37. Phone Of Secrets
I was on a very rare date night with kids at the grandparent’s house. I’m looking extra cute, so I didn’t even want to carry a purse or my cell. I used his phone on the way to the restaurant to confirm our reservations.
After eating, I used his phone again to get the movie times via text. Saw a name in the frequently sent and asked him innocently, “Who is Lisa?” He snatched the phone and said, “My coworker.” FF 3 hours later, and I’m throwing his clothes into his car after going online and viewing the hundreds of texts sent to several women.
But still, I was a fool for love and opted to stay. I was with him my entire adult life, so I didn’t know anything different. That was 2006. We had our 19th anniversary in January. My divorce was final in March. He got married to ANOTHER one of his many affairs in June. I’m enjoying being unattached and becoming an empty nester as of this fall.
