35 People Who Caught Their Partners Cheating Share How They Reacted

My ex and I used to share a computer. She was getting messages from her first boyfriend. I didn’t bother reading them, because I figured he was just saying hi or wanted to know where she was in life now.

A couple of months later, I’m on the computer, and she insisted that she log out while I’m there. Okay. Things feel weird here.

Another couple of days pass, and she wants to visit her parents. Okay cool. I keep the kids and she goes off.

I get a call from one of my buddies who works at a hotel where my ex and I are both from saying my wife just checked in with another guy.

So long story short, divorced her.

F-k you Stefanie.—u/rabidoverlord

I had my suspicions but it was her who ended up telling me. I went into the relationship thinking “wow, I don’t deserve this girl, way out of my league.” She couldn’t help but remind me how much better he was several times and made sure to rub it in my face.

My reaction was a spiral into deep depression. For someone that has very low self-esteem being cheated on is one of the worst feelings. It feels like it confirms all your worst thoughts about yourself.—u/silent_tech_man

Back then Facebook used to display on your profile stuff like “dontsayaword2 liked a photo” and everything you did. I noticed he liked a photo of a girl that seemed to be someone he had recently added. So I checked her profile and she was one of those girls who think “they won” because men cheat on their partners with them. She had everything public, photos with him, bragging about the texts they exchanged etc.

So I engineered a way to befriend her roommate, I would then find out she was bringing other dudes home besides my boyfriend and when I confronted him I also let him know about who else she was sleeping with and for him to get an STD test.—u/dontsayaword2

June 1, 2018. Normal day. A Friday. My husband had kissed me goodbye and gone to work. I was cleaning the house for company who was coming to stay the weekend. The doorbell rang. There was a man at my door who introduced himself as the husband of a woman who my husband worked with. He was there to tell me that my husband and his wife were having an affair. He had busted them about six months prior and had told his wife that she had to end the affair. He thinks that she did end it…for about three months, but then they started up again.

When he found out they were at it again, he called my husband (because he knew if he confronted him in person, he’d be in a jail cell for what he’d have done). On the phone, he told my husband to leave his wife alone or else he would come and tell me everything that was happening. Apparently, my husband thought that he was bluffing.

So I was literally the last to know. My husband never came home again. He got an air b’n’b and a lawyer. The divorce was December 21, 2018. We had been together for 24 years. Still hurts.—u/headcase-and-a-half

I caught my ex husband cheating as an accident, we had gone to work in the evening and I couldn’t get into my office due to a building screw up, so he let me in his so I could print something.

He went for a walk to get his “steps” in. As I was on his computer I realised it was logged in to Facebook. I just had a feeling.

I looked in the messages and he had been chatting with a woman he met in another country via our work.

I copied all I could and confronted him when he returned, made him take me for a drink and told him there would be no reconciliation. He was shell shocked and I told him to go home and pack a bag. That was 6 months ago and I’m really happy to have lost the dead weight.—u/throwawatodayjuly20

Ex-wife actually asked me for her blessing to commit adultery with another married man. She was shocked when I said I don’t support it, she went ballistic (has severe mental health issues), went and did it anyway and ended up in a psych ward.

2 marriages ended and now the two cheaters are engaged. Little devastated at first. Blessing in disguise.—u/thewiz187

I had come home from a 5 month cruise. My GF at the time was a court stenographer. So when she wasn’t at the pier I figured she had a case or was catching up on transcripts. So I got a ride from my friend to see unfamiliar BMW in my driveway. I walk in to see her blowing some stranger on my couch.

Keep in mind this was my house not hers. I didn’t say a word to her. I just started grabbing her sh—t and throwing it in the front yard and called her father to come pick her up because her car was an old Quattro and in the shop…again.

And up to that point I was letting her drive mine until it was fixed. I will not bore you with the drama but she was taken by the MA’s (Master At Arms, Navy base cops—I lived in base housing) instead of her dad.—u/wisawanik218

This first started back in December right before we went on a holiday trip to see my family. She started acting somewhat off, kinda distant, and easily aggravated. I had a suspicion that something was going on and I’m embarrassed to admit that I snooped on her iwatch. Found some incriminating texts she had with a friend, so I confronted her in January.

She tells me that she kissed a guy that she works with and that was it. We were having some issues in our relationship and I choose to forgive her and we decided to try working on some of the issues we were having.

Well, fast forward to this past May…she breaks down that she wasn’t honest with me and that she had actually f-ked this other dude. We split after the news.

We had been together 8 years and had been engaged for almost 2 years.

Our wedding date was suppose to be f-king yesterday.

It’s still f-king killing me. I don’t even know where to go from here. 2020 can go eat a dick.—u/randyjohnsons

I didn’t catch her, she told me and told me I wasn’t a real man and that’s why she did it. She just told me everything she hated about me, went on to why I’m worthless pulled over, kicked me out the car and I had to walk back to my place. As far as my reaction went. I went home, cried, went to bed, stayed in bed for a few days, thought I was a terrible person for a few weeks, cut my holiday leave short and went back to work early to get my mind off things.—u/Charming-Trashboi

Worst one I know of is an acquaintance of mine, came home from work one day and found his missus having sex with his dad.

That blew up all over Facebook, and became a local drama fest where people tried to organise a shunning of the dad and missus.

I remember it well because, well… I know people cheat, but with your partners father? Come on…—u/OdaNova
