Unfortunately for some people, their partners simply can't commit to one person and not have other romantic adventures on the side. But no matter how hard they try to hide it, the truth is often revealed nevertheless; sometimes in some rather crazy ways.

Netizens on X (formerly Twitter) recently discussed such ways, after one user asked them to share the craziest stories about how they learned their partner was cheating. Despite it being a rather painful thing to go through, quite a few people opened up about their experiences, so if you're curious to read their stories, scroll down to find them on the list below.

    If you feel the need to hide a secret phone, you should at least be smart enough to put it on silent.

    It’s safe to assume that no one wants to see their relationship crumble or believe that their partner could ever cheat on them. But unfortunately, quite a few of them do, consequently destroying not only their relationship, but their partner’s ability to trust, too.

    In addition to difficulties trusting someone after having been cheated on, people might also experience depressive symptoms or deal with lowered self-esteem. “The impact of this life-altering event challenges the person’s sense of self, safety and trust in another who is supposed to be their ‘secure base’ for love and adoration,” experts suggest in a study of love and infidelity. “Thus, infidelity leaves some at risk of turning towards unhealthy coping mechanisms such as excessive drinking, drug use, unprotected sex, and suicidal behavior in response to their emotional pain.”

    Despite being a somewhat common reason for breakups and divorce, infidelity doesn’t mean the same thing for everyone. People might draw the line at different things, as for some, their partner developing feelings for someone else is enough, while others only consider it cheating if people act on it. But no matter where the line is drawn, infidelity usually involves a breach of trust.

    According to Simply Psychology, cheating is “something you do behind your partner’s back, something you know you shouldn’t do and therefore keep a secret.” That’s why some people might consider something seemingly innocent, such as a text, to be equally detrimental to catching their partner in bed with someone else.

    I have never understood why a woman’s first impulse is to blame and hate the other woman. Not all of them are true homewreckers. Most of them are ALSO being lied to by the same man. So your best strategy is for both of you to gang up on the cheating POS who has been lying to both of you. Change that to all of you if there’s more than one other woman.

    According to Simply Psychology, there are three types of cheating – physical, emotional, and digital; or, perish the thought, all three together. And while being physically or emotionally unfaithful is in no way a recent phenomenon, digital infidelity is something that has arguably escalated with the increase in technology use.

    ADVERTISEMENT

    Some sources suggest that virtual cheating or cyber-infidelity is so widespread that as much as a quarter of Tinder users are in a relationship while using the app and roughly one-in-ten committed people admit to using websites for finding extramarital partners, such as Ashley Madison.

    The aforementioned Ashley Madison website, used by people seeking adulterous affairs, is just one example showing that quite a few committed people seek romantic adventures outside of their marriage or their relationship. A recent Netflix docuseries on said dating site sheds light on not only the fact that a large number of people cheat on their significant others, but also showed that the truth might come out at any minute; as it did with the cheaters mentioned on this list.

    Nowadays, with technology and social media being an integral part of our everyday lives, it’s not surprising that the two play a role when it comes to infidelity, too. Seeking to evaluate said role, Deseret News commissioned a poll, which found that many people consider sexual relations with someone else cheating, but they’re less sure where to draw the line when it comes to interactions over the internet.

    According to the poll, roughly three quarters of Americans believe that a one-night stand or a consistent sexual affair counts as cheating. However, only half of them (51%) say that sending sexually explicit text messages is cheating, only 63% believe that maintaining an online dating profile while in a relationship is cheating, and less than a fifth (16%) consider following an ex on social media cheating.

    But the same way technology and social media enable people to cheat on their partners, they can also play a part in the truth revealing itself, especially if the cheater leaves their chats open in plain sight or sends a spicy message to the wrong person. Though this list shows that these are far from the craziest ways a cheater might be caught.

    My grandmother told my mother's boyfriend that my mother was a golddigger and will never ever work a job (completely true, me and all my siblings are 'gotcha!' babies). He, rightfully, dumped my hoebag of a mom. As a child I understood it was the best thing for him, but I was quietly devastated, he was an Italian architect from Naples, absolute standup guy, intelligent, sophisticated, kind, and the most decent man my mother had ever been with. I desperately wanted him to be my new dad. Still miss you, Elio Sullo.

    So, I believe the correct interpretation of this is the girl OP's ex was cheating on OP with gave the ex a loan and then called OP to tell her about it, probably in hopes of recouping some of the money.

    I might be wrong but I’m pretty sure she’s saying that he knew she was trans but hadn’t considered that trans girls don’t get periods so wouldn’t use tampons (eta: obviously if they haven’t had surgery, but even if they have, still don’t get the bleeding part of periods)

    BuzzFeed recently published a quiz that was actually a university poll from years ago. It was asking self identified men who were having vaginal/penile sex to answer 10 questions Auntie now anatomy and reproduction. Nine out of 10. But the size of a tampon had to do with the size of the vagina, not the flow. 83% could not identify the fallopian tubes in a diagram. Half had no idea of what the difference was between an ovaries and eggs. A very small percentage actually knew how long a full cycle was. The good news is is that 65% use a woman could urinate with a tampon in. I could give you stats in details on m to f women who have transitioned with bottom surgery. And he’d be astonished at how many cis men don’t consider whether or not they would need a tampon. I’d like to think it’s just a matter of these men identifying and Holey recognizing these women as women and it was more of a “Doh!” moment of not thinking it thru.

    Also a lot of countries sex education classes at school are abysmal with little information on how things actually biologically work, or they get crappy Biology classes where the teacher is too timid to tell them the facts, Girls are educated at home on how their bodies work solely to stop them getting pregnant, but boys usually aren't given much information from parents. Boys also laugh their way through any sex education and don't take it seriously.

    But did he confess in the real world? Maybe give him a serum of lavender oil & poly juice potion and sprinkle chia seeds soaked in kombucha around his bed and he’ll admit to being a cheater in real life. (PS - I’ve no problem with any of these things and actually like some of them. I just don’t give them magical power over me, just as I don’t let my dreams dictate my choices in life. Maybe inform, but not determine.)
