Hello everyone, thank you again for being here offering advice, words of wisdom and also trying to knock some type of sense into me. @dontgiveup had asked me have I went through his phone and I had not until this morning when he left in a huge rush to pick up breakfast for me and the kids.

From the looks of things, he spent Sunday all day with her, when he told me he had to go to his office for a run-through for new procedures when they start back in the office. He SPENT ALL DAY SUNDAY WITH HER!!!!!!! How is it that he spent a weekend with me and throws himself back with her——? She expressed her discontent and he told her he understood and that he went because I had planned it and how I had told everyone what we were doing and he was only "obliged" to go! HOW DOES HE SAY HE WAS OBLIGED TO GO———? It's as if I pulled his leg or something!!!!!! If he didn't want to go he should have so! To me, I thought he was having a good time! I know I am not that delusional to think that we had a good time unless he is a great fucking actor!!!!!!!!! He told her that to him it was NOTHING romantic. I guess at that point, they had a phone conversation and the next text mesages were from Monday morning, him sending her pictures from their Sunday together.

And this all day Sunday event, she decorated a whole backyard possibly hers like it was a major event, at-home massages, pictures of a chef and an omelet station and other things, pictures of them snuggled up, videos. Him praising her and telling her, she is always where he wants to be and I can't even type all of the other shit I saw.

@jeane it looks like you were right, because they were very explicit text messages and him telling her how tired he was and her response was "don't act up again and I won't give you 16 rounds maybe just 10 in that time frame" His response was "you are perfect for me and you know I am always ready for you, I am yours and he is yours too"

How can he do a weekend with me and go run to her———? And then act as if our weekend was a drop in a hat for him,nothing special just an ordinary thing.

I really thought our weekend meant something to him!!!!!!!!!!!

i'm sorry you saw that. i can't really blame you for holding out hope that things would go your way. i think any of us in your situation would find it hard to let go after all the years you had together.

i hope now you can see that as things stand he is unwilling to let her go and she is unwilling to let go of him.

i can only repeat an earlier post, you either have to accept the situation or confront him with what you know.

i hope you can also see that it's not about what you do now in terms of tying yourself up in knots trying to be the woman you think he wants. without a frank conversation about the reality that you find yourself in, no weekends away, changing your clothes, sleeping without the kids in bed, sex from the chandelier will alter his connection with her. she is embedded in his life. it may be time for a difficult conversation between the two of you.

or as others have said, get your finances in order and have that conversation when you are stable enough should the worst happens and he choses to leave the marital home.

Thank you everyone who has commented.

His birthday was Friday. I took someone's advice and took full control of his birthday weekend. I planned a trip, bought tickets for just the two of us, no children. We left Thursday night and came back Sunday night. A weekend for just us two to celebrate. He was very attentive and we had a great time. We took lots of pictures to keep and these are memories we will always share. He was very appreciative of the impromptu trip.

Was this a move for us in the right direction? I feel pretty confident that after this weekend together, she won't be in the picture.

Thank you again.

Yes, you're moving in the right direction 🙂

I have to be honest here, I muted you because your post were annoying but now i know i was projecting a lot on to you with my previous post. I am sorry if I was too harsh. I was projecting. Shouldnt have done that 🙂

There are 2 types of people who cheats.

1. Because theyre a cheater. You see them cheating consistently with multiple partner.

2. Because theyre lonely in the relationship.

I think your husband falls in the 2nd category. He has been with that scorpio woman for 3 years. It wasnt the sex that he was looking for, it was someone to fill the void.

I think once youve had your children, you forgot to nurture the romance in the relationship and focus solely on the children. You forgot to date your partner again.

You're doing the right thing by trying to relive the romantic aspect of the relationship. I wont be too sure that he will drop the scorpio woman right away. But you are moving in the right direction 🙂

I suggest you go to a relationship counsellor. Read more books. It is possible to work on marriage after an affair.

I just saw it few days ago, it gave me a new perspective. 5 years ago my bestfriend's parent were on the verge of divorce because the dad had an affair for 10 years.

They went to counsellors, both of them were committed to make their marriage work, and few days ago i saw how deep their love is for one another, they were like teenagers who were head over heel with one another lol. So yes it is possible. But look for professional help..

Thank you Sagoxa! I do truly believe he wasn't worried about that woman and was focused on us. That makes me extremely hopeful for our future as a marital couple!

Happy to hear that 🙂

Keep on nurturing your relationship. I think your husband was just lonely in the marriage. Cuddle him for min 5 mins a day. And set some days where you 2 have a quality time together. Plan some dates, be more experimental in bed, compliment him a lot, study and be interested in his interest.

I hope everything will work out well for you and your family ❤

Thank you sagoxa for your kind words. don't know if you read the update but our away time really didn't mean anything to him given his actions.

Thank you to everyone that has been here. I am still in shock from the last update and I have wanted to see with the new reality I saw from his birthday weekend how he would act. I have not confronted him. YET. I don't know if I am still questioning everything, trying to gather as much evidence as possible or just being stupid. I do know that my heart hurts and it is confused and fucking mad. I wanted to see what would happen on Mother's Day and how he would be. I know that she is a mother and has children, so I wanted to know how he would juggle. For Mother's Day, him and the kids took me to brunch, just us, and he set up a photo shoot with a professional photographer. I will say the photographer was amazing. He also packed a bag for our wardrobe changes and we took "engagement photos" so lots of love photos, kissing, photos of rings, couple things. That was on Saturday and Sunday he set up a family BBQ at our house which I did enjoy.

As you all have become my counselors, I will say that I did love all of it, I never asked him for any of it and I will not lie and say I didn't enjoy our "engagement photos" I loved them and they came out marvelous.

Why do you think he did that? He could of kept out the "engagement photos".

I have had a brief opportunity to look at his phone, and I did see he talked to her the weekend of. I have an opportunity to look at his phone actually now and wondering should I do it. He is still working from home and has been in meetings but his phone is here on the charger.

I have been thinking of confronting him at the end of the month as I should be able to gather screenshots maybe.

This is fucking worrisome. His actions are saying this and saying that.

Thank you again.

I would like to tag a couple of people that I really read their posts over and over again @dontgiveup @jeane

@sagoxa again thank you for trying to uplift the matter

My friend has come over today to stay for the weekend and she simply thinks he had a lapse of judgement. That Mother's Day should say it all, that he is in this with me. And "any man that goes out of his way to set up a photo shoot for the two of you and mothers day plans seems like a man who loves you" "Don't throw your marriage away as he continues to show you how he feels about you".

I have been in situations where it is a hard pill to swallow, it consumes you. You almost are in disbelief. But they evidence is right in front of you. If you keep waiting for "more" this will just consume you more then one day you will just blow up. Or tuck your tail and live a life of feeling worthless, this will knock you down low. Standing up for yourself regardless of how painful will give you a sense of Dignity!

I know nothing about this situation is easy, and no one can put a timeline on this for you.

But, you are procrastinating the inevitable.

How do you confront this? I am too worried about the how and really should just do it!

I keep thinking about our kids, his reaction, will he lie? Probably. That's why I need everything to show him, I know.

Just tell him you know, no need to say anything else. Just say you know about the other woman. Make your statement come across confident. He will instantly believe you since he would feel guilt.

If he tried to lie or deny. Simply ask to see his phone (you dont necessarily have to say youve gone through it)

Say if you are not lying then let me see your phone and if you cannot do that then my point is proven.

Say I know you have gone away with her for your birthday and other occasions. Time is up, own up to your betrayal!

Thank you again dontgiveup. I may need to practice sounding confident, I am terrified to start this conversation and now that my friend has said all the things she has said, I am in a space.

What has this friend said?

Don’t let this friend influence you and confuse you.

So what’s right for YOU.

Even we can’t tell you what’s right for you.

Thank you dontgiveup. She thinks his Mother's Day actions showed and proved just how much he loves me and cares about me. She thinks I would be making a mistake to blow up my family knowing that he is still here with me and doing things to show me he cares. "That anyone with two eyes can see he loves you and wants to be with you, he would leave and wouldn't do the things he does like brunch, photographers, and the main thing, he stays here at home with you"

Of course, I do not want my family torn apart but this is not right. My friend spent the majority of the weekend telling me not to blow up my world over "measly sex because he may have gotten bored".

He's juggling. Leave or stay played. Taurus can provide a comfy front, but all it is is just that. A front. Of course he'll pour it on thick in order to keep you in the dark. He wants his cake and wants to eat it too. It's up to you to let him keep playing games or not. This isn't justan affair. He is HEAVILY invested in the other woman. Take your sanity and leave.


Thank you OnigenZ. My friend is convinces that no one can put on as this and that his actions dictate his true feelings for me. I can't get his birthday weekend out of my head that after our weekend, he ran to her on his actual birthday. I can't get it out of my mind.

The lengths to which he goes to deceive you into believing he cares is just mind boggling. So much deception it’s like one of those made for TV movies. Ugh....


Thank you thatlibralife! This weekend I was pleading my case to my friend, how apparently everything that he displays is a lie to me and she thinks its impossible or he wouldn't still be at home with me and active with me and our family. I get the train of thought as I was thinking the same thing and it is still in the back of my head but his birthday I can't let go of.

But it’s HE that has already torn the family apart.

It would make me angrier than a hornet at the nice things he does yet knowing he is sneaking around.

I dunno maybe I’m crazy but it’s love AND loyalty or nothing at all.


Thank you so much for this! That word loyalty, that word has been thrown in my face by my friend this weekend, "he loves you and is loyal to you, he's still here isn't he"

The more you act like you don't know, the more he's going to milk this infidelity, fake love on you, and play games. You're the mother of his children so there is some love there, but as for being in love and honoring what you have, that's long gone. He's invested in her, which means this isn't just a fling. He'll butter you up to keep the front of family; tauruses hate to look bad when it comes to appearances. But deep down, they'll risk everything just to have what they want. Your friend isn't seeing this right. Real love and care would mean stopping this foolishness and being faithful to his wife. Of course he's gonna play with the kids and pretend to be daddy of the year. Of course he's gonna buy you off with trips and gifts. He's gonna pour on the affection and sex. You are his possessions. He's gonna keep a nice shiny polish on you all to avoid any telling on himself. The quicker you address this the faster you'll stop living a lie. Unless you want to keep up this charade. Love yourself first, woman.

When you get bored with sex, you spice it up with your spouse. You dont go cheat. She's not a good friend. She's looking at the material and physical aspects, telling you to be grateful for his front and mere presence while he plays you for a fool. He spent his birthday with who he really wanted to spend it with. I'm sorry, not trying to be mean. But the truth will set you free.

This is all you need to know. His own texts say how he really feels. Sorry but 3 years are not going anywhere. It will be the 4th, 5th, 6th, so on, etc. They will still be together. Scorpio and Taurus are polar opposites, which mean a VERY strong bond. This woman isn't a fling, or someone he will leave. 3 years is not something to scoff at. What more evidence do you need? He's lying to you dear. Next move is up to you.

He already left the marital home. His body is just there. Feelings, love, loyalty checked out a long time ago.

It's because he has compartmentalized the relationship. You are his wife and the mother of his kids. It would cost him too much to leave you. Not just including the money and property he would have to cough up but more importantly the fact that he would lose being with his kids under the same roof. Even if he is no longer in love with you he will always love them and be a part of their life. He doesn't want to lose that connection. She is his fun thing who he can have freaky sex with and not have to discuss boring things like bills, kids problems, in laws and all the other crap that goes along with marriage. He feels entitled to have both of you and since you never let him know you are aware of how he treats you and give him consequences, he won't stop. Why would he when you allow him to have it all? My Libra sister-in-law lost my Taurus brother (who was head over hills in love with her) to a Scorpio woman. Once he met the Scorpio it was game over and now he and the Scorpio are married.

Unfortunately OP goes to great lengths to deceive herself of what has been going on for the last 3 years. It isn't as if this woman is a 3 week or 3 month fling. Friends tend to tell us what they know we want to hear because they don't want to hurt us. This poster reminds me of a woman on another forum named Edith who has been putting up with her husband's affair for years without his knowledge. She's afraid to confront him about it for fear she will lose him to the other woman. The other woman is married and Edith is afraid she will divorce and get her husband. So she spends her time spying in order to know what is going on with her husband and the other woman. This is no way to live a life and what does it teach the kids.

Hello everyone. Thank you again for all of your advice. I really do read this as I gain strength to confront him. I don't know if it is the love I have for him, our history, our children, the glimpses of hope, and love or another factor but it is insanely hard to bring all of this up.

My birthday was exactly a week ago and we just got back into town last night. He took me on a week long trip, no kids, just us. For my birthdays, I always do it big, Gemini life! And he made sure he did it big for me. The weekend before my birthday, we had family over and then on my actual birthday we left for our trip. We had a great time and we talked and laughed alot. These moments reminds me how much love we have between us. It is confusing me. We talked about buying a new home! Confusion again now that we are home. I am back in the questionable phase of WHY WOULD HE DO ALL OF THIS?

Social Media-I know you all have spoken about this, but I do want to point out that he made sure he posted me, us and responded to every comment acknolwedging me as his queen! And how much my birthday he means to him. How much I mean to him.

The whole trip he hardly was on his phone except for to check in our kids and talking to family.

This may be crazy to say, but he was away from her for a week, what do you all think about all of this?

There is more but he is coming back into the office.

Thank you again.

How do you confront this? I am too worried about the how and really should just do it!

I keep thinking about our kids, his reaction, will he lie? Probably. That's why I need everything to show him, I know.

Just tell him you know, no need to say anything else. Just say you know about the other woman. Make your statement come across confident. He will instantly believe you since he would feel guilt.

If he tried to lie or deny. Simply ask to see his phone (you dont necessarily have to say youve gone through it)

Say if you are not lying then let me see your phone and if you cannot do that then my point is proven.

Say I know you have gone away with her for your birthday and other occasions. Time is up, own up to your betrayal!

Thank you again dontgiveup. I may need to practice sounding confident, I am terrified to start this conversation and now that my friend has said all the things she has said, I am in a space.

What has this friend said?

Don’t let this friend influence you and confuse you.

So what’s right for YOU.

Even we can’t tell you what’s right for you.

Thank you dontgiveup. She thinks his Mother's Day actions showed and proved just how much he loves me and cares about me. She thinks I would be making a mistake to blow up my family knowing that he is still here with me and doing things to show me he cares. "That anyone with two eyes can see he loves you and wants to be with you, he would leave and wouldn't do the things he does like brunch, photographers, and the main thing, he stays here at home with you"

Of course, I do not want my family torn apart but this is not right. My friend spent the majority of the weekend telling me not to blow up my world over "measly sex because he may have gotten bored".

This isn’t your friends marriage!

Thank you dontgiveup. She eventually backed down her opinion but without telling me how wrong I was and how marriages don't last because of women like me not seeing what I really do have. Just yesterday she sent a text message saying how lucky I was that he took me on a week trip for my birthday.

maybe...and just theorising here...maybe all the gifts and trips are to justify his actions to himself?

just in the sense of

"what else could she need? i gave her a photography session. i gave her gifts on mother's day. i treat her very well. she wants for nothing. i'm fulfilling my obligation/duty to her."


Thank you Jeane. Reading this is now making me think that perhaps maybe my birthday trip could of been this. But he definitely wasn't worried about contacting that woman. That is for sure. All eyes was on me.

He's juggling. Leave or stay played. Taurus can provide a comfy front, but all it is is just that. A front. Of course he'll pour it on thick in order to keep you in the dark. He wants his cake and wants to eat it too. It's up to you to let him keep playing games or not. This isn't justan affair. He is HEAVILY invested in the other woman. Take your sanity and leave.

Thank you OnigenZ. My friend is convinces that no one can put on as this and that his actions dictate his true feelings for me. I can't get his birthday weekend out of my head that after our weekend, he ran to her on his actual birthday. I can't get it out of my mind.

The more you act like you don't know, the more he's going to milk this infidelity, fake love on you, and play games. You're the mother of his children so there is some love there, but as for being in love and honoring what you have, that's long gone. He's invested in her, which means this isn't just a fling. He'll butter you up to keep the front of family; tauruses hate to look bad when it comes to appearances. But deep down, they'll risk everything just to have what they want. Your friend isn't seeing this right. Real love and care would mean stopping this foolishness and being faithful to his wife. Of course he's gonna play with the kids and pretend to be daddy of the year. Of course he's gonna buy you off with trips and gifts. He's gonna pour on the affection and sex. You are his possessions. He's gonna keep a nice shiny polish on you all to avoid any telling on himself. The quicker you address this the faster you'll stop living a lie. Unless you want to keep up this charade. Love yourself first, woman.

Thank you OnigenZ. Some things that stuck out to me.

"fake love on you, and play games" -I am having a hard time wrapping my head around this mostly. I don't see anyone being able to live day in and day out with someone and "fake loving". My husband never complains, he never acts as if he is upset or tired of me. He goes along with any and everything that I may bring to the table. And he is the ever loving family man with both of our families. How can anyone fake any of that? It is hard to see.

"Of course he's gonna buy you off with trips and gifts. He's gonna pour on the affection and sex. You are his possessions. He's gonna keep a nice shiny polish on you all to avoid any telling on himself." -Now I am looking at my week birthday trip.

When you get bored with sex, you spice it up with your spouse. You dont go cheat. She's not a good friend. She's looking at the material and physical aspects, telling you to be grateful for his front and mere presence while he plays you for a fool. He spent his birthday with who he really wanted to spend it with. I'm sorry, not trying to be mean. But the truth will set you free.

Thank you OnigenZ. I do not think you are being mean. I need to read this. Apparently I suppose my head is still in clouds especially after my week birthday trip.

Embrace your current life. It will continue with both

Thank you for your response Truemara. Both me and that woman? I know this may mean nothing but he really was focused on me for this trip. Of course I think, this is his way of relinquishing that woman, and holding on to what he knows he really wants and that is me and our family.

Why would he relinquish? He’s getting best of both worlds.

Thank you xiongmao. Deep down, I'm thinking he will realize he wants our world. To be honest, I can take this answer vs the fake love. In this, I can understand he loves me and he may have some type of feelings for that woman but nothing sustainable vs. thinking he is faking with me.

Wow, I don’t know how you do it but yes leave the phone alone now, it’s just pure torture for you.

Looks like you are happy enough to accept he has you and her and you can live your life that way as long as he comes home to you. ( makes me wonder if he leaves his phone around for you to read it... that way both you and his gf accept his double life ) 🤔

It does sound like he loves you both and he’s comfortable, very comfortable living with the best of both worlds.

The only thing I urge you to do is tuck away a little bit of cash just in case your world comes crashing down one day out of the blue. Just enough to set you and the kids up on your own into another place where you can breathe.

i think this is the best advice.

you're happy with him, despite the existence of other woman. i say accept her presence and enjoy your life with him. i think you get a lot from this relationship. embrace it and try to put her out of your mind. often the little lies we tell ourselves get us through the day. maybe just accept that her being in his life is the price you have to pay to be with him.

but do put some cash away! you don't want the rug puled out from under you once those kids are grown.

Thank you sweethearts. He doesn't know I have his code. So he leaves it thinking its "safe". Thank you for the advice about the saving some money. I did look at the phone and he made sure to "check in" with her everyday we were on our trip. UNBELIEVABLE. The last text I saw was him telling her this morning "The pictures I take with her is like standing next to my co worker, let me handle things over here, everything I tell you is everything that I am. You have me. Just handling this for a little more. I'm not building with you just because. I don't build with anyone for nothing."

This mofo still found time to check in every fucking day we were gone.

Is he purposely leaving it out so you find out and puts him in a place we’re you be breaking up instead of him? Seems to convenient to leave evidence behind.Taurus don’t like to get dirty.


Thank you Truemara. He doesnt know I have his code. He has always left it around me but of course this year I found out his phone code. Taurus doesn't like to get dirty?

Hello jeane. Thank you again for your advice! I read your posts often to get myself in line. I just want him with me jeane. I do not accept this woman and I keep thinking she will go. Stupid of me to think throughout our whole trip he didn't contact her, but he did, every single damn day! Not big conversations but text like "hey baby just checking in how are you" " hey beautiful I love you more than you could ever love me" "I don't give myself or my love openly and you have all of it" I am DISGUSTED! He told her this morning that pictures with me is like standing next to his co worker. Kissing, touching, displays of affection photos is like standing to his co worker—" What kind of co worker do you have if you are saying I am like your co worker with those types of photos?? Is this a play on words— "You have me and I am just handling this for a little more, I am not building with you just because, I don't build with anyone."

I just want him to tell me its over if that is HOW HE FEELS!!!!!!! But I know I also need to say something. I really did think this week alone and away meant something.

Well, until he has to choose between the two worlds, that realization is probably not likely to happen. It's like...if I can have both chocolate and ice cream, I'm gonna choose both and not think about which one I like more, if that makes sense.

Hello bmoon8. Thank you as I appreciate your approach. I actually don't get the play on words here. Its like standing next to your co worker? Where does the co worker come in? And kissing, holding me, affectionate moments is like standing next to your co worker—?? I DONT FUCKING GET IT.

But we just talked about buying a damn house!

Did he bring up the house out of the blue?

That was below the belt. He seems to have split personalities. No limit to his lies.

This sounds like he’s getting ready to divorce you...or something else? It’s eerie how he’s sure to praise you to everyone looking but dogs you to her. He’s plotting...

You better wake up now before it’s too late...

SHE ASKED THE SAME THING- "WHAT DOES HANDLING IT FOR A LITTLE MORE MEAN?" I'm looking at the fucking phone while he sleeps. She asked him that and he said "Playing the supporting role"

He praises me in front of everyone. EVERYONE. OUR FAMILY. FRIENDS. OUR CHILDREN. EVERYONE.

but we've been here before. you thought that his time with you over mother's day meant that he hadn't contacted her but he had.

to throw the cat amongst the pigeons...it's quite possible that he is lying to her too. handling what a bit longer? from what you have described you aren't holding him ransom in this marriage nor does he have to placate you to stop you from doing your worst. if anything, this entire thread shows that you are not that kind of woman.

so my sense is that he is playing the both of you and will keep this going for as long as you both allow him to.

i know you go through these short bursts of anger but then calm down and talk yourself round. i'm not judging you for that by the way, i think we all do the best we can to get through the day. what works for one is not going to work for all.

i know you just want him with you. the sad fact is that i don't think that's a realistic possibility. if it's not this other woman, it will be someone else. from what you have said, he checked out being only with you a long time ago.

from what i can see you can either share him (and close your eyes to it in order to maintain the loving relationship you feel you have ie family bbqs, loving photos on facebook, gifts and weekends away) or you kick off and kick him out. the former is the closest to what you want. you have to decide is it worth the price you have to pay (his affection being elsewhere) to have it.

to be fair, for 3 years you didn't have an inkling this was going on. even over your birthday, he kept it well hidden from you. you're not the first woman in history whose husband kept a part of his life secret from her. you won't be the last.

ultimately the question is, can you close your eyes to it?

Hmmm 🤔 my gut instinct to him getting you to “look for a house” is to move you from the family home so you and the kids will be sorted and out and that no longer ties him to the marital home.

Is he talking down sizing and/or looking in a different area?

Not sure he’d totally dupe you and the law won’t allow it, however, the law will freeze assets ie: property, bank accounts etc should there be a separation and especially if it’s nasty. This is why you need some money aside.. just in case.

There are two sides to any split, the Head & the Heart. Time to start thinking with the Head!

Your heart will only lead you to more misery and paralysed you!

Sorry, Gem - I hope you take some of the advice here. I left my cheating Scorp in similar fashion. The relationship is over so you have to plan your exit. Give him just enough affection to keep his attention off of you. Save your money, line up a place to live. Drop the fantasy that things will change. You actually have the upper hand because knowledge is power.

Wow, I don’t know how you do it but yes leave the phone alone now, it’s just pure torture for you.

Looks like you are happy enough to accept he has you and her and you can live your life that way as long as he comes home to you. ( makes me wonder if he leaves his phone around for you to read it... that way both you and his gf accept his double life ) 🤔

It does sound like he loves you both and he’s comfortable, very comfortable living with the best of both worlds.

The only thing I urge you to do is tuck away a little bit of cash just in case your world comes crashing down one day out of the blue. Just enough to set you and the kids up on your own into another place where you can breathe.

Thank you sweethearts. He doesn't know I have his code. So he leaves it thinking its "safe". Thank you for the advice about the saving some money. I did look at the phone and he made sure to "check in" with her everyday we were on our trip. UNBELIEVABLE. The last text I saw was him telling her this morning "The pictures I take with her is like standing next to my co worker, let me handle things over here, everything I tell you is everything that I am. You have me. Just handling this for a little more. I'm not building with you just because. I don't build with anyone for nothing."

This mofo still found time to check in every fucking day we were gone.

“Just handling this for a little more”...

This sounds like he’s getting ready to divorce you...or something else? It’s eerie how he’s sure to praise you to everyone looking but dogs you to her. He’s plotting...

You better wake up now before it’s too late...

SHE ASKED THE SAME THING- "WHAT DOES HANDLING IT FOR A LITTLE MORE MEAN?" I'm looking at the fucking phone while he sleeps. She asked him that and he said "Playing the supporting role"

He praises me in front of everyone. EVERYONE. OUR FAMILY. FRIENDS. OUR CHILDREN. EVERYONE.

Yeah he’s up to something for sure.

I’d be wary. Please take care of yourself. This guy really is a con whether you’d like to believe it or not. Don’t rationalize his behavior away. At the very least it’s clear from that text he’s eventually planning to leave.
