A woman is on the brink of breaking up with her partner after she made a heartbreaking discovery on his phone. She’s furiously hit out at the double standards in their relationship
The age-old debate on whether it’s OK to snoop on your partner’s phone remains unsettled, but one woman decided it was worth the risk, with devastating consequences.
Unable to ignore the gut feeling she had that something was wrong, she discovered texts on her partner’s phone that left her blood running cold. He’s been texting his ex wife constantly and it’s left her questioning their whole relationship.
The double standards in the relationship have left her feeling bitter, as she claims her partner suffers with ‘severe jealously’ whenever she has to speak to her own ex husband about co-parenting. Yet she caught him red handed messaging his ex wife daily.
The devastated woman took to Mumsnet to anonymously share her situation, where she explained she has a son with her ex partner and a son with her current partner. “My ex and I co parent amicably for the most part however my partner finds issue with every single plan I make with my ex,” she said.
She then said her partner is only ever happy if she’s arguing with her ex, and said this means she rarely speaks to her ex husband and any communcation they have, her partner wants “every tiny detail”. It’s no surprise that she was left stunned when she found out her partner is in regular communication with his ex wife.
The mum says she wouldn’t have been “overly bothered about the odd message” if he wasn’t so hard on her about speaking to her ex. “They share no children. He said they rarely speak but I’ve had a feeling that isn’t true. Today I asked for the first time to see his messages, he panicked, showed me a few but then snatched his phone and didn’t want me to see anymore. It turns out they message every single day. about everything,” she revealed.
The discovery has left her devastated, and said she has “absolutely lost it” due to the stress he causes her about communicating with her ex about their son. “I feel like this is hugely hypocritical and want to know if I’m being reasonable to end it over this. We have a string of issues but this feels like the icing on the cake right now,” the post concluded.
People were quick to comment their thoughts on the situation, with many telling her she deserved better and that she should leave him. “He is giving you a hard time. He is making your time hard. For something he is doing himself and far worse. You deserve better than that,” one Mumsnet user penned, while another said: “He’s controlling, a liar, hypocritical, likely unfaithful, obstructive in the best of your child… he sounds like a great catch.”
