I found my husband's secret Reddit account and he’s been posting about wanting to leave me

i know i shouldn't have looked. but he’s been so cold lately. i found his alt account and he has dozens of posts in divorce and relationship advice subreddits. he’s telling strangers that he "doesn't find me attractive anymore" after the kids and that he’s "waiting for the right time" to bail. he’s so sweet to my face, but his post history is full of hate for our life. i feel like i’m living with a predator.

The Breakdown:

• He Said: He’s using Reddit as a "void" to vent his frustrations so he doesn't take them out on her.
• She Said: She’s being ghostlighted. He’s performing a marriage while planning its funeral.

The Science: This is a form of avoidant dismissal. Instead of bringing his "bids for connection" or concerns to his partner, he is seeking external validation for his exit, which prevents any real chance of reconciliation.

The Solution: "I read your posts. You’ve been telling the internet things you should have been telling me. If you’re truly 'waiting for the right time' to leave, the time is now. I’m not going to play a part in a script you’ve already finished writing."
