Girlfriend cheats on 35-year-old man with gym trainer: Reddit user warns older men, ‘Don't ignore your instincts'
The user said the pain wasn't just about betrayal, but how it could happen at any age. According to him, many assume cheating is common only in young or immature relationships. However, he was shocked to face it in his mid-30s.
The user claims to have supported her and believed in their bond. Yet, honesty was missing, he wrote.
The Reddit user warns others not to assume they're too old for such things. If trust and communication weaken, emotional and physical lines can blur no matter the age or maturity level, he added.
'Don't ignore your instincts. If you sense real change or distance, respect your intuition, but communicate before jumping to conclusions,' the user wrote.
'Value trust above comfort. True partnership means ongoing effort, not just years together,' he added.
The Reddit post opened the floodgates to a wave of heartbreak stories from others. Many others shared about their experience of being cheated on.
One of them shared how his wife had ruined their 10-year marriage and the lives of their two children. She apparently ended the marriage because a younger man at her office had been praising her.
The user said what hurt him the most was that she had shown no remorse for her actions. He also mentioned that her entire family was angry with him and had spread false rumours to cover up her infidelity.
'Why do I hear lot of cheating stories everywhere? Right from Coldplay concert till Reddit,' wondered one user.
Another user wrote, 'Cheating with gym trainer is very common. Maybe women do get attracted by big muscles contrary to their claim "body doesn't matter, personality does".'
'Cheating happens more at 30s and 40s then at 20s. People tend to ditch their marriages just for smallest pleasure outside, some for sex, some for excitement,' oberved another.
In 2023, Gleeden found that 77% of Indian women cheat due to boring married life. Gleeden is a French online dating platform for women who want to have extra-marital affairs. It revealed that the app had 8 lakh subscribers from India.
According to Gleeden, Bengaluru, Mumbai and Kolkata had the highest number of unfaithful women. Also, 72% of unfaithful people didn't regret cheating. Among the responders, 46% came from homes where one parent had cheated.
Seven out of 10 women blamed a lack of help with chores. According to the survey, 31% already had affairs with neighbours before joining the app. Interestingly, 52% women and 57% men cheated during business trips. Half of the female cheaters had sex on the second date.
Among men, 17% had secret accounts for affairs. Flirting helped 4 in 10 women reconnect with partners. Same-sex affairs rose after Section 377 was removed by the court.

Tehsil cops nab 2 from West Bengal with fake currency worth Rs2.43L
Nagpur: In a significant crackdown on a counterfeit currency racket, the Tehsil Police arrested two individuals carrying fake Indian currency notes with a face value of Rs2.43 lakh. The operation took place in the early hours of Wednesday at the Guard Line area near Mayo Hospital. The individuals were identified as Zaminrul Hussain Hussain, 27, and Azimtanu Sheikh, 29, from Malda District of West Bengal, close to the Indo-Bangladesh border. They are allegedly thieves who targeted train passengers. The duo claimed that they found the bag with fake currency from a passenger on the Geetanjali Express. After stealing the bag at 3 am on Wednesday, the two had got down from the train at Nagpur. After having food in Nagpur, the two were planning to return to West Bengal when nabbed. Acting on a tip-off, a team from Tehsil Police, under senior inspector Shubhangi Deshmukh, set up a trap in front of the Guard Line Railway Quarter. The police apprehended the two suspects. Upon searching a bag in their possession, the police recovered 243 counterfeit Rs500 notes packed in a polythene cover, along with two mobile phones.

Cybercrime fraudsters now supervise mule account holders from hotels, find Hyderabad police
Hyderabad: International cybercrime syndicates operating from Cambodia, Dubai, and Myanmar have taken their scams a step further — they are now supervising Indian mule account holders in real time by placing them in hotels and monitoring their banking activity over a 48-hour window when fraudulent funds are funnelled through their accounts. This growing trend, flagged by the Telangana Cyber Security Bureau, reveals how middlemen based in India are now being employed by foreign scam masterminds to coordinate this direct control. These middlemen, who are paid monthly or on commission, are instructed to book hotel rooms in metro cities close to the mule account holders' locations. Once the mule reaches the hotel, the operation begins. The middlemen take possession of the SIM card linked to the mule's bank account and insert it into their own mobile phone. Internet banking is activated, and remote access apps are used to take full control of the account.

'The account details are then shared with fraud teams running investment scams, fake job offers, and digital arrest frauds from cybercrime hubs abroad,' he said.

Once the funds start flowing — often crores of rupees — they are immediately broken down and routed to a network of additional accounts to avoid detection. 'Within 24 to 48 hours, these accounts are usually flagged by alert victims or financial institutions, prompting law enforcement to freeze them. By then, the operation is wrapped up. The mule's SIM card is returned, they are paid Rs 2 lakh–Rs 3 lakh depending on the volume of transactions, and the hotel room is vacated,' police said. Police in Hyderabad and Cyberabad commissionerates busted three such networks operating from hotels in Hi-Tec City, Mumbai, and Noida in July. In one case, two middlemen from Rajasthan managed seven mule accounts under the instructions of a fraudster known only as 'Jack,' suspected to be based in Cambodia or Dubai. In Mumbai, two men from Thane coordinated with four mule account holders on behalf of a Dubai-based scammer. Similarly, a fraudster operating from Greater Noida was arrested for running the same playbook using local suppliers and hotels. Hyderabad cyber crimes wing DCP D Kavitha confirmed the trend. 'Earlier, cybercriminals used to collect banking kits and operate remotely. But with many account holders now refusing that method, direct supervision has become common. It ensures smoother fund flow and reduces the risk of error. We have recently nabbed three such gangs,' she said. Law enforcement agencies have warned that this method is gaining traction across India, transforming cyber fraud into a hybrid operation with both digital and on-ground control.

Actor Vijay Deverakonda appears before Enforcement Directorate sleuths, claims he promoted gaming platform, not betting app
Hyderabad: Actor Vijay Deverakonda on Wednesday claimed that the app (application) he endorsed is not a betting one, but a gaming app, which is a legal and skill-based platform. Speaking to the media after appearing before Enforcement Directorate (ED) officials in connection with the ongoing investigation into the illegal betting app case, Vijay Deverakonda said: 'I endorsed a gaming app, A23. There is no link with the betting app. Gaming apps are completely legal and recognised by govt agencies and are licensed. These entities pay GST and TDS.' ED officials, who found that he received Rs 4 crore from the apps, questioned him about the remuneration he received for promoting the platform. The questioning of the actor is part of a broader probe involving several celebrities who endorsed the app, which is under the scanner for money laundering and illegal operations. You Can Also Check: Hyderabad AQI | Weather in Hyderabad | Bank Holidays in Hyderabad | Public Holidays in Hyderabad ED is now examining whether the app is legal or not. If found illegal, action might be initiated against the actor. ED had registered a Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA) case based on the predicate offence booked by the Telangana police. 'Various statements by govts have recognised these gaming apps. A23 is a gaming app similarly recognised. If you search Google for top gaming apps, you will get results like A23, My11Circle, NPL and so on. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Emergency Generators in Montevideo: (Prices May Surprise You) Emergency Generator | Search Ads Search Now Undo These are registered gaming apps. They sponsor the Indian cricket team and the Olympic team. They are also official sponsors for the women's cricket team. They sponsor the kabaddi league and the volleyball league. They are completely legal entities. If someone is sponsoring the Olympic team, they must be legally authorised. Agencies and media should distinguish between gaming apps and betting apps,' he added. 'ED has called me without knowing about it. I have clarified. I have given them all the financial documents, transactions and account details they asked for. These apps are geo-locked. In Telangana, A23 is geo-locked and it won't open. Certain state govts allow it, while others won't allow it. ED has asked me about contract details also — I furnished them. They were satisfied,' he said. 'If there is anything further, I will let you know,' he said, adding 'whether it is right or wrong, the Supreme Court or the state govt will decide.' Meanwhile, actors Daggubati Rana and Manchu Lakshmi are scheduled to appear before ED in connection with the case next week. Skill-based gaming apps involve games where skill predominates, like fantasy sports. Indian courts, including those in Bombay and Punjab & Haryana, have ruled that such games do not constitute gambling under law. Betting and gambling apps, on the other hand, rely on chance-based wagering and fall under state gambling laws, which often prohibit them. In Telangana and Andhra Pradesh, there is a ban on all real-money online gaming, including skill games. Despite the ban, consumer surveys report 96% awareness of illegality, yet continued participation via offshore apps, VPNs, and proxy platforms, raising concerns about enforcement and public risk.
