49 Times People Didn’t Get Away With Cheating

Came home from deployment, some dude was living in my house.

Started with my kid saying “I don’t want a new daddy, I love this daddy” to me when tucking her in one night. I then dug around and found it all out.

Neighbors told me.

Got an fb message from a friend that started with, “Please don’t hate me but…” She proceeded to tell me my boyfriend who I had been dating on and off for two years was dating her other friend. She realized it was the same guy when I posted pics of us on vacation.

He had always been super weird about me not tagging him in pics—i forget what cockamamie excuse he gave at the time as this was 15ish years ago. Of course I thanked my friend and told her please tell the other woman I’m not mad and she can call me ASAP.

Phone rang 2 min later and we instantly aligned with one other and compared notes on the lying liar. He of course told both of us the other one was crazy and stalking him. We both kicked him to the curb and have stayed friendly to this day.

He asked our 21yo daughter to help him with an email. When she started typing in the recipient name other emails with the same name popped up. She noticed some were replies to a post on a dating site.

Later she looked in his browser history and multiple adult companion sites. She told me and I looked at his bank accounts - we’ve always kept them separate but I have his passwords - and found cash withdrawals of $600-$1000 per week. Phone records showed hundreds of texts and calls to adult companions.

Confronted him and he admitted to all of it but didn’t apologize for the lying or cheating. Suggested marriage counseling. I filed for divorce.

She went through my phone. She didn’t find anything incriminating but I wondered where her paranoia came from and started to pay attention to her behavior with her own phone. And it all unraveled.

The girl purposely hid her lipstick in his car so I could find it🥲💔.

Was on a FaceTime with her mother showing off our newborn when the messages started popping up on the ipad.

Cell phone went from no password and left everywhere and constantly asking me to check it for her, to locked screen, no notification sounds, and her getting out of the shower midway because she "accidentally left her phone away from her". initially thought this was just an odd change.

At the same time, she started texting me to get the kids from the babysitter after I was done working, because she "had an appointment". I don't get done with work for 3 hours after her, and at a time of day that Dr appointments no longer happen.

Proof came when she saved intimate pictures of them that uploaded to google photos on our computer that I had the log in too.

He told me. After he’d fathered a child with a one night stand. I didn’t find out until the baby was a year old and he was being sued for child support. I left him the next day.

He just ghosted me after a year and a half. I called my best friend of 20 years sobbing, the girl I met at 6 and went through every phase of childhood to adulthood with.

And she didn't pick up. Or return my call. Day 3, I sat up electrified. It was her. Drove to his house and there was her car.

Men are abundant and he's of low value. So I wasn't missing a cheating piece of work. But there's no replacing a best friend from childhood and the betrayal was compounded by his mom living across from me and seeing them together at her house daily.

Everything is so good 15 years later. Have an amazing best friend that feels like a sister and the most amazing husband and 2 kids. They both flamed out and last I heard, he was buying pills in Mexico and selling them to his friends. She's unemployed with 3 DUIs.

First time I caught him in my own room with some girl it was a house party for new years.

Second time we were living together another house party I went to bed around 11pm. I woke up at 2am something startled me awake to this day not sure what it was to be honest, but in the end I was spooked. So, I walked out of our room to the living room. He was there going at it with one of my close girlfriends and some dude from his work. Honestly, it was so upsetting and shocking I thought I’d have like words to yell at them but I just ended up going to the bathroom and threw up.


Packed a bag and grabbed my dog, called my brother, and left. Never looked back in the end this cheating probably saved my life. It wasn’t until I left him and got some therapy I realized how horrible he was. So, oddly I’m grateful to have caught him because it helped me get out.

I do think often about my ex friend she married him they were sleeping together for sometime she was a few months pregnant when I caught them. I cant imagine trying to parent with someone like him. I hope she’s ok and maybe he isn’t like that with her.

Anyway, once a cheater always a cheater. Learned that the hard way.

I watched it. I’d known her for 15 years, she catered our wedding. I’d been with him for 6 years when we got married and she’d known him for less than a year. The pandemic hit and suddenly he was worried about her because she lived alone (she lived with her 17 yr old daughter). She’d invite us to lunch and he’d just leave without me. Basically they were making every excuse to be together without me. Finally she came to our house and was so dismissive of everything I said that I left the room. No one came to check on me. He left a few days later.

We were married for 8 months and had just bought a house. When they finally got together it lasted ~6-8 weeks. I could have told them they were poorly matched. He’s back living with his mother, where I found him.

A friend of the person he was cheating on me with sent me screenshots of them together that his affair partner posted on Instagram. That’s also how I found out that his “work trips” were actually to cheat on me.

Found Grindr installed on my ex husband's phone he told me after having a baby I wasn't attractive to him anymore and sometimes he just really wanted to suck a men's privates and I didn't have one so It wasn't fair if I stopped him.

A school mate of the person my person was cheating with called me at work to tell me. they were a complete stranger but hated the way the person was speaking about me and felt sympathy.

Every time he left to visit his family in the neighboring state (which I've visited before with him) he used my social anxiety as an excuse for me to stay home.

The last time was for two weeks. Rarely called, barely responded when he did answer. I knew then it was over.

I was in love, I was young and trusted him too easily, but not stupid. I knew even if he denied it. He was a coward and tried to frame it like he didn't want to hurt my feelings.

It's also kinda hard to deny it when after an 8 year relationship you immediately get engaged to a girl in that neighboring state.

That's the simplified version of it.

F you, Kyle.

They were coworkers and she was always super chummy so I had brought my concerns up to him several times that she was being waaaay too friendly and handsy. Turns out, He was cheating with her for 2 years, but he did a good job hiding it behind “going to hangout and get drinks with the work crew” and I’m not into the bar scene much. I saw him walking in town leaving a bar with her leaning her head on his shoulder. He said “she was just really drunk.” I told him I didn’t want him hanging out with her anymore. Soon after, one night after he told me explicitly that he wasn’t going to hang out with her I asked to see his phone when he got home. Instead of letting me see it, he threw it off our balcony.

With one guy, I googled him and found an article with pictures of his wife reading a children’s book she had written about a story he had told me on our first date. The article referenced their happy family. She had the same first name I did.

With a more recent ex, saw another woman on the security camera in my home while I was out of town. I’d had suspicions so I set the alarm to notify me when the front door had been opened.

Flew her out to spend some time together while we had time before fall classes began.

She was acting weird and didn't want to share my room. Fine, whatever, we had a spare.

Second night, I heard her and my lifelong best friend going to pound town through a wall that was shared with the bathroom.

Went to approach them about it - not angry, but definitely upset, confused, and hurt.

The door was barricaded with her luggage. So I tried talking through the door. When they refused to talk, I left the apartment with intentions of jumping from the nearby bridge.

Decided against it. Came back home after a couple of hours.

Cops. Everywhere. Looking for me. They were told that I had attacked them and was "armed and dangerous".

So when I showed up, I had about a dozen weapons locked on me and cops yelling at me about where my weapons were, etc.

I ended up going to jail for a weekend, getting a couple no contacts against me, dealing with a year of court cases that ate up my college funds.. in an attempt to stay out of prison for something I didn't even do.

Then, I had to work through serious PTSD for 10 years.

0/10, do not recommend.
