This happened to me, she flew out to Sweden to meet a fella they’d been “friends” and met online. I thought nothing of it when just after lockdown she wanted to go see her “friend” in Sweden, she came back and a week later I was single. He’d been over without me knowing and they’d met up a dozen plus times. I’m happily now in a relationship with a person who loves and respects me but I never thought I’d get over the betrayal and what I found out later to be controlling and abusive behaviour.
