Do seemingly happy, loving husbands ever fake it all?

[unk1nd]

I'm really confused. It seems that my sister's loving, devoted husband who posts daily sweet, lovey-dovey messages on her Facebook account for all her friends and family to see and who is always complimenting her on how beautiful, talented and lovely she is, who I always thought was devoted to her, the perfect family man, has been messaging other women, telling them how unhappy he is and how he doesn't love his wife.

My sister is devastated and I am in shock. They have been married 20 years! Is this common? How can someone fake something so completely? Makes me wonder if everyone is faking it. I don't know how to comfort her. It is like Jekyll and Hyde.

Yes, some do

Yep, massive red flag of someone making these kind of declarations........ I'm cringing that's he actually does this. Maybe trying to convince the world and himself that he's happy. He's a twat.

Hey OP, I'm sorry to hear about your sister and I think you must be a good soul when you ask how you can support her. To answer: take her away on a nice trip somewhere both of you would like to go, or even just get her over to yours for a glass of wine and comfort food - the frequency and your availability to her is key here. You probably know what she would really like, so use it to give her a safe haven, even if it's for short periods. That's what I would do for my sister.

As for the SM side of things - sorry, I agree with the others, the more people post that stuff, the less believable it is. Always made my skin crawl, tbh. People who are truly happy and secure in their relationship never feel the need to share that publicly. Probably too busy living their life together rather than writing about it away from each other.
