I was using my husband’s laptop one afternoon when a dating site notification appeared. Curious, I clicked.
It showed messages to multiple women—and a line that broke me: “My wife is dead.”
After nine years of marriage, I believed I’d uncovered betrayal. I froze, called a lawyer, and emotionally checked out without saying a word.
Days later, my husband came home with another man—Greg. He explained the truth: Greg was widowed and afraid to date online, so my husband helped manage his profile.
The account wasn’t my husband’s. It was Greg’s.
I nearly ended my marriage over a misunderstanding.
That moment taught me this about love and trust:
Silence and assumptions can damage relationships more than the truth ever could.
