Summary

After six years of marriage, the OP discovered a series of intimate emotional messages between her husband and his ex. The conversations weren’t harmless catching up—there were clear signs of emotional connection, nostalgia, and boundaries being crossed. When she confronted him, he dismissed her feelings and insisted it “meant nothing.”

Feeling betrayed and invalidated, OP decided she no longer trusted him enough to stay married and asked for a divorce. Her husband is now accusing her of “overreacting” and “throwing away their marriage over messages,” causing her to wonder if she made the right decision.

My Thoughts

Emotional cheating isn’t a minor slip—it’s a betrayal of intimacy and trust. What makes this worse is not just the messages, but his refusal to acknowledge their impact. A partner who dismisses your pain instead of addressing the root issue isn’t ready for reconciliation. You’re not wrong for choosing your peace.
