Woman Sees An Email On Her Husband’s iPad About An Apartment They Don’t Have, Drama Ensues

Every once in a while, one might come across a story about a person maintaining a hidden family. Generally, this almost sounds like fiction, how can someone have the time, energy or resources to maintain two relationships when so many struggle with even one. But unfortunately, it’s not always something out of a movie.

A woman noticed a startling notification on her husband’s iPad about water repair on an apartment. The catch? They didn’t live in an apartment. She later shared a sizable update when she decided to take on readers suggestions and do some sleuthing. We reached out to the woman via private message and will update the article when she gets back to us.

Your partner getting weird messages might be cause for concern

But one woman was stunned when her husband’s iPad got an email about an apartment they didn’t live at

Men are generally more likely to cheat on their partners

While it’s still deeply unfortunate, it is statistically more common for men to cheat, compared to women. In general, roughly 4% of married men have admitted to cheating, while only 1% of married women have indicated the same. Like with any self-reported statistics, there is always the possibility that some folks are lying, but by and large, the trend appears to be clear. Men tend to be more opportunistic and might not set out to cheat, but will use a chance if it’s given to them.

That being said, married folks are, overall, the least likely to cheat, as the same study indicated that a shocking 37% of men reported cheating on their partner at least once during the last year. Similarly, the number for women was a lot higher, at 17%, but still considerably less female infidelity compared to men.

However, in most of these cases, the cheating was opportunistic and never went as far as signing a lease on another apartment while already living in a house. This is why perhaps the wife’s first thoughts weren’t infidelity, as it just seems like way too much. After all, the expenses alone would be a lot, never mind the difficulties in splitting time among both “partners” and remembering your lies. It’s already hard enough to communicate in many relationships, so keeping it up with multiple, separate partners seems like an immoral feat of endurance.

Cheating might be easier in the 21st century, but so is getting caught

It does seem that this man was not cut out for it. He only managed his charade for four months and was caught because of a notification on a device he left with his wife. At the same time, he appears to have had the sense to make up a lie about being in the process of divorce with his new girlfriend, no doubt drip-feeding her some stories and explanations about why they can’t spend more time together.

While the internet has been a very useful tool for cheaters, allowing them to coordinate with and discover new partners, this story is a clear example of exactly why it’s also a useful tool to see if your spouse is cheating. The wife could harness the advice of hundreds, if not thousands of people and use digital technology to locate and track down the exact apartment. Some folks will go out of their way to get revenge on cheaters, but the emotional burden is already great, so some closure is just as good.

Fortunately, the wife was no pushover and decided to go and confirm her fears instead of giving the husband precious time to concoct some excuse or made up story. At least he ended up exposed, both to the girlfriend, who now has a chance to see his true colors, and to his parents. Hopefully the now-ex-wife lands on her feet and can put this entire ordeal behind her. While there might be some reasons not to get divorced immediately, it’s good that she knows what’s best for her and leaves this fellow in the dust immediately.
