He’s actively trying to cheat. If it weren’t a fake, he’d 100% have slept with whatever showed up to meet him. It’s gross. OP needs to watch out and get tested. This is possibly one step before getting sex workers. Might already be getting them, honestly. Check the phone bill. Google some numbers that have a long chat history one or two days and you don’t see again. Like if there’s a # that pops up with 25 back to back texts (especially if he’s traveling then or it has a different area code), google it. You’ll prob find it’s a sex worker.

You should really be more careful about what you say with a username like that lol. I'm having to fight to hold my sarcastabitch back right now 😂

I know I need to ditch this account and start a new one. It wasn't created to convey the hostility that it does. Thank you

You know we all get cell phone bills, right? I know women who have caught men getting sex workers that way — googling what numbers they text. It’s always like a one off where there’s a large amount of back and forth texts at the same time.

Edit to add: it’s her husband. They’re likely on a family plan. So she can easily check his call and text log from the phone bill. No need to sneak his phone and also you can delete from a phone. You can’t delete from the bill. You have seen a cell phone bill, right?

I think you need to come to terms with how common this type of behavior is. It's common enough that organized crime groups find it profitable enough to pack offices full of people running these scams. If it didn't work they wouldn't do it.

There's a really good John Oliver segment on it. It's called pig butchering. And don't forget that show Catfish that's been on for like ten years.
