56 Infidelity Stories So Cruel They Sound Almost Too Awful To Be Real

My wife's great aunt cheated on her husband (in the 60s). She got pregnant from the affair. Her husband and her then reconciled and gave the baby up for adoption and went on to have other children.

50 years pass and the husband who was cheated on passed away. Via an ancestry DNA test, the child (now woman) given up for adoption finds out she has other sisters and brothers.

Turns out she was the biological child of both the husband and wife. The husband died before he found out she was his actual child and she was NOT a product of the affair.

While in the military basic training guy gets a tattoo of his fiance... Yeah.. IYKYK...

Anyhoo - this guy gets "the letter" from her breaking up with him because he's never around.. blah blah..

In the same mail call he gets a letter from his best friend back home saying his girl is cheating on him with his uncle. So he calls the uncle who denies it and says she's cheating on him with his own dad... So he calls his dad and tears into him and his dad denies cheating and says she is actually cheating on him with his best friend... Who wrote the original letter

Turns out she was hooking up with all of them and the best friend got jealous and ratted out his uncle...

I was in the car (big pickup, the guy was kind of a jerk) in Austin going west on 290 where it joins I-35 South on a flyover. My friend-of-friend was driving. We start to descend, and he sees his wife's car ahead of him as we merge. He pulls up beside her and waves.  

In the car is her personal trainer riding next to her with his hand on her knee. She was supposed to be at her mom's.

Many years ago I worked with a guy who told me he was sleeping with his wife's younger sister.

When I asked him why the hell he would do that, his answer was simple.

"She does everything my wife won't do."

Those blokes who manage to have an entire second family in another town. I can barely keep track of one group chat and these jerks are remembering two wedding anniversaries.

When i was a nurse, we had these coworkers who were best friends. They lived right down the street from each other, their kids were friends, they were always together at work. One was married, one was a single mom. Turns out that on nights where married woman was working and single mom wasn't, single mom was carrying on an affair with the husband. She would check in on how busy the unit was to try to keep track if anyone would be sent home early.

It kind of blew up when it came out. Single mom moved to day shift but ended up leaving altogether shortly after because she got ostracized so hard. The married couple stayed together last i heard.

ETA: Stop using this story to trash nurses. The husband was not a nurse and also cheated. Honestly, we were so busy that it was rare to even have any relationships between staff, let alone torrid Grey's Anatomy-style affairs. There's cheating jerks in every profession (see: stereotypical man banging his secretary trope).

My coworker just recently left his wife for his affair partner and they're currently going through a pretty messy divorce. All of them are in their 50s and my coworker was married for like 20+ years and I'm pretty sure they have at least one kid.

The thing is, his affair partner was his high school sweetheart before he even met his wife. He considered her "the one that got away." At some point, they reunited as adults and started an affair. And as I understand it, the wife knew about it. My coworker was openly going on dates with this other woman about once a month, swearing up and down that it wasn't an affair and they were just friends, but everyone in their lives knew about it. He was basically cucking his wife for years.

Recently, he decided to finally leave his wife for this other woman, and he can't stop gloating about it. He's constantly talking about how happy he his that he can finally be with the woman he loves, and gushing about how beautiful she is.

According to my coworker, his wife basically was just going to let the divorce happen quickly and quietly, but now she's making more noise and putting up more of a fight. There have been incidents like she superglued the keyhole on his truck door shut and glued the door handles shut. He had to call in tardy to work. She then came to his workplace and drove around the parking lot honking her horn with posters taped onto her car that called him out for being a cheater and called his affair partner some bad words.

And the funniest thing is that my coworker is flabbergasted why she would do such a thing. He says that the divorce was going to be amicable, then, "someone told her how much she could get out of me, so now she's trying to take me for everything she can." Throughout this whole process, he doesn't even seem to get the fact that he's being a heartless jerk and everyone thinks he's a piece of trash and deserves everything he gets.

Was stationed in the Philippines early 80’s. A married co worker was in a house of ill repute and caught the clap from some hostess. Once he realized he had it, he went to the local pharmacist and got a shot for himself and one he intended to administer to his wife, along with a numbing solution. (Bad Idea) He waited until she was asleep took a gauze pad and applied the solution to her bum and injected the shot. What he didn’t consider was that the solution was topical. She obviously woke up, rolled to the side, snapped the needle and began bleeding all over the bed

There was NO possibility to calmly explain the situation. They obviously ended their relationship in court.

Years ago, around my early 20s, there was this guy in my friend group. I didn't know him that well and I never hung with him on my own. But he would sometimes be at the social events I would attend due to mutual acquaintances.

He starter dating this girl. I don't know if they were properly official just yet. But everyone knew they were talking and that they were into each other.

One night, after a heavy drinking session, he got absolutely wasted. She didn't drink because she was driving, so she gave him a lift him. Because he was practically paralletic in the car, she had to knock on the door the get his dad to help him into the house. This would be the first time she met his dad. After helping him to bed, her and the dad went into the living to have a chat and get to know each other. His dad was single and was known to be a bit of a ladies man who dated a string of younger women.

Anyway, she ended up sleeping with the dad that night while my friend was passed out in his bed.

I have a rather bad cheating story concerning myself. I had just finished major cancer treatment, dose dense chemo and was cleared for a small trip from my doctor, but my immune system was still not completely healed.

My partner was utterly verbally and psychologically hurtful towards me while I was on this trip to thank my girlfriends for helping so much while I am was in treatment (he did not go to one single chemo session).

I thought maybe this was related to the horrible experience of possibly losing me. At any rate, I get back, he is super apologetic, we have unprotected intercourse (I have an IUD) and then right after he tells me that he picked up some random girl in the parking lot of a skanky bar, slept with her and feels horrible about it. He wanted me to comfort him...

So, he had unprotected intercourse with me after cheating on me when my immune system was compromised. My doctor was not very happy about it, had to have all the testing, of course.

Worst I’ve heard from people I actually know:

Couple is engaged, wedding is in one week. Bride-to-be is 2 months pregnant, but very few people know and she doesn’t want it announced before the wedding.

Groom-to-be and his friends rent a house in Vegas for his bachelor party weekend. Groom ends up having unprotected intercourse with a dance on a pool table in the rented house, while his friends all cheered him on and videoed the whole thing.

Groom obviously wants to keep this hush-hush and doesn’t come clean when he gets home to the Bride. The wedding goes off without anyone being the wiser. Apparently, some of the friends start talking and their significant others find out. The ladies tell the Bride and she sees the video; there’s no denying it.

She kicks the Groom out; she has the baby a few months later. Bride then finds out, shortly after giving birth, that the adult dancer was also pregnant by her estranged husband.

Husband begged for years for the wife to get back together, but it was a hard no. Now he has two teenage kids, born around 2 months apart, to 2 different women, in 2 different states. Still alone, and paying child support. Wife is remarried with a couple more kids, and a loving husband. Don’t know what happened to the dancer.

This really should have been made into a movie by now.

My wife's first husband left her on Christmas eve for a woman half a block down the street. She had no clue, then he was gone. I'm thankful to him, otherwise she would not have been with me for the last 38 years.

When an ex boyfriend of mine was growing up, his dad introduced a woman to their family (so him, his four siblings, and his mother) as his long lost sister. I can't remember what the back story was but whatever it was it was believable with whatever family history they had going on...either way, this woman went to Church with them nearly every Sunday, was at their dinner table for all major Holidays, and in family pictures...the whole 9...and then when my ex (the youngest of his siblings) graduated high-school his dad literally broke the news to his mom and him and his siblings that this woman was in fact his affair partner. And that he would be divorcing his mom to marry this other woman...which he absolutely did in no time at all (they are still together to this day)... nearly ripped the whole family apart...literally just everyone was at each other's throats. Took years for siblings to evern think about sitting at the same table together and they spent many years celebrating the holidays without either parent because it was just too much. Very very sad. Worst story for sure and I'll never forget it.

There was this pretty famous case where a dude ended up sleeping with a p**n star while his wife was home taking care of their newborn, Then, to keep things quiet he paid the p**n star hush money so it wouldn't affect his campaign. Huge creeper...

My dad used to work with a truck driver who had three kids with his wife. They wanted a fourth child, but no matter how hard they tried, she just couldn’t get pregnant.

Eventually, they decided to see a doctor and get some tests done.

The results revealed something rather shocking: the truck driver was completely infertile. According to the doctor, he had been infertile his entire life and was biologically incapable of fathering children.

The man had been raising three kids, believing they were his own.

You can imagine how that conversation at home must have gone.

My Great Aunt stepped off a ferry in the middle of the sea at night after she found out the man she had 2 kids with was living a double life and was already married.

Guy in [country 1] says goodbye to his wife to go to choir practice. Does not come home. Texts his wife he has been "abducted by criminals on their way to [country 2] in his car" and not to call the police. She of course does. Police in [country 1] notify police in [country 2]. 

After one and a half day they find him. He tells them a story about the abduction. Police takes him very seriously and checks out every detail of his story. He tells them "he thinks they stopped at a gas station at so and so". When they check the camera footage they see him walking in with a smile. 

Turns out he decided this was a fireproof way to nail someone else he met online without his wife knowing. The justice system in [country 2] was not amused. He had to appear in court, pleaded temporary insanity, got a relative slap on the wrist but he was really sweating it until then because jail was an option.

I know this because he is part of my extended family. Would not have believed this otherwise... His wife died a thousand deaths because he went on a deranged perversion of a booty call. 

Justice was kind of served. Lost his wife, lost his family, lost his credibility. Unfortunately he is too self absorbed to really care.

My dad had an affair while my mom was pregnant and named my sister after his lover. Mom didn’t find out until way later.

My great grandfather cheated on my great grandmother while GGM was pregnant with my grandmother. The woman he cheated with? GGM's sister.

And he got her pregnant too. Then both babies were given the same name and brought up in the same house.

He also hooked up with a dozen or more women in other villages. He was the first and only bus driver in that very rural part of his country, and "Want to go for a ride in the bus?" turned out to be a very effective pickup line at the time.

I'm not sure it's the worst, but definitely the saddest I've ever seen.

When I was still a fairly young married man, there was another young couple at church, good looking guy, pretty and sweet wife, two cute girls... His family was pretty well off, and helped them with a down payment on a nice new big house, new truck and boat, all that stuff that can make a person jealous. He decided to have an extended secret affair with a co-worker and when his wife found out she tried, but just couldn't get over it. He wound up in a ratty apartment, paying a boatload of child support.
