'She was pregnant with my husband's baby when we were moving out of state at the end of that year.'
the stories weren't merely emotional affairs with colleagues or flirtatious banter with baristas at a nearby coffee shop —some involvedBelow are 17 horror stories from those who've caught their partners cheating.
..."We’d been together for seven years at this point. As he was upstairs getting ready for work, I found a small black box thing on the sofa. I figured it was one of my son’s toys. Nope. It was a tiny camcorder that I watched him having sex with his ex-wife on…it was date-stamped five days prior.""Emotional affairs with younger women, paid young coworkers for nasty dancing pics, and slept with a young sex worker. It destroyed me. All of these were younger than his own kids. It’s been years, and I’m not sure I’ll ever bounce back. The betrayal you feel is overwhelming. He was my world, and my everything, and his selfishness destroyed a 33-year marriage.""I divorced my ex-wife over 25 years ago because she suggested we try an open marriage. This was before ethical non-monogamy was all the rage that it is right now. And long before the internet was in every home. My wife started getting into the new age thinking and lifestyle that included unlocking her sexual inhibitions. Don’t get me wrong, I’m no prude, and I have a very liberal mindset, but something about the change in my wife felt wrong.""We both married young, so I was willing to accept changes and growth between us. But the change in her behavior was beyond the pale. She kept neglecting our children’s needs, and she forgot important family dates. She prioritized outside events above her family. Without any proof and bluffing that I knew all about her affairs, she confessed to having cheated on me with five different men and tried to use the open marriage as an excuse to get me to absolve her guilt. Since our divorce, she has been living a nomadic life with different romantic partners. I lost count of how many. I get care packages from her from time to time, from different parts of the world, addressed to her children. But they are all left unopened. She has no contact with her three children and doesn’t know she is a grandma to two children and another on the way. My current wife of 20 years is the only mother my first three recognize as their mother.""Not even ashamed to admit I hacked into his social media and read messages. This was in high school. The guy was just a liar in daily life, and at first I was naive, but over time I learned his tells and could spot a lie in a second. I learned to trust my gut , and when I logged into his account, I found messages between him and a few other girls. He was asking for naked pics, sending pics, chatting with them like he was single even though we’d been together for over a year at that point.""I called him to confront him about what I found, and he lied, said he didn’t know what I was talking about, called me 'crazy,' all while I could hear him clicking a mouse in the background and deleting the messages I had pulled up on my screen in front of my face. Not long after this, I checked his phone, and that was the real treasure trove.""Thought I had a UTI and found out it was waaaayyyy worse than that. Can’t get rid of that with Ajax.""He blamed me and said I was cheating. Five years together, but I had a gut feeling for the last two years that he was cheating on me. You don’t have to wait for proof. Your gut feeling is enough.""We had an almost nonexistent sex life for many years. I traveled a lot on business and one day when I got back, I found a cream on her side of the nightstand that I didn’t know. I looked it up and it was for genital herpes. I freaked out and got myself tested immediately and came up negative." "I then started putting things together and checking her emails and found a long list of evidence that I was too naïve to even think about before this. I confronted her, and she admitted to having herpes, and through the inquisition I conducted, she admitted she cheated on me and contracted herpes from her affair partner. The worst part for me wasn’t even this clandestine affair. It was the fact that she contracted a lifelong STI and didn’t even think about my health and welfare. She hid it and took risks when we did occasionally have sex just to hide her affair. As of today, I still don’t have it, but we haven’t had sex in almost 10 years, and I miss it greatly."'Work flip phone lying on the counter. I hadn't seen the phone before. I open it, and call the one phone number on it. A woman from his work answers, and I hang up. The only pic on the phone is of his junk. Come to find out she gave him the phone to use that is paid for by her father, so they can talk. She was pregnant with my husband's baby when we were moving out of state at the end of that year."The baby is a boy, 13 now, and looks just like my husband, but he still denies it to this day and says nothing ever happened, and it’s all in my head. At his job now, there is a coworker who works directly for him, and he’s at it again. She was born the same year as our oldest daughter, is 26, and is gorgeous. He can’t stop talking about her and how he helps her with all her family issues. My husband is 47. Denies it all. As usual. Again.""My ex-husband and I were both in the Navy. We got married early . I got hurt and was placed on shore duty. Shortly after, he started going underway. He made this 'friend.' She was always around, and then he started to call and talk to me less in favor of spending time with her."Fast forward six months, and he's deployed. Within two weeks, we were back to the same BS — him barely talking to me and being a d*** when he did, but not telling me why. I just had this gut feeling that something was up. So I lied to catch him. I told him my friends on the ship had told me they saw them together all the time again. For a month, he kept up lying to me and being the worst. For some reason, she was removed from the ship and flown home halfway through, and that was when he stopped lying and told me the truth, including that they’d slept together. I was devastated but annoyed that even 6,000 miles away, my gut was STILL right. I think she got removed because she got pregnant, and he only told me because he wanted me to check on her .—Anonymous, 29, Female, Virginia"I found out my husband was cheating on me by reading texts messages on his Apple Watch. He stopped wearing it a long time ago, but it still synced to his phone every day when he got home. I never, ever went through his phone or watch before. Out of complete boredom, I went through it. I NEVER expected to find out he was cheating on me with a coworker for a year. I forgave him, and we had another baby. Found out he never stopped cheating on me with her. He doesn’t know I know yet, but hell is coming for him…""I never thought he would cheat on me, but then one day he started to listen to country music out of nowhere. Long story short, I found a Gmail account of his I didn’t know about and was able to answer all the security questions to access it. It was ALL there. It was a girl he worked with and they'd even had sex in our bed!""The icing on the cake is that I found out I was pregnant with our second child a few days later! We ended up staying in the same house while we were divorcing. Our son was born eight weeks premature due to all the stress, and he wasn’t even there for the birth. We finally finalized everything when he was about 9 months old, but it was hell. I’m much happier now and don’t think I would have survived being married to him. He was verbally and emotionally abusive, but I stayed for my oldest son at the time. Everything happens for a reason, and I know if I got through that, I can get through anything. I have two wonderful sons, and I don’t think I would have the same, extremely close relationship with them if we were still married, so I’m thankful for that. Btw, they were on-and-off for about 10 years but never moved forward in their relationship because they didn’t trust each other! Ha!""My 5-year-old son told me about Daddy 'tickling' Dee in bed. My then-husband’s response when I asked him about it was, 'better to be accused of something I did do than I didn’t.' That would allllllmost make some twisted sense if I’d ever accused him of cheating. Even the day I confronted him, I only told him what our son had told me and asked him if it was true.""I caught my husband when I traveled back home for his stepmother’s funeral because I’ve known her since I was a kid . And no, he didn’t go, because he was supposedly dealing with mental health issues. I opened the baby cam to check on our 6-year-old and heard him talking to someone. He was talking on the phone to his ex about whether it hurt because it felt good to him, lying right next to my sleeping son. I immediately drove 16 hours straight to pick up my son and go back for the funeral.""His mother died. I was literally haunted by her ghost. She nagged me to look into his Facebook account; I do not have one myself, never have, and I had zero idea how to navigate the site. ZERO idea. Her ghost led me to the direct messages, and I found texts from an ex he had cheated on me with 33 years ago, when I was pregnant with our son. Best part was his MOTHER was her Facebook friend." "That’s how they hid the current goings on. She was not on his friends list. Had I not been prompted by a ghost to look at his messages, I would have never known. He was texting her while lying next to our grandson, while putting him to sleep at our house one night after we had a family day at the dinosaur park. Unfortunately, she was NOT the only one. The disrespect after 34 years is unreal. I’m getting a gray divorce for 2026, I am DONE! F&$k Facebook and lying cheaters!""My ex-husband worked in the movie industry. He was working out of state at the time. When they had night shoots, he would typically call me on his way to work, but by week two, those turned into short text messages. Originally, I chalked it up to him being busy and tired until I looked at the bank statement. I Googled a few of the places only to find out they were clubs; my ex HATED dancing. So then I checked our phone bill, and the same phone number kept coming up on the nights he went to these clubs. I found the promo company that two of the clubs used and found their event photos.""After searching through hundreds of photos, there was my ex-husband making out on the dance floor with a coworker. Mind you, I had just had our third child one week before the work trip. I sent him the picture and told him we were done.Needless to say, I've been happily divorced for 10 years, and he's currently married to the work meeting.""I dropped my phone in the back of the couch and used my boyfriend's phone flashlight to look for mine. Something told me to go through his phone. Wild story of what unfolded afterwards, but that was 10 years ago, and it was 10 years into our relationship. We are still together after 20 years, and we love each other more every day. The cheating changed both of us for the better. It was bizarre. I did have dreams he was cheating, while he was cheating.
