Okay, so, things with my girlfriend have been, well, off lately. It’s been eating at me, and I finally decided I needed to get to the bottom of it. The title I came up with for my notes was “signs my gf is cheating,” which, yeah, sounds pretty dramatic, but that’s where my head was at.
First, I grabbed my notebook and jotted down everything that felt weird. You know, the stuff that didn’t add up. Like, she’s suddenly super glued to her phone, always tilting it away when I walk by. And she’s started working late a lot more. Used to be we’d grab dinner most nights, but now it’s like, maybe once a week?
Then there’s the whole password situation. We used to know each other’s, no big deal. But a few weeks ago, she changed hers and got all defensive when I asked about it. It was weird, man. Really weird.
My Investigation Process
- Started paying more attention to her routine. Like, when does she actually leave for work, when does she come back? I even drove by her office a couple of times, just to see if her car was there. Sounds crazy, I know, but I was desperate.
- Tried to casually bring up the late nights and the phone stuff. But she just brushed it off, said I was being paranoid. Maybe I was, but something still felt wrong.
- Checked her phone bill once when she was in the shower. I know, I know, it’s a total invasion of privacy, but I was losing my mind. Saw a number that kept popping up, a lot. Didn’t recognize it.
- Googled the number, tried to see if it was linked to anyone. No luck. Felt like I was hitting a wall.
- Considered talking to her friends, to see if they knew anything. But I didn’t want to start drama if I was wrong. Plus, I didn’t really trust them to keep it to themselves.
Finally, I just confronted her. I laid it all out, everything I’d noticed, everything that was bothering me. It was a mess. She cried, I yelled, it was just bad. Turns out, I was right. She had been seeing someone else. Some guy from her work.
So, yeah, that’s my story. It sucks. It really, really sucks. But at least now I know. I’m not going crazy, and I’m not being paranoid. I’m just dealing with a crappy situation. And hey, at least I have the whole process documented. Maybe it’ll help someone else, who knows.
