Learning about a partner’s infidelity can feel like a kick to the gut. It can take the wind out of you, leaving you unable to process what happened for a few minutes. Some describe it as the “deepest pain” they’ve ever felt. 
How you find out is another story, and it can either be an added insult to injury or momentary comic relief because of how stupidly laughable it is. As these TikTok users have shared, it can be a bit of both. 
You’re about to read anecdotes about cheating discoveries through emojis, revelations from the affair partners, and while looking through a food delivery app. Hopefully, you’ve never gone through such traumatic experiences, but if you have, feel free to share them in the comments.
