I need some brutal honesty…
Context - Me and my partner have been together 6 years in total (having one year being spent split up) we were still sleeping together and I fell pregnant and we now have a 4 month old, when I found out I was pregnant we got back together and made a real go of things to be a family.
Last week me and my partner kept pointless bickering so I decided to stay at my mums with the baby for a few days, he asked me to come back home, so I did and he had bought me flowers, pyjamas, chocolates and cooked me dinner, we made up.
That night I had a gut instinct something just wasn’t right; so i went through his phone, it turned out the night before he went out and got off his face and didn’t get home till 5am that morning (off his face on drugs)
I was so let down and hurt, and also felt betrayed how he could go out and not tell me?? I’m not by all means controlling but I think common decency you should tell your partner if your going out, he told me he went round his friends, I asked him to be completely honest with me if he has gone out before without telling me and he admitted there is several times he has gone out and done drugs and not told me about any of it.
Next day- I forgave him, I was more concerned about the drugs and didn’t want this to be an ongoing problem.
That night, I felt there was more to this, my gut instinct again- so I went on his phone again, I found messages from this girl (I knew he was friends with this girl; but from my perspective she was never spoken about and they only catches up through text once a month or something)
It turns out he speaks to this girl all of the time, in the last week they went and drove to get a McDonald’s together and he went round her house to put up her TV.
Again, I’m not controlling- but shouldn’t you tell your partner being that friendly with a girl?? He made me feel like I was insane and that it’s no different to it being a boy and I was nuts.
I stayed at home but was off with him for several days because of this, I asked him to be completely honest with me about everything and he said that’s the only 2 times
I don’t actually think he is cheating, I just don’t believe it’s in his character but there was messages from when we was in a row ‘bantering’ about taking mine kid and hers and running off to Dubai!!
Fast forward a few days, I actually see this girl while I had my baby, I was introduced as the partner and she barely even looked at me and didn’t even say hello to my child, am I going insane? If I was friends with a boy I would be so friendly towards the girlfriend and their child! My partner told me she probably feels awkward as he has told her I’ve gone through his phone and im pissed off, again- why is he airing our dirty laundry to this girl??
Fast forward to this morning, I’ve had no sleep, I’ve gone on his phone again - I needed to know what was said about the above situation, I found out the night he went out and didn’t tell me and went round his friends, he disappeared for 4 hours and was actually with the girl (there was other people there to) but he failed to tell me! I confronted him this morning and he has gone absolute mad at me (while I’m in tears) saying that I’m wrong for going on his phone and I’m a weirdo and insane etc …
(I know I shouldn’t have gone on his phone and it’s wrong, but I really felt there was stuff I didn’t know)
Please tell me honest opinions on this because he is making me feel like I am insane!!!
I really don’t want to be with him anymore but I’m so scared how it will affect our baby
