30 People Share Times They Caught Their Partner Cheating And They Gave The Most Ridiculous Excuse

"Everybody cheats" - used by cheaters to justify their bad behaviour. Actually, most people don't cheat. A lot more people have experienced cheating, because cheaters by definition get around, which makes them seem more populous than they really are.

Edit: "akshually it's 50%" - cheaters

Hm I think the first one was "I'm sorry" -this was my first girlfriend from highschool. -6 month relationship

The second girl said "you should understand. I mean look at you then look at me" - this was just before I dropped out of high school and she was the hot popular girl in senior year while I was just some short but skilled basketball player -a year and a half

The third girl cheated on me while I was at my bestfriends funeral several hundred miles away. Her dad (who we lived with) caught her and called me. I never heard what she had to say about it since I blocked her on everything and whatever voice-mail she left were erased immediately. This one hurt the most cause her dad was amazing and was the closest thing to a father I ever had. -2 years

4th girl a couple years after that was probably actually psychotic cause when I caught her cheating never said anything but got dressed and left then she had me jumped a couple days later and laughed as it happened. -1 year

5th girl I found out I was her backup while her main man was working out of state and saw her on the weekends. He did not know about me. I for real thought I found the one with this one I was a couple k from buying a house and engagement ring....and then she saved me a lot of money -3 years

So yeah every girl I've ever dated has cheated on me. I quit dating after the last one it was the worst. It's been about 5 years or so. I'm lonely but I'd rather that than be cheated on again. The last one was the worst pain I'd ever felt and genuinely thought about eating a bullet for a while. But f**k her and every single one of those bitches. They won't get the satisfaction of breaking me.

My favorite: "the only reason I didn't cheat on you the last 3 months was because the job I had didn't give me an opportunity"

Another favorite: 'well, I gave her a ride home and she didn't have cash, what else was I supposed to do?"

One that I heard from a former marriage counselor was a woman who claimed her husband was so affectionate, hard-working, and considerate, she developed an inferiority complex and dealt with it by cheating.

My ex looked me square in the eyes and said "I knew it would hurt you, but I didn't think it would hurt you this much"

I noticed that instead of saving money we were losing about $6k of our savings per month. We had a specific dollar goal to put a downpayment on a house. When I looked into it I found out my ex wife was spending over 6k a month. She got upset and said that she should be allowed to do whatever she wanted to with our money. She had been buying random url names in the hopes one would be the name of an up and coming business that would have to buy it from her. Like a patent troll but with web sites. I had been working my a*s off picking up extra work travel to save money for us, and then took up even more work trips to make up for the losses and get us back on track to buy a home. After that, whenever I returned home she was cold and distant. I tried to be affectionate to her and she told me to hook up with other women while on my work trips because she wasn't in love with me anymore. She said she loved me like a cousin and hoped we could continue being married but in a non traditional way. Meaning, she could still spend all my money lol.

When I found out she had been cheating she said that she stopped loving me when I criticized her use of our savings and then started traveling more, which gave her time to reconnect with an ex. She had broken up with the ex about 10 years prior when he became a pill popping heroin addict. When they reconnected, he was clean so she left me for him. So the reasons were 1. I shouldn't have been upset about her using our savings to buy website names instead of a down-payment on a house, 2. If I didn't get upset at the loss of all that savings, I wouldn't have picked up more work giving her the time and space to reconnect with her ex, and 3. She always loved him and he was clean now.

This wasn’t cheating but my bf used to like pictures on Instagram of underage girls in bikinis and when I confronted him and asked why, he said “cuz they look happy!”…….it was then that I realized I was dating an idiot.

Edit- “ex boyfriend” sorry yeah I’m definitely not with him anymore😅

Came home early from work to my last EX in bed with another guy…. “ I wasn’t trying to hurt you I didn’t think you would find out”….. I came home early because I spilled a frier on my leg and she ignored my call for a ride because she was busy being f****d…. I’m still mad when I think about it.

“I’d had nothing but bad experiences, and had so many good ones with you, that I needed to know if I was fixed.”

I was going to tell you eventually, but i wanted to make sure that we had a genuine connection.
I was given this line and shortly after went off the deep end for a while. Became a heavy alcoholic. She implied that in order to make sure her and her new bf had a 'real' connection she went over to his place several times. With her even taking him back to her place, which is where I found them.
