"I Need Proof": Woman Pretends To Be Her Husband And Texts His Female Best Friend
Intuition is an interesting thing. You can try to temporarily ignore your gut telling you that something is off, but completely disregarding the warnings is often impossible.
So when Reddit user -Calm-Palpitation- overheard her husband’s female best friend bragging to others that the woman had him wrapped around her finger, she couldn’t shake the feeling that there had to be a basis for such a strong claim.
And, as she explained in her post on the popular subreddit ‘AITAH,’ there was.

Snooping through your partner’s phone is quite common

According to a survey of over 13,000 Americans by Avast, an antivirus software company, 1 in 4 women and 1 in 5 men admit to secretly checking their partner’s phone.
The survey found that while the majority of women do that because they are just nosy, a quarter of married women, just like the author of this post, suspect their spouse is cheating on them and want to find evidence.
“It is an invasion of privacy and property,” psychologist and sex therapist Shannon Chavez said. “To check a phone without consent shows that there is a communication breakdown. Looking for something on your partner’s phone without permission immediately breaks trust to fulfill your own needs. It leads to suspicions and assumptions that trigger insecurities and upset.”
However, according to the aforementioned research, seven out of ten women who turn to their partner’s device to find proof their partner is deceiving them have found it.
Another survey of 1,000 Americans between the ages of fifteen and fifty-five regarding relationships, phones, and trust found that 48% of women and 31% of men think snooping is fine, and that 68% of people who did it do not regret their decision.
But Chavez thinks “the problem is that checking a partner’s phone has become easier than being vulnerable and sharing how you are feeling and why you feel compelled to check the phone.”

I'm glad she had the strength to leave. But I do hope she tells him that she knows what a lying POS he is. I'd also be texting the AP and telling everyone I know. Scorched earth, lol. How sad that there are so many of these stories around.

If you don't trust your partner and feel you need to go to these lengths, you need to leave. Odds are, they're cheating. But even if they aren't, they're clearly doing something that's got your hackles up and you don't have enough trust in them. If you truly believe it possible for them to cheat on you, it is.

I've been married for 23 years and never worried about him cheating. Before meeting he and I had both been cheated on and it was something that had deeply scarred us. He is as honest as they come thankfully. But if I suspected cheating you better believe I would find out the truth and if he did that would be the end of our marriage and I know he would feel the same way. It's just not something either of us could forgive.
