A suspicious text from an older woman on her fella\u2019s phone got Alanah fretting. Was she just a friend \u2013 or his floozy?<\/p>\n

Love’s young dream – but it was almost ruined when Alanah discovered Jay had been playing away\u00a0<\/p>\n

My phone pinged with a text and I clicked to open it.
Jay Stevenson has added you, read the notification on Snapchat.
I didn\u2019t know Jay, but curious, I accepted his friend request.
And as I swiped through his profile, I was glad I did.
Dark and handsome, with sexy stubble, Jay was easy on the eye.
I know you don\u2019t know me, but you look lovely, he typed.
I felt my cheeks flush red as my thumb hovered over my phone screen.
It was very forward of Jay\u2026 but I liked it.
You\u2019re not so bad yourself! I typed back, flirtatiously.
It broke the ice and after that, we stayed up all night talking.
Jay told me that he lived with his parents on the other side of the city, and when he asked if we could meet in person, I didn\u2019t hesitate.
\u2018Sure, sounds good,\u2019 I replied.
After talking for hours, I already felt comfortable with Jay.
And when we met for a drink a few days later, the chemistry between us was electric.
Charming and confident, Jay had the gift of the gab.
But I could tell there was a kind, softer side beneath his \u2018cheeky chappie\u2019 exterior.
It wasn\u2019t long before we became a couple and soon, we were spending virtually every day together.
Three months later, we enjoyed a sun-soaked, romantic break to Gran Canaria.
And after a year together, we started planning on getting our own place.
\u2018I can\u2019t wait to wake up to you every morning,\u2019 Jay said, nuzzling into my neck.
\u2018You can\u2019t wait for me to do your laundry, more like,\u2019 I joked and he laughed.
Truth was, I\u2019d never been happier.
And a few nights later, as we snuggled up on the sofa, Jay and I stuck a film on the TV.
The opening titles were just rolling, as Jay\u2019s phone pinged with a text.
Glancing across at his screen, I noticed the name \u2018Claire\u2019 flash up.
I didn\u2019t recognise it, and it certainly wasn\u2019t anyone I knew.
\u2018Who\u2019s that?\u2019 I asked Jay, as he hurriedly snatched his mobile.
\u2018Oh, no one, she\u2019s just a friend,\u2019 he replied, brushing it off.
I didn\u2019t push it, as I chatted to my friends over text all the time.
It\u2019s just that Jay had never mentioned a new friend called Claire before, and I thought I\u2019d seen \u2018I can\u2019t wait to see you\u2019 in her message.
I\u2019d only got a momentary glance at his phone though and tried to tell myself I was being silly and put it behind me.
But I hadn\u2019t been wholly convinced by Jay\u2019s response, and it nagged at me.<\/p>\n

A suspicious text left Alanah wondering what her boyfriend was up to…<\/p>\n
[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.20.4″ _module_preset=”default” custom_padding=”||0px|||” hover_enabled=”0″ global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content” sticky_enabled=”0″]<\/p>\n
So a few nights later, as Jay slept soundly next to me, I decided to take my chance to investigate\u2026
Picking up his phone from the bedside table, I quietly clicked it on and huddled over the dim light.
To my relief, I couldn\u2019t find any incriminating texts from Claire.
I was about to drop it and scold myself for not trusting my fella, when I spotted a message thread between Jay and his best mate.
I scrolled through the usual banter about football and boozing but just then, I stopped dead in my tracks.
Jay was bragging to his pal about having sex with a 37-year-old woman.
I felt sick. She was almost twice his age.
Desperate not to wake Jay, I clutched my hand to my mouth in horror as I stifled a gasp.
\u2018It was scary, she\u2019s not even that fit\u2019, Jay typed cruelly.
But it was when his mate asked if he felt bad for cheating on me, that the most bitter blow hit.
Tears pricked my eyes as I read Jay\u2019s response.
\u2018No, I love seeing the MILF more\u2019, he\u2019d typed.
Staring up at the ceiling, my mind raced.
Jay and I had been together for nearly a year, but these messages went back months.
Had he been cheating all this time?
It was almost too much to bear.
Jay and I were planning to get our own place, while he\u2019d been romping with a floozy who was old enough to be his mum!
Putting Jay\u2019s phone back on the side, I barely slept a wink that night.
I\u2019d just started a new job, and I didn\u2019t want to miss a shift.
So the next morning, I jumped in the shower, got myself ready for work and acted like everything was fine.
Once there though, I punched out a text to Jay.
\u2018We need to talk as soon as I get home\u2019, I wrote.
\u2018What is it now?\u2019 he replied.
I refused to get into a war of words over text, but as soon as I got back from work, I went to Jay\u2019s place and had it out with him.
\u2018I\u2019ve read the messages, I know all about Claire,\u2019 I fumed. \u2018What are you playing at?\u2019
Jay\u2019s face went as white as a sheet, and his voice cracked with emotion as he stumbled over his words.
\u2018I\u2019m sorry,\u2019 he said. \u2018I cheated, but I\u2019m sorry. Forgive me.\u2019
He was clearly upset \u2014 but so was I.
And I wanted answers\u2026
\u2018Tell me everything,\u2019 I demanded.<\/p>\n

Jay was lucky Alanah didn’t make him ‘sleep with the fishes’ after finding he’d cheated<\/p>\n
[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.20.4″ _module_preset=”default” hover_enabled=”0″ global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content” sticky_enabled=”0″]<\/p>\n
I listened in silent shock, as Jay explained he\u2019d met Claire on a night out in the pub with his workmates.
After chatting with her, he\u2019d gone back to her house for sex.
Joining up the dots in my head, I realised that I\u2019d stayed at Jay\u2019s house that night, sleeping in his bed as I waited for him to come home.
When he\u2019d rolled in the next day, he told me he\u2019d slept on his mate\u2019s floor.
Rat!
When Jay confessed that he had gone on to have a six-month affair with the filthy MILF – as he and his pals called her – I was horrified.
\u2018How could you?\u2019 I gasped, tears welling in my eyes now.
I couldn\u2019t stand the sight of Jay and wanted to be anywhere but there in that moment.
But it was late, and I had no way of getting home.
\u2018Please, just stay,\u2019 Jay begged \u2014 and in the end, I gave in.
\u2018I don\u2019t want to be here,\u2019 I said, firmly. \u2028\u2018I don\u2019t know if I can move past this, Jay. I\u2019m leaving first thing in the morning.\u2019
But after I\u2019d drifted off to sleep, Jay woke me in the middle of the night, crying.
I\u2019d never seen him in tears before and seeing his new, vulnerable side made me soften.
He seemed genuinely devastated at the thought of losing me.
And although I was heartbroken, I began to believe that we could get through this.
\u2018I\u2019m obviously going to have trust issues, and if we\u2019re going to continue in this relationship, then we are going to have to set some new rules,\u2019 I said.
\u2018Anything,\u2019 Jay sniffed. \u2018Just let me make it up to you.\u2019
It hasn\u2019t been easy to rebuild the trust between us since then, but Jay has worked really hard at it.
He\u2019s definitely worth it.
Now we have a beautiful six-month-old daughter together.
I love our little family, and Jay knows how close he came to losing it all.
I\u2019ve forgiven him, but I will never forget his fling with that mystery MILF.
It was the mother of all betrayals.<\/p>\n
