My wife's mobile mis-hap
I was heading up the stairs to bed one night. My wife had gone perhaps an hour earlier. I came into the bedroom to find a peculiar sight. My wife's bedside light was still on, and she was lying with her mobile phone in her hand. However, she was fast asleep.

Trying not to wake her, I took the phone from her hand. It was a flip-style phone and as I was about to close it when I noticed that she had been in the middle of reading a text - from my mate - which explained in graphic detail what he'd like to do to her. I checked her outbox and found a similar array of texts from her to him.

She woke up at this point and there followed a 'discussion' between us. She was very apologetic - almost hysterical in fact - and assured me that nothing had happened physically between them. We tried to patch things up, but here we are a year later in the middle of separating.

Sorry, this story sounded a bit better in my head. First time I've told this to anyone though, so it's been quite cathartic.

Unlucky mate
You have my full sympathy.

But did you go and brawl the fellas face off with a club?

Holy fuck, dude!
That's a pretty grim find; one of my friends had a similar thing happen to him, except it was a text which mentioned all the things the guy would like to do to his fiancee *again*, needless to say that ended badly.

Chin up, my good man.

I get the feeling this will be one of those free therapy QOTWs
All for the better, I suppose.

Bad form...
Please post the story about kicking your friend's bollocks off and making him eat them.

That's really shit
I suppose - possibly - that it's less hurtful to find out now than to find out a couple of years down the line what's been going on for months/years etc.
Have a click and a hug.

This is the most on-topic response so far
And I can picture you lifting the phone up, reading the texts, seeing her wake up....

I've had exactly the same situation happen here. I've done the separating, now I'm doing the trying-to-get-child-contact thing.

Apologies for lack of funny, or indeed sleep at this time of night.

Cheers mate
I'm hoping to buy her out of the house, and I'm going for joint custody of the kids. I really don't fancy the "one afternoon a fortnight, pictures and McDonalds" routine.
