The Most Bizarre Ways People Found Out Their Partner Was Cheating On Them

The truth will always find a way.

It may take days or even decades, but cheaters are always exposed.

Exposed in many ways, actually.

But scandalous secrets always explode.

And the heartache is always real.

Redditor marinababeok wanted to discuss how cheaters have been exposed, so they asked:

"What's the most bizarre way you found out that your SO is cheating/not totally being honest to you?"

15 Miles

"My ex lived in an apartment 15 miles away. The night in question at approx 1 am, a neighbor of hers accidentally fired a round while cleaning his gun. The bullet went through their mutually shared wall, through another, and lodged in her refrigerator.
The cops were called by another neighbor and she ended up with a police report and stuff."

"I ended up reading the police report and it mentioned her and a guy's name I didn’t know were reported in bed at her place at the time of the accidental discharge. She confessed right there she had a f**k buddy. 1.5-year relationship down the drain."

Finding Earth

"My Auntie heard from her hairstylist that her husband was cheating on her. She found the address of the affair partner and went on Google Earth. Her husband's truck was in the driveway when Google Earth had taken the picture."

Out of Town

"A colleague of mine was out doing shopping when she ran into a family friend who happens to be a police officer. She asked how he was doing and he said he was good but that he was tired because they had been out all night looking for a car that fled from a known drug spot."

"He mentioned that they never found the suspect but that during the chase, the suspect's car hit a curb and lost its front bumper, so they were on the lookout for a white sedan without a front bumper. Later that evening, her husband returned from an 'out of town' business trip without his front bumper. He had a white sedan."

Sandy

"Many years ago I was visiting my GF in her city, we were long distance. She had a roommate, we'll call her Sandy, who was one of her best friends. One night, we had all gone out with some other people, drank, and had a good time, and we were back at the apartment asleep. Sandy had still been out when my girlfriend and I crashed."

"I wake up to my GF's phone ringing. Quickly grab it to make it stop. The screen says Sandy is calling. I didn't hesitate at all, answered her phone, and thought maybe Sandy was locked out or needed a ride. Who knows? On the other end of the phone was a man, looking for my GF. I'm like, who the f**k are you, he, likewise wants to know who the f**k I am. My girlfriend finally wakes up to me basically yelling at this dude on the phone."

"One huge messy fight later. 'Sandy' on the phone was the guy she was always texting. And regularly f**king, mind you. She saved him as her best friend's name so she could freely text in front of me so I wouldn't be suspicious. Pretty slick tactics."

Hey Jason

"In an argument, she insisted that I randomly changed my opinion on Mike and Ikes because I used to despise them, and now I suddenly love them? She was going on about something related to me hating the texture (chewy candy is my favorite) and wouldn't drop it."

"I always absolutely loved Mike and Ikes. Even though they're overly sweet and kinda cheap, they're delicious. They're an import item here in the UK you have to buy somewhere like Costco, so it's often a rare and pricey treat. So obviously very strange that my girlfriend of seven months doesn't know this about me, or has it wrong. I thought she was either psychotic or trying to gaslight me, but it was worse than that."

"The other thing is though, I realized when hanging out with one of my coworkers he said that he was absolutely disgusted by jelly beans and all other chewy candy when I offered him some. That's when it hit. She got us mixed up, and she'd been f**king him the entire time. He didn't know either, so we broke up with her and are still friends to this day. Sometimes he reads my posts, so hey Jason!"

Family Interference

"There's an awkward conversation, but good on her."

"Although I am imagining a more awkward situation where she drags him in by his ear and says he has something to tell you and makes him confess. :) "

Last Night

"My fiancé got drunk one night and started talking about how much she enjoyed the sex we had last night. I was working last night…"

Chaunceymb

"If she was drunk she probably didn't have a good grasp on time anyway."

- Delicious_Subject_91

"Yeah, I’m sure he confirmed it later, but for anyone else, if your partner is drunk and gets details wrong, I wouldn’t immediately assume cheating. Like in this case, she could have been trying to think of sex with her boyfriend and just got the days mixed up due to being drunk."

Hello to You

"I got a bunch of creepy PMs on Discord and on Reddit. Stuff like 'I have a secret that would change your entire world' and 'If only you knew what went on behind your back.' When I confronted the person and asked what they were talking about, they just went like 'I can't tell you' or like 'How badly do you want to know?'"

"Turns out my (now ex) BF was f**king some chick he met online who enjoyed stalking. If you found my new account, Hello to you."

In the night...

"A girl I hardly knew called me in the middle of the night and said she had just seen my long/long-term boyfriend’s car at the trailer house of a gal who was newly divorced."

- yepstillinthedark

"I once saw the boyfriend of a girl I barely knew on Tinder. I screenshot it and thought about it for a day or two because I really did not know this girl like that. I even stalked her FB profile to make sure they were still together, and she hadn’t posted anything recently but she also hadn’t taken any stuff with him down. I ended up telling her and hoped and prayed she didn’t get mad at me. She was so sweet and thankful, I felt for her, but I’m so glad I made the right decision there."

Mother's Day

"Needed to send my mom something for Mother's Day. Was thinking out loud when my husband suggested a specific online gift basket company. That man, to my knowledge, had never ordered a gift basket in his life. I bought all the gifts for our family and our business. Went into Quickbooks and searched for the name of the company. Found a Valentine's gift basket sent to a bartender at a place we sometimes stopped off to together after work."

Freeway

"Drove past a motel as I was on my way home from visiting my parents in another city. Some of the motel room doors faced the freeway, and just as he was stepping out of one of the rooms, I happened to glance over as I drove by on the freeway. He was wearing his distinctive motorcycle suit, and his motorcycle was parked right there."

"He looked back into the room and was talking and laughing just as he stepped out/just as I saw him, so I didn’t think he saw me or my car. I never revealed to him that this was how I found out, but he confessed when I said I knew he’d been unfaithful."

Be a Pro

"We went to the same college. He was emailing me an assignment to look over for him to make sure it looked professional. I noticed the email was in a woman's name. He had forgotten to let her log off of his computer. That made me suspicious, so I waited until he was asleep, went on his phone and got solid proof, sent it to myself. Kicked his a** out of bed and to the curb."

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!

"My boyfriend at the time wished me happy birthday randomly one day in July. My birthday is in April. He tried to play it off as a joke when I was confused, but I later found out that he was still seeing the woman that he claimed was his ex, and he had our birthdays and other info in his calendar to try to keep everything straight. He slipped up and wished me happy birthday on her birthday."

NAMES

"The dog was playing with a notebook, didn’t look like a diary or anything. I picked it up. The first page had a list of names, but I didn’t recognize some of them. Her ex was before my name, my name was before someone else."

She SWORE

"The wife went on a business trip that she SWORE was on her own. Called her hotel room late one night, no answer. Called the hotel front desk and asked if they could connect me to name-of-someone-she-worked-with, and they put me right through. He answered the phone, and when I told him to put her on, he handed it to her."

See there, the truth will find a way.

Being cheated on is one of the worst feelings in the world.

And then to make people amateur detectives at the same time is just cruel.

The very least cheaters could do is not gaslight others.

And when you're caught, be a decent human about it.

How much do you want to bet most of these people still never learned a lesson?
