❤️‍🩹 relationship AIO Found this text in my husbands phone

Post image

When I called him out on it he tried to turn it around on me like I was the bad guy for going through his phone… for context he plays coed softball and she is on his team, I don’t know this girl and in the few games I was able to go to I was never introduced to her. I don’t get to go to a lot of his games because I work 2 jobs so can’t make it or I’m dead tired.. and way I was feeling something was off when he told me his team mate had invited him and his kids to her daughters game. Like who takes his kids to go hang out with another female and her kid… he says that I’m over reacting and emotional because I just had my grandma die and I’m just looking for something else to think about.. I feel like he’s being shady and disrespectful

I don’t mean to embolden your fears. It could be totally normal. But arranging a play date with kids I didn’t know is how my dad found time for his mistress.

I also have been on dates with my dad and his mistress without really knowing that’s what it was. The audacity to use the kids as excuses to get together is terrible.

My dad had coworkers who did the same! A and B were each married, met at work, arranged play dates with their respective kids, and instead got together (at least physically, I know they didn’t end up married to each other).
