I thought my husband of 8 years was cheating but it was our catfish neighbour – it’s scary how she got the ammunition
A WOMAN has revealed the horrifying story of how her neighbour’s terrible actions split up her marriage.
She split up with her husband over a year ago – but now knows the truth about what went down.
Taking to social media, she revealed she was devastated to receive a message saying her husband of eight years was on dating apps.
Now they’ve been separated for over a year and are currently “not on speaking terms” but she is desperate to rekindle their relationship after finding out the truth.
She explained: “I received a Facebook message in September last year that my ‘husband’ was talking and exchanging naked photos with other women on Tinder.”
I was convinced that he was cheating, and we had a terrible fallout
After talking to one of the women on the phone who her ”hubby’ was talking to she saw screenshots of the conversation and pictures.
The livid wife decided to install tinder, the dating app he supposedly used to find his profile for herself and found what she thought was his profile.
She said: “I was convinced that he was cheating, and we had a terrible fallout that evening which led to my family coming over to calm the situation.
“But instead, it escalated when my brother punched and grabbed hold of my husband.”
“The neighbours called the police and my husband was asked to pack a few things and stay elsewhere for a while.
“We separated shortly after, and he has since moved to Sydney to be closer to his ailing father but sees our kids for a weekend twice a month.”
It has now been 14 months since the pair separated and she was finally moving on – until she got a knock at the door.
She was left shocked to find out her neighbour was catfishing a woman online, using her husband’s photos.
The woman wrote: “[The neighbour] downloaded these photos from a Macbook that we lent him during COVID, and some of these photos were of intimate nature…and of me.
“The police are currently dealing with this.”
Now she was eager to speak to her ex-husband and wanted to make amends – but was unsure if it was too late.
She wrote: “I am so scared that we might be down too far the rabbit hole and that he will likely push for a divorce, even though I know that we love each other deeply, but this took a massive toll on our mental health, finances and the wellbeing of our three kids.”
People who commented on the Reddit post were sympathetic but many believed the relationship was over for good.
A few months later, she updated the subreddit, relationship_advice, to let them know the outcome.
She wrote: “It was decided that our marriage was beyond repair and that we should go our separate ways.
“He is currently in therapy and has requested that we have a clean break with no further contact in the future – I intend to respect his wishes and will continue to communicate through his lawyer on matters that concern our kids.”
