Ask Sugar: My Husband Has Been Flirting On Social Media

Dear Sugar,
My husband and I have been married for two years now. Before this, we were dating for five years. And in those five years, I didn't have any reason to believe he was cheating. I could always access his mobile phone anytime.

But last week, when I was checking some funny pictures saved on his phone, I saw a message pop up from Twitter.

I decided to open it and saw a lot of flirty DMs from him and a lot of girls. I never really thought I'd need to check his Twitter DMs. So I decided to push further to other social media and saw nudes from some of his followers on Instagram. As I speak, he doesn't know that I am aware, and I am so heartbroken.
I need your advice on how to approach this because I am so shaken.

Dear K. L,
This situation must be painful for you to experience, especially since your marriage is still new. If you're looking to solve this issue between the both of you, you would need to sit down with your spouse and address it.

You should also save copies of the evidence in case there are unresolved issues, (you will need evidence of infidelity) and you are looking to get a divorce.
In any case, you should pay more attention to yourself and your wellbeing.

Since there are chances that he may have been sleeping with other people, you should also consider getting tested.

I wish you all the best,

Love,

Sugar
