I hope you enjoy this story.
Discovered that my soon-to-be spouse was messaging her former partner a month prior to our marriage.
Consequently, I ceased communication with her, called off all arrangements, and embarked on our vacation solo.
Subsequently, she unexpectedly appeared, begging to win me back.
Hello everyone.
I, 26M, have been engaged to a woman, 27F, want to call her whore but let's call her Ellie.
We are supposed to be married next month and moments ago I found her sexting with her ex-fuck.
It's hurting so much.
Ha.
Okay.
So, I've been seeing this woman for over four years.
This summer she brought up the topic of getting married.
Honestly, I was taken aback.
Not that I was not serious but the thought of marriage didn't cross my mind.
But when she talked about it, I was like, why not?
I loved her.
We have known each other for five years, dating for four.
The next move was definitely marriage for me.
So, we planned a spring wedding this year.
This new year, I bought her a ring to call it official.
She too gave me a ring on Valentine's.
I thought everything was perfect until it's not.
I cannot imagine she had been doing this at my back.
I'm sorry for spreading this all over.
So, Ellie has gone for a two-day work trip this morning while I'm working from home.
We have a common PC at home.
Since she works for a bank, she's not allowed to open her personal email on her work laptop.
So she uses the home PC most of the time.
I have my personal email logged into my office laptop.
I also have a tab so I rarely use the PC.
To her bad luck, my laptop crashed and I had to use the home PC.
I logged in through my email and continued with my work.
I didn't notice her mailbox was open in another minimized browser.
After a while, I see an email popping up with the name, Felix, too tired to invent a fake name.
So Felix, if you're reading this, screw you.
I knew that Felix was her college sweetheart and her ex.
They had been dating throughout their college years.
The reason for their breakup, she gave me,
was that he moved back to his country. It was almost after a year of their breakup that we met
and almost after a year of knowing each other, I asked her out. Once in the initial days of our
dating, I was talking about my past relationship which didn't end well. I asked her how she felt
about her past. She told me that they broke up amicably and she wasn't bitter about her ex at all.
I don't know why, but it bothered me for a while. Though there was no reason at that time, I asked her
if she was still in touch with her ex.
She denied.
That was the end of the conversation.
She didn't give me any reason to pester on that point.
Fast forward to today, I saw Felix's email.
I promptly opened it without thinking twice and, oh my God, it made me throw up.
It was an endless chain of emails.
The most outrageous thing I have ever seen.
This whore was talking about how she misses him every day and how she satisfies him.
herself thinking about the wild nights they had. I mostly read her replies than his. It was about
sexual pleasures as how she touches herself and how she gets with just by thinking about him.
She describes how she wants to be touched by him. Apparently, she craves how he used to bang her
back door. Her exact words were, my $8-dollar hole it is to take you in. It's been ages since
someone drilled that hole. I was puking after reading this.
One moment, I thought was it really her or if the account got hacked or something but it was a long ongoing thread for months.
I can't imagine she's the woman I was madly in love with.
Let me tell you, she's a liar.
We occasionally go at null.
In fact, she's the one who doesn't like it saying it hurts her.
I respect her choices and boundaries and never force her into something that she's not comfortable with.
And this whore complains about her yearning a whole.
At this moment, I really want to bang her hard and rough and rip her a dollar off.
Two days back, she had emailed him I don't know why am I even marrying this person when his ween.
E is half of yours.
L.O.L. to this he responds, Raffle, poor guy, could you guys imagine the pain I went through while reading it and even while writing this?
I want to bury myself somewhere.
How can I possibly face myself that my would-be wife was talking shit about me with her ex without giving me
any clue. I'm continuously pinching myself to check if this is actually happening to me or
if it's just a bad dream. It's kind of funny that on the same day when she wrote that email,
she said to me, you're too big for me. You know my body so well. Boo-ya, you're so good in bed.
This was her exact expression. And don't forget these compliments. I tell you,
Does this mean she was lying to me?
Before this question comes up, let me clarify there has never been any problem in bed.
She says she doesn't have a large appetite and we do it mostly two to three times a week.
She goes for two days' work trip every six months and she comes horny.
I look forward to satisfy her after that.
I really don't know what to do, or how to react.
Should I wait for her to return and have a confrontation before making any decision?
or should I just ghost?
Honestly, there's so much rage inside me right now.
I feel like smashing everything and burning down the house.
I have not spoken to anybody yet.
Not my family or my friends.
I'm getting married next month.
What do I even tell these people?
That my would-be wife was sexting her ex while lying naked with me.
I want to chase her down wherever she is, slammed the screen on her face,
and ask her for an explanation.
Has anyone been in this kind of situation before?
How did you deal with this man?
I'm freaking out.
Edit, I'm turning insane.
My emotions are just so volatile.
It's like a wave.
One moment, I think I should wait for her to come.
Another moment drives me crazy and I want to vanish in thin air.
Shit I haven't moved from this chair for the last two hours,
ever since I discovered the cheating whore.
I guess I have wasted enough time just thinking about this situation.
It's time for action.
Update 1, hello, thanks fellas.
I shut down the PC and then reopened this sub from my phone six hours later and boom, 50 plus comments.
Sorry for not being able to reply to each one of you, but I want to thank all of you who made an effort to read my Mambo-jumbo story and comment slash advice.
Some of you picked up on me saying I was never engaged, how could I call her my fiancé?
I don't know what social structure you guys follow, but in our case, since we were about to get
married and we exchanged rings, I considered myself to be engaged. People asking me if there
were any red flags. No, HLL no. No red flags at all. She was the one who brought up the topic
of marriage. In the last four years of dating, there was not a lot of her.
a single sign or deceit. It was a perfect relationship. That's what she made it look like. That's the
reason I was so much in shock. My first relationship also ended with my girlfriend cheating on me,
but it wasn't a shocker because she displayed the red flags all open. I caught her cheating at her
very first instance. Hence, in this relationship, I always kept my eyes and ears open.
Talking about updates, so yeah like most of you suggested, I ghosted.
There was nothing left to be confronted after reading those long threads of emails.
I want to thank the user Eagle King 47 for a kicker suggestion.
I downloaded the email and forwarded it to my phone.
Though I didn't need any evidence, yet never hurts to have it in my back pocket.
You know in case.
So, I printed it and kept it as a backup.
up. Here comes the action. First, I changed the locks of the house. Called up my manager and
told him about the crisis. Not in detail. Just at the surface level that I had to call off my
wedding. He sort of understood and gave me two weeks time to have my shit together. Packed my stuff.
Booked a cheap motel for a month. Got a discounted rate because of the long stay. Next, I packed all
her stuff and sent it to storage. I kept the storage receipt at the door. She syncs her contacts
and photos on her Gmail. I deleted all of them. We had a joint account where we were putting in
money for our wedding. I took out my share which was like 70%. I cancelled the venue and got a 50%
refund. I cancelled all the other bookings, like photographer, caterer, etc. Got the refund for most of them.
Basically, I utilized those two days to its full potential.
In these two days, she texted and called me as usual but my ghosting had already started.
I didn't block her yet.
I wanted to see how she reacts to all these.
If at all, she figures out.
There was a series of messages from her in those two days, you know I lost all my contact from
my phone.
All the photos are gone.
I guess my phone has malfunctioned.
Thank God, it's backed up at home PC.
What's up with you?
Are you okay?
Why ain't you replying?
Why are you mad at me?
What happened to you?
Why ain't you responding to my calls?
She contacted my parents and brother to check if I was fine.
They had no clue about all this.
Mom immediately called me.
I answered her phone and told her not to say a word.
to Ellie. Just tell her that I didn't respond. I promised her I would come home the next day and
explain her everything. She did what I said. The text continued, Are you safe? Say something.
Babe, you're scaring me off safe. My A dollar. As if she cares. This went on for two days until
she arrived home to find the house locked and her key non-functional. I went to my parents,
and informed them I was calling off the wedding.
I told them Ellie had been emotionally cheating on me.
That's it. No details.
They understood and didn't probe me further.
They assured to support me through all means only if I promise to not harm myself.
I said I have crossed that phase.
I'm safe in that way.
Here's the meaty part.
Ellie lost her mind when she saw the house was locked.
She got the storage paper and
the doorstep. It was signed by me. Quite predicted, she relentlessly bombarded my phone with her calls
and voicemail. What the hell happened? Are you at home? Why did you do this to me? Did you find
someone else? After making fun of me with her ex, she had the audacity to turn it around me in
question if I was cheating on her. It was kind of satisfying to see her going through waves of emotions.
Her texts and voicemails said so.
One point, she started begging,
Baby, why are you doing this to me?
I love you.
We're going to get married next month.
Whatever issue you have, we can surely resolve.
Then another moment, she goes,
You're a coward and juvenile.
Son of a bitch.
You are no man.
You chose to hide.
I know you have been fucking behind my back.
She was projecting her insecurities on me.
When she eventually realized that I had deleted her contacts and her pictures and whisked out my share from the joint account, she got crazy.
She turned explosive and that's when I blocked her.
She has already hurt me enough.
I didn't want to take any more abuses from her.
People mentioned in the comments that I dodged a bullet.
Indeed, I did.
Few.
I've been living at the motel until I figure out what.
next. Thank God the wedding invite was not out yet. Sending a cancellation would have been another
hassle with so many questions and explanations. I haven't got a call from any of her family
members, friends, or acquaintances. I have not shown her emails to anyone yet, but I have kept
them safe. I have blocked her from everywhere. I have exited all the groups where we are a part of.
Thanks for all the comments. Last day I was working.
worse. Today is no better, but lighter than that day. I hope to come out of this. Thanks.
Update two Hello All, it's been a while since then. Starting from where I left. After being
denied entry into the house, she thought I was inside. She banged the door and window and only
stopped when the angry neighbors came out to shut her up. She then shows up at my workplace. I had
predicted her move. Hence I took a break. I informed the reception that any visitors who came
from me should know that I was on sabbatical for the near future. Ellie left a note for me at the
reception. It read, You can't hide from me, son of a bitch. I'm going to hunt you down and
rip you apart. I was flabbergasted at her shamelessness. After what she had done to me,
she had the balls to write such things for me. It boiled my blood and I wanted to
to hunt down her cheating a dollar and rip it apart. But I knew it was her move. She
deliberately wrote that. She's a manipulative bitch and knows how to use her words to play with
other's emotions. I took a deep breath and talked out myself from this thought. All these were
making me crazy. So I called my manager and asked him if I could work remotely instead of
sulking in the bed the whole day. He approved it and told me to take the work easy. I worked
remotely for a month. The motel was at the remote corner of the town. I intentionally chose a
secluded place. I didn't want to see any known faces. After locking myself for a couple of days,
I stepped out, roamed around in the nearby woods and an abandoned lake. It was a sort of
nature therapy. I thought I was making progress until the wedding day arrived. Not everyone remembered
but some of my close friends and relatives did remember that the wedding was around the corner and there was no invite.
Slowly, I informed my close friends about it.
They were equally shocked.
None of them saw it coming.
My best friend had spent the most amount of time with us.
I asked him to tell me honestly if he ever felt that Ellie wanted to ride her ex or in general she was harboring this kind of hatred for me.
He said he thought her to be a perfect wife material woman.
Now I don't know if we are a fool or if she's a player to hide it so well.
It was after weeks that I was talking again about that cheating whore.
I thought it would help the remaining bit of me to move on but no, it made me more miserable.
One more thing.
We had booked our honeymoon to Alaska.
When I was canceling the other wedding stuff, I tried canceling this too but it was non-refundable.
The trip was uninsured so I left it that way.
So, I decided to go for it.
However, I was worried about Ellie following me here because she too had the details of the trip itinerary.
You never know she could also think of relaxing her mind through this trip.
But I had deleted her inbox, yay, the booking was done by my account so there's no way for her to access it from her end.
So, here I am.
Sitting in a cozy cabin amidst the Alaskan scenic beauty and writing about my miserable life,
I hope it ends here and I leave all my worries and insecurities in this dense wood.
Day three, life is funny.
Guess whom do I bump into?
Yes, my ex, Ellie.
She did follow me here because she couldn't find me anywhere in the city.
The encounter was spooky at least the first 30 seconds.
I was loitering around the deserted landscape and from a distance, I saw a woman approaching me.
I didn't think too much about it.
As she came near, I realized she was Ellie.
It was so funny and frustrating at the same time.
What could I do?
I cannot run away from her.
The only sensible thing to do was walk away.
But she ran and stopped me.
I said I don't want to talk.
She kept yelling that she searched for me everywhere in the town.
Left me a note at my office to pinch on my vulnerability.
Took a flight to Alaska as a guesswork only to be coming.
confirmed at the hotel that I had checked in.
The trip is going to end tomorrow and yesterday it clicked her that I might be traveling
alone on our honeymoon.
She called up the airlines and the hotel and gave my details to check if I had canceled the
trip.
The plan was on.
She took a bet.
Booked the first flight to Alaska.
Took the details from the hotel about my today's plan and came chasing me.
She ranted this stuff following me for half a mile.
I turned back and said I don't care. You need to leave. She said she won't until I hear her side of the story.
I said I don't need to know more. After a while, I was drained. Not only from marching away but from all sorts of emotions flowing down my nerves.
I stood and asked her to complete her side of the story. She goes, how you ghost me like this?
We were supposed to be married last week.
You cannot do this to us.
If there was something bothering you, we could sit and discuss it.
Have I ever ignored your feelings?
No, right?
You cannot break up with me just for this trivial matter.
I am turning 28 in three months.
I need to get pregnant and have a baby before I turn 30.
We cannot ruin our plan.
You know how much I love you.
After everything you did to me, I came so far.
chasing you to mend things between us. Her last two sentences tapped on the wrong nerve.
I screamed, really. This is what you want to talk about. Gaslight the situation. Or tray me as the
bad guy. You're a narcissistic and self-centered woman. You don't care about anyone but yourself
and your stupid life goals of getting married before 28 and having a baby before 30. At what point are you
going to talk about your cheating. She snapped at this, that's not cheating. I have never met
him after college. I have never cheated on you. Not even the first base. And with this goes the
waterworks. However, that didn't stop me from screaming back at her, sexting your ex, talking about
your sexual fantasy, touching yourself thinking about him and then telling him that you want to
get drilled by him. All of it comes under cheating. Moreover, you mocked me. You lied to him that I
don't go back door. You're a manipulative whore. You lied to get his sympathy or whatever. This is the
sober version of what I actually said to her. She seemed shocked. She was like, you can't just make
things up. I definitely didn't mean those things. You're blowing the stuff out of proportion.
You know what I told him is a lie.
This Choo-A-T shamelessly winked at me and whispered,
It was just for fun, you know.
I was just trying to spice up things between us, I yelled how.
By mocking me?
She tried to justify herself, but she could not.
She basically repeated the same stuff that she didn't mean anything.
It was all a lie.
That she loved me and blah, blah.
I cut her off in between and said I was not interested in any of,
explanation. I have lost all love, respect, and everything for her. It was now that she realized
she had seriously screwed up big time. She apologized and pleaded for another chance.
Moreover, her request for another chance was on the basis that she never physically cheated
on me and that she had invested so many years in this relationship so that she could fulfill
her life goals, Mary by 28 and baby by 30. And now I cannot spoil it.
She's a psyche, I know.
She tried to follow me to the resort, but I shoot her away and threatened to report her as trespassers if she tried to break into my cabin.
She slumped into the ground breaking down and howling like a wild bitch.
I didn't even turn back to check if she was okay.
I headed back to the resort.
I have an early morning flight back home.
I have packed my stuff.
The staff would drop me off at the airport in the next two hours.
I don't think I can sleep.
Still, I feel relieved and fresh.
Maybe the confrontation and the encounter gave a sense of closure.
Though I was not seeking it.
I guess I can now go back to my home from the motel.
Don't think she's ever going to come back.
Maybe I'll cancel the lease because the house is too big for a single person.
I'll rent a smaller apartment.
Maybe I'll continue to journal about my life.
feels good to write down the emotions.
Thanks for reading this.
Looking forward to stay in touch and contribute to the community.
Cheers.
