30 Ways People Found Out That Their Significant Other Is Unfaithful

Infidelity rarely announces itself with a dramatic confession. It begins much more quietly, with a small, unsettling shift in the rhythm of a relationship. It's a tiny, nagging gut feeling, a change in routine you can't quite put your finger on, or a new phrase they suddenly start using.
An online community asked people who have been cheated on to share the moment the seed of suspicion was planted. The responses are a heartbreaking catalog of red flags that are easy to dismiss in the moment but glaringly obvious in hindsight.

He got mad when we had plans to do things. That didn't fit into his and his new lovers schedule. IE: we had a wedding that was RSVPd to months in advance and when I brought it up the week before he got very upset.

We're going back to college, but he had a new gal pal from the dorm that he was hanging around. She was in my circle but we weren't best buddies. He was talking about how good of friends they had become over the winter session. I found red hairs on his pillow and that was it. 


To get him to admit it I pretended I was psychic and had a dream that he cheated on me with her and told him that. He bugged out over my supposed psychic powers, and confessed the whole thing. 😂


Then he went out with her for a good long while and I think she punched him out in a bar one time because he cheated on her too. But we're going back to 1994 style college dorm drama so it may or may not be accurate. 😩 


I do know that on a drunken evening years later she approached me to tell me that I handled the news of their cheating really well and she had a lot of respect for me because of that. So that was kind of a clue.


Ahh, gotta love those old cheating stories. 😬.

I called my friend to see if him and his twin wanted to hang out and he said "im down but Drew can't come because he's making out with Sabrina" (my gf at the time)

Thats when I started getting suspicious.

Became distant, said s****y things to me, lost weight, bought new clothes and started going out with her best friend (who was single) to bars. I confronted her and she admitted it.

Can someone please give me insight into this. I am really struggling..

I didn’t know he cheated or left me for another girl. He just stopped talking to me.. it was weird. We broke up without ever actually talking about it. It just ended.

Two months later, he reached out saying he couldn’t stop thinking about me and that he loved me. We got back together, and four months later I found i went through his phone and found out he had been with another girl during those two months, basically a full-blown relationship. I even saw their last messages. She wrote, “Ew, how was your slimy sleepover?” when he was literally at my place and he has an "apology call" ending it with her.

After I found out, I told him he was disgusting and kicked him out. For months afterward, he sent handwritten letters to my house, flowers, even got my name tattooed on his ribs. It just doesn’t make sense. He became obsessive, saying he loved me, wanted to marry me, would wait forever. Then I kept finding out even more lies. Eventually, I blocked him on everything and told him to stop messaging me or sending letters.

Yeah… I feel f****d up.

Gaslighting and holding onto grudges on things that didn’t matter in the long run while some other dude treats her 20x worse. Losing all her morals and character. preaching values she never adhered to herself which were actually your own which she then gaslights

But yea definitely gaslighting and making weird comments.
