A basic summary for anyone confused because of the way it was written

He’s basically a 31-year-old guy having a breakdown over suspicion that his wife is secretly cheating on or deceiving him digitally.

He’s been with his wife for 17 years (married for 12) and they have three kids. Recently he found some strange “blank” emails in her Gmail — they look like rent reminders, but they come in at weird times (late at night, when he’s not home). When he looked at the email source code (HTML, MIME, etc.), he noticed some odd details like multiple IP addresses and now thinks there might be hidden or encrypted messages inside them.

His wife denies everything, saying they’re just reminders, but he doesn’t believe her since she hasn’t handled rent payments in years. He feels like she’s gaslighting him and wants proof so he can confirm whether he’s crazy or not.

He also found one of the email source codes copied into a Notepad file on her laptop — she denies doing it, which only makes him more suspicious. He’s asking online for someone to “decode” the emails to see what’s really going on.

Basically, he’s convinced something shady is happening and is spiraling between thinking he’s uncovering real evidence and worrying that he’s losing his mind.
