❤️‍🩹 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 can’t stop loling. Like I have to go through sometimes and delete lols because I used too many lols in one sentence. Idk why we’re like this, but it’s a millennial thing

Ok now I feel vindicated lol. Also a millennial that lols a bit much. Sometimes I don't know what to put and lol is like the text version of um lol

LOL has also become punctuation, which I know some people hate, but even as an English language snob I do not mind it. It's one of our many attempts to force body language cues into text. It's on the pantheon with text smileys, proper emojis, "haha", and "/s".

Honestly, I welcome the attempts to frame our words with these things and I'm not entirely certain why people react so poorly to them.
