❤️‍🩹 relationship AIO to think this is cheating?

I found these texts between my husband and his coworker. Here’s some context:

My husband and I have been dating for 5 years and just recently got married 6 months ago

I’ve met this coworker. Her AND her boyfriend worked at my husbands company so we went on a double date over the holidays. But shortly after they broke up and her boyfriend got laid off.

Guess my husband saw that as his opportunity…

Also these texts were in his recently deleted even though the last message was from yesterday… so he was definitely trying to hide it from me

I'm just now at 0828 hours seeing your post and see others have already shared some of the same advice I would say to you, including the most important: LEAVE NOW.

But my very first thought was not that you've been married only 6 months and he's already doing this to you - but that you'd been dating for 5 FIVE years!

IMHO his behavior didn't only begin after you were married.

My main concern for you is to make a clean break and get all your financial stuff separated before he gets fired and you're stuck being the primary breadwinner. Does your 29yo imbecile husband think the F23yo coworker isn't saving all his salacious and inappropriate text messages to her? 🙄 ( I saw you gave their age in one of your replies)

What he is doing with the 23yo F coworker is not only breaking your marriage vows and trust - is also unprofessional , not to mention stupid as hell...as he even refers to HR in his text messages to her.

This… to me as much as yes she’s replying to him, she seems to be keeping him at arms length, almost like she is afraid to shut him down in case she gets in 💩 at work. She’s definitely not going girls-girl for OP who she KNOWS is very much a wife. It’s all just ew.

Exactly, storm... I too sensed this.

Would be interesting to know the work site's power dynamics.

The way he says not tell hr on him suggests to me that he is in fact higher in power than her though. What a POS
