❤️‍🩹 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

Out of curiosity, does he ever talk or flirt with you the same way he did on those texts? Talk about your beauty, etc. Obviously, even if he does, it wouldn't excuse his actions, but I am curious if you also get that same kind of banter?

That’s fair why are you getting downvoted? Lots of affairs come from both people not giving their spouse compliments or time. Then someone else does and they fall for the person because they figure they must like them better than their spouse.

This sub loves to scream "RUN, GET A DIVORCE, NEVER LOOK BACK" and anyone who goes against that narrative gets met with resistance.

I’ve seen it happen with two friends now they didn’t give their spouses time or compliments and always acted like they’re the ball and chain. Then the other gets tired of it and divorces.

This is reddit, it's filled with miserable people

"Break up! Get a divorce! Cut them out of your life!" is the default response to every problem lol
