Discovering my husband’s secret online world
I never thought something "online" could destroy a real marriage.
For ten years, I believed we were close — until I found messages, profiles, and a life I didn’t even know existed.
It wasn’t physical. It was emotional. But somehow, that made it even harder to understand.
I’ve spent a long time asking myself why. Why someone would need those connections — hundreds of chats, messages, attention from strangers — when real love was already there.
I’m not here to blame or shame. I’m here because I still want to understand what drives people to live a second life online.
Has anyone here been on the other side — the one keeping secrets?
I would really appreciate hearing honest thoughts from both sides, especially from men who’ve done it. Not to accuse, but to learn.
Thank you for reading this. 🌿
