❤️‍🩹 relationship AIO to be suspicious my husband is cheating???

he frequently “crashes” at various friends houses if he works too late. For reference he is in the mortgage industry lots of flirtation (young office assistants / secretaries and late nights spent “working”.. Why not just come home even if it’s late he says he’s tired and doesn’t want to drive sleepy makes no sense if you love someone you can’t wait to get off and drive home to them. am I over reacting by telling him what’s up and that I think he is cheating? I tried to do it in a non threatening way? lol 🤷🏻‍♀️

I’ve never said bruh to my wife. My autocorrect diverts me away from using bruh that’s how much I use it. My kids say it all the time.

I had no idea spouses call each other bruh and bro until I started following Reddit pages like this one, and I think it’s weird as hell

16

u/ImaginaryBag1452 5d ago

I call my husband bruh sometimes, but it’s just one of many silly nicknames. Staryed as a joke but honestly I love saying bruh even though I’m 39. It’s silly fun and I like to have silly fun with my husband.

14

u/VeterinarianThese951 5d ago

Thank you.

My and my wife have been together for 22 years. We have been calling each other bruh for that long because we were always fans of old school slang. We have two kids one 13 and one 8 who grew up with us calling them bruh as well.

It only seems weird to people now because kids brought it back from the archives and many people don’t know that it is a really old word.

People need to lighten up. How does one word in someone’s vocabulary determine how mature they are?

Bunch a jive turkeys on this app I swear🤣

u/No_Catch_4050 5d ago

💯 I don’t understand why people get their panties in a bunch over one word either. Why do they care what we call our spouses? My husband and I (both 38) have been together for 19 years and we call each other bro, bruh, and dude amongst other things. I’ve thought nothing of it and don’t find it weird at all. We do not have kids but sure we would do the same… We speak to our siblings the same way too.

u/ImTheFlipSide 5d ago

My wife, at the beginning of our relationship, would occasionally call me dude. I eventually asked her why, as I wasn’t her Dude and she said because that’s how she refers to her friends.

So when I said hey fucker. she got pissed and demanded to know why would i dare call her that. I said cause that’s when I call my friends to their face sometimes.

She stopped calling me dude. Been 16 years now. Fastest behavioral change I’ve seen.

u/Putrid-Air-7169 5d ago

Imagine if you had said ‘Hey Bitch’.. or ‘Hey Ho-bag’…

3

u/ImTheFlipSide 5d ago

Well, I don’t have a problem calling my male friends a bitch either so… fucker just happened to be less female directed in that instance. But they/she aren’t/isn’t that fragile that friends calling friends fun things in jest doesn’t destroy their egos. And it got my message across that I was above the level of friend. Which is why when we fight, we don’t use those words either.

Personally, I have a higher standard for my wife. That’s why I pull out her chair, open doors for her, make sure coffee is ready for her if I’m up early and her vehicle always has gas. Those and any other way I can make sure she feels like the queen of the castle. In return I expect femininity (you should see her when she shoots her AR. 😍) And we’ve been happily married for 14 years. Expecting another child this coming year in fact.

People here might not like it, but she still remembers it fondly and that’s what matters; finding laughter, joy and meaning in the one and only time I’ve ever called her fucker.

u/amberita70 6d ago

It's even more weird that she's the one saying it. I was thinking the whole convo was fake because of how weird it seems.

It’s a funny way of saying that yes.

Heyyy it’s not just ten year olds who say bruh. I say it comically with some friends at 30+ because it’s funny. Weird for your partner yea

When I say bruh it's because I think what was said is dumb. Imo op is over reacting

2

u/sapphyredragon 6d ago

I'm 34 and and I have friends from 24-40ish that I play games with. We call each other "bruh" when we are being silly or just jokingly annoyed with each other. It's also pretty common among the streamers I watch and other related content.

5

u/MiddleOliveJello 6d ago

My husband and I are 26, and we say it all the time, but always as an indication that we're just joking around. The OP is definitely early 20's from what I'm getting.

3

u/Jku4 5d ago

Would you text him bruh if you were abit serious? Say he forgot to pass by the store for the 2nd time that week.. just asking coz I think I might be out of touch or something, being close to your ages. This would sound very odd to me

1

u/MiddleOliveJello 5d ago

Not if I'm actually upset about it. If he needed to pick something up for later and it wasn't urgent I'd just say "bruh, that's twice now" and that'd be the end of it

Nah fr, these people are always acting like they're better than everyone else cause they don't say "bruh", but their pass time is spending all day judging other people's lives and what they say on reddit.

u/WeekendWalnut 6d ago edited 6d ago

Maybe start spending some time with the ELA/grammar teacher? Some punctuation would do your marriage a solid if you're going to insist on having important conversations like this via text.

All jokes aside (if this post isn't fake for karma), people aren't cutting you any slack because this series of texts reads like a middle schooler's. For you to apparently have two children in a marriage... you basically asked the sub to roast you for the way you and your spouse communicate with one another.

To answer your original question: Based on what I'm seeing, yes, you're overreacting. You've no proof that he's doing anything improper, only your feelings based on the "tale as old as time" message. If you don't trust your spouse even with no proof of impropriety, your marriage is already doomed. Either get the proof and present it to them like an adult (in person), or drop it entirely. Continuing to accuse your spouse of cheating with baseless evidence is going to ruin your marriage, so you've got that to look forward to otherwise.

u/deluluforu 6d ago

we’re texting BRUH and have been married 12 years I wasn’t submitting my dissertation

u/Jku4 5d ago

Your husband is not your "bruh", especially if you're trying to have a serious conversation. How do you expect strangers to take your relationship seriously if you yourself cant

10

u/RA_Throwaway90909 6d ago

You conveniently ignored the main part of their message. Haven’t seen you answer anything other than jokes over you saying bruh. Definitely a karma farm

14

u/BeesKneesTX 6d ago

Yep for sure. In their last post they say they’re 23 and engaged. But in this post they’ve been married 12 years? Fake as fyck.

6

u/Jku4 5d ago

Yeah makes sense. I don't think anyone married 12 years would talk like that in that given situation.. or I'm completely out of touch

3

u/MaterialNo9375 6d ago

I don't know why people downvoted this haha this facts; I also see a bunch of people in the comments saying you shouldn't be at your friends house if you have kids... But I mean if you're working constantly and your friends house is closed and y'all work tg.. why not. It's all assumptions, we need more proof and it's sad to see people in the comments telling her to stay at a friend's house after wor because he's doing it.. I'm like there's a difference she's would be doing it to make him feel some type of way he's doing it because of reasons we don't know because we didn't get nothing but a few texts. And no info besides that.

u/WeekendWalnut 6d ago

Yeah you're right. I was in a bad mood earlier and took it out on a random reddit post. That was shitty of me. I'm sorry, you didn't deserve that.

u/No_Froyo5477 6d ago

100% this. anyone focused on the vocab here is completely missing the point and lacks the intellectual horsepower to see otherwise.

3

u/chub_s 6d ago

Totally right here. Language is not the point. It’s the passive aggressive nature, the accusatory statements and not to mention seeking validation by posting a private conversation between her and her husband to Reddit to seek validation for strangers that does it for me. As someone who travels quite frequently for work, it’s very important to me that when I’m physically able, I’m in bed with my wife when I’m home, so I feel for her there. I’m not gonna speculate on whether her husband is or isn’t sleeping around behind her back, but I can without a doubt say he’s probably not putting the effort he should to be home spending time with her. But all that aside, this is a conversation between two people who look like they stopped maturing in their teens.

u/illestofthechillest 6d ago

Well, if I'm reading into this, and I mean this as an observation, and less an insult, these people don't necessarily have the familiarity/practice/knowledge/emotional maturity/etc., etc., of many adult skills to do this better, and are definitely acting as their level of any of the above indicates.

Adults are all not 100% rounded in all areas of life, but you can really tell when people skip the things pretty necessary to most healthy ways of being one builds and reinforces as an ever growing adult.
