I have a gluten allergy. One night, my ex fell asleep on the couch, and his phone lit up with my roommate’s name. I checked the messages… and that’s how I found out they’d been secretly seeing each other for almost our entire relationship — about 10 months. But the worst part wasn’t even that. In their texts, I discovered he had been putting small amounts of flour into my food on purpose. I’d get sick, take medication, and fall asleep early… and that’s when they would spend time together.
