The morning sun shone mottled across my face through the cracks in the curtains. I lazily opened my eyes, ready for the new day. Suddenly, the phone vibrated a little, and I picked up the phone and saw that it was a text message from my husband.
"Baby, are you up?" the text message was simple and warm, but an inexplicable chill welled up in my heart. This text message shouldn't have been sent to me, because that "baby" is clearly not me.
After so many years of marriage, my husband hasn't said the word "baby" to me for a long time, he usually calls my wife directly, and at the moment he is on a business trip, last night before going to bed, we obviously sent each other WeChat, how could he inexplicably send me such a text message early in the morning?
So, the sweet title of "baby" made me stunned, and my fingers couldn't move for a while.
My husband has always been the most solid support in my heart, and we used to be so loving and trusted each other. However, this text message was like a sharp knife that pierced my trust and made me start to doubt our relationship.
I tried to stay calm and replied with a text message: "Well, I just woke up, husband, what about you?" ”
Although he replaced the word "baby" with "wife" at this time, his tone was as calm as ever, as if the text message that was sent wrong was just a small episode, and there was nothing wrong.
However, I can't fool myself. I knew there must be some secret behind this text message.

When I woke up, I started to think back to some of my husband's recent behaviors, and the details that I had overlooked gradually came to my mind.
He always came home late some time ago, and every time he said that he was working overtime. And his phone has also become extremely mysterious, always with him, and also set a new password, not let me easily check it, and said that this is a kind of respect for each other, he will not look at my phone.
Think about it carefully, in those days, whenever a message came from his mobile phone or a phone call, his eyes often flashed, as if he was deliberately hiding something.
These are the details that I have never cared about before. But now, they are like thorns in my heart. I began to wonder if my husband was really having an affair.
Thinking of this, I decided to investigate him secretly.
After he returned from a business trip, I began to keep an eye on his whereabouts and observe his words and deeds. Later, I installed tracking software on his phone to find out the truth.
After a period of observation and tracking, I finally discovered my husband's secret. He was really in constant contact with a woman, and the intimate text messages and call logs, as well as their frequent visits to a hotel, really made my heart twist.

I was angry, disappointed, and heartbroken. I can't imagine that the man who once vowed to protect me for the rest of my life would betray me. I felt as if I had been thrown into an icy abyss, unable to breathe.
However, I knew I couldn't just give up. I'm going to face reality and find out the truth of things. I decided to have a showdown with my husband and let him give me an explanation.
When I sat in front of my husband and showed him everything I had discovered, his face turned pale. He tried to explain, but the words pale in comparison.
"I'm sorry, I was wrong. He eventually confessed his betrayal. He said that he and the woman were only temporary emotional impulses and that he had not thought about leaving me.
However, these explanations have not been able to save my heart. I know that betrayal is an unforgivable act. I can no longer trust him as much as I used to, and I can't love him as much as I used to.
I finally decided to divorce him. Although the process was full of pain and struggle, I knew it was a choice I had to make. I'm going to protect myself, I'm going to get myself back on my feet.
After the divorce, I started a new life. I work hard and face life's challenges positively. Although I can feel lonely and helpless at times, I know that it is all temporary.
Gradually, I stepped out of the shadows and regained my confidence and courage. I learned to live independently, I learned to take care of myself, and I also started to try to accept new feelings.

In retrospect, that mistaken text message may have been a hint of fate. It allowed me to see my husband's true face and gave me the opportunity to start my life again.
Although the process was full of pain and struggle, I am grateful for the experience because it has made me stronger and more mature.
I would like to tell all my female friends who are going through a similar dilemma: don't be afraid to face reality and don't run away from your feelings. Be brave enough to face the problem and find a solution.
"Baby, are you up?" was a turning point in my life. It made me lose the trust and love I once had, but it also allowed me to find a new self and courage.
Author's message: If a man chooses to betray you, then in fact, this marriage is already unstable, so we must have the courage to face all possibilities and solve this problem fundamentally.
I hope you can remember that a person, a relationship, and a marriage can never determine a woman's life, and what can determine our life will always be yourself.
