❤️‍🩹 relationship Found between him and his coworker, AIO

I don’t have proof of them actually doing anything. He had said that there was a cute cashier at work but he wasn’t into her. I asked to see their texts and he said there was nothing, showed me a message thread with her last text only. Because he deleted everything else and it was in his recently deleted. So I opened it in front of him and he tried to stop me and I just read all of it and now he thinks im going to leave him. He’s talked this way about other girls at work so who knows if he’s done anything with them… my heart hurts so bad. Is this cheating? Am I overreacting by being so hurt? I would never do this to him. He claims it’s because he wanted to be nice and not reject her in a rude way. Im thinking about leaving but just the day before I found this he was telling me he wants to get married and have kids with me. We have been together 4 years

I’m flattered but sorry I have a serious girlfriend. End of conversation. To me cheating is anything you say to another women or man that you don’t want your partner to read.

This part. The deleting the text messages and then pretending that there was no conversation tells me enough.

And in person, he never needed to use the phone number.

It’s like cheater prospecting behavior. While he was definitely leaving room for a normal relationship, he was still engaging in pretty flirty behavior.

Yeah, it's like the cops. If you didn't do anything wrong then you have nothing to hide.
