Husband Marries The Woman Who He Assumed To Be His Wife While Texting

Relationships July, 06, 2025

We are mostly exchanging messages with our friends and family instead of calling them. This sounds perfectly alright to us but, texting can be a cause of “misunderstandings” and the unexpected follows as you’ll see here.

Peter McTaggart, 46, had bought a new phone and while saving his wife’s number, he entered one digit wrong and that led to the events that changed his life after that. However, he wasn’t the only one on that road.

When texting his wife at that time, he didn’t realize his messages were delivered to someone else and not his wife. Mary was receiving his texts and was surprised by getting them continuously from an unknown number. So, she decided to reply to him and make him aware of the situation. Peter apologized on knowing his mistake and if you think that’s how it ended, you are so wrong!

The exchange of texts didn’t stop there. The conversation continued as they both worked at a similar time. From normal discussions, the conversations got deeper and now, they were talking about their life and spouses. Yes, that did escalate quickly!

They had serious discussions about their relationship and felt as if they were sailing in the same boat. Peter confessed about some issues he is experiencing with his wife and so did Mary. They were now forming an emotional connection by supporting each other. It was going a different way!

We all know that such things cannot be hidden for long and that’s what happened here. Peter’s wife found about Mary and Peter could not handle being in such a complicated situation. Mary and her then-husband had parted ways while all this was happening and Peter knew what he had to do next to feel at peace.

Peter wanted to be with Mary and for making it possible, he traveled to Newcastle. Their friendship strengthened and feelings grew! They stayed together for 13 years and when they knew it was love, they tied the knot in 2017. This is how they found their perfect match!

A wrong text can lead you to a new life and this story is proof! Weird or not, it is definitely interesting to know how people find someone who carries the same experiences as them.
