30 People Share The Unexpected Ways They Found Out Their Partner Was Cheating
Learning about a partner’s infidelity can feel like a kick to the gut. It can take the wind out of you, leaving you unable to process what happened for a few minutes. Some describe it as the “deepest pain” they’ve ever felt.
How you find out is another story, and it can either be an added insult to injury or momentary comic relief because of how stupidly laughable it is. As these TikTok users have shared, it can be a bit of both.
You’re about to read anecdotes about cheating discoveries through emojis, revelations from the affair partners, and while looking through a food delivery app. Hopefully, you’ve never gone through such traumatic experiences, but if you have, feel free to share them in the comments.

About those "hey, girlie" messages: my grandma received a similar call. The woman on the other end told her that she was having a good time with my grandpa (during the call, she meant.) My grandma only asked the woman that what she thought, who was the man beside her? (My grandpa was at home at the time of the call.) Another fiend of mine also received a dm about her husband being unfaithful from a woman. The story didn't hold water. Hubby was pretty much at a different place at the time, when he supposedly romanced the other woman. Very much verifiably. So, these messages on their own aren't reliable.

Apparently, most of the people who send these fake messages are men pretending to be women. Can't say I'm shocked

I hope people got better evidence than what was presented in most of these posts.

I see your point, but at the same time, if they were this suspicious, the relationship probably wasn't worth it for either party?

I was at a friend's birthday party with my now ex boyfriend. He was in the park with his mobile. I was in the gazebo talking to some friends. I approached him and saw he was reading a message. I couldn't read the message, but saw the name of a woman. We went home (he stayed at my place that night) and next morning when he left, I looked for her in his facebook's friends list. She had him tagged in tons of messages where she said she loved him... When I asked him who she was and how long they have been together, he tried to invent an excuse that someone was filling my head with lies, I told him I found her posts... He invented more excuses and I told him I didn't want to see him ever again... This was in 2008. Never even run into him again...

I found out a boyfriend was cheating on me when I found a home made spreadsheet hidden in the cupboard with all the mugs and cups. He’d written down all the names of various guys he had come round for “s**y shenanigans time” and how they took their tea or coffee. Moved into the spare room.

Not exactly cheating on me since I knew we weren't exclusive, but I was visiting a guy I was dating at his college and got on the elevator with a girl at the same time. She asked what floor, I said 4th, and she said, "Me too!" Had a little chat and when we got off the elevator we realized we were heading to the same door. I asked her if she was going to see the guy I was going to see and she said, "Yep!" We decided to stand together and knocked on the door. The look on his face when he answered was priceless. I just laughed and left her to deal with whatever was going to happen between them. Didn't see him again. :)
