The dude she was with introduced her to reddit, she introduced it to me, I looked at the history of her account, accidentally found his, and turns out he'd been bragging about his new girlfriend and how they're going to get married and blah blah blah. Their dates lined up with a lot of her "business trips".
Called her out, she confessed. That was that.
On the plus side, Reddit and I have been going steady for about 7 years now.

She had the nerve to beg me to me to try and convince him to stay with her, as he was the only man she had ever truly loved and she was the poor victim. She called me to blow it all up because had finally ended it with her because in his words “ he didn’t want to risk losing me, the most important thing in his life” Yeah, he had 1-4 years to calculate those risks.
I immediately moved out of our home despite the pleading ,and left them to be together as they deserved each other. Alas, they did not last and I was harassed at all hours of the night and day from this woman from multiple phone numbers for a year even after she knew I had ended things with my ex and moved out. This woman was also 20 years older than me, and not some young girl in puppy love.
It’s been 4 years now, and now I’m in a loving happy healthy relationship so life goes on eventually.

We were only dating and didn’t live together.
Then he went missing one day, no idea what had happened. I phoned, emailed, texted whatever means of communication I had I tried to get ahold of him.
Turns out he’d been in an accident and was in the hospital.
I found out when his GIRLFRIEND called me to let me know. She’d been to his apartment looking for him and found all my messages in his computer etc as well as some jewelry I’d left a couple nights previous.
Her and I had an excellent time confronting him together at the hospital.
Infidelity is nothing new because all the ancient Greek myths are full of Zeus cheating on Hera. It's pretty ironic, considering she was the goddess of marriage, but these old tales have always been complicated. However, since we live in a modern, civilized world, you would expect people to be slightly better than the ancient folks, right?
Alas, humans will never change, I guess. Strange how all we do is keep giving each other mental health issues. After all, experts warn that people who have been cheated on experience symptoms of anxiety, depression, and PTSD after discovering their partner’s infidelity. That’s why they have coined this as post-infidelity stress disorder (PISD).

Im like, “ who is this?”
“ Man this is Roy...”
Ah yes Roy. My neighbor from across the courtyard in our complex. Gang member. Convicted criminal who spent time in prison. That roy. Like 40 years old answering the phone of my 23 year old gf.
I told him to put my gf on. I ask all the obvious questions. She replies, “ we are just friends! He is really nice! He even bought me clothes.”
Ah to be young.
It's also mind-boggling how some folks don't feel any remorse about breaking their partners' hearts as they keep this cheating behavior on a loop. Studies show that 40% of couples report infidelity. Moreover, someone is three times more likely to be unfaithful if they have done so in the past. Once a cheater, always a cheater, I guess.
Not to forget, a person is two to four times more likely to be cheated on if they have been cheated on or have suspected it in a prior relationship. I honestly can't even imagine how much pain a person feels after being betrayed multiple times like this. I wonder how they even get the courage to trust someone again and let them into their heart.

Backstory: this was 20+ years ago, none of us had cell phones and we had all been friends in high school.
Sara and I decide to grab dinner downtown while we wait. We didn't even get our food ordered before she tells me that she has suspicions that Alex is cheating on HER. I stay as calm as possible and start asking questions, who does she suspect, when and where he might have cheated, etc. Then she says "Since you're Alex's best friend, I thought you might know the truth. Do you know if he's cheating?" So, yeah Sara, I think I might have a hunch... I tell her that Alex and I have been in a relationship for over a year and the other woman was me. I was expecting at least a drink thrown at my face at this point but she and I start comparing facts and decided to confront him when he was finished with work. Sara drops me off at another friend's house while she goes to talk to Alex. Alex denies everything to her and they argue on their way to his house. I show up a few minutes later, grab my suitcase and head out the door, meanwhile Alex is now crying and begging me to stay, telling me that Sara is mental and obsessed with him but that nothing was happening between them. No thanks, I was finished being lied to and gaslit. I spent the rest of my holiday at my friend's house and never saw either Alex or Sara again.
Studies have revealed that 57% of men and 54% of women have committed infidelity at some point in life. Moreover, 22% of men and 14% of women had an affair during their marriage. Honestly, the stats are pretty sad, but both genders are capable of being unfaithful. Although research says that what is classified as cheating varies based on the emotional, physical, or digital form of the affair.
It further elaborated that men are more likely to engage in a physical affair, while women are more likely to cheat emotionally. Apparently, folks with a high libido are sometimes more prone to straying physically. However, other times, it boils down to a person feeling insecure and seeking an ego boost in an emotional fling.

It’s a common mix-up to think that people only stray when things are going south at home, but the truth is a bit more complicated. Research emphasizes that even folks in happy relationships can find themselves caught up in infidelity. Feeling disconnected from a partner is a frequent cause of adultery.
However, it often stems from more personal issues, like struggling with self-esteem or being hooked on the “rush” of a new romance. Sometimes, it’s less about the relationship itself and more about a person’s individual personality or their casual outlook on intimacy. Sometimes, it’s just because of the environment we grew up in. The “unspoken rules” we learned can make cheating feel like it isn’t such a big deal.

I got the cars, the house, alimony and she only sees our son every other weekend, if he even wants to go. He's not a fan of her or the guys she brings around. I'm sure she's enjoying her parents garage now.

I look through his snap chat and see he recently snapped a girl named Alexis, and I clicked it to see if I could see their chat. Well, long story short they were exchanging spicy pics. I was gonna take pictures and then confront him later but he walked back into the room and caught me with his phone, so I just decided to confront him there.

I won't lie when I say that today, I learned a lot of new things about infidelity and its causes. After all, these stories are proof that it keeps happening night and day, no matter what. Well, love isn't enough for some people. However, they have no right to destroy the lives of their partners.
Don't you agree? We would like to hear your thoughts about it. Also, if you have any similar tales to tell, feel free to spill the tea in the comments below!
