I think my husband has an online gf.
I can’t wrap my head around the idea that someone has a girlfriend that they have never actually met or even spoken to in the phone. Is this real?
I don’t even know if this is considered cheating. I hope I am overreacting.
My (42f) husband (42m) seems to have an online girlfriend.
My husband loves to play video games and has had an online female friend for the past couple of years. I think she is in her early 30s & married.
She is also aware that he is married with young kids. He’s never hidden his phone from me and what snips of their conversations I have read in the past primarily revolved around gaming.
Lately though I noticed he has been on his phone texting more frequently and when I finally snooped, I found inappropriate conversations.
Not only were conversations explicit but they often ended with telling each other that they loved one another. I was completely heartbroken.
I confronted him about the conversations and he said that it was joking around that got a little out of hand. He says he’s never met her irl and has no intentions of ever doing so. He says that I am over reacting and it’s not cheating. He has no intentions of terminating their online relationship.
I don’t know what to do. I don’t want a divorce.
