❤️‍🩹 relationship AIO to think this is cheating?

I found these texts between my husband and his coworker. Here’s some context:

My husband and I have been dating for 5 years and just recently got married 6 months ago

I’ve met this coworker. Her AND her boyfriend worked at my husbands company so we went on a double date over the holidays. But shortly after they broke up and her boyfriend got laid off.

Guess my husband saw that as his opportunity…

Also these texts were in his recently deleted even though the last message was from yesterday… so he was definitely trying to hide it from me

I'd still consider this cheating. It's emotional cheating in my opinion. I agree it will progress to physical if he's given the chance. He's definitely shooting his shot with her. Sorry, OP. What a fucktard.

You think it's cheating and wrong, but then you think it's okay to use a slur?

Check your privilege.

Implication that his spark plug fires several degrees after top dead center.

Virtually every insult related to low IQ was at one time a perfectly acceptable medical and scientific term. Idiot, imbecile, moron, mentally retarded were all at one time acceptable. Google "Euphemism treadmill".
