This happened a few years ago now and I can look back and chuckle. A friend is currently going through a break up due to partners infidelity and we were discussing the shit they both came out with to hide or justify their behaviour.
Here's mine,
A few years ago I found out my ex husband had cheated on me with many different women throughout our entire relationship.
This was a shock as everyone knew him as a wonderful, highly moral family man, considered quite the saint in our social circles but living a double life.
No one at his work knew he was married, he took his wedding ring off and dated or chased half a dozen women that I actually know of and I found out about his extra-curricular activities due to a throw away comment made via his colleague who just so happened to visit a family member I was also visiting! - think emergency services.
After a quick search of msgs etc on his phone and computer lots of things unfolded which to this day he still disputes, despite msgs, pictures, declarations of love, taking our children on days out with these women, the whole shebang!
For the sake of my kids I stayed, until a year later when on holiday I saw him msging another colleague while he thought I was asleep.
He swore blind they were just friends - of course - who doesn't msg their colleagues while on an extended family holiday abroad!?!
Anyway, this time I told him to msg the women and inform them that his wife doesn't appreciate him msging other woman on holiday in front of me. She was of course very upset that he had waisted her time and stated they had been dating for months.
He still swears that he has no idea why she would believe that they were dating, but i may be crazy but i think i would need more than pally txt msgs to believe someone was my bf!
Other shit he said was, I didn't think you were bothered - we had been married for 10 years at this point and had no behaviour or conversations to suggest otherwise.
It was just a kids play date....the kids were the children of one of the woman he was dating whilst actively married to me!
Has everyone with cheating partners experienced the same?
