15 Ugly Cheating Stories That Prove The Truth Always Comes Out
Article created by: Gabija Saveiskyte
No one ever expects their partner to be unfaithful, but it happens—and surprisingly often. According to a new YouGov survey, more than half (53%) of Americans say they were cheated on.
To better understand these situations, Reddit user BlushyBunnyBop asked people to share their worst stories about infidelity, whether they had experienced the heartbreak themselves or witnessed someone else.
The responses were raw, shocking, and sometimes even darkly humorous. Here are the ones that stood out the most.

Wife called to say she won’t be home because she drank too much & didn’t want to drive (yet she’s never been a drinker!). Turned off her phone location & was evasive to my texts. Refused to let me come get her & didn’t care that her kids were concerned. After an hour of texting she stopped replying. In the morning I was getting warnings of attempts on a credit card to get cash from an ATM because none of my cards allow that. Ran to the bank at opening time to remove all cash only to find money was drained from it 10 minutes earlier across town. Fast forward days later I find phone evidence that the bf & her have been discussing where they’ll live & where they’ll have the kids go to school. I could go on but it’s the typical didn’t-see-it-coming-from-this-person scenario. It’s terrible that someone can hurt their spouse & kids so badly but it happens every day. Fortunately if you work hard at it, life can be 1000 times better years later without that person.

Heard this from a date:
She was dating a rich Chinese kid. Well, the girl had been busy with med school or residency and she had been with him for 10 or so years. Families and friends were all intertwined. She thought she would marry him.
She rather emotionless and expressionless. But, a week before her board exams she wanted to go visit him in Chicago. On the flight, she had WiFi and a friend messaged her saying she found photos of her boyfriend in another condo and there appears to be another girl. Turns out that he was playing house with another girl as if they were married and whenever this girl went over to visit, he would go to the other condo. Turns out, the rich Chinese kid had two condos.
She broke down on the plane.
But, she made it a point that she passed her board exams.

Teenage Summer Camp (so not really that important)
Long time GF went to the week-long camp. Many of my friends went. I couldn’t go due to my job.
GF openly making out with another guy during the week.
When I picked her up on the last day, only one of my friends told me about it. That hurt much more than the cheating.

A close friend of mine went through something absolutely brutal a while ago. He was in a relationship with a woman, and they had a three-year-old son together.
After their son was born, she was diagnosed with postpartum depression. She was on sick leave and stayed home all the time. My friend worked full-time and took care of their son whenever he wasn’t at work. He did his best to hold everything together.
One day, he found a memory card in their bathroom. Out of curiosity, he checked what was on it. What he found completely shattered him.
It was filled with explicit photos and videos of her with other men – not just random stuff, but full-on setups with lighting and multiple men involved. And it was all filmed in their bedroom. On their bed.
The files were timestamped. He went through a few and noticed one date that hit him especially hard.
It was the day of their son’s third birthday.
That day, she had told him she was “too sick” to come to the birthday party at his parents’ place. So he took their son alone. Meanwhile, she stayed home.
And apparently, invited one (or more) of those men over to film a s*x tape in their shared bedroom.
Needless to say, he was crushed. It wasn’t just the cheating – it was the coldness, the lies, and the fact that she could do that on their kid’s birthday.

I’ve only done it once.
I was in my 20s. I felt so bad about it that I broke up with my girlfriend two days later.
I learned a lesson from the immense guilt - ALWAYS break up with your partner FIRST before you let anything get that far. It’s not necessarily easy but it’s the right thing to do.
I could never bring myself to cheat again.

A friend of mine was a truck driver in a 2-man crew. His partner bragged to him of his wife's sexual prowess... in great detail, on a daily basis.
The newly wedded friend decided he needed to check that out... destroying 2 families, several friendships, a softball team, and the company.

My ex-wife pretended to be admitted to a mental health ward for long term treatment while actually staying with her new man and cheating on me.

Bought a house with my girlfriend (a dream of mine for over 10 years). She gaslit me when I had suspicions about a coworker, not long after she cheated and left me for him before we even got to move into the house and 2 months before I was going to propose. It destroyed me.
Had to list my house for sale before I even got to move into it. During this time I had to stay in touch with her until the house sold. Once in a while she would text me apologizing or saying how much she loved me. Even called me crying to comfort her after her dog died.
Well the coworker she left me for cheated on his ex of 9 years to be with my ex. Guess he never really left his ex and continued seeing her. He was apparently emotionally a*****e to my ex and they fought all the time, she got in dangerous situations, cops had to be called a few times and he became a stalker. She had to get a job elsewhere to get away from him.
This strained her relationship with her parents a lot as they were really disappointed in her as she kept making bad decisions.
When the house sold she owed me over $20k, she asked for some Taylor swift tickets of hers that she had told me to keep months earlier to make up for the cheating. When I did not return them she refused to give me the money. I could’ve went to court but I just sold the tickets for nearly 20k and I’ll just take the loss rather than have her in my life anymore.
That last I heard of her was she was f*****g a bunch of different guys to restore her faith in men or something. So she lost a house, lost her reputation, lost her job, and lost a man that wanted to build a life with her and loved her more than anything.

I was in a long distance relationship at the time. I got a message from her friend out of the blue saying she was out with another boy. Received photos and videos from her as evidence too.
I asked my missus at the time what she was doing,
"Just helping mum with baking"
Immediately sent her all the evidence her friend sent me, told her that we were done and blocked her number.

Caught my ex cheating while I was helping her study for her finals and covering her rent because she’d lost her job. Found out through a friend that she was going on “study breaks” with another guy. What stung the most wasn’t even the cheating—it was realizing how much I’d ignored the red flags because I cared too much. Lesson learned: if you’re doing more for someone than they’d ever do for you, you’re not in love, you’re being used.

We were 2 years into a relationship and up until this point she was madly in love with me, called me a trillion times a day, always wanted to be with me, etc.
It was around the time she was helping her sister plan the sister's wedding. Her calls became less frequent per day. When I called her she usually wasn't available and I just assumed it was because of the wedding. Our dates became less frequent as well and I naively believed again it was because of the wedding.
About 1-2 months later I get a call from her other sister during work and it caught me by surprise. She told me she had something to tell me and somehow I just instantly knew what it was about. "My sister's been cheating on you."
It was with her soon-to-be married sister's fiancé's brother. They had all been going out at night because of the circumstances around the wedding. My ex found it fun and found his existence to be some kind of "sign from God." Like a movie/fairytale.
She continued to lie to me about it for weeks even though I already knew the truth. Her sister eventually forced her to "break up" with me and even during that moment, during that conversation, she didn't have the decency to tell me she was with someone else. I feigned a smile saying I always knew we weren't going to end up together and let her be on her way.
After our official break up, I still wanted her and kept trying to convince her to break up with him and come back to me. She continued to either deny the relationship; that she cheated; or would tell me that they stopped talking. This period of time gave me immense grief and I could physically feel that sinking feeling in my body every day & every night. This all accumulated to an intense pain in my abdomen that caused me to not be able to sleep at night until I was too exhausted to stay awake.
I begged her to stay or at least visit me over the Christmas holidays. She promised me that she would and then told me she had to be with her family last minute. I found out she actually took that time to take a solo flight to go see the other guy for the entire holiday.
I was in and out of the hospital for the pain for a while. My mom, not knowing that we broke up, called her to tell her I was in the hospital. She was upset but never came to visit even once. When it was time for surgery (my gallbladder was infected), guess who showed up to see me? Not her. Not once. Her sister did though.
My ex and her new boyfriend only lasted about a year. Turns out he was physically and emotionally abusing her. And neither of them was smart enough to know how to save money so they were both broke as well.

My girlfriend at the time cheated on me THEN dumped me on my prom night. She also danced the last dance (which she said was one of our songs) with the guy.

Caught my ex texting someone saved in their phone as pizza hut. Thought they were just really into takeout… turns out, they were just really into someone else.

We were at a friend's relative's funeral. Turns out both of his girlfriends came to show support. It was a big occasion, hundreds of people there. The deceased was beloved in the community.
Anyways, he asked our friend group keep his girlfriends away from him and from meeting each other. There were so many people there that it wasn't too difficult.
