Warning: Some stories include topics of physical abuse, emotional abuse, and incest. Please proceed with caution.
1."My son ended up in the hospital with pneumonia when he was just six weeks old. They couldn’t find out what was wrong with him, and he ended up in the ICU. It turned out it was bacterial pneumonia because his dad cheated on me throughout my pregnancy, and gave me chlamydia (which then went into our son's lungs when I gave birth)."
2."My 16-year-old daughter told me I was being cheated on. The wife was cheating with another teacher in her high school classroom, and he would come by for a 'quick flirt' before school while my daughter was actually sitting there doing homework. The balls on that guy — she sent me screenshots of their texts and a photo of them doing stuff in his car. My poor kid. My wife and I were married for 20 years, and the dude was married for 30."
3."I had a lump appear on my dick. It grew bigger and painful to the point where I was crying myself to sleep — I went to the doctor, and they told me I had syphilis. A week later, my partner and I had an appointment at the clinic and got shots. The clinic called and asked if I talked to my then-boyfriend about his results. I called him at work, and he said: 'We should talk about this when I get home.' I yelled and told him to tell me immediately — apparently, he had gonorrhea (he got it during the week I went to the doctor after he infected me). Cheaters are assholes, and cheaters who don't use protection and infect their loyal partners are scum."
4."He had sex with one of our friends the day before he proposed to me — she told me this a month before we were going to get married. I planned on picking out flowers for the wedding the day after I found out, and felt so mortified and sad. After I left the florist, I canceled the wedding. I ultimately tried to work things out with him because I was with him for over 10 years. He was physically and emotionally abusive, so I had a hard time leaving — after a few months of feeling awful and going to therapy, I finally left."
5."My fiancée and I shared our bedroom wall with another tenant (it was two separate apartments, but they were directly next to each other). When I was at work, the tenant who lived in the other apartment texted me asking if my fiancée could 'keep it down' (there was too much noise coming from the bedroom). I responded that I was at work — the tenant replied that someone was in the room with my fiancée if it wasn’t me. I left work and sprinted home, as I was just a 15-minute walk away. I showed up to the apartment and found my fiancée’s clothes scattered on the floor — he was in our bed with one of his employees. I moved all of my things out that night when he was at work, and we never spoke or saw each other again."
6."I worked a lot to support my little family, and she complained I worked too much. So, one day I came home early to surprise her, but forgot my key to the apartment. I called her and said: 'Surprise! I'm home!' and she responded: 'Really?' (I thought she was happy I came home early). I got to the door, I knocked and knocked, but she wouldn’t answer. I was able to peek through the blinds, and saw her help another man climb in the hallway closet — I was in shock, so I left to drive around. She called me and wanted to know where I went (she was 'in the bathroom'). I told her I knew she was cheating, and she didn’t confess until the next day. She decided she was too young to be a wife and mom, and left us — I was 19 then, and instantly became a single parent."
7."A dude at work said congrats to me when I got into the office. I was like, what are you talking about? He said he overheard [anonymous] say she got laid last night, and he knew we were seeing each other. I was like, uh...I actually didn't see her last night. Then, another girl at work came and told me the same, but without the 'congrats' because she knew I'd been cheated on. When I confronted my partner about it, all she cared about was who told me (priorities, right?). Anyway, that relationship was doomed from the start."
8."I got a legit 'individual words and letters cut out of a magazine and glued onto a page to make a message' anonymous letter mailed to me at home. It was from my ex's coworker — my ex was apparently fucking her married boss. I showed it to my ex, and she started silently crying — then, she took the letter from me and burned it while begging me not to believe it. Shortly after that, I caught her drunkenly making out with said boss at a work party — bye, Felicia."
9."I found her kids' baby bottles in his apartment (she was a neighbor I never saw). When I asked about the bottles, he told me she 'comes down sometimes for coffee.' He never mentioned her before, but a few weeks earlier, he 'needed his keys back from the landlord' or something — it was total bullshit. He just didn’t want me to catch them. I ended it soon after."
10."As a sportswriter for a daily newspaper, I was assigned to cover high school football games across the region. I happened to be working a game in my hometown one Friday night. My then-wife took her turn as a band booster mom working the concession stand at that same game, and because my schedule was so random, she had no clue I was there that night. Sitting in the press box keeping stats for my story, I used binoculars to see the game. I spotted my wife in the visitors-side concession stand, and standing next to her was a local cop — then, I saw them kiss. We eventually divorced, and the cop divorced his wife of more than 30 years in order to marry my ex. They were married for about a year, then divorced."
11."I found a picture on my husband's laptop with his erection in his stepsister's cooter, and the vibrator I got her for her birthday in her bum. Good times."
12."I was looking at revising our phone plan to one with less data, and happened to notice a massive amount of texts on her line. I dug into the records and found they were to her coworker — about 48 hours later, I got home from work (night shift), and she wasn't home. I took a random guess and drove to their office at 4 a.m. (for some reason, common ground made sense), and I found them having sex in the parking lot."
13."My college girlfriend said she was hanging out with her friend, Kenny (I knew Kenny a little bit, and being a trustworthy person, I didn’t think anything of it). A couple of days later, I helped her put her laundry away and found Kenny’s shirt. She explained it as innocently as possible, and I gave her the benefit of the doubt — I didn’t think anyone cheating would be that stupid to get caught. I casually brought this up to our mutual friend, and they said: 'Yeah, she’s definitely banging Kenny, and has been for your entire relationship.' Apparently, EVERYONE knew except me, and my friends didn’t know how to tell me. To this day, I still think my friends not telling me my girlfriend was cheating hurt more than the actual cheating."
14."He updated his Facebook status to: 'In a relationship with' and it was with another girl. Apparently, they had been dating for three months already, and he claimed our relationship was so boring he had just forgotten about me. I tried messaging him, but he blocked me — and when I messaged his then-girlfriend to say: 'I'm his girlfriend, WTF is going on?' she tried to fight me (saying I had no business in their relationship). They then posted on Facebook how she 'had a stalker' — eventually, when they broke up, she cited me 'acting crazy' as one of the reasons."
15."This was a long time ago, before social media. I went to check my email on his computer, and his Instant Messenger popped up. His 'ex-girlfriend' couldn't wait to finally see him next week, and claimed long distance was awful for their relationship. He told me they broke up, but apparently, they didn't. He never told her about me, or that we were living together — I was suddenly homeless. Plus, I didn't know they were engaged — yay! Good times!"
16."Her roommates called and asked me to meet them for lunch, and said it was important. I met them, and they told me my partner was cheating on me with her ex the entire time I was deployed. They showed me pictures (back when you had to get pictures developed). They said I was a good man, and I didn't deserve to be mistreated — they collected my things the morning she left for work and gave them to me. I drove to her work, walked up to her, showed her the pictures, and demanded the ring back."
"She gave it to me, and I left, but later, she called yelling at me because I 'conspired with her roommates.' She asked why I met with them, and I said: 'It's about respect.'"
17.And: "When we went out to dinner with the kids, he took his jacket off, and I saw a deeeeeep red hickey on his neck. I didn’t make a scene at the restaurant or when we got back home (I waited until the kids went to bed). At first, he tried to deny it, but evidence proved differently (this was after 16 years of marriage). He moved to another city to live with his mistress and her three kids, but still wanted to have a relationship with me..."
"It turned out this was the fourth time he slept with other women because he 'liked the thrill of getting caught.' He even had the audacity to ask if the woman and her three kids could move in with me and my girls because she was being evicted from her apartment for not paying rent. There’s more to this saga, but that's enough for now."
