Having been together for years, I never expected to discover that my husband, Mark, was planning to cheat on me. However, his recent behavior with his phone raised my suspicions. He would clutch it even while asleep, and never once did he let it out of his sight.

Whenever I entered the room, he would swiftly hide his phone, always typing under the covers or rushing to put it away. It was obvious he was keeping secrets, and I feared they weren’t the harmless kind.

One night, as we sat under a blanket watching TV, his phone slipped from his pocket. Normally, he would scramble to pick it up, but that night, he was fast asleep. The phone buzzed continuously by my side, piquing my curiosity. Initially, I resisted the urge to look, planning only to plug it in for charging.

However, as I picked up the phone, the screen lit up, revealing multiple notifications from a dating app. The betrayal hit me hard. After years of supporting him financially while he struggled with unemployment, this was how he repaid me.

Standing there, phone in hand, I felt a mix of anger and heartbreak. I could have woken him up and confronted him right then, but I decided against it. Instead, I wiped away my tears and devised a plan to expose his deceit.
