QUESTION:
"Anyone else’s significant other spend all day every day literally texting another woman?
They talk about our relationship, hers, and I don’t know what else. He stops talking to me when she texts him, even when we’re in the middle of a conversation.
It makes me mad that he drops me like that. I guess she used to be someone he pursued romantically, and he recently gave her his number."

TOP ANSWERS (AS SELECTED BY MODERATOR):
“Um, what… I’m sorry but why are you still with him? Men don’t just text women like that and divulge their lives… that’s an entanglement right there.”
“Look up the phrase ‘emotional affair’ and see if it fits what he is doing. Affairs don’t have to be physical to damage a marriage.”
“Disrespectful, inappropriate, unacceptable. He should have the respect for you to not do that.”
“He’s seeing how much he can get away with in front of you… so later he can feel like he isn’t doing anything wrong if “you really knew about it the whole time” Been there, done this! Wasted 5 years of my life. Almost lost everything!”
“My husband and I are working past this right now. We are in counseling for his addiction to other women. It’s difficult, but unless he is willing to put in the work, nothing will help. We have dealt with it for years. It took me kicking him out, making him tell the kids why he was leaving and coming clean with the woman’s husband to get there. Just please don’t make the mistake I did and think it was anything you did or didn’t do!!!”
“Instead of asking this group what you should do about your significant others unfaithfulness and blatant disregard for you and your feelings… you should be asking yourself why you’re still there.”
“Yeah, that is not ok. Definitely a red flag. I’d ask him to stop communicating with her and if he’s not willing to cut contact with her, I’d suggest taking a hard look at your relationship and if it’s a healthy one for you to be in.”
“How many more signs do you need? I’m not one to always jump and say someone is cheating. But hun, this is pretty obvious.”
“He would drop you in a heartbeat for this other girl as he proves while he ignores you for her… even though you’re standing right in front of him. You are less of a priority than this other person in his life or else he wouldn’t disrespect you that way. There’s a strong chance they are already cheating too, just saying.”
“I have s ton of male friends, and some are married. I MAKE IT A POINT to be the wife’s friend! And even have a group chat. Why I never want any to feel uncomfortable. I make clear boundaries. I would not be happy with my husband talking to a female without me knowing who she is. The wife comes first ALWAYS!”
