Story 49: I Wish She'd Just Been Cheating On Me •Part 1•

My girlfriend and I have been together for over two years now, and our relationship had been going great. We loved to cook together, dance together, play video and board games together, and she even got me to run with her in the mornings (an impressive accomplishment, let me tell you.) We spent a lot of time together, and I loved every minute of it. I loved every beautiful aspect of her. I was ready to ask her to marry me and had even bought a ring. That's when she started disappearing.

After she gets off work, she usually stops by our place, and we decide what we're going to do that night. She's always been spontaneous and doesn't like to plan ahead. She called me and told me that she was going to go out for drinks with her coworkers and would come by later that evening. I was happy that she was going to hang out with other friends, and I know that interaction with other friends is important in any healthy relationship. So I was happy she was having fun.

I sat there watching a marathon of a car show on Netflix that she doesn't like to watch with me, and when I had binged two complete seasons, I realized that it was getting really late. She had to work the next morning, and happy hour had ended a long time ago. I tried calling and texting her, but she never answered. I started to get worried and paranoid (as you do when you care about someone, thinking that they've been in an accident or something). After hours of freaking out, she finally came home at 3:00am.

Relieved, annoyed, and curious—I tried to ask her where she'd been. She gave a vague answer about being out with her coworkers, and she said that she was really tired and drunk and just wanted to go to sleep. I decided to set the curiosity and annoyance aside and decide to just be okay that she was home safe with me.

That was the first night, and every night after that, she'd have a different excuse with a different activity that she was doing. At first, it didn't bother me too much. I knew that she needed to have some time to herself and didn't need to spend every moment with me. It wasn't until she gave the excuse that she was going to get a mani-pedi with her best friend and came home with neither manicured fingernails nor toenails that I became truly suspicious.

Anytime that I tried to confront her about it, she got very defensive, shouting at me that I needed to trust her and that we didn't need to spend all our time together. The only problem is that we were now almost no waking time together. She would come home exhausted and would always go right to sleep. We'd not had s3x in weeks.

Because of all these factors, I had to assume the worst that she had found someone else and was cheating on me. I was devastated but had to know for sure before I went ahead and ended things with her. (I loved her, after all, and had been planning on marrying her, but ongoing infidelity like this is a dealbreaker for me.) I decided that I needed to follow her to know for sure.

I called in sick for work yesterday and waited outside her office in a rented car so that she wouldn't notice me when I followed her. She left out the back door of her building at exactly 5:01pm and almost ran to her car. She backed up and pulled out with a screech, and I followed her. I followed her through downtown, past a suburb, and into an industrial yard. At this point, I was baffled and frankly scared. This was not exactly a typical clandestine romantic rendezvous locale.

I saw her park her car and enter a building. I drove around the back and parked my own car and found a fire escape was next to a small, broken, and grimy window. Through it, I could see and hear fairly well, but unless someone specifically looked for me, they wouldn't ever notice me. I saw that there were about thirty people gathered. The large warehouse space was bare except for a couple of tables with hors d'oeurves and drinks and something that looked like a tetherball pole without the ball. The people there were greeting my girlfriend and a few others who had just arrived.
