There’s nothing quite as heartbreaking as finding out your partner, the person you’ve trusted most of all, was actually cheating on you.
A while back, Reddit userDEDCMDM94asked, “What is your ‘accidentally caught your spouse’ cheating horror story?” And the responses range from absolutely gut-wrenching to jaw-on-the-floor shocked. Here are some of those stories:

1.“She broke things off when she got pregnant because she was sure it was someone else’s baby. Turns out I was one of three possible dads. Fast-forward a couple of years, and after some paternity tests, we discovered it was actually mine.”
2.“I noticed on the phone bill that she was texting a certain number 600 times a month. It seemed familiar, and when I looked it up, it was one of my friends.”

3.“He left his laptop screen wide open when he went to take a dump, and I wanted to check something on my Facebook, so I just went to grab it and saw an open message (back in the days when Facebook messages were pop-ups on the screen). It was right there in black and white with a girl I knew, talking about how much he hated me and liked her. I went home and didn’t say why, then ended it a few days later over text. It was my first boyfriend, so it hurt badly at the time, but it’s just funny now.”
4.“My 3-year-old told me.”

5.“I found my wife’s notebook. Written on the first page was a 10-step plan detailing how she was going to leave me for another guy. I turned it into one step.”
6.“I had gone through my daughter’s closet and had a bag for Goodwill. I was about to put it in my car, and at the last second, I decided my husband should do it. He never does it. So, I opened the trunk of his car, and there was his gym bag. But he hadn’t been to the gym in over a year. I opened the gym bag, and it was filled with our marital sex toys and some basic toiletries. That’s right. He was cheating on me, USING OUR SEX TOYS with another woman. I got into his phone, found more, and confronted him. It turns out he had been cheating the entire 10-year marriage with multiple women and some men — some that I knew from my work, who he had in our house when I was deployed.”

7.“I dated this girl a few years back, and I became really good friends with her brother just because he appreciated my help during a difficult time for their family (their father had abruptly passed away). Then, two years into the relationship, the brother contacts me and asks to meet up for coffee and a serious conversation. HE caught his sister with another guy, and this had been going on for, like, a year. As soon as he found out, I was told. I broke up with her, but I’m still friends with her brother. Go figure.”
8.“I got a call at 2:00 a.m. from his wife, who lived in another state with his three kids. He had recently moved to my town for work. He was also visiting his family at the time of the call. Little did I know that he was visiting his mom, as well as his wife and kids.”

9.“She came home from work one day, put her purse on the kitchen chair, and it fell on the floor and spilled everything out, including her burner phone. I picked it up and asked what it was; she acted like she didn’t know. It only had one number in it, and it was his.”
10.“I found a bag with sex toy packages and an empty bottle of Listerine hidden in the garage.”

11.“He had proposed to me that morning. He said he had to go into work to cover a shift, but when he didn’t call me for his dinner break, as he usually did when he worked that shift, I got worried and called him. Someone else picked up his phone, explained that the ‘Guy whose phone this is, yeah, I think he went up to a room with his girlfriend, we have it down here waiting for him.’ They were at a hotel. Turns out he used it as an excuse to sleep with another woman he knew and had been seeing each other for a while; she was married. The next morning, he came to pick me up so we could take our parents to brunch and announce the news, I refused to go with him. In hindsight, I should’ve waited until we were all at brunch and he had paid the bill to confront him for the free food, but I was young and dumb.”
12.“I suspected she was cheating, so I catfished the guy I thought it was with and got him to confirm it. Then, I dumped her straight away.”

13.“I was with my ex for 10 years, married for three. He was never particularly loving but became increasingly distant over the years. One day, while usingourlaptop, I found a group of bookmarked tabs titled, ‘Links to the United States.’ It opened up hundreds of porn pages. That was weird enough, but at the bottom, there was a Yahoo email address under some ridiculous name I’d never seen. I clicked on it, and it was already signed in. The inbox was full of emails from websites like Ashley Madison and Chaturbate. I looked in the sent messages and discovered he had also been soliciting women on Craigslist with pictures and videos under this alias for seven years. I was able to log into all the websites he used — he never changed his passwords — and found conversation after conversation with these women. I even found his OnlyFans subscriptions; he paid women hundreds of dollars from an account I didn’t recognize. When I confronted him, he had no excuse.”
14.“My mom found a receipt for a couch and a bedroom set from a local store in my stepdad’s jeans while he was away for work. He told her he was staying in a camp on the job, so she was super suspicious. After confronting him, she found out he had been renting a house with another woman and had a whole other life with her — all while he was ‘away working.'”

15.“I used to work night shifts and, on one night in particular, got home just before 12. I tapped on his phone screen — it was charging on our nightstand — to see what time it was when I saw a message that said, ‘You know I hate being teased, but we have tomorrow.’ Of course, I opened the phone and read the rest. That’s how I found out that my husband of three months was cheating with our 1-year-old daughter’s babysitter. She lived in our spare guest room to offset childcare costs.”
16.“He had to tell me two hours before it was going to be on the local news. He was a law enforcement officer caught on video in an ‘establishment’ involved in trafficking.”

17.“While I was eating lunch with a friend, a mutual friend of mine and my husband’s called and asked if we had broken up because they saw him at a comic store making out with a girl. When I confronted him, he admitted it right away. However, he still denies it to his friends and family.”
18.“I came back from a trip four hours early. My wife was still supposed to be at work. I opened the front door to see her sitting topless on the couch, making out with a coworker. He ran out the door; she ran into a bathroom and locked the door. I sat on that couch for about an hour because I couldn’t think of what else to do. Finally, I just up and left, so she could come out of the bathroom and put a shirt on.”

19.“My boyfriend finally convinced me to have a threesome after months of begging. I agree, and our mutual friend comes over. Things get hot and heavy, and when he starts having sex with her, he moans, ‘Damn you feel even better than usual!’ Everyone freezes. He tries to tell me that he was thinking about me while having sex with her and that it just felt different, but she felt so guilty that she confessed on the spot and begged me to forgive her. We don’t really talk anymore, but last I heard, she had been dating my ex for over a year.”
20.“A couple of weeks ago, I sent a message to a mutual friend asking to borrow a router. He didn’t answer, butno worries, he lives nearby. I’ll just stop by and grab it,I thought. I pull up to his house and start heading down the driveway. He has a long country driveway, so it’s a few seconds before I see my car (I drive a company vehicle during the day), already there. My heart began to sink, but he and my wife are friends and business partners, maybe it’s nothing. I got out of my van and looked up to see him shirtless in his bedroom.”
" At this tip , my heart is down on my stomach , and I am visibly sway . I go in and immediately lead upstairs . He is alone , now clothed . I say , ' I came to borrow the router . Have you get word my married woman ? The automobile is here . ' He then proceeds to give the worst improv I ’ve ever heard . ' Huh ? No , she was here at some item , though . ' Whatever , I know she was there , I just wanted him to admit it . I go down , take the router , and head back to the van , where I finally encounter my wife topless , trying to hook around the side of his family . And now here I am . "

21.“I woke up to her on her phone with hearts scrolling in Facebook Messenger. We had been married for seven years at that point, with two kids. It was my birthday.”
22.“I caught my ex thanks to Pokémon Go, of all things. She mentioned Pokémon Go was using lots of her data. I explained that she could see how much data an app was using in her settings. I showed her and proved it wasn’t by pointing out Tinder was using much more data… The way it went down was sad but also funny.”

23.And finally, “On Christmas Eve, I went into the computer to find a photo for a last-minute gift, an ornament with a family photo I did for her as a tradition every year. Instead, I found a love letter from some guy at the gym to her. Then kept looking and found tons more. Over the next year, it just got worse and worse to a point you’d never believe. Gosh, that was a fun Christmas for me and our young children.”
