Wronged wife blames the cellphone

By Amy Dickinson, Tribune Content Agency on

Dear Amy: I learned via text message that my husband is in a relationship with another woman.

He made the mistake of sending a text to me, instead of the woman he is having an affair with.

After more than 20 years of marriage, every single person we know is stunned by this.

I am absolutely LIVID with this woman and have every intention of letting her know how this affected me, and what it's going to do to her husband when he finds out (which he will, as she will eventually make the same mistake as my husband made).

I am also LIVID at cellphones and what they've allowed to happen in our society.

It's so easy to take a picture today but send it tomorrow, essentially lying about where you are. It's so easy to text and say, "I'm here," when you're actually in a different location.

 

When did cellphones become like another person in our relationship?

I used to say to my husband, "You hardly talk to me," and now I know why: he was talking to her!

At one point, he received a text late at night. I asked him about it, thinking it was an emergency, and he told me it was "none of my business who texted him."

That should have been a HUGE red flag at the time, but honestly, I just put it out of my mind.
