A man recently shared his heartbreak after discovering that his wife had engaged in an emotional affair.
The wife, however, blamed the husband's physical absence and lack of compliments for her actions, suggesting that he was responsible for pushing her to seek emotional fulfillment elsewhere.
The husband explained that his job required him to be away from home for about a week every month, leaving him physically absent.
Despite maintaining regular calls and trying to stay emotionally connected when at home, the wife felt that her husband's absence and his failure to offer enough compliments made her feel unnoticed and unappreciated.
“I always tried to connect with her, but compliments weren’t a foundation of our relationship,” the man shared in a Facebook post.
He emphasized that their relationship was built on deeper connections, not just flattering words.
Nevertheless, his wife felt differently, claiming that his absence led her to engage in flirtatious conversations with another man, which she insisted never progressed to anything physical.
Although the affair stayed in the “talking stage,” the husband was heartbroken when he discovered their messages.
Initially, his wife expressed remorse and begged for forgiveness, but her attitude quickly shifted.
She downplayed the situation and suggested that the blame was shared between them, citing their declining intimacy and his busy schedule as factors contributing to the affair.
She even told him, “You should be thanking God you found out before it went further,” minimizing the gravity of the betrayal.
Feeling betrayed and unsure about how to proceed, the husband is now contemplating a temporary separation.
He fears that it could lead to the collapse of their marriage, but he also believes that the trust in their relationship may be permanently damaged.
Social media users reacted to the man’s post with mixed opinions. Some sympathized with him, expressing that he was not to blame for his wife’s actions.
“She’s gaslighting you!” one commenter wrote. Others suggested that the couple seek counseling or involve family elders to help them navigate the situation.
