I believe my partner of 11 years is having a full blown affair - I’ve posted before but now I’m destroyed. I lost my baby girl earlier this year at 25weeks and I’m pregnant now
One night I went to pick him up from a night out, found a condom on the hall table. Odd we don’t use them.
Been monitoring them (not sure why he has a box but there are several missing) however now some more have gone missing.
He’s been snap chatting other girls - then deleted the screenshots. I took photos first so I have evidence. Full on sexting saying how he can’t wait until the next day etc
Last Saturday night (the night that 2 more condoms went missing) I had worked a 13 hour day and when I got home I couldn’t get hold of him - 3 calls and a text and no answer. When he does answer he sounded very flustered, said his phone was downstairs while he was helping his mate build her daughter’s bed, odd his phone doesn’t leave his pocket when I’m with him.
Now I’ve turned into a anxious depressed lunatic- i check his search history daily and his photos on his iPad, today he is googling hotels in Cardiff on a weekend for 2 adults for when he knows I’ll have to work and when there is no events happening. When I asked to stay in a hotel for our mates wedding (1 hour from our house) he said no, no point!
I’m anxious enough with this pregnancy and now this - I’ve had enough! I really wanted to be able to be able to enjoy my scan tomorrow but he’s ruined it for me

Girl.. leave his ass. As tough as I’m sure that will be, and easier said than done, you and your baby do not deserve that negativity or extra stress. He’s definitely cheating on you. You should be able to enjoy this time of your life with your special little one on the way. He isn’t worth it.. theres a man out there for you who is supposed to treat you the way you deserve.
thank you, I know I need to go. Guess I just don’t know how to start the conversation or anything. 11 years we’ve been together. Now he mentions - you got what you wanted - to get pregnant. I didnt exactly want it in this way.

I think you answered your own question …he’s definitely cheating. Whether it’s a full blown affair or several different people, he’s cheating.
I’m so sorry this is happening to you. I would go as far as to say sexting and Snapchat is also cheating— it just is. I hate that we as women bend so much and accept so much.
Darling I hope you have friends or a support system. I cannot imagine the pain you’re going through. If you want to address it, you can present the evidence, but honestly, at this point you know— it doesn’t matter with whom or what, but you know.
Can you work on your nest egg and leave him? Or maybe you can ask him to leave? I think it’d be more painful and more stress on you during this pregnancy always wondering where he is and who he’s with.
Your feelings are completely valid. You sound completely done. You don’t even have to show him the evidence you can just let him know, you’re done and one of you needs to leave so you can have a healthy pregnancy.

I agree with , if you’re unsure how to start the conversation just be honest, speak from you heart, and tell him you’re done with the relationship and made the decision to leave him. If he wants to ask questions tell him flatly you’ve been treated unfair for a long time and are not going to raise your child in an unhealthy, unhappy environment.

This is so sad, but you can have a happy pregnancy without all of that... you can do this 💪. Get help from a therapist. I resisted it for so long and I cannot tell you how much better it is when you can air it all. Keep a journal where you can vent and get all the bad feelings out. Talk to people. Look after yourself and the baby and everything will be OK. Sending you love and a bug hug

He’s an asshole for saying that. He’s being extremely selfish and you deserve so much better.
No one deserves to be spoken to that way especially while carrying his child.
He’s giving you all the signs that he doesn’t truly value you or care about your feelings. He can also bring something home to you during your pregnancy that can affect your birth and the baby. If you haven’t already, I wouldn’t sleep with him again.

I'm so sorry you're going through this. Your suspicions are very valid. Listen to your gut, it will never lie to you. Leave him. You deserve better.
edit to add: another thing I find disgusting about his behavior is that he seems like he's not even trying to hide it. Almost like he wants you to find the evidence so you're the one who leaves him so he doesn't have to have that difficult conversation with you. And then he can just smugly wipe his hands clean and walk away. He's a coward.
