It’s never easy to stomach the idea that your significant other might not have been all that faithful to you, and even more so when you end up catching them.

But let’s take it one step further… and two steps back. Imagine your significant other finds out you cheated on them, when you actually didn’t, and they just misunderstood the signs, or train thereof.

Redditors have been sharing their experiences of being incorrectly accused of cheating, elaborating on their partners’ proof (or lack thereof), leading to anything from silly misunderstandings to a tad bit of crazy.

Red Mini Cooper parked in a lot near a brick building, illustrating stories of being wrongly accused of cheating online. My ex was incredibly distrustful. I was young and didn’t know any better. One day he confronted me saying he had proof I was cheating. I was incredibly bewildered as I am the faithful type and wouldn’t even look at another man. When I pushed for proof he admitted to having me followed by a private detective who had seen me get into a red mini. The mini belonged to a colleague who gave me a lift home from work one day. A female colleague. I ended the relationship there and then and chalk it up to a lucky escape.

She started to realize she was being an idiot, and I realized I didn’t like her anymore.

    A cozy bedroom with a striped blanket on the bed and a laptop, illustrating stories of being wrongly accused of cheating. Other way around, actually. I was the suspicious one. We were a middle-aged, long married couple. I was looking for something on his computer (not uncommon. He had a better computer for some things.). I ran into a file called "bedroom shots". w*f!!! I KNEW he had not taken any bedroom shots of me! Opened the file (of course) and it was pictures of our bedroom, just the bedroom, that I had taken years earlier to use for a paint program that changes the colors of the walls. I had named the file myself when redecorating and forgot about it.

    Smartphone tucked in jeans pocket, illustrating stories of being wrongly accused of cheating in online relationships. When my wife and I had 1st begun dating, I had a phone that had a bad habit of b**t dialing. One day, she was acting very standoffish So I could tell something was up. I kept asking her, and finally she got really upset and started grilling me about who that girl was that I was flirting with on the voicemail I left her when I b**t dialed her. I pulled up my call logs, and sure enough I had accidentally called her the previous afternoon. While she and I were hanging out in the library. She was concerned that I was cheating on her with herself. ETA we were high school juniors at the time. We've since ceased to be quite so jealous lol

    Person writing in a spiral notebook, illustrating stories about being wrongly accused of cheating in an intimate setting. I have poor handwriting. I was running a business and someone suggested I contact "Till" about some sales. I wrote "Till" down in my phonebook (it was long ago when people used personal phonebooks). I come home months later to the question "Who's Jill?" I don't know anyone named Jill. I am stumped. After a few rounds of who? huh? why?, my girlfriend shows me the entry in my handwriting. It takes me a while to place the name. I explain that it isn't Jill but Till, a man. That was the end of it, but I never got over her looking through my personal phonebook for revealing entries. In the end, we split 2 weeks before we were to get married. Till never did buy anything from me.

    Office cubicles with computer monitors and scattered paperwork, illustrating stories of being wrongly accused of cheating. Wasn’t sleeping with them as often so I MUST have been seeing someone else. Wasn’t sleeping with them due to me working an ungodly amount to pay the bills since they didn’t have a job at the time. That and I would work 6-7 12hr shifts in a row with a day break, and the last thing on my mind was exercise.

    Person holding a camera taking a close-up photo, illustrating stories of being wrongly accused of cheating online. An old picture from before the relationship. For some context, because I love my wife.and don't want everyone to think she's crazy, when we were in the beginning stages of dating she did catch me messaging a couple former hook ups, and made me s**t or get off the proverbial pot if you will. The picture was discovered at a later date and reopened some old wounds. Completely my fault, but I didn't know she had even seen it until years later when we had one of "those" conversations.
