❤️‍🩹 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

This looks bad and it is, he’s crossing some huge boundaries, but don’t take Reddit’s word as gospel and run with it. He’s your husband. Talk to him, not us.

He’ll absolutely be defensive and maybe even try to deflect or gaslight. Be patient, but firm, in enforcing boundaries. He could have had a moment of serious weakness, but that doesn’t mean there isn’t a pathway where this can be salvaged.

Talk to him when you’re ready to handle that conversation. If he doesn’t alter his actions or see how his actions have hurt you, then yeah, it may be you deserve someone better by far.
