What a tangled web we weave when we conspire to deceive. Many cheaters will do whatever it takes to to cover their dirty tracks. Some get away with it. Others come clean...
Then there are those who never meant to get caught, but thanks to an unexpected and probably unwanted "accident," all their proverbial skeletons come tumbling out of the closet. Maybe they left a voicenote on their partner's phone by mistake, revealing things meant for another's ears. Perhaps the side piece wants to be the main dish so they spill the beans. However it happens, drama is sure to follow.
People have been sharing the ways they accidentally found out their SO was cheating, and many of the stories are proof that the truth does eventually prevail. Bored Panda has put together a list of the best tales of cheaters caught with their pants down, or otherwise compromised. Let us know which ones hit close to home by tapping the upvote button.

My co worker told me he saw her being carried to her car at 4am by another co worker of mine. She left this part of the story out when she stumbled home drunk that night. Confronted her, she confessed they made out.
Fast forward to present day and I’m still trying to recover from what she did to me. After this “kiss” she kept going with him and eventually slept with him twice. She told me both times. I literally had to walk into my apartment one day to find her in bed with him. I quit my job (we all worked together) and we broke up finally. That was three months ago. I’m still messed up. She was my best friend and all of a sudden set out to destroy me.

She tried to silent her phone when I called, but I guess she accepted it instead... I heard her banging a dude loudly over the phone.

After she left. She left her laptop, because she took the car. One day, I was bored, I used some app to decrypt skype message history.
For the last six months or so of our relationship, she made plans, to move with her next boyfriend. Love words, pictures, projects, a two year long flirt, everything was there. What they'd done when they met for week-long work-conference. She helped him choose their future appartment, she even moved to the other side of the earth, choosing a bad post-doctorate, just to be with him. Lines after lines of betrayal, hours of reading material.

The guy she cheated on with was a real bro and when he found out she did in fact have a boyfriend, messaged me saying that she cheated on me and he was sorry and she had told him she didn't have a boyfriend. When I confronted her about it, she denied it for about 30 seconds before starting to cry and admitting to everything.

Ultimately didn't find out until after the divorce, but a very close friend of hers confided to me. I still haven't mentioned anything to anyone. Even her. Just decided to finally move on.

My brother told me she asked to see his privates so he actually showed her. Easiest breakup I ever experienced. Brother got a light beat down by our dad which helped (teenager at the time).

She asked me to check her email for a phone number she needed. I ran across emails to and from her “soulmate,” sent and received while on vacation with our kids on Florida. I then understood all the poolside work she had to do while I played with our children in the pool not ten feet away.
I divorced her and remarried the mythical second wife, best choice ever. She remarried the follow up to her soulmate, who by every sign is a closeted gay man, not that there’s anything wrong with that. She continues to flat out lie, personally and professionally, to achieve her goals. Our youngest child is almost 18 and the gravy train called child support nears an end. The closeted gay man is in for the life of debt I escaped because she loves to spend.

Her friend told me out of spite in an effort to break my heart because she hated me for being atheist. Turned out to be one of the nicest things someone has ever done for me, but forever skewed my concept of what makes a "good" christian.

Had to poo one day while making a delivery near her apartment. Apartment doors all faced the inside courtyard so I parked, ran around front, knocked, told her AI had to use her bathroom. Did my business, kissed her, told her I'd call her later. Got back in the delivery van, my coworker pointed and asked "Is that her window?". I said it was, he just replied "That guy leaving in the Pontiac just came out of her window ".

I walked into the living room to find her passed out drunk on the couch with her phone in her hand. On the screen was the other guy, shirtless and in bed, skype.
I told her to leave, she left 2 days later. Told me she was going to her mom's.
She didn't go to her mom's.
Funny part is, we had been together for 8 years, she never worked a day and I didn't mind, I had enough for both of us. My credit's bad so all of our assets were in her name.
I stopped paying for her car, her insurance and her house.
Let's see that weenie you left me for do that by selling ink cartridges.

A receipt for flowers I never received, a short cut to a part of town that only local residents know and he wasn't from here, and someone at a dinner party asked him where she was as if they expected them together. That's the reverse order. The final blow was the receipt for flowers. That was 12 years ago. I guess it sticks with you.

She had an iPhone and Macbook Air. They were synchronized and she had an problem with her Macbook.
I swear to god I opened the iMessage app on her Macbook by accident, wanted to click the icon next to it. But it immediately opened to a very suggestive conversation with some guy.
I only read 3 or 4 lines. I literally couldn't read more, I was about to marry her in 3 months. Then shut the laptop, walked up to her and bluffed I read everything. She broke down and confessed.

Not me, but this happened to a client at the law firm I was interning at. She was filing for divorce on the ground of adultery. This is how she caught him:
- Wife (client)’s phone stops working one day. They go to the store to buy a new phone.
- Husband likes the phones on display a little too much. He suggests that she take his current phone as he is in need of an upgrade.
- Wife doesn’t mind and agrees.
- Husband buys new phone and hands over his old phone without logging out of his WhatsApp.
- Wife goes home and tries to use WhatsApp, and sees all the texts and pictures exchanged between him and his lover.
- Boom. Divorce.
None of this would have happened if he had just gotten her a new phone (of course he shouldn’t have cheated in the first place). During the divorce proceedings (in his written reply), he mentioned that he handed over the phone to his wife without erasing anything because he trusted her and that she by going through his texts, had broken his trust.
