A woman claims she decided to divorce her husband after finding out the secret nickname he called her to his friends.
The wife said she knew she had to end their marriage after she read messages talking about her on her husband's phone. Writing anonymously to the female lifestyle website Mamamia, she expressed: "From the moment our son was born, nothing changed for my husband. He absolutely hated telling me what his plans were."
The mum went on to say her marriage had changed since their son was born, claiming her husband had a "stubborn reluctance to tell us when he was going to participate in our lives", reports the Mirror.
One morning, when the man was in the shower, the woman looked at his phone after hearing it 'pinging' incessantly.
She said she checked to see if there was anything urgent, but instead found a group message with his mates organising a 'do over' of the night before.
Her husband had been out until midnight - presumably drinking - and went straight to the shower in the morning without speaking to his wife or baby. But that hadn't been what surprised her.
She recalls reading a text saying he couldn't make the drinks because "SWMBO will say no". Bemused and irritated he had blamed his absence on her, she confronted him about it and he casually replied: "It means 'She Who Must Be Obeyed'". Furious, she wrote: "It wasn't a matter of 'obeying' me ... It's not called 'asking permission' like he's a teenager and I'm his mother.
"It's called respect for your family. After five years of marriage, this is what I'd become to him." Despite being married for five years and together for a decade, she says she knew she had to walk away from their relationship - as he no longer valued her.
