People Share Their “Accidently Caught My Partner” Cheating Horror Stories
Having someone you can spend your bad and happy days with is something to cherish. However, there are some moments in our lives that we cannot control.
Imagine yourself sitting on the couch waiting for your partner to come home and end up discovering something that breaks your heart.
These people from the Reddit Community shared their sudden discovery of their partner’s cheating scheme. Check these out!
1. Changed Name
My college girlfriend and I lived together for a year after I realized she would always have her phone on silent or just plain ignore calls from “Jennifer.” One day, I write down the number and call it a week later.
It ends up being her other boyfriend, who she had never broken up with before she came to college. Neither of us knew about each other, and she had been visiting him when she went home to see her parents on some weekends and breaks.
Broke up soon after, and her mom said that sometimes you just have to accept things and that I owed her an apology for breaking up with her. It gets worse, but that was the gist.
2. Anniversary Surprise
Not me, but a medical resident that I met on rotation recently. One of the nicest guys I ever met, super intelligent and hardworking, and training to be a trauma surgeon as humble as they come. He had been married for 2 years to his wife.
One night, he gets off a 30-hour call early and heads home to surprise his wife with flowers and her favorite dessert (the anniversary of the day they first met).
Only to find her in bed with a random dude.
He was so exhausted and confused that he didn’t know what to do and just left and went back to the hospital.
I saw him at 5 AM, sitting in the parking lot, hunched over, crying. He didn’t even have his phone, and he was just sitting there. Man, nothing breaks your heart more than seeing a grown man cry.
It’s not something you see often. We called his dad up, and he came and picked him up. The guy ended up taking a leave from his residency. Turns out, it wasn’t the wife’s first time sleeping around. Hope he gets back on his feet. He will make an amazing physician.
3. The Surprise
Walked in on my girlfriend while she was making out with another guy.
Me: [deep breaths] What are you doing here?!
Her: [sarcastic tone] You gave me a key, remember? I ended up not working today and wanted to surprise you.
15 years later, she reached out and left me a message that she’d like to talk. I figured she was doing some 12-step thing or something and wanted to make amends.
Nope. She wanted to try and sell me on Amway.
4. Worst Birthday
Woke up to her on her phone with hearts scrolling in Facebook Messenger. Take note that we were married 7 years at that point with 2 kids.
Also, it was my birthday.
I won’t feign total innocence: marriage is hard. I was working and in school full time so she could be a stay-at-home mom, which was our goal. She realized she wanted something else and moved on. Crap happens. Roll with the punches.
