My husband went out with my friend without my knowledge. Not once, but twice. I talk to my friend every day, and she never mentioned it until I got to know about it through very strange circumstances. I asked my husband why, and he told me my friend was going through problems with her boyfriend and needed a man’s perspective.

That was where he unknowingly created a window in the story. I know my friend better than he does, and I knew my friend didn’t have any boyfriend, so what was he talking about?

I didn’t make a fuss about it but decided to do my own investigation. My husband’s phone is like a high-security prison that you have to go through several protocols to get into. It was hard. He has different passwords for different apps. As much as I had the password to the phone, I couldn’t access his WhatsApp.

I turned my attention to my friend. I asked her to give me her phone so I could make a call. I stepped out with the phone and went through the messages between her and my husband. What I thought was once wasn’t once. They had been meeting every now and then and talked about it freely in their chat. I didn’t have time to read through everything, but I saw enough to know something was going on, looking at the times they went out together. They were even planning a trip.

When I gave the phone back to her, I asked, “What do you have with my husband that I don’t know about?”

Her face changed. She squirmed a little before asking me, “What kind of question is that? What do you mean, what do I have with your husband?”

I told her, “I’ve read the messages on your phone and his. I want to hear it directly from you.”

She started stuttering. My husband said she had boyfriend issues and they met to talk about it, but she said my husband met her accidentally and they talked. I asked, “How about the trip you two are planning? Where are you going?”

She buried her face in her palms and told me she couldn’t talk about everything, so I should speak to my husband about it.

I Left Him Because He Didn’t Help In The Kitchen

My husband came home that day looking guilty, expecting me to ask questions, but I didn’t ask him anything. And for the past three days, he’s been acting jumpy, doing everything for me to talk about what he already knows so he can give me his defenses. I won’t ask, and I won’t give him any opportunity to discuss the issue.

At the right time, I will strike him at his weakest point, and he will be the one to go down and beg. But it will be too late for him.
