Is my husband cheating?

66 replies

From last three months, husband is acting fishy. He has joined snooker club etc . He is out most of the time and he has started drinking a lot recently. He doesn't like me to interrupt him by calling etc when he is out.
This afternoon I was cooking food but he left without eating. His response was that he was getting late for his game.
After three hours , I noticed he didn't take his car. His club is about 3 miles from our house.
I texted him about car and his reply was that he walked down.
I couldn't digest the fact that why would he walk if he is already getting late etc.
Then I noticed that he left his other phone on his desk. This phone is only for his WhatsApp and Tiktok . I couldn't control and looked at his phone. All his tiktok watch history was watching other women and he has sent five or six requests to local women in one particular day on facebook, a day before our 12th wedding anniversary.

He sleeps in different room because of mattress issues and always on phone .

I feel very unsettled and don't know whether to confront him just yet . I have taken all the screenshots.

Our sex life was used to be good but from few months it's only once a month.
I feel heartbroken.

I think it’s clear he’s exited tne marriage and has been looking for someone else.

he’s now realised the cost of this. Child maintenance, running his own place. Looking after the kids on his own.

is that what you want from s marriage. Someone who is there becayde he will be a bit skint and have to juggle kids on his own?

id keep him gone

iamhurt · 16/01/2023 16:21

yes, you are right. I didn't think that way. I 'm emotional mess now. Not wanting to end the relationship is all about his status in society and financial cost.

And being caught out. Not so clever now.

Not taking the car is surely sensible if he's out drinking he obviously can't drive.

I wouldn't want a man like that and he doesn't deserve a woman he doesn't respect.

He wanted his cake and eat it and if you'd let him he'd have happily carried on.
The tears will only last until he gets what he wants and then after you've calmed down he'll be back to his old ways.
If he loves and cared for you he wouldn't have done this to you in the first place.

Well he treats you like shit and us making you miserable. Why does ge have to be cheating fir this to end? Surely treating you this way is actually worse than cheating if anything (which, btw, his is also doing or at least trying to).

Time to call an end to this sham marriage op. The love is gone. Contempt has settled in. See a solicitor and get your ducks inorder before yelling him though.

*telling him

Yes, his crying and begging are manipulative tactics, the same as the ignoring, then anger, then shifting blame to your period, then name-calling you a maniac, then invading your space in a threatening manner.

He now fears you mean business, so he’s pulling out all the stops to put you back in your lane.

He has unilaterally changed the parameters of your marriage and believes he doesn’t have to answer to you about anything. He’s out at night, acting like a bachelor, pursuing women, and abusing alcohol.

Who knows if he is really spending all that time at this snooker club or what is really going on there. He claims that he hasn’t slept with any of these women, but I wouldn’t necessarily believe that. At the very least he is flirting and trying it on, and possibly investing in EAs.

Most importantly, he is treating you and the children like something he stepped in. Making a power play re the mortgage/threatening to not pay it was a despicable, bullying move.

@iamhurt, please don’t fall for his contrived agenda of using big tears and false promises for damage limitation.

Hi op, sorry I'm late to the thread. I really hope you didn't give your DH another chance. When reading your post I just felt like I wrote it..everything you've said down to being agressive, then crying etc after..saying he will delete apps. I unfortunately spent years being told it was all in my head etc and eventually I caught him out. He still denies everything to this day. I stayed but now I realise he will never change xx

WentForAWalk · 22/02/2023 21:33

Sorry this is happening to you OP.

Sounds like he's having an affair to me, but even if he isn't - he's gaslighting you (making you think you are crazy) and is aggressive enough for you to call the police.

You will now be read the script (read up).

usernamenotavailable99 · 17/08/2023 22:13

Whether he is fully cheating or not his behaviour is horrid. Tell him you want to split up as you can do a lot better than this!
