Why I cheated: My wife spends my hard-earned money shopping online all day

Being in love and one relation certainly increases the feeling of connection with each other. However, it can also easily overwhelm a person if their partner becomes dependent on them for everything. My wife left her career, gave up driving and began to depend on me for her emotional, financial and even transportation needs. I earn a nice amount of money. However, we both live in the metropolitan city of Bangalore and it is always better when both partners work. It only improves one’s lifestyle. Anyway, I understood she wanted to get away for a while, but she’s been at home for 2 long years. We don’t want to start a family right now and my parents live in my hometown. Since she doesn’t have much to do, she spends a lot of money on shopping. She used up her savings a long time ago and now it almost feels like she’s determined to use up my savings too.

Her despicable behavior started to worry me a lot. From clinging to me the moment I leave the office, asking me for money all the time, sending me stupid memes while I’m at the office, to trying bizarre things to spice up our sex life, she is truly 360 degrees changed. I told her to go back to work because I thought that would get her back to normal behavior. However, she blatantly told me she didn’t want that and started crying.

Fed up with the problems in my personal life, I naturally looked for some fun elsewhere. I’ve become so disenchanted with the idea of ​​love that all I wanted to do was have one night stands. I signed up on an app and there I found a damsel in distress. She was witty, beautiful to look at, charming and a simple girl. She told me up front that she wasn’t looking for anything casual and that she had had a bad breakup in the past. I lied to her that I was also looking for something meaningful.

We started meeting and our interactions were so much fun. We would explore new cafes, think about life, share our emotions, among many other things. We started sleeping together after a while and since then I feel like I have my mojo to live again. I’m starting to develop serious feelings for her, but she doesn’t know that I’m already a married man and an unhappy one at that. I’m afraid of what would happen if she somehow found out.

Life is a lot better with her. I sometimes don’t go home for days and my wife is also starting to get suspicious. So far so good and if I’m lucky I’ll definitely want to enjoy it while it lasts. So yes, I continue to cheat on my life and the only justification for this is that she left me no other choice. She doesn’t know how to be a good wife and support her husband. In my opinion, she is self-centered and I don’t see how much she will change anytime soon.
