11 Wild Cheating Stories (That You Shouldn’t Read If You Have Trust Issues)

If you’ve been cheated on before, you aren’t alone. It has happened to the best of us — but some stories are more horrifying than others. Here are some absolutely wild stories from Ask Reddit:

“Had a coworker who cheated on her live-in boyfriend. She would tell him she was going for a run, put on her shorts without underwear, and would hook up with her side piece in the apartment parking lot. So then she would come back inside sweaty 30 mins later and needed to shower and it all made sense to her boyfriend, he never questioned it. She was an awful human.” — rashawah

“A friend caught her husband cheating because he kept coming home smelling like ferrets. Hard to play off ‘long day at work’ and explain that. When she found out at a holiday party that one of the young female coworkers owned ferrets, it all made sense.” — benloe7

“Buddy of mine had been married a few months when he found a sex tape on a shared iPad of his wife and one of her exes. He knew it was recent because she wore the same lingerie that she bought specifically for their honeymoon.” — Mustache-Monday

“I had a hunch my partner was cheating on me and when I was at their place late one night crying and begging for them to just tell me the truth….. in walks the other woman with her sleepover bag. “ — Remarkable-Park9768

“My friend’s mom was in a relationship with a guy for years and they ended up getting engaged and due to marry. The guy was a senior director of a company for which he travelled every week abroad for business. Eventually, the guy had a heart attack and when my friend’s mom turned up at the hospital, his wife and two kids were there also. Turned out he was already married with children and living a double life the whole time. When he went ‘abroad’ for business, he was simply going back to his actual family” — wallbagz

“My ex-wife pretended to be admitted to a mental health ward for long term treatment while actually staying with her new man and cheating on me.” — Impossible-Visit-199

“For six months my ex dressed as a bricklayer and went out from 7 in the morning to 7 in the evening. He didn’t go to work but had his lover pick him up and spent the whole day with her.” — Dark_Sub90

“I know someone that cheated on his wife for at least twenty years. He brought the mistress a house that was better than the one he lived in with his family. He bought this woman cars and expensive vacations and everything. No one knew for years because he hid it all in his business accounting. The only way that they found out is that some car registration renewals came in the mail when he was away on vacation with his mistress, and neither vehicle belonged to the family or the businesses.” — most-royal-chemist

“In a small town the husband kept telling people he had an open marriage; finally someone asked his wife about it, she was unaware of this new arrangement.” — Long_Strange_Trip_GD

“A family friend’s husband was having an affair for 20+ years and that woman knew the entire time about his family. He was at her ranch one time and was bucked off a horse and broke his back. The affair partner called his wife to tell her and acted like everything about this situation was normal and the wife had no reason to act all upset at the affair. Some people really just have no shame.” — SailoLee92

“I knew a guy years ago that was a private investigator. Many times he was approached by a spouse who suspected their partner was cheating. He had a slam-dunk strategy. He would suggest his client sign up for a course, whether a hobby thing, or educational. The key was that the class would happen for a period of weeks, all on the same day of the week, and all at the same time of day. Then, while his client was in class, he would follow the spouse. Caught them every time.” — PJMurphy
