Woman devastated by husband's pitiful three-word excuse for his year-long affair
Finding out your partner has been cheating on you is a gut-wrenching experience.
One woman has said she feels "pathetic" after discovering her husband has spent an entire year of their five-year marriage having an affair with one of their "good friends". She explained she found out about his infidelity after seeing evidence of their Snapchat exchanges on his phone. When she confronted her husband about the things she saw, he gave her a pitiful three-word excuse for his actions - as he simply said he did it because "work was stressful".
To make matters worse, the woman later found out that her husband and the other woman had first begun their affair in February last year, meaning they'd been seeing each other behind their spouses' backs for an entire year.
In an anonymous post on Reddit, the devastated woman explained: "I've suspected things had been going on for a while, but kept brushing it off - I thought he would never do that to me. It's with one of our good friends. She came to my house a few weeks ago. She's texted me. She's pretended to be there for me.
"I found out because I rolled over [in bed] and they were having a Snapchat conversation. She said she wished she could be there to hold him and he summarised that I tried to seduce him last night and mocked it. I confronted him and he admitted it. He said that it was because work was stressful. When I told her husband, he confronted her and apparently, they actually kissed back in February. I think at that moment, I was never going to be enough for him."

The woman is now at a loss for how to move forward, as she claimed her husband has no interest in going to therapy or trying to "work this out". She admitted she feels "pathetic" for "trying to cling to him", but doesn't know what to do as she feels as though she's "drowning".
"I don't know where to go from here," she continued, "We've been married about five years. I feel like he took so much from me and doesn't even want to go to therapy or work this out. I don't want to leave my house but everywhere in it I see him. He chose her. He was supposed to be my forever.
"I don't know what to do. I've made therapy appointments but I was also laid off last month, so I have too much free time to analyse every single moment where he might have been lying to me or where I made myself [feel] pathetic [by] trying to cling to him. I feel like I'm drowning and don't know how to start moving on."
Commenters on the post were quick to offer support to the woman, with many telling her that she was enough and that his excuse for cheating on her was terrible. One person said: "It's not that you weren't enough. It's him that isn't enough for you. He has no integrity and thinks that it's okay to cheat when he's 'stressed'. Do not stay with this guy. He'll beg and plead but do not go back."
Another wrote: "It's so tough. The only thing I can promise is that it'll get so much better. You're drowning, but eventually, you'll come up for air, we all do. Start by making plans, and start looking for a job, if you have to move back home to family, do it. Prioritise yourself." While a third posted: "I am so sorry you're going through this. It's one of the most painful feelings to be blindsided and betrayed. Feel your feelings and start therapy."
