There’re several heart-wrenching tales of infidelity scattered across the Internet, and some are stories from our loved ones. This is a story that anyone who has been with an unfaithful partner can relate to and it’s also a wake-up call for anyone who’s in a dilemma.
Here’s Alicia’s story
We started dating in 2014 and after a year, we got married in 2015. He got promoted at work in 2018 and that’s when I started noticing changes. He got busier, missed a lot of date nights, family dinners, and events. He even went for the entire weekend sometimes which he called business trips. From the time we were dating, I’ve always had access to his phone. I thought I had his password, but I never snooped on his phone, so, I didn’t even know when he changed it.
It came as a shock when I tried to check his phone and the password came back as incorrect. I talked to him about it, he replied that there were some confidential work kinds of stuff on his phone, and which prompted him to change his password and wouldn’t oblige me with the new one. I knew something deeper was going on, but I had no proof and as such, I couldn’t confront him.
His lackadaisical attitude towards our marriage got worse and things were falling apart. Again, I spoke to him about these issues, he apologized and blamed it on having a lot of work responsibilities to handle. He made me feel like I was imagining the distance in our relationship and blowing the situation out of proportion. I decided to confide in my sister about it, she carried out some research and decided that it was best if I hired private investigator who could get me the details of what my husband was up to and with concrete evidence.
It took a lot of convincing, but I finally gave in. A week after contacting the ethical investigators, I was provided with proof of my husband’s infidelity. My husband was being unfaithful, and I got the proof of all the WhatsApp messages, pictures, and videos that my husband exchanged with his lover. It was a very painful discovery but finally, I had peace of mind. I had the proof with which I needed to get out of that emotionally abusive and draining marriage. I got the location for his next meeting with his lover, and I showed up there. I caught him in the woman’s house, she was pregnant. I served him with the divorce papers days after the incident, I moved to a different city with my kids. I’m happier and super excited about the rest of my future.
Infidelity is more common than you think and sometimes, there are no signs to show whether your Cheating partner is cheating or not but always trust your gut and make sure you find a way to get evidence before any confrontation. Whether or not you choose to forgive and continue the relationship is up to you - Hack Network Group
