Husband suspects wife of cheating over missed texts

A woman has shared her experience of her husband suspecting her of cheating after a work trip. She explained her husband became suspicious because she did not text him until 1 a.m. after an evening out with clients in Manchester. The woman mentioned that she hadn’t gone out in about two years. She drove herself to meet her clients for drinks and had pre-booked a hotel to be close to the office for the next day. During the night, she admitted to having several drinks and feeling unwell. She intended to text her husband about feeling dizzy but fell asleep instead. When she woke up at 1 a.m., her husband was already angry. He now believes she was unfaithful. The woman expressed that this behavior from her husband, including giving her the silent treatment for over a week, has been unbearable. Many readers on the discussion forum understood why the husband was upset but criticized his use of the silent treatment. They pointed out that communication is more effective than punishing someone with silent treatment. Some even suggested that the husband’s reaction was overly dramatic and not fair. The woman emphasized that she has never cheated in their 16-year marriage and has always communicated with him, especially during nights out. She is seeking advice on her situation and asking if she was in the wrong.
