Two pairs of bare feet sticking out from under a blanket on a bed, related to catching cheating on Spotify.
She was so absolutely, utterly shamelessly having an affair with her roommate while in a 5+ year long distance relationship with me. It happend for more than a year and was so bad her best friend basically straight up told me when I asked.
For the whole year I planned to move to her city which I did just before finding out.

I found out literally hours ago, didn't get any sleep tonight and am currently waiting for her to wake up / go online on Whatsapp so I can pick up my stuff and never see her again

Edit: Since this comment blew up, I'm pretty sure she also read this. The coworker I headed out for drinks with definitely did lmao.

He came with me to pick up his “friend” at a train station. She got in my car and said what a good friend I was to pick her up for their date.

I told her I was actually his girlfriend, dropped them off, informed him that his head was shaped like a lightbulb, and drove home. Never spoke to him again.

Thankfully that was a short lived relationship anyway, so not only did I dodge a bullet, I wasn’t even that upset about it.

This was about 22 years ago.. Hope they had many bulbous-headed children.

(I’ve been with my husband now for almost 18 years, we have one kid, and honestly hope that dude grew out of being an idiot.).

I was working out of town, she decided this was a good time to hook up with one of her ex’s. We just started living together but she still was on here previous lease. Her roommate, a mutual friend, created an anonymous FB account and told me what was going on. I was positive who was telling me but never said anything to either of them about the anonymous tip. I just pressed my girlfriend until she came clean, basically by saying, “I can tell something is off and you need to tell me what it is.”.

This pisses me off because I had an ex do this to me AND I DIDNT DO ANYTHING
For months id find my phone in a different position when I came back from the shower. For months she’d ask pointed narrow questions about who I was with and where when I was out with friends. She tell me something is off and to just tell her. Over and over. It was exhausting.
Well guess who was cheating? And it wasn’t me!

The girl he cheated on me with bragged about it to me. She was my classmate during my grad and his supposed stalker (as he put it).

I was watching TV with him when someone called. I could hear their tone, but not the words. The tone told me they were stressed and feeling insecure. He answered by saying 'hey, hold on a mo' and then muted his phone, said 'i'm at my girlfriends house' unmuted. Did that like three times while the girl on the line was like huh? And I, sitting right next to him was like what.

He got off the line, when I asked him about it he was adamant it was nothing. He even said I could call back if I wanted. I wish I hadn't. I call her back, tell her I was just checking what's going on, I'm his girlfriend. She freaks out. He freaks out. I spend the whole night comforting his fake tears while he fields calls from her.

Never again..

Bearded man wearing a red cap and green jacket in a dimly lit parking garage, representing caught cheating stories.
Overhearing her friend gas her up about infidelity, over working on our marriage. I had some suspicions, but was still holding out that she was innocent and just had these guys throwing themselves at her.

Guy she cheated on me with, I'd met several times. He cried talking with me at the bar she was working, thanking me for being there for him. The whole time he had been hitting on my wife and testing her boundaries.

He did call it right tho!

Worked at a bar in the summers when I was home from college just to make some extra money for when I went back to school. Saw a lot of this.
One bartender was a chick. Her boyfriend would always pick her up at the end of her shift. One night a patron who was spending a lot of time with her asked her when she got off work. She texted her boyfriend that she wouldn’t need a ride home that night, she was going to crash at a (female) coworker’s place. Went home with the patron. Came in the next day bragging to all of us about how she cheated on her boyfriend. She was trash.
Second one was the male bar manager. His girlfriend would always come in to work and hang around, mostly because she didn’t trust him and wanted to make sure he wasn’t cheating. A lot of people would make her feel like she was being overly untrusting, she shouldn’t be showing up at his work, etc. etc. just shaming her for being overly untrusting and clingy. So eventually she stopped coming. She decided everyone was right, and she should just trust her partner. Every single night she didn’t show up, he cheated. Without fail.

I have an ex that does this. She did it before becoming a bartender as well. But I went to my friends house to play music one night. His roommate found out I was in a relationship with this now bartender like 8 years ago. He got all weird and asked if I slept with her, I said yeah a long time ago we were a couple.
Dude told me she leaves the bar to cheat weekly after shifts, her new fiancé was picking her up from the guys houses and believed she was just drunk after her shift sleeping on a friends couch. Funny thing is when I met her, she told me she had a BF 6 weeks in! Then kept telling me he was toxic and leaving him but stuck and was leaving..she dragged me with that for a bit.
The guy telling me all this said, it’s been her thing for years and the entire town knew about it. I had since moved away but wondered if she was still doing all that. 5 kids by 27, a husband several fiancés post divorce that ended up in cheating and she still complains online about being single. Some people aren’t meant to be in relationships.
It was funny to me because 8 years had passed. She was still doing the sleeping at guys houses, telling them she’s single and having the bf pick her up. She pretty much pulled the same on me! It was her way of bouncing to the next guy and getting settled in months before leaving the last guy. Only on a wide scale habitually. She grew up poor and didn’t have housing a lot, so she used that as well to eat and have a house over her head.

Young woman sitting on couch looking stressed and upset, reflecting on stories about catching exes cheating on Spotify.
We shared our locations on our phones for years. When things started sharply going downhill I started looking at his location more often. Saw that he was at the same unknown place every Friday night while I was at work (I’m a bartender). I was too afraid to confront him about it at the time bc I was scared/tired of being blown up at over every little thing, and didn’t have DIRECT evidence (also in denial). We broke up without that being mentioned in the breakup. But the night of our split, my close friend looked up voter registration records for that street he was going to and sent me the names of people on that block. Figured out who it was immediately (she was a friend of his I met through him years before). It was very satisfying confronting him about it and calling him a coward.

The women reached out to me by text. Directly asked if I was seeing dude. I was hesitant and knew I didn’t want to converse with her about details about me or my relationship with dude. She openly spoke about them. I only asked what did he cook for you? Some items lined up. Timeframe? Did he go a trip with family? Yes, the destination matched what he told me. Have you met family? She, no. I have. She then says I wish I didn’t give him a set of pans. And that’s was all the confirmation I needed becuase I used those pans two weeks before she reached out. I remember asking him how he got the pans and he said off marketplace. I asked casually, the way he answered felt off then (2 weeks before). Thanked her and never contacted her again. Broke up with him by text. I don’t think he knew the pans was the evidence unless she told him.

A friend’s boyfriend of 6 years moved abroad to play hockey for a season, but never broke up with her as he was “coming back”, which we sincerely believed because he left his MacBook and some other items with her. One day she is on the MacBook and a whole lot of photos sync from his iPhone.… all of which are him making out with a girl he’d clearly met abroad.

We were checking some emails together in his phone. His email search history had 'hinge' on it. I didn't prod on it much (shock ig), but he knew I saw it and came clean.
