Woman Says Husband Has Become ‘Unrecognizable’ Since Wedding, ‘Flirting’ with Other Women and Criticizing Her

A woman says her husband has “become unrecognizable” since their wedding, leaving her uncertain about the future of their marriage.

On Reddit, she explained that she and her husband, both 27, “got married this past year.” But shortly after the wedding, she noticed unsettling changes in his behavior.

“For instance, while on our honeymoon he blatantly flirted with a waitress in front of me,” she wrote. “Never before had he crossed a boundary like that — let alone on our honeymoon.”

Initially, she doubted herself and wondered if she was overreacting. But when her husband insisted they return to the same bar the next day specifically to see that waitress again, she says her suspicions were confirmed.

The woman waited a few days before confronting him. When she did, he became flustered but ultimately admitted to the flirting. “I was shocked. I decided not to be mad, but to keep it in the back of my mind, maybe it was a weird one-off thing?” she recalled.

Months later, however, she says the behavior resurfaced. While they were out at a bar, her husband began flirting with another waitress “right in front of me.” When she confronted him in the moment, he denied it — then followed up by insulting her. “I spent the rest of the night crying in the bathroom,” she shared.

On top of his flirtatious behavior, she says life at home has also changed. She feels she handles most responsibilities alone, and he only helps when asked. He has also started making comments about her body and diet, an issue she’s always struggled with.

At her mother’s birthday gathering, she recalls, he loudly asked, “Are you really getting a snack?” in front of her family. Her mother immediately scolded him, reminding him she was free to eat whatever she wanted. Despite being corrected, he made another similar remark just days later.

“He never before has made comments about what I’ve eaten or when or how much,” she noted, adding that these changes have left her unhappy and disconnected.

The woman says she no longer feels they share a friendship — let alone a romantic bond. “I do not recognize him anymore,” she concluded, turning to others for advice on what to do next.
