A lot of people in relationships get doubts about their partner
According to “State of Us: National Study on Modern Love & Dating in 2025,” nearly half (48%) of singles have suspected their partner was cheating on them at some point in the past. Women were more likely to report suspicion of cheating than men — 54% vs. 43%.
Among those who suspected foul play, 85% said they did something about it, including 32% who immediately confronted their partner about it.
Going no contact with your ex might help. As the phrase implies, the rule is about cutting off all communications with your ex after a breakup. This includes not engaging in phone calls, texting, direct messages and “likes” on social media, and in-person meetups. Some even argue that looking at their social media posts is considered off limits.

“In addition to no direct contact with your previous partner, it also means not following up with mutual friends to gather any form of information about their lives,” says Leanna Stockard, LMFT at LifeStance Health.
While you inevitably will think of your ex-partner from time to time, eliminating contact and ceasing innocent “check-ins” can help reduce how much your mind wanders back to them and your relationship. It can also help prevent confusing feelings for both of you.

Throughout his years in Bored Panda, over 300 million people have read the posts he's written, which is probably more than he could count to.

His motives are admirable but there's very little consideration for the GF here. Stepping in when the ex was being a****d? Makes sense. Taking her to his place for the night? Ohhhhkay. A stretch, but his heart was in the right place. But a 14 HOUR drive AND an overnight stay? Really? That's taking it too far. There's no reason he couldn't have called her parents or one of her friends or buy her a train ticket or or or. Why did HE have to be the one to rescue her? And why isn't there even a fraction of the same concern for his current GF that he has for his ex? I don't think he's necessarily an AH, just clueless and in the wrong relationship.
