I Discovered That My Husband Was on a Dating App… and Now We’re Getting Divorced

We started chatting, and honestly, I felt sick. He introduced himself as a “divorced man” whose “ex-wife” (me) had left him ages ago. He painted himself as this wholesome guy with no bad habits, just looking for love and a happy family. Reading his words made my blood boil.

But I didn’t let it show. I played along, sweet and flirty, and eventually “I” suggested we meet up. We agreed on a little night out of town, nothing too suspicious but far enough away that it would take effort. He was all in—like a teenager planning a first date.

Fast forward to the night of our “date.” He told me he had been urgently called into work and needed to leave. I smiled, told him to be safe, and let him walk right out the door. He thought he was being slick.

Hours passed. At 5:00 AM, the front door slammed. He stumbled in, furious, exhausted, and reeking of cab fare. Turns out he’d spent two hours traveling each way and dropped a small fortune just to sit alone in a strange town waiting for a woman who never showed up.
