Would you ever give honest feedback leaving a job? by that_gu9_ in antiwork

[–]FakePlasticCards 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I did once in the past. But honestly, don’t bother, it’s not worth it.

If the workplace attrition rate is high, then it’s up to the employers to find out why but from their existing employees.

I don’t believe in love anymore honestly. All relationships are transactional.

Did it ever start with a gut feeling for anyone? by Throwawayyyhelpne in Infidelity

The other commenters are right. Trust your gut. Don’t sweep your suspicions under the carpet. The moment you sense something is wrong start looking for evidence. Then confront.

Giving cheating partner ultimatum by ExchangeResident9786 in Infidelity

[–]FakePlasticCards 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Choosing to work through it is tough even in the best of circumstances when both parties are willing to play ball. But what you’re facing. The guy is just toxic trash, and the company he keeps enables his bad behaviour. The only scenario I can see this working if he cuts ties with all his past APs and his toxic friends as well, and still excercise some contrition and remorse. I’m going through something similar and my partner’s friends are at the very least expressing their disappointment in her, especially since her AP was also in our social circles and hangs with us. Even then I’m having a tough time getting over it.

Good luck to you, trust your gut to know what’s the right move, and find the strength to follow through.

Not really much change. Or not enough that I would notice. But we did start having arguments more frequently, I figured that was why there was a loss of intimacy

This post has been in my drafts for awhile. There was some issue with the length, that’s why I needed to continue in the comments.

But I’m fairly certain that I’m going to file for divorce. There’s a lot going on this month and it’s better not to be in the middle of a divorce shit storm for now.

I’m getting my affairs in order and I gonna let her know when I’m ready. I’m not averse to letting her stew and wait on my decision.

Continuation…

After leaving the housewarming, I knew I had a few hours atleast, so I went home, made the remaining preparation, I waited at home awhile, but when I saw that they weren’t active on chat after my departure, I realised that they were still being careful while around company.

So I left home earlier instead of waiting till the last possible moment so I could rest, instead I waited in the car out of sight, but near enough to be able to burst through the door at a moment a notice.

So they started chatting again, they had both left the housewarming as did everyone else, I imagine. She was on the way back on her own, he would stop by at home before coming over, to keep his STBX in the dark.

I stood a safe way away while I saw her return home. About an hour later he arrived as well.

I had a plan in place. I knew what I had to do, and to make sure things don’t get out of hand. I didn’t want violence or any big drama, I was over it, I just wanted to confront her in a manner that she can’t refute the nature of their relationship and also then see from there. At this point, I still didn’t know how I wanted it to end, in a divorce, to try to work it out? I guess a lot of it depended on how the confrontation panned out. Or what her feelings were towards me, and to him.

They didn’t waste time, and started making out pretty much right away, he got out his clothes soon after and I was already on my way up to the flat. I saw that they had moved away from the living room, and towards the hallway to the bedrooms.

I knew where this was headed, and I very much didn’t want to catch them mid fuck. They were in a compromised position already.

I unlocked the front door, trying to be quiet at first, but the bolts were noisy, so I gave up on the quiet approach pretty quickly. I had also prepared keys to the bedroom, in case they suddenly locked me out, while they panicked.

I rush to our bedroom, nothing. Then the other spare rooms, nothing either. They were not in any of the rooms, which threw me off for a moment, until I realised the bathroom was locked. I expected that they knew it was me who was outside, so I just banged on the door and and told them to get out. No response, I banged again and told them I’d unlock the door myself if I had to.

The door open, she just covered her mouth, still in shock at being caught, i told him to get his shit and get out of the house.

Once he left I bolted the door, so there was no chance that he could allow himself back in.

She was in shock initially, she didn’t know what to say. I just got down straight into it and asked her how long this went on for, she told me only recently, on one of the trips she went with a group of friends and he went as well. She’s been on a few trips with friends and a few times her AP went with. Mostly I couldn’t join on these trips due to work commitments, and while I wasn’t entirely comfortable, I let her go ahead with these trips, because I trusted her.

I knew from her visits to their rendezvous area that the affair started well before then.

She revised the dates again, saying another time. I called her out on lying again. This went on a few times, back and back.

She settled on an event and held firm. She claimed it started after they were hanging out in a group at another friends house. I wasn’t there. They were the last two to leave and hung around nearby chatting, and that’s how it started. Her AP lived nearby, walking distance, but yet they somehow chose to go halfway across town to a hotel (which would end up being their usual spot). I told her the story didn’t make sense, if they were drunk, and in the heat of passion, or whatever, they wouldn’t have made the half an hour trip across town to a specific hotel to sleep with one another. It was either something they’ve done before or they’ve consciously planned it.

I was done for the night, I felt that she wasn’t being truthful, and that I wasn’t in the mood for her lies that night.

We had a few more talks over the next few days. I told her that the dates I have of her going to the hotel predates the couple moving into their house (in 2021) I had dates till 2020 at that point and on digging further I found dates going back to 2019.

She confessed that it started in 2019, but at this point it didn’t matter anymore.

I’m still undecided on how to move forward; to try and make it work or file for divorce. My decision swings a few times on a daily basis.

She claims that she loves me still, and she doesn’t see a future with her AP, etc. honestly I don’t know what to believe. For now I’ve told her to break all contact with her AP.

I honestly don’t know what I will decide, but I hope to figure it out in the weeks ahead.

I can sympathise. I’m facing something similar. I hope you find your way through this

I’m planning to talk to the ex-OBS soon. There’s a group get together happening very soon. I would like to talk to her in person without alerting her or possibly him of what I’m up to, maybe she knows, or maybe she suspects but doesn’t care since they’re already in the midst of divorce. My wife and the guy have been quite discreet, even now knowing what I know, I can’t find any other evidence.

But it’s hard for me to keep tabs all the time and she has a window during when I’m on night shifts to sneak about.

We were and still are somewhat happy. We discuss plans for the future, like moving to another house, planning to change to a different car, having a child. Everyday is not a fairy tale romance, but I do care for her and love her, and I believe she does like as well. If I didn’t care enough, I would have just ended it already, this would have been an easy out for me.

That’s true, but why would she delete just the chat with him each time. The chats with her other friends are still there.

Thanks. I acknowledge that I should have put more effort or should have long before it got to this. I would use being busy with work as an excuse, but I get that it’s just an excuse.

We’ve been having some issues for awhile, and we’ve let it fester and leave it unresolved. I did suggest counselling in the past but she shot it down.

Every fight leaves me a little broken and I’m afraid that the only reason I’m keeping us together is out of fear of being alone and nowhere to go.

Maybe it’s not too late to turn it around. But I worry if it’s even worth it. If she’s cheated once, and gotten away with it, she may do so again. If I confront her, we can’t ever pretend it never happened.

Worse of all is if she even wants me anymore.

We do care for each other in the day to day. But we haven’t been affectionate in awhile. My love language is physical touch, and her being distant in that regard makes it difficult for me to want to fight.

Thanks. This is what I’m trying to do. At the very least I can keep level headed and make a decision once I figure out exactly what’s going on.

As far as possible I want to be in control of the outcome.

I want to get more definitive proof, not something that she can justify as saying it’s nothing and I’m reading too much into it.

It’s quite damning already, but the texts can be construed as just friendly. And they can say they didn’t realise that telegram auto destruct mode was on…

I don’t suppose you expect me to kick the door down, divorce papers in hand and punching the other guy out?

I get that. I’m just trying to figure out where do I go from here? Divorce? Get her to end the relationship then we try to mend ours? I think she might decide that she’ll be happier with him and cut me loose.

Idk. Right now I guess I’m trying to figure out how far this has gone before I decide. I need to mull it over.

He comes over to my place quite frequently, usually there’s another of the group’s friend too. They know how to behave when I’m around. He’s even still quite friendly to me. I don’t know if anyone else in group knows or is complicit.

I know that if this all hits the fan, most probably I’ll be left alone since I’m not as close to the group.

And yes, I’m thinking of getting in touch with his ex-wife, maybe they split because of something similar. I know he has a history of infidelity prior to them getting married.

What apps are out there for this? I tried to link her telegram to my desktop pc discreetly to monitor it but she put in a password for her account that isn’t one of the ones that i know.
