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.

Which time? Haha. It’s sad really. The first time, I got this really intense feeling while we were making out, like a panic response. I left immediately and he had left his cell phone in my car. This was before passcodes so I found a lot of incriminating texts and videos. The second time, I found long blonde hairs on his carpet. I’m brunette.

By trying to have a friendly conversation with her now boyfriend (we were friendly acquintances at the time). Was asking him how things were and he mentioned offhandedly that he and my ex had been dating for three weeks.
Furious at my discovery, I called my ex immediately to get the closure I deserved. Lacking any form of compassion for a man who just had his heart ripped out, he advised me not to do it because she had a big exam the next day, to which I said "no, f that" (when I had a big exam, she kept me up all night saying she was going to end herself). He then proceeded to call me a child for not waiting for her to complete her exam before calling her to talk about it and that I was getting too upset.
Her grade tanked and they both blamed me for causing her emotional distress.
To top it all off, this was about a week after we had a big fight where she essentially told me that I wasn't good enough for her anymore. Oh the irony.
EDIT: Since this post got bigger than I ever expected it to, I'd like to clarify that the parts where..
-He called me a child
-She told me her grade had tanked
-They blamed me for it
Were all told to me by my ex girlfriend. Whether these statements are true or not is not something I have the answer to, this is just my understanding of the event. I apologize to the person in question and they are welcome to message me privately so we can work it out.

Finally something I can share. Was in a relationship for 5 years with someone. I came back from a business trip and went over to her place. I was away for around 2 months.
So yeah. She was in the toilet. My phone turned off and I decided to play with her phone till she came out. Was gaming on it when she got a text from someone. So yeah. I read it. And some more. And some more. Then I found the pictures...
Basically she was cheating on me with some guy she met when I had left.
She came out and asked me what was wrong. I got up and left before I could do anything I would regret. Yeah. Cooled down. Came back. Broke things off and left.
Messed up part is I had wedding rings in my pocket. I was going to propose that night..

So one day, I’m scrolling TikTok. I like longer videos of people talking and I scroll onto a video of a girl talking about her dating life. I liked the video and even commented agreeing with her (relevant later).
I guess because I interacted with her video I started getting all of her new videos. I would like them if I thought they were funny but that was it. She’s not famous or anything, a handful of followers but she posts little story times. One day, I notice there’s a little badge that says “friends with (my bf)” on her video. I thought it was really weird considering she only had 10 followers. I asked him about it and he said she followed him so he just followed her back. We obviously fought over that but the girl does live in our city and my boyfriend posts a lot of gym content so it was plausible that she found his account and followed him first.
Months pass, and I get the dreaded “hey girl” message from her. She explained that she thought I knew because of my passive aggressive comment on her video, but my boyfriend had broken up with her and told her I didn’t know so she decided to tell me.
The video was her talking about men choosing stable choices instead of her (the fun choice) and just being frustrated about always being second. I just commented something like “you’ll find your person” so I now see how that came off as passive aggressive had I known they were hooking up.
Edit because this got way more attention than I thought! He is obviously an ex, and has been since that situation 2 years ago! I have not spoken to either of them at all since the day I found out.

He was unpacking and telling me about a work trip when an opened box of condoms in his suitcase caught my eye. We were literally trying to get pregnant — so condoms were unnecessary for him.
The next day, I checked his iPad while he was at work, and he had been doing it for about a year, with lots of different people.

Found an email asking for a BJ from a gal when he was in the area for work. They would meet on a dirt road off the main road. He literally had white magnetic cover ups for the logo on his work truck.

Hair of the other guy on my pillow. Found it early one morning, and picked it up and went 'hey, whose is this? Tony's?" and it was.

I had a dream I looked at his iPad and he had been speaking to his ex on fb messenger and met up. Woke up, checked his iPad and it was true. Hate dreaming about bad stuff now.

She wanted to show me a picture on her phone and I accidentally saw a picture of her doing snow. I started questioning her because we were clean for about a year at that point, and after a few hours she finally admitted she went to a rave and spent the night at some guys place while I was away.
The funny thing is that she was the one the one who wanted us to lay off that stuff in the first place.
Yeah I’m a guy, sorry for invading your space. I’m lurking here so I can be a better boyfriend.

He accidentally texted me, instead of her, arranging the details on spending the night with her while I was home with our 6-month-old son... Yea, divorce quickly followed.

On our 2 year anniversary he took us to get a couples massage and then some tea. He was going to post a picture of the tea on his Snapchat story when I saw he had a private story that I have never seen. I wasn’t in that private story, I asked if he had girls on that story and he said yes. But he didn’t have me.. later that night he took a picture of me to post on his Snapchat story. Since earlier he hid the private story to me. I asked to see his story settings. He was hiding his main story from one girl… to hid the fact that we were dating and it was our 2 year anniversary.

Her best friend called me and told me, so I did the only logical thing and slept with her too.
