Ever since I noticed that pattern in my relationship last year and shared it here, people in the comment section kept telling me she had another man. I didn’t believe them because we stayed together, went to work together, and came home together. From the outside, everything looked normal.

But around February and March, I started noticing small things. Anytime I travelled, I couldn’t reach her the first night. When I called, she either didn’t pick or her phone would be off. The next morning, she would call back and say she had slept off or her phone had gone off. It kept happening, but I kept quiet.

One day, I called her and she didn’t pick. Later she called back with the same explanation. Not long after, her phone went off again. That one really hit me. I sent someone to her house to deliver a message, but he knocked for several minutes and nobody opened the door.

At that point, I told myself I needed clarity. I wasn’t going to accuse her without proof, but I also couldn’t keep living in confusion, so I waited.

Last week, I got access to her phone. That night I was tired, so I didn’t check everything properly. But I saw a blocked number on Truecaller. The strange thing was that the number had been blocked the same day it appeared. I didn’t think much of it at first and assumed it was just a random guy.

Yesterday, I stayed awake and went through everything properly. That was when I saw the truth. The same number had been blocked again that same day, but this time I checked deeper and saw that they had been talking for about a week. I also saw that the guy had been sending her money. I started taking screenshots because I knew she would deny everything.

Then I checked her business WhatsApp, and that was where it really hit me.

There were messages like “short 250” and “night 400.” The dates were from last September, and we were already together at that time. Those same February and March nights I couldn’t reach her suddenly started making sense. I took pictures of everything.

This morning, when she woke up, I showed her what I had found. She denied everything. She said it was not true and that nothing like that ever happened.

I asked her one question, “So should I call the man whose number you always block whenever you are with me?”

She didn’t answer. She just took my new perfume and walked out. She even left the gas she brought to my place so we could cook last night because I had forgotten mine when I got down from the bus.

Just two weeks ago, on my birthday, she was here. She bought me clothes and shoes, posted me, and wrote a long caption celebrating the man I am. That day I felt loved. Honestly, I felt like a king.

Now I’m left with one question. Can someone love you and still cheat on you?

Maybe we need to have a proper conversation about what love really is and what is actually happening in today’s dating world. It feels too chaotic, too messy, for a world where we all know we will not be here forever. Everyone needs to do better.

As I write this, she hasn’t called. And to be honest, I feel a bit relieved that I finally know the truth before building a future on something that wasn’t real. Later, I saw old messages where she said she doesn’t love me that much. She said I was a businessman who could help her grow, and she even mentioned the name of the man she actually loved.

Joy, I loved you sincerely. If you used me, then I guess I’ve also learned my lesson the hard way.
