I don’t start my own threads very often but have posted before, I’ve read all the threads and advice given on cheating spouses so thought I’d share this with you all.
My friend discovered a few weeks ago that her husband has been texting a woman from work. It looks like nothing sexual has happened but there is a lot of personal, flirtatious talk. The OW talks a lot about very personal details of her sex life and how unhappy she is. The happy texters have chatted openly about the chemistry they have and how the sparks fly when they’re in the same room etc...
My friend sees it as a betrayal that is as bad as if they had actually had sex and has snapped into action. Her DH has no idea that she knows... He has to work until 3pm today. She has a taxi booked for 2pm to take all of his belongings to his mothers. The locks are being changed this morning (her brother is a builder) and she is changing the alarm code. She has an email pre typed to tell him all this which she intends to send as soon as the Taxi has gone. She also has an email with all the messages on that she is going to send to the OW telling that’s she is going to send it to her husband. (She actually doesn’t have his email address but OW won’t know this).
She has booked herself into a hotel for the Christmas period so that she is not alone...her choice, I invited to spend it with us but she declined.
I told her ‘it was like something from mumsnet’ and she should post on here but I’m not sure anyone could have advised her. She doesn’t appear to need help. She seems so calm and determined.
He thinks he’s coming home at 3pm for Christmas and she won’t even be there and neither will his clothes...
She’s very independent. I’ve known her for years.
The timing is rubbish but she seems almost too calm...
They have one grown up son who is away travelling and I’m not sure whether the OW has kids... My friend says that isn’t her issue.
I know I’m going to be clock watching all day ....
