We been married for 5 years and we have two kids, I’ve had enough cause he don’t listen to me instead he stays on the phone talking to these emotional bitches, I’m so upset & hurt, I added some of these girls to my Facebook friends do I can find out more about their intentions but they decline my friend request, I told my husbad about it, he said maybe they are scared of me!!!
