People Who Accidentally Walked In On Their Cheating Spouse Mid-Sex Are Sharing What Happened, And I'm Actually Stunned
I can only imagine that there's no feeling like the ultimate betrayal of being cheated on...
So, when Reddit user u/DEDCMDM94 asked the question, "What is your 'accidentally caught your spouse' cheating horror story?" in r/AskReddit, I knew the stories would be downright unbelievable:
1."Walked in on my girlfriend while she was having sex with another guy. 'What are you doing here?!' she says. 'You gave me a key, remember? I ended up not working today and wanted to surprise you.' 15 years later, she reached out, leaving me a message that she’d like to talk. I figured she was doing some 12-step thing or something, and wanted to make amends. Nope. She wanted to try and sell me on Amway."
2."A friend of mine was hanging out with some guys at a bar and went home to chill with them. He asked how they knew my girlfriend at the time (he realized she was a mutual friend at the bar). The guy said she was 'fuck buddies' with his friend. My friend was confused and mentioned that she was the girlfriend of a friend of his (me), to which his response was, 'Oh, I hope you're not good enough friends to have to tell him.'"
3."I dated this girl a few years back, and I became really good friends with her brother because he appreciated my help during a difficult time for their family (their father had abruptly passed away). Two years into the relationship, the brother contacts me and asks to meet up for coffee and a serious conversation."
"Apparently HE caught his own sister with another guy (mutual friend of ours), and this shit had been going on for like a year. As soon as he found out, he told me. I broke up with her, and I'm still friends with her brother. Go figure."
4."Mt. St. Augustine erupted in Alaska in 1986. They had to evacuate all planes out of Elmendorf Air Force Base due to ash in the air, which sent my unit home from Korea three days early. I got home at 2 a.m., and there was a guy sleeping next to my wife in our bed."
5."My ex was overseas on tour and missed his sister's wedding, which I went to as a bridesmaid, even reading a message from him to try and ease the sting of him not being there. I had just gotten home and got a phone call from his mom that his grandmother had passed away. His mom had tried to call to give him the news and had been unable to get ahold of him, needing to leave a message."
"At the end of the phone call, she said, 'Oh, by the way, did you know that he is in Rome on his leave?' He was supposed to let me know when he got leave so I could meet him in Europe. Instead, he skipped out on his sister's wedding so he could go to Rome and on a cruise with a coworker he was fucking. Needless to say, he was an ex very shortly after that."
6."I had been on the road for work. It was supposed to be 10 days, but I got to go home a day early. I had a friend pick me up at the airport to surprise my wife and two children (2-year-old and 8-month-old). I walked in on my ex and her 'coffee friend' snuggling on the couch...with. My. Kids. In. The. Same. Room. I was livid. Of course, she denied everything. We split up weeks later."
7."Humored my mom (whom I don't see often) by going to church with her on Sunday. It was an hour's drive there and back home from church. I walk in the front door and hear sex noises coming from my roommate's room. Normally, I would have walked out and let him have his moment. Which I did, and when I walked outside, I realized my girlfriend's car was still there."
"My thoughts get blurry after that, but I remember I kicked his door in and caught my best friend of a few years and my girlfriend mid-sex. They didn't run or hide; they both laughed at me. The first time in my life, I honestly froze up, and my brain didn't know what to do. Suffice to say, I walked outside and kept walking for a while."
8."Five months ago, I caught my soon-to-be ex-wife messaging with a mutual friend of ours on Facebook. She had started to get close to him, and they had a drunken night together when I found out she had kissed him and started to have feelings for him. She then stormed out the door when I confronted her with an overnight bag, slept with him, and hasn't come home since. Four years together and one and a half years of marriage down the drain."
9."My husband changed his cell phone from our joint plan to hers. Verizon sent me an email confirming the change and the account his line was added to, which included her name. I asked him, and he lied. I looked her up on Facebook, and it turns out they had just celebrated their two-year dating anniversary. We had just celebrated eight years of marriage."
10."My ex met someone in one of his classes who told him about how polyamorous relationships worked, so he started 'dating' her and another girl. He never talked to or told me about it to see if I was interested, and I only found out when I dropped by his house one day after visiting my dad, and he was in bed with the two of them."
11."He changed his phone password, and I left it for months until something just wasn’t sitting right in my gut. I unlocked his phone with my thumb, and I didn’t even have to look — there was a messaging app open with a girl he was meeting the next day. I sent him to work without confronting him. I reset passwords through a long chain of emails to finally access the one associated with the messaging app."
"Lo and behold, he was sending approximately ten thousand emails per year for the last four years of our relationship. He was living a whole second life and hiding it from everyone. Our relationship had never APPEARED stronger, and we had been seeing a therapist to work on strengthening our communication for eight months, once a week (clearly he was hiding his issues from the therapist as well). At the time, I felt like it ruined my life. I remember thinking very clearly, 'What did I do to deserve this?' When I thought that, something inside of me just snapped. I calmly went and bought a giant coffee and cardboard boxes. I packed all his things up before he was home from work and changed our locks. The end."
12."My cousin was visiting us for a long weekend. She and I were super close, like sisters. I went upstairs to put the baby to bed and came back down to them going at it on the couch. So that was fun."
And finally, here's a story that's a testament to always trusting your gut:
13."I woke up in the middle of the night very suddenly and bolted upright, with the strong feeling that something was wrong. I listened intently but could hear nothing. I looked at my dog, a very good watchdog, who was curled up asleep. I got up and dressed and tried to see if I could smell smoke or hear anything from the street."
"I walked through the building I was living in; everything was silent and exactly as normal, but the feeling of what I can only describe as dread and near panic was getting stronger. I went through the building to where my wife had her own space because she was the first person I wanted to check. Her light was on, and her bed was still made. The room was empty. The feeling was getting stronger by the moment. I then went to check on my brother. I could really feel that something was terribly wrong. That's when I caught my brother and my wife having sex."
