I’m not the kind of wife who checks her husband’s phone. Honestly, what’s the point? If someone wants to cheat, they’ll find a way to hide it.
But lately… something about him felt off. He was acting strange. Clutching his phone like it was a newborn. Screen always going dark when I came near. And whenever I asked anything, he got snappy, defensive.
Instead of picking a fight without proof, I decided to play it smart. Subtle.
They say when women cheat, they use their hearts — and when they do, they often get curious about the wife of the man they’re seeing. So I thought, “Alright, let’s give her something to look at.”
I switched my Instagram to public, then started posting a series of picture-perfect family moments: cooking with the kids, cozy vacation photos, sweet couple shots. Totally not me, but hey — all part of the trap.
Did it work? Oh yes. Before long, the side chick slid into my DMs. 🤣
She came to complain. Whining like some poor girlfriend left behind. She said she was hurt that her boyfriend (my husband 🙄) went on trips with me and the kids, while she and her two kids were never invited.
I played along. Not out of kindness — but because I needed her side of the story. If I confronted my husband at this point, he’d just deny everything, right? So there I was, playing “mamah dedeh,” patiently listening to her vent. Soon enough, I collected solid proof: screenshots of their WhatsApp chats, even a message where he asked her, “When are we getting married?” Oh, please. 🤣
Once I had everything, I confronted my husband. At first, in a calm tone — fishing for honesty. But, of course, he denied it. So I turned the volume up just a little (not too loud, though — I didn’t want the neighbors to hear this shameful mess 😅).
He finally broke down. Admitted everything. Asked for forgiveness. And begged me not to tell his mom because he didn’t want to hurt her. I agreed — because honestly, I love my mother-in-law like my own mom.
But it didn’t stop there. Oh no.
I called the side chick from his phone. The three of us had a little conference call. And there I was, feeling like a school counselor mediating two naughty kids. I told her, firmly: “Stay away. If you keep this up, I’ll have no choice but to file a police report.” She promised to back off.
And now? My husband is completely under control. 🤣
I hold all the passwords. I decide when to change them. His phone is basically on parental control now — even hooked up to Family Link so I can monitor it whenever I feel like it. His office contacts? I’ve got them. Friends outside work? I made sure to get to know them too. Share location? Oh, that’s just part of daily life now. The side chick has stayed away… so far.
Here’s my advice:
Dealing with something like this isn’t easy. In the beginning, you’ll feel like exploding. But hold it in… hold it… because you need to throw your bomb at the right moment.
Male or female — if they’re cheating and you confront them with no proof, they’ll just lie. So don’t drag it out. Stay calm, gather evidence, and strike when ready.
Game over.
