Lady: I didn’t say yes to you because you asked for nudes before proposing to me.”

My Husband: “Maybe I wanted to know what I would get before I got it. I’m sorry.”

Lady: “No problem. It’s all in the past now.”

My Husband: “If you said yes, I wouldn’t have married her. You pushed me to make this bad choice…”

This is a conversation between my husband and a lady who used to work with him at his office. He introduced her to me once when we were dating. He said she was a colleague and a very good friend. When the lady left the company where they were working together, I remember he told me about it.

We dated for two years and later got married. We’ve been married for three years and I’m seven months pregnant. I was going through my husband’s phone recently when I discovered this chat on his phone. It’s a conversation they had days ago.

The fact that I’m a second choice isn’t what hurt me but the fact that my husband is painting me as a bad choice in front of a lady who said no to him is what is breaking my heart. For three years, I’ve been nothing but a good wife. When he didn’t have it, I provided. When he fell, I caught him mid-air and gave him a safety net to fall on. I jump when he asks me to. He asks me to sink and I ask, “How deep?”

“Maybe he’s lying to the lady to make her feel good about herself,” I told myself until I read the rest of the chat;

My Husband: “Even today if you give me a chance, I will correct my mistake.”

“Lady: “😄😄😄 You still think there’s a chance? When you’re already married?”

My Husband: “That’s because I still love you. You’re the true love that got away.”

At this point, I let the phone drop from my hand so I could cry. I didn’t go back to the messages again. It hurts. Obviously, he’s looking for a chance to sleep with her and the way the lady is entertaining him, something might happen along the way. I didn’t want to know that so I stopped reading.

The weight of this pregnancy is already heavy. I don’t want to add another weight to it so I haven’t asked him anything. I want to lie to myself that my husband was lying so I can feel better about what I read but when I give birth and come back home in one full piece, I will ask questions. After the questions, I will decide whether or not to carry his burden away by leaving his life.

He’s just a man—a man I married with all his flaws. I haven’t complained because he’s all that I have but if he decides to shame me because he wants another thrill in a different skirt, then let his will be done.
