I read the emails back and forth between my ex-husband and the woman he ruined our marriage with where they were planning the road trip/romantic getaway after their "business" trip.
F**k you, T. Our son graduates in a month and I never have to speak to you again.

I didn't find anything in a partners phone, but I did find evidence in my phone that my partner had been deleting the contacts and text conversations I had with basically anybody who happened to have a feminine name. It's not like I was talking to women she was specifically suspicious of, she was just wildly possessive and didn't want me to speak to any other women. I first noticed it when she deleted my cousin as a contact. That same partner would do weird s**t like stalk the social media profiles and histories of any women I was friends with online or in real life, and then try to build cases against them to me about why I shouldn't be associated with them by sending me screenshots of posts they'd made ten years earlier or whatever that she didn't agree with.
Anyway, our relationship didn't last very long.

The way she talked about me to everyone. To her mom, her friends, and comolete strangers online. She called me pathetic, stupid, a failure, an annoyance, and a burden. She wished I was dead and talked about all the things she would do if I was gone. I loved her more than anything, and I was nothing to her. We were married 13 years. Now, I have been divorced for 1 and a half.

Cheating.
I noticed her phone ding, looked down as I was nearby and noticed it said something about a date she had been on.
We had not been on any dates.
It kinda tore apart the trust I had for her.

Not partner, but family.
We have a family group on whatsapp. One day I realized that people stopped talking as much. They didn't stop fully, but it was way less. I thought it was life getting busy and people just not using whatsapp as much anymore.
One day my aunt asked me to fix something on her phone. I took a peak and saw that they created another group without me, and it was full of recent messages.

I was dating a guy that I really liked, enough that I had initially overlooked some red flags.
We were spending the night together and he fell asleep super early. His phone kept buzzing and I saw a familiar name on the screen… his coworker he had mentioned a few times.
It was way too early in the relationship for me to be looking through his phone but it was right there and I couldn’t stop myself. So much cringe flirting and pathetic pickup attempts at this *seventeen year old girl*, and I got so sleeved out I just left. He was in his 30s.
Never saw him again.

"Thanks for letting me see you the other day. You know just how to make me feel better. If I had seen our future together I never would've married him."
Read those words once and I still can't unsee them.

I had a sneaking suspicion after we started becoming less intimate. I found out that my ex was messaging hundreds of other women flirty things and some full on sexual requests on social media as early as September. We started dating in August, so a month into our relationship.
Seeing those messages sent me into a full blown panic attack to where I had to go to the ER because my heart rate was through the roof. I loved him more than anything, I eventually learned he was also cheating on me with prostitutes as well.
Did a number on my self-esteem, fundamentally changed me as a person and my perception of love and relationships.
