’s house? What would you have done?
