The original poster (OP) is facing the likely end of her marriage due to her husband's disrespectful workplace communication regarding their s*x life, coupled with her reaction of exposing those communications to management.
The central conflict lies between the OP's justified anger and feeling of betrayal over the demeaning texts and her husband's insistence that her actions (snooping and reporting) were a severe overstep that ruined his professional standing.
Considering the husband's lack of accountability for the insulting texts versus the professional repercussions faced by the OP for exposing them, is the OP's choice to report the misconduct, despite the personal relationship consequences, a necessary action to enforce professional and personal boundaries, or did her m**hod of exposure go too far in a situation that should have been handled privately?
