Woman Sees An Email On Her Husband’s iPad About An Apartment They Don’t Have, Drama Ensues

ADVERTISEMENT

Every once in a while, one might come across a story about a person maintaining a hidden family. Generally, this almost sounds like fiction, how can someone have the time, energy or resources to maintain two relationships when so many struggle with even one. But unfortunately, it’s not always something out of a movie.

A woman noticed a startling notification on her husband’s iPad about water repair on an apartment. The catch? They didn’t live in an apartment. She later shared a sizable update when she decided to take on readers suggestions and do some sleuthing. We reached out to the woman via private message and will update the article when she gets back to us.

Your partner getting weird messages might be cause for concern

But one woman was stunned when her husband’s iPad got an email about an apartment they didn’t live at

Men are generally more likely to cheat on their partners

While it’s still deeply unfortunate, it is statistically more common for men to cheat, compared to women. In general, roughly 4% of married men have admitted to cheating, while only 1% of married women have indicated the same. Like with any self-reported statistics, there is always the possibility that some folks are lying, but by and large, the trend appears to be clear. Men tend to be more opportunistic and might not set out to cheat, but will use a chance if it’s given to them.

That being said, married folks are, overall, the least likely to cheat, as the same study indicated that a shocking 37% of men reported cheating on their partner at least once during the last year. Similarly, the number for women was a lot higher, at 17%, but still considerably less female infidelity compared to men.

However, in most of these cases, the cheating was opportunistic and never went as far as signing a lease on another apartment while already living in a house. This is why perhaps the wife’s first thoughts weren’t infidelity, as it just seems like way too much. After all, the expenses alone would be a lot, never mind the difficulties in splitting time among both “partners” and remembering your lies. It’s already hard enough to communicate in many relationships, so keeping it up with multiple, separate partners seems like an immoral feat of endurance.

Cheating might be easier in the 21st century, but so is getting caught

It does seem that this man was not cut out for it. He only managed his charade for four months and was caught because of a notification on a device he left with his wife. At the same time, he appears to have had the sense to make up a lie about being in the process of divorce with his new girlfriend, no doubt drip-feeding her some stories and explanations about why they can’t spend more time together.

While the internet has been a very useful tool for cheaters, allowing them to coordinate with and discover new partners, this story is a clear example of exactly why it’s also a useful tool to see if your spouse is cheating. The wife could harness the advice of hundreds, if not thousands of people and use digital technology to locate and track down the exact apartment. Some folks will go out of their way to get revenge on cheaters, but the emotional burden is already great, so some closure is just as good.

Fortunately, the wife was no pushover and decided to go and confirm her fears instead of giving the husband precious time to concoct some excuse or made up story. At least he ended up exposed, both to the girlfriend, who now has a chance to see his true colors, and to his parents. Hopefully the now-ex-wife lands on her feet and can put this entire ordeal behind her. While there might be some reasons not to get divorced immediately, it’s good that she knows what’s best for her and leaves this fellow in the dust immediately.

Some readers gave some suggestions and guesses

I want to know how much trouble he got into for using company funds to cover the cost of the apartment... providing that was the ONLY thing he used them for. Dude went 2/2 on infidelity and embezzlement.

This happened to my mother in law. My father in law was not only cheating on her, but rented an apartment for his side piece and after leaving his wife in the morning for work, would then drive to the apartment to spend time with his gf before continuing his commute to work. She didn't find out until much later and unfortunately for my mother in law, this was only a drop in the bucket of his misdeeds.

My ex-wife did this to me. We had been together for a long time and she started seeing a women from her past. Her entire family about it and when I would call them to see if they had heard from her when I wouldnt for long periods of time they played dumb. When I found out her and this women rented an apartment behind my back I was devastated. I wish I could say it was the last straw, I fought to win her back. She came back and then I realized I didnt want her anymore even before she betrayed me. But she didnt come back really because of me, she came back because the girl who was also married was out doing d***s with her husband. Long story short, we have been divorced over ten years, we both got remarried, I am happy and her new wife left her for a man. I dont believe in revenge, I let karma handle it and they did for her in many ways.

I knew this was a cheating story, but some part of me hoped it was a secret investment like he owned the complex and hid it from her. It's always cheating.

Times never change. Back in the '70s, we went on a rare family vacation to see my Dad's parents in England. Mum and I went ahead on our own for a week as Dad had "business stuff" to take care of. Years later, Mum found out that business was moving Dad's latest bit on the side into her own apartment! Cheaters will always find a way.

I had a friend at school. Family never had any money. Everyone working to scrimp and save. They even took in foster children for the extra income. Father always busy with volunteer church work. Turns out that the father had another whole family with kids: that's where all the $$$$ was going.

If side piece is in an apartment already, then the apartment belonged to husband well before current side piece. If you caught him at this, what else has he been doing? He could have put your name on some seriously illegal doings.

She should have gone back to the apartment and told the girlfriend that he's been lying to her, too. Even if it was a case of sitting in the hall & talking through the door.

So your husband has shoddy cell service, he is away but left his ipad on in his den which you just happened to be cleaning, you had unrestricted access to his email , the maintenance man just happened to not speak great English but you got the unit number anyway. SERIOUSLY ????? The person who keeps writing these fake stories needs to get a life or at the very least take a creative writing course.
