People Spill Dirty Details About The Time They Caught A Liar
34. Drove 5 Hours Home Without Saying A Word
“I was young and she was my first ‘love’. We got along really well, everything clicked. We met while I was working at my local climbing gym, I was teaching her class and we eventually went out. She was about to go to college and we thought we could do it. I said goodbye to her and told her I would visit in a couple of weeks.
The time comes for me to visit her and I’m all packed to drive 5 hours to the mountains to see her. I texted her I was coming and everything was planned perfectly, she said she was really excited to see me. I arrive and text her that I’m here, I had done a tour of the school that summer, so I knew where her dorm was.
I go to her room (had the address so I could send her things.) and find the door cracked. Note here that I had texted her when I arrived and she responded with come over. I peek inside and there is this dude hooking up with her. He looks up and smiles and keeps going. My girl, however, flips out and pushes him off saying things like ‘it’s not what it looks like’ and ‘I promise this was the first time.’
I didn’t even give her the decency, I said nothing.
I walked out of that room, got in my car and drove 5 hours home, and never spoke a word to her again. It hurt really bad, we climbed 14000 ft mountains together, talked about our future, cried every night before she had to leave, all for nothing.
She texted me 100 times and I’ve never replied. I saw her at the grocery store the other day back home, she was bagging groceries.
I now work in IT and am very successful for myself, I worked hard. She, however, wasted her college time partying and eventually dropped out (know this from social media). We made eye contact and she said ‘OMG, ialwaysmessup, you look awesome! I’m so sorry for what happened 6 years ago, I was younger and stupid.’ I let her bag my groceries without a word and left. I just smiled, she still doesn’t deserve my time of day.”
33. Got A Lot Of Money After I Told On My Abusive Partner
“I had been diagnosed with 4 tumors, while in the ER. The next day my partner sent me to radiation oncology by myself for further testing. Okay, I thought he’s saving his PTO for when we really need it… fast forward several months, and my car needs a repair so I drop it off at the dealer and go get his truck so I can go to treatment, again alone.
I find cards from the other woman and sticky notes that say ‘smile somebody loves you.’ I knew for months this was going on just a gut feeling, he went to work on diagnosis day to hang out with her, not to save PTO.
So after my appointment, I had the ignition re-coded on his truck, ordered new tires for it, purchased a new bedroom and dining room set, bought myself, my friend, and her family a trip to Jamaica, and paid my divorce attorney, charging it all to his credit card after calling to let the card company know about some large purchases.
I also stopped by the bank and cashed out the home equity line and of course the hardware store to buy new locks for the house.
I proceeded to force him to file bankruptcy during the divorce after finding he dropped around 100k on Trailer Park Barbie from work. Once that was done I clued my health insurance in on some incidents he admitted to causing in a police report and they sued him for all of my medical bills for it, he has to pay the bills.
The absolute best part though is as an accountant he had to have his exact half of my retirement account, all pre-tax money, meaning I got my exact half of his retirement account… it was Roth and I wrote the QDRO myself to take all Roth money first.
But wait there’s more, the judge made him pay for my student loans.
Ultimately, don’t cheat on a woman for years and lie about it because she’ll kick your butt and have fun doing it.
In a community property state, I got 96% of everything. He still lives in her rusty trailer and they have a horrible relationship, sad, not sad.”
32. Our Phone Bills Revealed My Wife's Uncontrollable Calls
“We were married and had our toddler daughter along with my partner’s 10-year-old son and her 15-year-old daughter from previous marriages living with us. I worked out of a fairly isolated, dedicated home office running my own company as well as doing remote contracts for 2 other companies. I was both the stay-at-home Mr. Mom taking care of the kids and working up to 16 hour days while she worked a regular 9 to 5 job.
I started noticing some suspicious activities, mostly with people from a neighborhood association she was involved with, but her activities with 1 person in particular (let’s call him ‘Tom’) started to be more and more blatant.
Her teenaged daughter asked us for a mobile phone (this was around 2007 so it was still a big deal to give a teen her own phone) and since she was a really good and very responsible kid, we agreed.
I gave all of the usual warnings about responsible usage and that I will be watching the phone bill.
I managed all of the household bills as well, so when the first phone bill came after we had given her daughter the phone, I actually read through it instead of just checking that the amount was within the expected range and simply paying it. I was shocked at the number of minutes that were used! The charges were within reason, but this was on T-Mobile in the days of their ‘My Five’ that let you talk to 5 numbers that you register without incurring usage fees.
I immediately went to her daughter’s number to see the usage and was surprised to see that she hardly used it at all! I looked at my number and it was even less useful than our teenager. Then I went to my wife’s number and there were over 1,000 minutes of calls to ‘Tom’. She even had his real name as the label for her My Five!
I confronted her with this and she denied that there was anything going on, and claimed that it was all ‘business’ for the neighborhood association.
The next month, our bill went through the roof! I looked at the details, and again her daughter and I were hardly using the service. She, however, had over 1,000 minutes now to ‘Unknown Number’ which, because it was not part of a My Five list, was now counting against our usage. In case you’re wondering, no, my ex-wife was not a member of our local brain trust…
I finally got her to admit that something was going on, and she promised to end it if I gave her another chance.
A month later, I finished my workday at about 23:00 and walked upstairs to find her intoxicated and passed out in the hallway outside of our bedroom, with her phone unlocked and lying next to her on the floor. (She also had a WICKED drinking problem, by the way.) I picked up her phone and looked at it and it was open to a text conversation with ‘Tom’, where she talked about how much she loved him and how she was so happy that he could come over and hook up with her while I was working downstairs in my office. I left her the next morning.
After we split, I ended up with sole legal and physical custody of our daughter after she wrecked her car with our daughter in the front seat while driving under the influence.
My daughter and I are now living in another state, and I’m engaged to my high school sweetheart (35 years later) whom my daughter absolutely adores.”
31. Husband's Side Chick Intentionally Left Her License In My Car
“I was married to a man who cheated multiple times on me. I was with him since I was 15, and was a hot mess of a girl with low self-esteem and one daughter with one on the way with him. Somehow, I was stupid enough to think once we moved in together and then married, he loved me and he was happy with just me.
Fast forward to me being 7 months pregnant with our second daughter. He was acting funny; suddenly wanting to be around work friends, which he never ever really had any friends, period. I was annoyed because it was getting more and more frequent. One night, he rolled home at 1 am. Threatened to leave me because I was ‘overreacting’.
He wound up going out on a Saturday night.
I knew something was wrong….even drove to where he claimed he would be and didn’t see his car. Never came home that night…pulled in at 8 am. Wouldn’t speak to me until the afternoon, when he announced he didn’t love me anymore and he was leaving. I still had no idea he had a side girl until he took off to Florida (from NY) and an ex-coworker of his told me.
It was an ex-coworker who knew I was pregnant and gave him all sorts of $$ and dinners and hotel rooms. She was still living with her parents in her late twenties and was one homely girl.
I tried to stay together. I was devastated. Went through a ton of counseling (he had major issues from his childhood). Two years and another daughter later, we were getting lots of crank calls but it was a new number and I didn’t really think about it.
My husband was working all sorts of odd hours late, but not unusual in the medical field. One day, I find an even homelier chick’s driver’s license tucked in between our seats. Come to find out, she had been sleeping with my husband for months and was sick of sharing him and wanted me to find out. He tried in vain to say she was trailer park trash but ‘nice’ and he wanted to work out his marriage. That was it for me.”
30. Husband's Ex-Wife Slept With The JAG Officer
“So, he’s in Iraq. He’s married (to the ex-wife). She’s a bee with an itch, but we’ll get to that. He’s been bouncing between Iraq and Afghanistan for almost 4 years straight (Rangers lead the way! ALL THE WAY!). Finally, after about 23 IED ambushes and stuff on the roads (not to mention countless street battles, both Battles of Fallujah, etc), one finally does him in.
He gets royally messed up manages to chase one of the instigators down, helps secure the scene with a backup who had arrived, and doesn’t even realize he was hurt until one of the guys says, ‘Hey, uh..you need to sit down.’ ‘I do?’ ‘Yeah, uh..We’ve got this, just hang out here and try and relax a little.’ So he sits and promptly blacks out. He gets rushed to Baghdad International Airport, which then gets him on his way to Germany.
He flatlines once or twice en route to Germany.
Back in the States…silly woman (aka the ex-wife, aka witch – are we detecting a theme here?) is about to be notified of her husband’s near-death injuries and that there’s a plane on base getting ready to be able to take her straight to Germany. They knock on their door on-base housing. No answer. The neighbor says, ‘Hey, try three streets down.’ They do.
JAG officer answers the door like the jerk he is. Silly Ex-Wife comes out of the bedroom wearing a sheet asking, ‘Hey baby are you coming back to bed?’ The Battalion Chaplain and Battalion Commander place him under arrest immediately, tell her ‘Hey, your husband is on his deathbed and we thought you’d want to know there’s a plane waiting for you, but unfortunately, you need to get your butt off this base immediately.’
A couple of weeks later, he is served divorce papers while he’s laid up.
The person who served the papers lied to get on the base, so after the Marines and soldiers on his floor beat his butt for having the temerity to serve him papers while he’s recovering from messed up nonsense, he gets arrested by federal personnel.
The JAG officer is now in Leavenworth serving a sentence of 25 years of hard labor. The ex-wife is still a bee with an itch, but she’s turned Mormon now, so I guess all’s forgiven in her messed-up world.
And her mistake gave me my best friend and husband.”
29. Girl Went To The Comfort Room To Delete Chunks Of Texts
“Back in high school, I started to go out with a girl seriously for over a year before the relationship started to become rocky. I expressed concern over a guy that she was hanging out with and had repeatedly asked her to not hang out with him because of many reasons including him inviting her over to his house to ‘hang out.’ She kept saying they were just friends.
Eventually, it got to a point where I was sick of her defending this guy who I knew was just trying to get in a taken girl’s pants so I told her to give me her phone. But as if it wasn’t already suspicious enough, she said she had to go to the bathroom quickly and ran to the nearest girl’s room. She came back later and gave me her phone proclaiming, ‘You’re not going to find anything, we’re just friends!’ I looked through her texts to him and notice a large chunk of texts that didn’t align with responses like her saying, ‘What are you thinking about?’ then him replying with, ‘lol.’ Clearly obvious that she deleted texts that she and he were sending each other.
I didn’t have any proof until I scrolled far enough up to find the beginning. The point where he said this, ‘You always talk about how you look bad unclothed, but maybe if I saw you I could convince you otherwise.’ This made me mad! She defended him saying it was just an innocent text. Obviously, we broke up almost immediately. She texted me later saying she was sorry and that she ‘lost me’.
Almost two years down the drain because she couldn’t keep it in her pants for a new guy that gave her secret attention. It’s been over a year since then, I’m in my second year post-secondary and she tries to talk to me from time to time, the last time of which resulted in me telling her to stop texting me and her blocking me after she told me that during a break that we took for her to focus on her mental health, she kissed that same dude. Overall, high school relationships are dumb and now I only hook up or shake it off.”
28. I Was The Side Piece In A Marriage
“The guy was an old partner from high school, we were together off and on. When we were off he would go out with this girl Kelly, and when we broke up for the final time he went and married her. Almost a year after we broke up, I was back in town on summer break from college and ran into him at my summer job.
He gave me this sob story about how Kelly wanted a divorce and was taking his kid from him. I (stupidly) believed him, we exchanged numbers, started talking daily. He invited me over to ‘his’ apartment, showed me his divorce paperwork, and ultimately things got hot and heavy for a couple of weeks.
One day I swung by to pick up a pair of earrings I’d forgotten the day before.
His best friend from high school answered the door. I asked if the guy was around, a best friend said no why would he? Turned out Guy was actually house-sitting for best friend, it wasn’t his apartment. The best friend also informed me that Guy and Kelly were in the process of BUYING A HOUSE, their marriage was fine.
I was livid and disgusted. I went to work the following day and in walks Kelly.
I ask her what she’s doing later that night and if she’s available to talk. We meet up after I get off and I lay it all out for her. She teared up a bit, but ultimately she was angry. She gives me their address and tells me to show up there unannounced the next day.
I do and Guy is white as a sheet trying to get me to leave. Kelly shows up and they end up in a screaming match. So Guy ended up getting divorced and settled with a chunk of child support. None of us talk anymore. When I think about it, I have to shower at least twice.”
27. Partner Gaslighted Me For Months To Keep His Secret
“Not my spouse, but basically was to me because he was my first serious relationship (high school sweethearts), father of my only child, and about 8 years of being together off and on after losing touch in high school, plus a lot of shared hardship. So after I had our son, one night he wanted to go drink a bit at a mutual friends’ house. Ok cool, besides obviously not wanting to bring our infant son around a bunch of people drinking and whatnot, I don’t think I was really up to it anyway, so I tell him to go ahead and have fun and I’ll see him later.
Turns out that’s the night he met the chick he’d be cheating me with, let’s call her VJ.
Anyway, life goes on, I meet her, y’know ok cool he’s got a new friend, whatever. Well due to some incredibly stupid nonsense my S.O. at the time did my mom kicked him out from where we were living and had to move in with our mutual friend mentioned before.
So even though our friend was extremely helpful and caring during that time, giving me rides to and from his house so I could see my ex and try to have some family time with him and my son, moving there gave him a lot more time to get closer to VJ. And I noticed. I’d ask if there was anything going on, and I was always ‘making something out of nothing.’ This would be a good time in the story to mention I am diagnosed with a couple of mental illnesses (that of course was used to mess with my head about all this), so I tried my best to ignore all the little things I noticed and trust him, even though it was noticed by others which led him to get kicked out of the friend’s house and was slightly confirmed by VJ’s FB being left open on a laptop one day.
So he gets kicked out of the friend’s house and has no choice but to move in with VJ. I still try to see him and have family time, but I am starting to lose my mind because I KNOW stuff is going on and all this nonsense had been going on for about 3 months up till then. I even hooked up with them because in my mind maybe that would make it end even though it’s still being denied.
I was so messed up about it.
Then the day happens that I just can’t handle it anymore. I’m pulling my hair out, crying, and laughing when I hear the same ‘it’s nothing’, so he threatens to call a mobile crisis team and have me committed. In this pretty much psychotic break, I was having I B & E into one of my vacant childhood homes, get intoxicated, and take all the repressed feelings (which turned out to be a ton) out on this house.
Cue VJ coming by a couple of hours later to ‘check on me’ and actually started to break nonsense with me. Then the cops come, and being intoxicated and seeing how scared VJ was acting I took the blame for everything and said VJ had only gotten there shortly before they did and was ONLY checking on me which worked out fabulously because that’s EXACTLY what she had told them as soon as I walked away to talk.
So get taken to jail for 2 felony charges & get out on pre-trial a few days later. Walk to friends’ house from jail and wait 20 mins for them to get home for them to tell me a mutual friend of mine and VJs finally admitted that yes, VJ and my ex were hooking up. I’m so mad.
So we ride to VJs house to confront him and he answers the door acting soooo relieved that I’m back and he’s missed me soooo much.
I just put up my hand when he tries to hug me and ask if my son is with him. He’s with my mom. Basically, besides me trying my best not to go back to jail that night, I tell him I know, he tells me it’s ‘been going on for a few days’ and ‘it just happened’ was the answer I got when I asked why.
To avoid me dragging VJ out of where she’s hidden he goes and gets her, she says it’s been ‘just happening’ for a few months instead of days.
A short time later full of other nonsense, I go home. I’m so torn up from all that I can’t eat or sleep and just drink booze every now and then to try to cope and maybe sleep while taking care of my son and am more and more drained every day because he refused to watch our son so I can rest.
This goes on for about 4 days until the 4th night. I fall asleep while watching my son for a couple of hours, wake up, freak out a bit because he was by himself crawling around but seems fine at first. But after maybe 30 mins I notice he’s spitting up some white stuff and looks like he has the chills. I’m re-freaking the heck out because I have no idea what could be causing it as everything possibly harmful is completely out of reach so I call an ambulance to have him checked out and get ready for the hospital.
The EMTs show up and smell some booze on my breath and call the cops. I’m now about to go back to jail because for some reason this cop says I said my son ate poison until the EMTs corrected him. Instead of jail, I get committed and my son is put in foster care. A lot of shady DCS nonsense and about half a year later after trying to give my ex a second chance, he signs over his rights to my son and moves to a different state because apparently, he knocked up VJ during all this. There’s a lot more to everything with a sad ending.
Btw to answer an obvious question why I didn’t leave or whatever, one of my diagnoses is BPD, and it’s pretty extreme for me if that sheds some light.”
26. 53-Year-Old Man Proudly Showed Us His Video With My Friend's Partner
“We were both about 20 years old when this occurred. Young, fit, handsome, the world was our oyster. He was engaged to an attractive fool that we will call, Starscream. Now Starscream had all but forced Friend into this engagement, but to top it off she required not just an engagement ring for herself, but also that Friend had to get a TATTOO of an engagement ring on his ring finger.
He willingly obliged, despite the voices of reason raising a cacophony in his head.
Myself, Friend, Starscream, and a 53-year-old troll of a man who we will call Shrek all worked at the same establishment. Shrek also happened to live in the same apartment complex that we all did, and despite his trashy demeanor and persistently awful breath, was an ok drinking buddy to empty some cans with.
One night, Myself, Friend, and Shrek end up playing a few too many games of Devil’s Triangle (the fake drinking game, not the hooking up). Shrek ends up getting pretty emotional at one point and tells Friend that he has something in his apartment that we really need to see. We all stumble over to his place while he slowly sets up an old digital camera to play on his tv.
He looks very proud of himself when he finally gets it working and presses play with somewhat of an intoxicated grin plastered on his face.
I will die with this image burned in my brain. We are immediately blasted by the image of his nasty, hairy, sweaty, more gross adjectives body hooking up with none other than Starscream. Shrek never even looks at the tv while this is playing, but is instead smiling at Friend with a look that says ‘Can you believe this bro?’
He could not.
Friend immediately walked out was dead inside before he hit the threshold. Shrek seemed confused by this reaction, as he was an idiot.
I wasn’t there for the breakup that followed, but I think it was like seeing a person that had just opened their eyes for the first time in a few years. I was just happy to have my friend back. We don’t talk about this anymore.”
25. Found Out A Secret By Comically Insinuating It
“So, when I was 17 I went out with this really lovely, beautiful girl that attended the same school as me. She was a year older but was in the year under me because her family had moved to the country when she was 13 and so she was catching up on different courses.
We had a really nice relationship for a couple of years. I was more of a ‘home-body’ than she was and so the main dispute in our relationship would be her wanting to go out with me and her friends and me wanting to stay home with her.
I quite liked going out but not every weekend nor several days in a row. It just makes me feel awful.
Anyway, we’re good, going strong. Our intimate life was great. Her family situation was quite a bit more volatile than mine, however: her father was a really hard drinker and was living in what seemed like ten years prior, always exercising control over the internet, flipping his lid.
It might seem to me in retrospect that he felt he had so little innate control over the family that he would exercise control where he could, which worsened with his drinking.
Anyway, we get into a fight, we’re angry. We agree to take a few days off to spend time with each other just to think things over. Two days later she calls me up, asks to come over.
She’s apologetic about the way she handled it, I say there’s no need to. We handled it civilly. We’re back together.
That day we took a break, it was over me not wanting to go to my friend’s party which was approximately 40km away, and as such, I figured the taxi fare would be too much; I wanted to stay at home, she wanted to go.
We’re back on, going strong.
Fast forward to next weekend, I’m hosting a party. We’re all there, my guys, her girls, we’re having fun. I had a couple of mates call me up asking if I wanted to partake in smoking, I told them to come over, they told me they’d be right there and told me to come out.
Upon seeing my two friends I know something’s wrong. My one mate just looks shameful and sad.
I’m like ‘what’s wrong buddy? something happened?’ and he just deadpan stares at the ground. I at this point kind of feel it’s got something to do with me. I say, ‘It can’t be that bad mate, it’s not as if you’ve “been” with my girl, haha’ and the silence intensifies.
I’m pretty mortified at this moment. So, turns out when my other friend hosted the party, the day my girl and I took a break from seeing each other, she’d gotten wasted and they’d hooked up in my other friend’s parents’ bedroom.
And I found out by comically insinuating it myself.
I told him to pucker up, that he was getting punched in the face, I didn’t feel that it would be right to, so I didn’t.
I went back inside, I asked her if it was true, she said it was. It wasn’t the first time she had cheated – she had once cheated in her home country and had told me when I asked on one of her particularly morose days (I knew it had to do with our relationship and that something was wrong).
We had then worked it out but I was just done with the whole thing at this point.
I asked her to leave, she left. I and the homies (and homegirls) drank for the remainder of that night.
My relationship with my friend has never been the same since that. It’s somewhere around six or seven years on and I’ve tried spending time with him but I kind of just resent him.
We were really, really good friends prior to this. I’ve told him I’ve forgiven him and I understood why he hooked up with her; she was hot, they were intoxicated. But it’s just how it is. I don’t want him as a close friend of mine anymore.
Anyway, my girl and I tried working it out but it just wasn’t the same. I was kind of pathologically trying to mess up her relationships by hooking up with her when she was in them after that. I feel really bad about it.
The best advice I could give is to just move on.
Now I’m in a wonderful relationship with a lovely lady that I’m really happy with.”
24. Partner Went Through My Diary So I Made Out With My Classmate
“I had a long-distance partner in high school. We had been online friends for years and in the middle of grade 12, finally admitted that we liked each other. He was a total sweetheart and was one of the first people who just treated me like they respected me and loved me. So I was ecstatic when he moved to my town for university.
Within a month of his arrival, I was realizing we should have never become romantic partners but was too attached to know what to do about it.
He was still a total sweetheart, but he basically treated me like a friend he hooked up with instead of a partner. Plus, he was one of those guys that had a group of female friends, most of whom had crushes on him, and he was assiduously conscientious of everyone’s feelings. So he didn’t want to make anyone upset or jealous. So he didn’t touch me in public, despite talking at length about how he was going to marry me.
On top of that, the hooking up was awful and horribly painful, but every time I tried to gently teach him or otherwise imply that he wasn’t doing well, he would start sobbing and beg me for forgiveness that he couldn’t please me. 18-year-old me had no idea how to handle that so I just pretended I was enjoying it. I was stuck in the retroactively absurd position that many women find themselves in at that age where they accept pain and mistreatment in order to avoid hurting the feelings of the person inflicting it.
It also really made me sour on the thought of being intimate with him for the rest of my life.
On top of that, out of some misguided sense of feminism, he also decided that he would never objectify me at all. So every compliment would be about my personality or achievements. In theory, this sounds great. But when I spent an hour getting ready, had zippered myself into a bombshell dress and actually put makeup on, getting an ‘oh, you have such a beautiful mind’ response wreaked havoc with my self-esteem a lot.
I was convinced he thought I was ugly but was too kind to say anything.
Cue a classmate, who on the first day of class, stopped when he saw me and gave me a very obvious appreciative once over. The dude sat next to me for the rest of the term, blatantly flirting with me and telling me I was pretty. Me, still primly trying to keep things going with my man, because I loved him, started feeling horribly torn.
It was extremely hard to ignore someone who was so blatantly attracted to me, but I managed it for about five months.
Then my man went back to his hometown for winter break. He spent the entire month going to parties and hanging out with his friends – we talked every day but it was mostly him telling me about how much fun he was having. All of my friends, both old and new, had left the city for the holidays, whether it was for vacations or back home and I was incredibly lonely and depressed.
Sometime near the end of the break, Flirty classmate discovered that I had been alone all winter break and started inviting me to hang out with him every day. I was ecstatic with the attention, but still kept it to ‘just friends’ hangouts and basically avoided touching him. My man, by this point, had started looking at my classmate with suspicion. My man came back from winter break, jealous and suspicious.
He stayed over one night and questioned me at length about it. I told him, truthfully, that I hadn’t done anything with a classmate, and while I liked him, my man was my partner and he was all I needed. I got ready to go to class and left my man in my room to let himself out when he was ready. As I was leaving, I had a sudden tickle of intuition.
Turning around, I went to the kitchen, made him some breakfast, and brought it back up to my room, on the pretext of surprising him. Open the door.
My man is going through my diary.
Cue screaming fight. He wanted to ‘make sure’ I hadn’t done anything. I was enraged that he had invaded my privacy – at that point, I took my writing really seriously and my diary was extremely important to me.
I was also enraged because I had been so careful to be a proper partner and not cheat or do anything inappropriate with my classmate, even though the temptation was strong. (I couldn’t avoid my classmate entirely – we were in the same class and were grouped together for a big term project prior to winter break.)
I stormed out and went to class. My classmate was immediately aware that something was up and cornered me to figure it out.
Angry with my man, I confessed everything. Classmate asked if I liked him. I nodded. My classmate kissed me and I kissed him back.
It went downhill from there. Classmate really was a jerk, but he was average in bed – which, unfortunately, made his leagues better than my man, who was terrible. He also fed me all the attention that I had been craving from my partner and had not gotten.
I couldn’t figure out how to end it with my man, because I still loved him and I was still an insecure, scared 18-year-old who had no communication skills. My man ended up finding out within a month or so because he went into my email account and read all my chat logs. When I went to apologize to him, he slapped me across the face and told me that losing my mother as a kid had messed me up too much to deserve anyone’s love.
So yeah, not sure if I didn’t dodge a bullet there. Not happy with my own behavior, but I’m not sure how else things could have played out given how insecure and terrible at communicating I was. Haven’t cheated since and it’s been 10 years.”
23. She Broke Up With Me The Day Before Our Anniversary
“My first long-term partner of about a year and a half cheated on me. She was my first love, and I was madly blinded by my feelings. Towards the end of the relationship, I could feel this strain. This gut feeling something was up. I came over one day to her house and she was in her hot tub with her friend that we will call Nicky.
Along with her older brother’s friend, we will call Jim. We all went to the same school (me, my significant other, and Jim). I didn’t find it strange they were all in the hot tub together, it was the fact her older brother was nowhere to be seen. He had just been ‘hanging out at the house.’ She gets out, her friend leaves, and we go off to our side of the house.
The night goes well but, I have that strange sickening feeling. Well, that feeling only grew stronger throughout the weeks.
Everything seemed fine besides that feeling I kept writing off. We reach the day before our year and a half anniversary. So that night I’m sitting at my house when I get a text. It’s her. She sent me paragraphs, on paragraphs. I thought it was gonna be something long, and heartfelt since our anniversary was the next day.
It was heartfelt, but not in the way I wanted it to be. I felt it in my heart for sure. It felt like my heart was an anchor, and it sank deeply into the sea that was my stomach. She dumped me over text the day before our anniversary. I broke down. I felt like my chest was shattered like cheap china hitting cement. I could not breathe.
I had class the next day with her. I had this whole thing planned for our special day.
I go into school the next day, barely keeping myself together without breaking down in tears. When I walk through a corridor towards my first class. That’s when I see my now ex and Jim together. Holding hands. When they saw me they looked away. That was what hurt the most. I got to my class and sat down for five minutes. After that, I got up and left. I went home. Locked myself away for a week. Was barely eating. Could hardly keep saltines down. I just couldn’t believe she could do something so ruthless like that.”
22. My Partner's Best Friend Must Be Me
“In high school, I was going out with my ex for probably 3 years at that point. He was in a criminal justice class and had made a few new friends. One of which was a female. I was protective at the time but I didn’t want to be that girl, so I didn’t say anything about it. Fast forward a month or so. He talks about this girl all the time, calls her his best friend.
I tell him that makes me feel uncomfortable. He says ‘well you should get to know her, she’s awesome.’ Decide to message her on Twitter and introduce myself and get to know her, thinking maybe she’s not that bad.
I tell her who I am and she introduces herself as my man’s best friend. I say ‘well I don’t really think that’s right, I’m his partner—I’m his best friend.’ She didn’t like that and got an attitude with me.
I told my man and he made excuses for her.
Fast forward another month later, he’s been distant and picking fights with me. That weekend I was with my grandparents at our favorite local restaurant because my grandpa wasn’t doing too well and I wanted to spend as much time with them as possible.
I get a text from him saying that we needed to talk. He said he would call me after dinner.
Obviously, that made me nervous so I went into the parking lot and called him. He said he wanted to take a break and that he wasn’t enjoying our relationship anymore. I said ‘it’s Abby, isn’t it? Are you cheating on me?’ I had to get it out of him for about an hour. But finally, he admitted it and told me they openly had feelings for each other and would hug and kiss at school.
They went out for a month and then he broke up with her to get back with me and then I was with him for another 2.5 years… He was the worst 5 years of my life.”
21. Woman Won't Stop Pestering Our Relationship
“It wasn’t accidental. I was suspicious when out of nowhere my husband said that maybe we should get an annulment out of nowhere (I admit I’m not the perfect wife but he hadn’t voiced any concerns to me). I kept asking him ‘what are you not telling me?’ This coincidentally happened around the same time he was talking to a girl he was friends with from high school for 12 hours a day.
I didn’t think anything of it because we were in Japan and she was in the US. After that day he didn’t bring it up again but I was suspicious. So one day when he left his laptop opened I decided to do some digging and found messages between him and the girl saying I love you etc. She also encouraged him to cheat on me, not knowing all he would be able to get were women cheating on their deployed husbands.
He didn’t even bother to stop when I called him out and said he needed closure. Finally, it stopped when her fiance found the photos she sent him.
Fast forward another year and the witch came back, this time she added literal insult to injury, despite never having met or even talked to me. This time I took matters into my own hands and did something that could be considered illegal and told my husband I had no sympathy for him when he was worried about possibly getting in trouble. That was 2 years ago and she had the nerve to contact my husband a few months ago and send a picture. Woman, if you’re so unhappy with your husband, get a divorce and move on.”
20. Ex Got Passed Around To Every Other Guy After We Broke Up
“So obligatory I didn’t catch her, but others did and I was totally oblivious. Even blowing them off when they told me.
Literally, my first relationship when I was in high school. It started with simple things like her texting other guys frequently ‘just friends’ so I didn’t think anything about it. Then friends started telling me that they saw her sitting on other guys’ laps, letting them grab her butt and stuff.
But I didn’t believe them because when I confronted her she denied it and said my friends were either lying or didn’t actually see her. In hindsight, I was a pretty big jerk to some friends and burned some bridges over this.
Then my nonsense meter finally started going off around the 6-month mark when she went on a weekend-long church trip and wouldn’t stop talking about this one guy in the weeks leading up to the actual trip.
She convinced me I was being crazy and promptly used that as an excuse to ignore me the entire weekend.
She comes back, we make up, and it’s like the argument never happened. However, she makes it a point multiple times to tell me these ‘hilarious’ stories about her friend. I wouldn’t learn until later that she literally hooked up with that guy the whole weekend.
So a month passes, I sleep with her for the first time (I incorrectly thought it was her first time too) and things seem great then she starts acting worse, no intimacy at all unless she’s feeling guilty or turned on.
I know something is up but I can’t put my finger on it. So I do the dreaded cellphone snoop.
I find that in addition to my texts and her friends there is a rather long record of texts from that guy from the church trip. Months of texts, even after she told me she stopped talking to him. The conversations are patchy too, like when it looks like the texts are going to a flirty tone they abruptly stop mid-conversation like someone deleted them.
Then I scroll further down and find multiple unclothed photos and videos she sent to him, and the ‘manhood’ pics he sent back. Felt like someone kicked me in the stomach.
So instead of dumping her on the spot, I mention it to her. She denies everything and to her credit, she lied like a goddamn pro. It was an accident, she meant to send them to me.
He accidentally meant to send his pics to his (fake) partner. I bought it because I loved her.
We still went out like 4-5 more months and she gets more ‘promiscuous’. Flirting with multiple guys, hanging out with other guys instead of me, getting mad when I catch her, and I ask her to talk to me. It all culminated with me asking her a simple question and in return, she screamed at me so loud it quieted the classroom and she dumped me via text that evening.
The worst part is that she did the scummiest thing you can do after a break-up. She led me on for like 3-4 months. Any time I would think she was interested in me she would shoot me down but keep me within arm’s reach while I was having to hear stories about how she hooked up with a guy on her way home from school literally the day we broke up.
The worst part was when I begged her to go out with me to the football game, she agreed, and when I meet her near where we were supposed to meet I see her making out with some guy letting him grab all over her. I break down hard, to the point that the guy she was making out with sent one of his friends to ‘kick my butt’ but after I explained what happened between unmanly sobs that guy and one of my friends walked me to my car and talked me down until I was calm enough to drive.
She started going out with the guy she was making out with the next day.
It took me over a year to even get confident enough to think I was ready to see other women again. She did some serious damage. However, now I’m happily engaged to a girl who is amazing and who I know wouldn’t cheat (if she did I’d drop her in a heartbeat).
As far as what happened to that girl, we grew up in a small town so I know what happened. She went out with that one guy for 6-8 months, starts cheating on him, was single for 2-3 months and got passed around to some of the football team, and even tried to get back with me around the time I graduated but I had moved on for a long time. Last I heard she was married, however, I wouldn’t be surprised if she was cheating or in an open relationship based on her history.”
19. Relationship With Messed-Up Partner Gets Taken To Court
“Happened like 4 times which sounds bad but either I have a good reason or I’m an idiot.
This all happened while we were living apart but trying to make it work.
First time: I forget how long, but maybe a month we weren’t hooking up because she was unhappy with me. She caved and told me she’d been cheating with some guy.
Second time: the same guy, she saved his number under a name of both her brother and sister-in-law like they had 1 phone to share.
She was acting odd again and with my already existing insecurities, I see her phone unlocked and go through texts. Sure enough, there is a contact with 2 first names. I see texts, and it’s definitely the guy, plenty of pictures, and incriminating texts.
Third time: she was acting odd again about her schedule (she doesn’t have one, she doesn’t work) so I confront her and she asks me to leave because her uber is arriving soon, and I’m like Nah.
Sure enough, the dude pulls up in his truck and she leaves me in tears on her driveway. This one was bad for me
She apologized; breaks down and realizes she is all messed up in the head and was making a mistake. especially after that last one, I couldn’t really handle it anyway tried to make it work for a few months but couldn’t. Then she loses it when I get a new partner and scares her away over FB and other stuff.
We talk and get back together because I guess we love each other and we still have 3 kids.
Fourth time: not even a month later she’s acting odd on schedule again and a few days prior she asked me for my address and said she accidentally sent that text to me and it was meant for her sister. A few days later she leaves her phone unlocked with Netflix playing.
Naturally, I open it up, she’s met a new guy on the internet and there are some bad texts again. Of course, the address question was meant for him and inside their convo apparently, they have had a date and hooked up. I slid her phone to her with that text open to her while in the kitchen and left.
About a year later after me seeing other women a lot and finally meeting a nice girl I wanted to settle with, she did the scare away tactic again over social media.
The girl I was seeing just screenshot the messages from my ex at the time and never replied to me again. Then I found out my ex was starting to date instead of just have casual hookups. This scared the life out of me and made me go back to her to scare off her loser soon-to-be partner. And I’m with her to this day. Also, she’s currently up to a pack a day, 15 drinks a day, it’s impossible to get her to quit.
That’s about where I’m at now.
Background in case anyone is wondering about why I am or appear to be so foolish.
I met her at a bar when I was in college. Basically, she’s much better looking than me so I was hooked, and I’m kinda a computer dork so she came with some baggage I didn’t know about until later. We got pregnant with twins very quickly, I bought a house and took care of everything (she never worked and hasn’t since).
We then had another child, none planned but it happened. We had ups and downs like what I thought was normal. After 4 years, and 3 kids she decides she needs to leave me, she’s tired of me ‘poisoning the AC vents’, ‘mind-controlling her’, ‘starting a baby army.’ She has horrible addiction problems, when I first met her she was clean for over a year, she started drinking heavily but was able to stop it while pregnant both times.
She would still smoke from what she said down to 1 or 2 smokes a day while pregnant.
We went to court, I brought in tons of evidence about her drinking, substance abuse, mental illness including a 5150 she has on her permanent record, also she had no place to live and no income. Her dad paid for a house and lawyer for her and then the court awarded her about $2500 a month (California) along with 80% custody, I got to see my kids every other weekend and Wednesday nights.
I always wanted to be a father, the kids meant the world to me and she never wanted to be a mother, even got the word cursed tattooed on her arm when she found out she was pregnant with her first daughter that’s not mine (whole other story there I won’t even touch). This was hard on me, I thought I had a slam dunk case but, booze is legal and her mental illness was no relevant because I ‘trusted her to watch my kids while I was at work, therefore, I can continue to do so.’ They didn’t care that she kept them up until 2 am every night (including me) so they would all sleep in until noon to 1 pm and I’d be home around 3 or 4 pm so she never cared for them long.
Most nights she would leave to go to the gym after I got home because it was ‘my turn.’ The twins were 3 at the time so no school and I was able to parent them 7 days a week, not a neglectful insane person. The court doesn’t care.
I went back 2 more times to court to get custody. With the insane way they calculate support because she has no income and they take so much away from me I switched weekends with her 2 times (documented) with other weekends so I could work weekends out of town on a consulting job.
She claimed I never made up the time and now I’m making more money so they made my custody down to 10% from 20% (which changes support % on DissoMaster) and re-evaluated my overall income and raised my child support to about $3500 a month. All in all, I was always really nice to her so I would come over at least 3 or more times a week and try to make my family work.
After getting railed in court through and through I can’t play that game in CA and even worse the county I’m in according to my lawyer is a bad place to be for a dad. Also what I was told be admissable evidence is 2 things that could help me win. 1 would be a dirty substance test, well I haven’t been able to catch her because this stuff is out of her system so fast and they only do pee test.
And for the booze, I have to have a police report stating she is belligerently intoxicated while in charge of the kids with no other adult present. Kinda a hard one to get. She honestly doesn’t get that visibly intoxicated too often, she just drinks from the moment she wakes until the moment she sleeps.
All in all, she’s a self-loathing addict and her version of watching the kids is her and her brother smoking on the patio while they take turns walking inside to get another drink.
I’ve seen it too many times first hand. She even does this today while she lives with me. Also, she’s not interested in them doing any sports or music or any extracurricular activities. She just lets them exist. The one thing she did is begrudgingly get them dressed and out the door for them to walk to school in the morning before she immediately goes back to sleep even though she has always had a car and could drive them.
Now that’s all on me.
We got back together because she started going out. I saw a pic of the dude who she was going out with, he’s tatted up his neck and all over I assume, a scraggly beard, and a freshly picked face with overall bad hygiene. Now maybe he’s a super nice guy I don’t know… but her track record for dudes is not good.
Her other baby daddy couldn’t get any custody other than court-supervised because he can’t pass a substance test. Not that I’m all that great but she won the lottery in comparison to getting with me. BUT the best case is the dude is ok and he gets to raise my kids 10 days out of 14. Not ok with me. The most likely scenario is a fun season time ends and reality sets in and she offers 4 kids, 2 baby daddies, no income other than child support if that still goes on because I’d probably just die if it came to it and no work experience, dropped out of school in 3rd grade and no marketable skills.
Sorry but I’m guessing not many people would stick around for that unless they knocked her up like me and at that point she only had 1 kid. So then he leaves and so does the next 5 or 10 or however many guys pass her around. My kids get to witness this and think it’s normal which wouldn’t be great for my twin daughters and I’m a minor influence at best. Yeah not ok with me so now I’m with her warding off as much nonsense as possible.”
18. Can't Say Stories With Ex Didn't End Well
“I and my first longtime partner used to hang out with fellow car aficionados (ok, ok, street racers, I admit it) on weekends. My girl, ‘M,’ had been getting obviously friendly with this guy, ‘D.’ who kinda hung out in the same group. A few friends of mine were starting to ask me what was up. Guess my 20’s testosterone-ravaged brain didn’t really want to think anything was up.
She -was- a damn hot chick to come home to, after all, and ‘D and I are just friends.’ I kinda thought she was out of my league but was enjoying life.
I worked 7-12 midnight at the time M-F and sometimes Saturday afternoons. One Friday night I decided to pay the overnight guy a few bucks to come in a little before 11 pm for me and left for the 20-minute drive home.
I wanted to surprise her and go out earlier than the usual time because the bars closed at 2. Hmmm. White Camaro at my house. Looks like D’s ride. Yep, it is. All the lights were out. You know by now what noises I heard from the back bedroom. She was a bit of a screamer. For real. I went to the open bedroom door quietly, turned on the light, and caught them in the act.
She said ‘But but (expletives here) you’re at work! I hear you talking right now.’ (she had the radio on) (I had recorded the last hour of my show instead of doing it live. Yes I was a DJ at the rock station in town). I had some pretty twisted fun playing extra, extra nice to them undressed. I suggested maybe they should both leave NOW and kicked them both out.
Her brother came over and got her stuff. I ghosted M after that. I had found out after I kicked her out that she had a third guy. She’d been sleeping with this dude for a couple of years. Her older sister ratted that one out to me. Yikes. Wish the sister would’ve ratted M out way earlier. Meh.
I met A right after that first relationship blew up in my face.
Should’ve known better. Rebound relationships aren’t the best thing to get into. In retrospect, I found out she was cheating on husband #1 with me. If I’d known, I’d called it off right then. The wrong brain was still doing all the thinking. Fast forward a few years, got married, no rug rats yet. We were living around 6 hours from her hometown. A friend I used to work with was in the navy and begun to sometimes come over on weekends to hang out.
He was several hours away. His job was teaching the nuke sub guys and girls who run the reactors in those boats how to do their jobs. Serious security clearance stuff.
One weekend A’s brothers and sister came over for the weekend and J also came down from where he was stationed. I had to work the next day at 10 am so I went to bed while they all continued to party at the house.
When I got up the brothers and sister had all left abruptly sometime overnight. A said she wasn’t sure, some emergency back home really didn’t want to talk about it. J was still there looking like a very happy puppy. Stupid me just totally missed those clues.
A had also taken to driving home on weekends ‘to see her family’. I tried to call her a few times one weekend and mom had not seen her.
Called the one brother I was friends with. He said ‘Look man, I gotta tell you, you really need to look (name of the town where J lives) if you want to find her when she says she’s coming home. We all left the other weekend when we saw her and J all over each other with you in the other room asleep. Sorry, dude!’
It’s late in the afternoon after that call and J lives about an hour away.
I drove down and there’s her car. Took time-stamped pics of it and the house and mailbox with the address on it. Came back early the next morning and did the same, establishing they had spent the night under his roof. That automatically makes it adultery under that state’s laws. Called a divorce attorney Monday and got her served. HE calls a friend who is a JAG at that base!!! Ka-Boom.
Someone lost their sec clearance and a few other things. I guess A moving in made it worthwhile in his world.
I kinda get my life back together with the help of a local pub that I made a –lot– of friends at. Got a quick divorce. She waited until 2 days too late to file against me. Oopsie. By pure coincidence, I had received a quite large inheritance right after the divorce was final.
Double oopsie. Bought a new house with some of it. This is relevant in the next paragraph.
About 8 months later, I get a phone call on a Saturday morning while I’m at work. (I should preface this by saying anyone who calls the studio line of a radio station has a pretty much 100% chance of being recorded by the on-air personality. This was 20 years ago when live radio was a bigger deal than now.) It’s A! Lucky me.
A and her sister were thinking about coming to town since J is supposedly out to sea for a couple of weeks. Wanted to crash at the house and ‘hang out’. Uh-huh. She misses me hugely, etc. This went on for a few minutes. She had married J by the way.
I finally dropped the hammer and said, ‘Look, there is no way you are ever, ever coming to my house again.
Do not call me again. Bye.’ Click. Finally, I had closure and a recording. I called their house a few weeks later one night and J picked up. I was hoping for this. He wasn’t happy I called to put it mildly. I played the entire phone call to him. Got cursed at vehemently for it. Told J she would burn him too. Turned out I was correct.
Anyways, I found out through the grapevine that she had a kid some 9 months later after calling me up. Whoa… I dodged a huge bullet.”
17. Husband's Online "Businesses" Drove Me To Cheat On Him
“I was in a dud of a marriage. I married too young and against my better judgment. My husband was a controlling and repressed man who did not respect me and I did not respect him.
I found out that my husband was on the internet and talking to women online attempting to solicit meetups. He was actively seeking to cheat and the only thing stopping him from taking it to a physical realm was the fact that none of the women were interested in him.
We worked on our marriage over the years to try to resolve his online cheating, but he’d always start up again. Eventually, I got so emotionally worn out by it that I just didn’t have it in me to care much anymore.
I met a man at work who I was instantly attracted to on a mental and a physical level–something I’d never had with my husband.
We started out with harmless conversations and became work friends. We then found excuses to text each other when not at work. We’d grab lunch together here and there…at first with groups and then with just the two of us. I couldn’t wait to go to work every day and see him. I thought about him all the time. I knew I was heading toward the dangerous ground but I didn’t want to stop.
We started flirting and I began to sneak away from home to meet up with him for hikes, dinner, you name it. I met up with him for hours at a time on evenings and weekends, and my husband never really noticed because his attention was always occupied with his friends or his online chats with women.
My friend from work and I were always careful not to make physical contact, until one day in his car when he leaned over to help me with my jammed seat belt and he kissed me.
It was the most amazing thing I’d ever felt in my life.
Over the next few weeks meeting up to have dinner turned into meeting up to find a secluded spot and make out in his car. Then that eventually turned into more. I could not get enough of this guy.
I felt tremendously guilty the entire time because I never thought of myself as the type who would cheat.
I came clean with my husband before my affair progressed any deeper. I broke off the affair and agreed to try marriage counseling. I quickly changed my mind when during the course of an argument (I didn’t want to go to his church and he wanted me to) my husband told me I wasn’t allowed to have any unsupervised visits with my family or friends anymore.
After I told my husband I wanted a divorce, he attempted to destroy my life. He tried to get me fired, told all the neighbors and everyone at his church what happened, posted our business on Facebook tagging my friends and family, you name it. He also threatened to ‘beat up’ the guy I had been cheating with which, honestly, would have only ended up in severe embarrassment and injury for himself.
It didn’t take long after filing divorce papers for me to hook back up with my friend and officially start going out with him. My husband harassed and threatened us both until my man called his bluff and then he just sort of faded out.
My man is now my husband and we have been together for 10 years and going strong. I love him more than anything and I respect him more than anyone I’ve ever met. I would never dream of cheating on him and I feel confident that he’d never cheat on me.”
16. Friend Went From Anger To Pure Heartbreak
“Not mine but a good friend’s, and I also witnessed this. Friend (let’s call him Ted) was going out with this girl for about 6 months and things seemed to be going smoothly. Unfortunately, a friend of ours got hurt in a bar brawl and we all witnessed it happen. Ted was extremely torn up about the entire situation and we decided to have a friendly gathering at his house, where his girl, myself, and his roommates invited some friends to drink.
The girl states that she is going home and presumably walks back home at about 2 AM and then we all go to bed.
Well, come next morning we are all getting up and getting ready to head back to visit our friend. Ted has barely slept but is trying to get everyone rounded up so we can ride together. One of his roommates (let’s call him Danny) has presumably overslept and Ted decides to go wake him up.
The next thing I know, I hear Ted yelling his head off threatening to hurt Danny, so everyone runs into Danny’s room to find Danny and Ted’s girl while she is still unclothed trying to deny everything. We end up having to get Ted out of there before he hurts them and he cries.
Unfortunately, about 6 months later the heartbreak continued when our friend passed and Ted’s mother died all in the same month. Last I heard he was in a local mental institution trying to get some help. I’ll never forget that though, just the way he went from anger to pure heartbreak.”
15. Found Out My Partner's Secrets Through His Ex's Blogs
“I just had extreme anxiety and random thoughts of it. He’d never want to spend time with me, he’d actually beg me to go out with friends. He’d use the bathroom for long periods of time while he had his phone with him. He would make the contents hidden on notifications. He couldn’t get it up sometimes even, or when I’d throw myself at him he’d decline and say he didn’t feel like it.
I found out via the girl’s home wrecker blog. Entirely dedicated to tearing me down as a person. She was his ex, from about 4 years prior. She called me pathetic. Gloated about how he’d naughty text her when he’d be with me. ‘He puts me on a pedestal you could never dream of reaching’. It has been the most devastating time of my life seeing as how it was around our anniversary, and around when I miscarried (I was a few weeks along), and right by my birthday.
It’s been almost a full year since everything has happened, and I hadn’t found out until months after everything had even been cut off so he could change himself around for the better of the relationship. I still have many issues and I’m hoping to seek counseling but I get nervous about even calling for it because it makes me feel as though I’m not capable of being normal.
I hope people currently going through this have the strength to reach out before you get to my point where I’m too scared overall to seek help because I’m afraid of being judged. If you can make it work with whoever wrongs you, in one of those rare cases, I wish you the best. And if you decide to move along alone I also wish you the best. There’s no wrong option because you know what you can forgive and not forgive.”
14. She Always Ran Back To Her Ex
“So there was this girl who I had been friends with and she and I liked each other before and we never said anything about it but it didn’t bother us much when we both found out we had felt before. But we were pretty close friends. She ended up going out with a real jerk, like thinking he’s all tough and says he’s beaten up someone twice his size (oh did I mention that I didn’t give a damn).
But anyways she and I have normal conversations Bc I respect when someone is in a relationship. Then I got added on a snap from her man. He’s flipping out on me for talking to her. Then I’m arguing back saying I’m allowed to be friends with her and all this other stuff. Then he screenshots the chats. Calls me out on his story. And then I get adds from his other girls who I know he’s screwed with and other guys threatening to hurt me.
I told her about it and she felt awful. Then fast forward to later on.
They were going through tough times. And I get a text from him saying I should watch out. Now fast forward, later on, they broke up. She and I started talking. And we were good for a while. But then we started to go through rough times and we took a break.
Then we get back together. But one day she ended up going to his house. Like okay, I was a bit bothered because she never told me. Then one day she is talking to me at a football game and said he was a jerk to her.
Of course, I was angry because I take that stuff seriously and don’t tolerate that stuff. So I went kind of wild.
Called my one ex cuz she and I were decent friends still and she had a man which I’m glad she’s happy with. But anyways. I tell her what happened and then all the crying and hurting turned into anger. And I started to make threats and saying other things. I wanted to beat the heck outta this kid. I wouldn’t care if I lost a fight because it would’ve been my first fight and at least I was protecting her.
My ex does therapy and goes to the guidance office regularly for personal reasons. After a little while, she and I officially ended. She was acting weird when she dumped me. And I was hurt but never realized how weird she was acting when she left me because I was just so hungover from being hurt. But then months later I get texts from a few of her friends.
Saying she’d always talked about missing him. And that he hadn’t been a jerk to her…they were hooking up and she enjoyed it.
Here’s where I was stupid for…. 1. Taking the situation too seriously 2. Getting with this guy’s ex 3. Feeling bad for her 4. Calling my ex and telling her nonsense. But like yeah. Just a little story I wanted to point out.”
13. Heard From A Kid Outside The Door That I Wasn't My Girl's Only Man
“Meet girl in high school. She’s a senior, I’m a sophomore. We’re both on drum-line, and spend a lot of time together during practice/football games. She was in a relationship, so just friends. Fast forward a couple of months, they break up.
We started going out shortly thereafter. I was ecstatic. She was the first person I had such a desire to know, to fully understand. I was head over for her.
She shows up late to a band practice one day – her ex had begged to hang out with her after he drove her home for some reason. I was dumb; this sounded believable. We had only been going out a pretty short amount of time, so I let it go.
We spend the summer working together, hanging out constantly, and cherishing every moment before she goes off to college.
We start playing WoW together while she’s at school to have an activity to do together. We talk every day, FaceTime/Skype every night. I visit as often as I can. Everything is going great – I find a major I want to study, graduate a half year early and join her at college.
At this point, we’re over two years into our relationship. College is different. I’m a Music Therapy major, with not a ton of free time outside practicing and studying.
I make quite a lot of friends who are of the opposite gender, and she becomes their friend as well. After a year I could tell she was frustrated with our dynamic. School was stressful – I admit that I prioritized my grades over extra social activities she wanted to attend (3.95 GPA worth it). In my mind, we were still in a good place.
I go home for the summer to do summer school.
She’s not happy about this. Strains our relationship. Partway through the summer, I read a message from her high school friend that detailed ‘sharing me with other girls’ something that definitely had never happened, nor something I was interested in. I call her and confront her – she’s not sure why she was talking to him, just liked the attention.
It’s a weird summer and I don’t trust her at all.
I get back to school and we start again on the honest ground. I try to make it work, but definitely developing some trust issues. The year goes by so fast, and I’m happy after a while. I spend as much time as I can with her; every lunch, evening, weekend, and walk between classes. I have to live in the dorms and she lives off-campus.
There’s a whole new group of new students, one in particular who joins our friend group.
Fast forward to the next summer. I go home to do summer school at the same community college. I visit her at least three times. She and the new friend start hanging out a lot… Eventually, she doesn’t have much to talk to me about.. those phone conversations when you can tell the other person isn’t interested.
Her family is having a family reunion for a week-long, and she invites me.
I drive the 5 hours to get in at 2 am for the weeklong reunion. Her roommate had been having a party. I enter and get introduced as her man. We immediately go to her room as she’s trashed, and I’m tired. She wants to hook up, but she’s so intoxicated I’m not into it.
She cuddles me and falls asleep. I can hear the kids in the living room say ‘if that’s her man, who was that other guy?’
The friend had been there at the party and bounced before I got there. I stay up with my thoughts trying to make sense of what I heard.
I confront her in the morning. She says he’s just a friend, like a brother to him, that our relationship is in such a good place and that everything is fine! I let it go.
She invites him to the family reunion events during the week, Boating, etc. I meet all of her extended cousins for the first time, play tag, and hide and seek with the younger kids on Thursday. Was actually a blast.
The next day we’re supposed to go over and drink at a friend’s house. Halfway through the night after a few drinks, a friend tells me she hadn’t been honest with me.
That I needed to talk with her. At this point, I’m angry. I confront her, yelling in frustration.
She cries and cries and tells me we’re done. Because… I yelled. And she can’t forgive me. Denies anything that the friend had eluded to.
I drove back to her apartment. Didn’t sleep. Packed up all of the things I had left with her; TV, furniture, etc. And drove home.
I have to admit I cried pretty much the whole way home. I don’t think I’ve ever felt something so painful.
When I get home, I learn she hadn’t been honest throughout our whole relationship. When playing WoW, she shared unclothed photos with two of our guildmates. She wanted to hook up with that friend from high school. Learned from a mutual friend she and the college friend had shared a hot tub together, and a bedroom at her grandparents’ house that summer.
Pretty much made me question everything I had experienced the past 4.5 years. I honestly didn’t know what was real or not. I played back every day of our relationship back in my head, torturing myself over all the times she lied. Who knows how many times she actually cheated on me.
She moved in with a college friend, and they started going out – surprise, surprise.
I spent the summer recording an album of music to truly express the overwhelming depression I felt. Tried going back to school but dropped out after two weeks due to depression. Moved back in with my parents and spent the semester recording more music, and trying to figure out what to do next.
I enrolled back at the university the next year. 8 months later I started going out with one of our mutual friends, the one who told me about the hot tub. We’re still together; together for 6 years, married for almost 3. She taught me how to trust again, for sure.
I found out she cheated on the college friend with her friend from high school – as we ran into him and he called me his brother (the quality guy for sure).”
12. Ex Took All Of Our Pets With Her
“I was going out with this girl I’d known for years, and we were together for 3 years. I took a job at a restaurant as a cook that was extremely taxing on my mental health, and I eventually got fired. The day I got let go she went to a party with some of her friends from an online community here in ATX, and ended up hooking up with this guy and lied to me about it.
The next few weeks I knew something was up but I couldn’t place a finger on it, and in a moment of weakness I looked at her Apple Watch while she was in the shower and saw everything.
It destroyed me. Physically and emotionally, but I couldn’t bring myself to break up with her or confront her with what I had found out. I started smoking again and staying late at a new job just so I wouldn’t have to go home and pretend that I was okay.
My birthday was on Thanksgiving that year and so we had a Friendsgiving the day after, and none of my friends were able to come because they’re all cooks too and didn’t have the day off, and she invited the guy that she slept with to my birthday/Friendsgiving. At this point, she knew that I knew but hadn’t admitted to what she had done, or rather whom.
I pretended to be the nice supportive partner who loved all of her friends.
A few weeks later she looked at my phone convinced I had cheated on her and found nothing but some texts between me and a coworker about work. She woke me up by hitting me and screaming that I had broken her heart and all this stuff, and I couldn’t hold it in anymore.
I told her I knew everything about her and the guy and her attitude immediately changed. She knew she had been found out and leading me on for months for security and safety because she knew I would do anything for her.
What followed was a lengthy and difficult break-up, and we don’t talk anymore. What sucks most about it was that she and I had so many pets. Like 2 dogs, 2 cats, a bunch of guinea pigs, and a hamster, and she took basically all of them with her, and that I lost my best friend along the way. I live alone now and sometimes it gets so quiet I forget that I’m here alone.”
11. Girl Forgot To Log Out Of Her Facebook On My Phone
“My ex and I have been going out for probably 6 months up until this point and it was my first relationship. First kiss, first everything. Unfortunately my first heartbreak.
I never partied in high school and one night she said she was going to a party with some mutual friends, she didn’t invite me probably because I’d have said no anyway.
I just had a nasty feeling all night and through the morning.
I tried to call her and text her the next day but got no response till she texted me on her friend’s phone because her mom found out she went to a party and took away her phone LOL.
Fast forward to the next Monday when I see her sitting with a mutual friend. It was weird and I still had that gut feeling, but it didn’t really bother me.
He was a nice dude, we had AP Chem together. After I walked up to the left and my ex and I started talking about our weekend and she asked if she could borrow my phone to check Facebook, she did and handed my phone back and we went to our classes shortly after.
Well like I said I had a gut feeling so wrong or right I checked Facebook on the off chance she stayed logged in…she did (oops) so naturally I looked at the recent messages and they were to that same mutual friend…
They talked about how happy she was to hook up with him and how great the party was and a whole load of other really heart-wrenching things.
I confronted her about it civilly but just about lost it when he walked up and asked what was wrong. I just told him to leave.
During lunch that day she wrote me a really nice letter apologizing. I tried so hard to forgive her and almost did until about a few weeks later she told me ‘I’ve cheated on you multiple times and can’t help it, it’s just part of me.’
It’s been years now but we are civil. It was just an awful high school breakup.”
10. Developed Serious Trust Issues Because Of A Selfish Girl
“I learned the biggest lesson of my life after being in a long-distance relationship for almost 6-7 years.
It takes a lot out of you when you put everything into a relationship and contribute to a person’s future and still see no loyalty from them.
My ex cheated on me not once but twice. Yes, I was a fool to have forgiven her once.
The first time I caught her cheating was when I had called her up late one night.
I usually could understand that something was wrong as her phone was busy during the late hours of the night right when she said she would be sleeping. I found out she did and was playing the double game as she was getting the emotional stability and all the help from my side and the other from the guy. After getting caught she owned up about how that guy blackmailed her that he would die without her and all that nonsense.
This broke me. But I was yet to learn another lesson. I supported her since that incident and then she being totally hungry for only money and not a success, flew to another country to study for higher education. There was no hunger for knowledge but only money. She took the decision before even asking me once. This was my value in the relationship. She slept with a guy and like before I had to force her to own up.
She said she was intoxicated and wanted me to believe this would not happen again. She tried for a year.
I faded away from her as I could see myself going into the darkness. It took me a year but I slowly cut away all connections and yet she wanted me back. Eventually, she stopped trying. I was in total depression and my views on people changed. I had done more than most in her family had done for her. From finances to studies to help to everything. But sometimes no matter how much you do it is never enough.
Learned a lesson to never trust anyone I am suspicious of. Made me cold forever. But for good.”
9. Learned About My Partner's Lies Through My iPod
“We were both stressed out, her for job reasons and me for health reasons. Definitely in a rough patch but I thought things were fine. Until they weren’t. I brought it up and we apparently couldn’t work it out. So that ruined my world but whatever. I had to still live with her until I got my things packed (almost everything in the apartment was mine, but we split rent and I had another living option).
Found an iPod I won at work that I let her use since I didn’t have any Apple products and she did. Screw this, I’m erasing it and keeping it. Well, it was linked to her account and mirrored her phone. In her messaging app, I saw she was talking to this guy, who was her friend and coworker, and her best friend that the guy lived with.
Apparently, she had been ‘getting close’ with him since they started working together which was about 8 months at that point I think. She also has had a crush on him since high school. She was telling both of them I was being such a jerk (I genuinely wasn’t, I was so depressed I barely talked to her let alone had the energy to be confrontational) and I was taking all our (read as MY) stuff with me.
Texts with him were about how she wishes she could stay at his place instead of here because of reasons, blah blah blah. She could have, honestly, and I wouldn’t have thought it was weird she was there.
I erased the iPod, woke her up the next morning, told her I needed to switch all the account payments over to her card and I was going to move out that day.
When I finished with that, I gave her the iPod and told her that I saw everything she had been saying about me and everything that was going on with him and proceed to have the angriest and loudest verbal outburst ever.
Maybe catching her hook up with some dude would have been worse, I don’t know. She most likely was cheating on me physically too. But knowing that I was being so emotionally neglected after everything we had and all I’d done for her like she didn’t care, while already getting semi-serious with another guy has really destroyed me.”
8. Caught A Woman Coming Out Of My House Carrying Lots Of Stuff
“I walked into my house after being out of town for business as his side piece was scurrying out of my house with armloads of stuff. I blocked her exit and told her if she was in my house with arms full of stuff she owed me the decency of answering any questions I had. She looked terrified but must have figured she couldn’t outrun me bc I’m sure she saw my marathon medals in the house.
Unsurprisingly, she told me nothing but lies..
I told her I hoped they’d be very happy together and that my in-laws were fantastic people.
She was practically giddy talking about how wonderful my cheating husband was. And on the surface, he was – successful, wealthy, good-looking, great shape, MBA, great in-laws, etc. I tried to warn her as graciously as possible so she wouldn’t think I was being bitter (she wasn’t the sharpest knife in the drawer) that he had issues with anger that she needed to be very wary of.
I don’t think she even heard me.
Truthfully, as shocking as it was to see a car in my parking space in the garage when I pulled in and saw her, I immediately felt like a weight had been lifted from my shoulders because it answered every doubt I’d had for quite a while.
I was so desperate to get out of that marriage as quickly as possible after that I agreed to terms of the divorce that were grossly unfair to me financially (I left with nothing after 17 years) despite my father urging me not to which was a big mistake.
Still, I was better off mentally and emotionally getting that divorce. The money wasn’t worth the turmoil – I just wasn’t thinking clearly or strong enough at the time. I tell every woman I know getting a divorce to go for half and that they can give money back after it’s settled if they really feel like they don’t want it. Actually, I’d tell a man that too.”
7. Broke Up With My Girl During Our Intimate Time
“The first one I caught accidentally when I let her use an old phone temporarily while her phone replacement was being processed and shipped through insurance. I in turn broke my phone and had to fall back to my old one. Turned it on and decided to see if there was anything I wanted to keep off it before I wiped it with a factory reset to clear up space.
Cue me finding text messages from contact ‘BofA’ that didn’t seem to be from a financial institution. Also some interesting ones between her and our roommate.
I had the day off and proceed to start drinking and trying to figure out what I should do. My name’s on the lease for the apartment and car. They can’t afford either if I’m not around. Don’t know if there is any way to get out of both clean.
She comes home and is surprised I’m drinking and decides to join the party. I’m playing it off still unsure of an exit strategy when she breaks out some bars which is a great way to turn me apathetic and remove filters both for actions and speech.
We end up in bed together. I’m hooking up with her when I whisper to her ‘do you know what I stumbled across today?’ No response from her.
I stop the act and blurt out ‘Do you even know who is hooking up with you right now!’ Cue her snapping out of the intoxicated barred-out stupor with outrage from a place of false fidelity and virtue.
Using some unkind words I let her know what I found on the phone I had let her use. She tries to lie and say it’s not what it looks like.
Then switches to it’s my fault because of x, y, and z. I go to leave and she says that I can’t leave and blocks my path. I move to go around and she punches me in the face. She is more stunned than me as I walk around her and leave.
Turned out to be a very unclean exit. Credit and rental history are terrible along with some mental and emotional damages.”
6. Fiancée Cheated On Me With A Man She Met On A Game
“I came back from selling plasma after working a 10-hour shift at my manual labor job. I could barely walk without stumbling. I nearly passed out and drove my truck into oncoming traffic, nearly causing a head-on collision. It was another horrible Thursday in my nightmare of a life, but at least I had a sweet, loving fiancée to come home to. I just hoped she wasn’t doing a WoW raid or something that basically was a mechanism to ignore me lol.
I came home to a note saying her mom had picked her up. This wasn’t uncommon. She got bored sometimes since she was home all day and didn’t work.
While she was gone I decided to use her PC to exchange some items between our Diablo 2 characters (we had just started playing it together) and I realized she left her email open. I went to close it, but something unsettling caught my eye.
I clicked on it… tons of convos and unclothed photos and stuff. This was my high school sweetheart, the person I bled and sweated for. She was having some sort of weird online relationship with her WoW friend who lived across the country.
She ‘stopped’ after I tearfully confronted her. It wasn’t a fix for our relationship though. Our ‘engagement’ went stale, and I spiraled into depression.
I lost my job, lost my apartment, lost everything, eventually lost her (to which she got in another relationship almost IMMEDIATELY). She came forward in the end and said she had cheated in a lot of ways, with a lot of people online and IRL. She also had the nerve to tell me that she went to a bar and hooked up with a random guy she met literally the week we broke up.
We were together for almost 9 years. I dedicated nearly my whole 20s to this person. I worked like a dog to support both of us, thinking that it’d be worth it in the end. I didn’t need college or anything to advance myself – I had love and companionship perfectly waiting for me at home every day!
Yeah. I’m glad I’m less naive now. Good thing I don’t believe in love and marriage as I did anymore. I’ll rot before I try for a white picket fence.”
5. My Partner And I Are Both Cheaters
“Welp I was young and stupid. I was in a relationship where neither of us was happy but we were too attached or afraid to end it. He was working insane hours so we never saw each other and I just didn’t care for him anymore but I didn’t realize it until I met a friend of my roommates, we’ll call him Jim. He swept me off my feet.
Jim made me feel special in a way that I hadn’t felt in years. He put it in my head that my (ex)significant other didn’t love me or care about me and that I deserve better etc.
Eventually, this all leads to this weird pseudo-relationship, we talked constantly but never hooked up. Until one night after a bad fight with my partner, I fled to Jim’s house for comfort.
That night our physical relationship began. Jim made me feel wanted and he made me smile and laugh and I enjoyed spending time with him. It was a fun little secret at first but I knew what I was doing was wrong and I couldn’t handle the guilt anymore. I finally ended things with my partner and that is when Jim completely ghosted me. It hurt worse than the breakup, my support system and motivation to leave my partner of three years was gone because apparently ‘it got too real’.
I was naive and young and vulnerable, Jim came into my life when I was heading towards the end of my first serious relationship and I was very lonely. I hate myself for what I did until I learned that my significant other had been cheating on me for the entirety of our relationship and was waiting for me to leave so he could be with her. So I guess it all worked out?”
4. Secret Partner Tried To Make Out With My Best Friend
“Not my spouse but a significant other… Threw a house party to celebrate enlisting in the Navy. She and I were secretly seeing each other, as she was closeted. Secret partner and I make excuses to walk away from people to do canoodling and little smooches and the occasional naughty stuff throughout the beginning of the night.
Later, my best friend who I grew up with (and referred to as my brother) and I were playing guitar and I was singing a song I wrote for her.
Best friend hadn’t met any of these friends before, as he lived somewhere else and he was also super intoxicated. I go outside to the pool to check on everyone and hang for a bit. Someone asks me for a towel. I go inside and see the basement light is on, head down and secret partner is buttoning her pants and best friend is laying on the ground.
Me: what’re you doing? Her: Nothing, what are you talking about? Me: I’m not stupid. Her: I was trying to make out with Pablo.
I ran upstairs and told another friend to come to help me with something and then cried in his arms. Everyone found out about us and it was really dramatic.
I left every picture I had of us and every gift she gave me in a pile next to her.
I loved her too much to make her drive home.
Plot twist, I should’ve expected it because she was also cheating on her man but I thought she would leave him because we were so in love. I thought I was special because I wasn’t a man like everyone else she hooked up with behind her partner’s back.
I forgave my best friend after I realized he was super confused and doesn’t remember it because he was drinking a lot. He cried about it a bunch when I told him what happened, he also had a long-time partner and felt very guilty.
He was a groomsman at my wedding. I am now married with a baby and very happy. I own an RV too!
Emily is still with her awful partner. Oh god, screw you, Emily.”
3. Cheating Husband Took 10 Months To Admit His Lies
“After work, we were watching tv, and my husband pauses the show and says, ‘I don’t love you anymore. Let’s take a break.’ Dumbfounded, but still madly in love with this man, I agreed. I moved back in with my parents.
Fast forward a week and it’s my birthday. I haven’t been eating or sleeping well, so when I got the email that our phone bill had reached its text limit, I was rather upset.
I logged onto Sprint and there it was, over the past month his texting had exponentially grown to one specific number, which wasn’t mine. I called it, and it was a woman. His co-worker. I immediately called him and he denied it. The next day he admitted it. A lot of stuff went down. I went to his work, intoxicated and belligerent a few days later, and had to be forcibly removed.
Not my best moment. I moved back into the house and told him to get lost. He only moved into the spare room and continued to see her for about a month.
In that time I visited my friend out of state and began therapy, and finally got the courage enough to serve him with divorce papers. His whole attitude changed. He dropped to his knees and pleaded I take him back. Vowed to do anything, and I accepted. We went to couples therapy and over the following 10 months, he drip-fed me information, eventually admitting to them hooking up in our house. I’m devastated. This ordeal happened exactly a year and a month ago today. We’re still married, but I can’t trust him and some days are really hard. Please don’t cheat, people.”
2. Dude Accidentally Told Me Everything Because He Thought He Had A Chance
“Not my story but my best friend’s (C) who I was with for the major showdown. They started going out when she was 14 and he (P) was almost 16, they were together all the way till the end of high school. They lived about an hour and a half away from each other. Being as they were going out for so long the family got to know her really well and she was helping her man through some troubles because his dad cheated on his mom.
They had some rough times, at 15 she had a miscarriage and he blamed her.
Fast forward 4 years later they break up because she went to surprise him and visit him, well she saw a girl hooking up with him in the living room. She called the house and the brother answered and said P wasn’t there… Which was a flat-out lie because she was literally looking at him through a window.
She walked into the house and the girl ran out, they got into a huge fight. We thought that was the end of it but sadly it wasn’t, he didn’t want to let her go.
One night he drove to her and asked her to meet him at Wendy’s parking lot. We literally had a car full of people for this mess that was about to go down.
Now I’m angry, this guy needs to go and leave her alone. I asked her if I could speak ‘calmly’ to him first, she asked me not to be mean, I promised I’d be nice and smile the entire time. Holy heck I laid into him with a giant smile on my face. Saying what a piece of trash he was and he’s a horrible person, clearly, I really got to him because he kicked the car he came in.
(Which wasn’t his. His friend J drove him.) Eventually, we all calmed down and talked like mature adults… (Haha)
P wanted to speak to C alone and I asked her if she was ok with it and if not then he can go I wouldn’t leave her. She agreed she was fine, then it was time my man had to be home so J drove me, and P and C went to talk for a few hours.
The next two hours were really important and ended up being an unforgettable night. J had a thing for me but he was creepy plus I was literally with my man who I was madly in love with. So as he was dropping off my man I was literally trying to prove to J I was taken so we were messing around in his back seat.
After we dropped off my man we had an hour’s drive back, somehow he still thought he had a chance….. Stupid dude, so he spilled his guts and told me EVERYTHING!
P had been cheating on C 11 months into their 4-year relationship! So we were close to my friend and we were meeting at my house and we were a street away from my neighborhood. My best friend had a sneezing fit and ended up slamming on the gas, hopped a curb, and was millimeters away from hitting a fire hydrant.
Her car wouldn’t start at all, I used this time to let the guys try and figure stuff out and walk with C and tell her everything J told me. Holy the night got so much worse, he was going to ask her back out that night and even made a giant collage of their years together and it was in the trunk of J’s car. They got into a huge fight up and down my neighborhood and eventually J and P left in a huff and took her answer as a no.”
1. Confrontation Caused Me Emotional And Physical Damage
“Stopped at his house to grab him on the way back from the bar (he had hung out w/ some high school friends & I was my best friend’s designated driver for his bday weekend) because we had a volleyball tournament in the morning & he was supposed to stay at my place…I had tried calling him after the last call but he hadn’t answered & just figured he had either gone home & passed out or was after-partying and couldn’t hear his phone.
No big deal.
I walked into the room to find him and some girl pantless. I sort of blackout when my adrenaline rushes under any circumstance so the rest of it is kinda piecey but I remember saying ‘what the heck is this?!’ twice and then walking over to the bed (a queen mattress on the floor) but I couldn’t see the girl’s face so I smacked her butt/hip so she would look at me and it was someone I knew, who knew damn well that we were in a relationship.
I was even more livid at this point and I had been pacing or something. I could tell they were both beyond hammered but I didn’t care. The girl sat up and I walked over and wound up and swung and smacked her across the face. That’s the first time I’ve ever hit someone. To her credit, she didn’t say a single word. I remember yelling at him and pushing him once (not hard)..but apparently, I punched him in the face but I don’t entirely believe that.
He starts to get angry and then tells me I have to leave. I remember looking at the girl who was still sitting on the bed and was like she has to leave first! And then he gets me in the hallway and his jerk roommate comes downstairs and tells me to get the heck out and he doesn’t care what’s going on. At this point, my ex was like bear-hugging me to keep me from being a ball of flailing limbs (his description), and eventually, we’re at the front door and I had gone back into his room for some of my clothes that were there and so I have an armful of clothes and I was like I want my computer charger (he was using my old one and my logic was like screw you, you don’t get to use ur computer).
I moved forward and then the next thing I know I’m on the ground outside and I had landed on some rocks. I turn around to see him following me out the door. We were inside of a screen door where the screen was like a foot off the bottom & I thought he threw me through the door but he said it was an accidental push, which makes sense since I remember moving forward.
They had a 2 or 3 step concrete block type of steps that was prob only 2-3ft wide so when I went back through the screen I fell off the stoop thing sideways. My friend who had been waiting in the car (all of this transpired over like prob 10mins) was now right there and was like what the heck. My friend was just like we need to get u outta here and was paranoid neighbors would call the cops.
I’m not entirely sure what happens but my friend must have been picking up my clothes for me cuz I remember standing at the end of the driveway and made 2 phone calls and sent a msg to my friend in Barcelona asking about when a festival was that he told me about when I had visited in may (this happened on Aug 26th..technically Aug 27th at like 4 am) and told him I’d see him in 3 weeks.
My friend gets me in the car and I just remember feeling like absolute fury. I had called a mutual friend of ours and the girl’s who been out with them and I may or may not have left them a screaming email about how messed up that was and that I was going to ruin her if she helped facilitate this in any way. (My ex was a deadbeat with no job and no car and they were both beyond intoxicated so they didn’t drive and he was definitely too broke to uber).
I didn’t cry, I just sat there stewing. Back at my friend’s house, he insisted I come inside and calm down.
I didn’t cry until Sunday..this happened on a Fri night. I felt like stone, it was so weird.. It was like my anger was keeping me together. I also still have an indent in my thigh from a rock I landed on. This happened in 2016″
