A woman shared her growing concern about her husband’s relationship with another woman. Her husband, a maintenance worker, had been helping a single mother more and more, which at first didn’t bother her. But soon, the late-night texts and frequent visits started to make her uneasy. She noticed he even began “forgetting” tools at the woman’s house, and her gut told her something wasn’t right.
Things escalated when her husband wanted to watch over the woman’s house because she was scared of her ex, and later when he secretly picked her and her kids up. The final straw came when he asked his wife to babysit the woman’s children, which she flatly refused. When she confronted him about it, he exploded in anger, making her feel guilty for questioning him.
She admitted she’s torn—she doesn’t know if her husband is actually cheating or simply overstepping boundaries. What bothers her most is how dismissive and defensive he’s become whenever she raises her feelings. The lack of respect and transparency has left her doubting not only his actions, but the foundation of their marriage.
Now, she’s asking the online community for advice. Should she confront the woman directly, demand boundaries from her husband, or start considering leaving him altogether? With children involved, she feels trapped and confused, but she also knows she can’t continue being sidelined in her own marriage.
