Real Life Red Flags That Marked a Turning Point in These Relationships
Some people just aren’t meant for each other. Whether you don’t like the same music, or your significant other can’t stand the way you fold your laundry, these small things can really add up over time.
And when your partner decides to show you their red flags, don’t ignore them. You’re probably better off looking for a better connection elsewhere!
Amazon Slimeball
We had been married for a few years and it was great, but once we had a baby, he panicked. All of a sudden he didn’t know what he wanted.
Eventually, he asked me for space. We still spoke but he wasn’t involved with our baby or fixing our marriage.
Ten months later, I added a new Amazon Echo to our family Prime account and I noticed a device I didn’t recognize.
I figured out that the device was set up at the place where he was currently living. Since it was linked to our account, I was able to go through voice requests and play them back.
One recording sent chills up my spine. It was my husband saying, “Alexa, play beautiful love songs” while in the background I can hear intimate noises. Turns out, he was having an affair with a colleague.
They’d been having an affair since at least the birth of our daughter, but lots of clues say it started before. It was easier to end it considering how long he had already been gone.
When I originally shared this on social media, it got picked up by a tabloid newspaper with the headline ‘Amazon Slimeball’ which is now what he is saved as in my contacts forever.
I Had My Suspicions
He has a longtime friend of his (who happened to be female) who was staying the night. She was sleeping in the basement bedroom and we were upstairs.
Well, he slipped out of bed in the middle of the night and woke me up. When he noticed, he told me he had to go to the bathroom.
I guess I already had my suspicions, because I lay there and listened to him walk down the hall, then past the bathroom, and down the stairs. So, I followed. And caught him in the basement getting ready to sleep with her. Oh.
I was not a happy puppy.
Was stupid and tried to salvage our engagement, but I wasn’t “fun anymore” and he left. Ilunibi
He Had it All
My friend seemed to have it all. But there was one problem: No matter what he said, his beautiful French wife refused to speak English when her family was over.
Instead, they would just speak in French the entire time while he sat by, not understanding a word.
He started to get suspicious, so he recorded their conversation and got it translated—that tape was absolutely heartbreaking. The entire family was insulting him whenever they came over. It was absolutely brutal.
Notifications On
My then boyfriend had let me use his iPad to watch a movie on Netflix. He had his messenger account linked to both his tablet and his phone, and messages kept popping up on it while I was watching without him realizing I could see.
I got to watch in real time as he got his best friend’s wife to agree to sleep with him over the coming holiday weekend; with the promise that he’d get rid of me for that weekend so they could get intimate in our bed.
