So I (23m) found out my wife (25f) cheated on me 2 days ago while I was at work.
I’m still awake at 1am writing this after hours of thinking and not beating able to sleep and trying to wrap my head around this.
My wife and I have been together for 6 years and only married for 4 months. We have had our ups and downs throughout like any other relationship but for some reason the past couple weeks we have been arguing more than regular. We normally just talk through our problems and sort them out which I thought would happen, but apparently not.
I got home Friday morning around 5am (I work nights) and found she had fallen asleep with her phone in hand, I grabbed it to put it on charge for her and I flipped it and saw a notification from a guy I never heard of and saw it was a dirty text, at first I was like it’s nothing, but eventually curiosity got the better of me and I had to make sure. I’m not one to snoop but it was just not normal and I found that she had invited him around that evening when I left. You can guess what happened. My stomach just dropped and I got out of bed and just went into a full blown panic attack to which she woke up and asked what was the matter I gave her her phone and just left. I’ve barley slept and when I do I just have nightmares, she has said everything you can think of but said she will not give an excuse I packed a bag and am staying at my parents place and I feel like I have lost everything and have no idea what to do so I came here.
I will thank anyone who responds in advance and will try and answers any questions and if you have any advice it will be much appreciated. Thank you Sorry it’s long
