People Who "Accidentally" Caught Their Spouses Cheating Are Exposing What Happened, And My Jaw Is On The Floor For Some Of These

A while back, we wrote about people who accidentally found out their partners were cheating, and the responses ranged from absolutely gut-wrenching to shocking. Then, some readers even shared their own W I L D stories with us, too. Here are the best ones: 1. "I was looking through the Instagram photos of a local event that had taken place the previous weekend. I came across a picture of his dog, but it wasn't me holding the leash." —Anonymous, 34, Maryland 2. "Got an email sent to my work email that said: 'Sorry, I didn't know he was married.' Found out later she was just one of many, including someone who was a close friend." —Anonymous, 43, US 3. "My husband of seven years and father of my two kids came home at lunch on Valentine's Day and used my computer to check his email. He accidentally left it logged in, he was emailing a coworker whom he had bought a pink iPod for Valentine's, and had called me a 'tax deduction.' I called him just as he was about to address his entire company and told him not to come home." —Anonymous, 50, Colorado 4. "I was at home watching TV when the evening news was broadcasting from the Horseshoe Bar for an annual festival. My husband was in the background with his friend and his fiancée, and with his arm around another woman. She was the cousin of his friend's fiancée, and she was the daughter of a local dentist. It had been going on for a while. She knew he was married. They had coupled up and went on vacation together to Chicago for a weekend, and were meeting up. I had given him a pager, and when I got the bill she had paged him over 600 times in the month. She called the house frequently and hung up. She was driving by my home. I'll never understand the women who seek out married men for attention." —Anonymous, 57, Cleveland, OH 5. "Back when Pampered Chef home parties were really popular, I bought their can opener. This particular brand worked differently from most can openers and took a little practice to learn how to use. The first day I had it, my husband pulled it out of the drawer and immediately used it correctly. No second thought. I immediately knew he'd been spending enough time at another woman's house that he knew how to use that can opener. Turns out I was right!" —Anonymous, 50, North Carolina 6. "After suspecting my wife, I went to the store and bought a small voice recorder. One evening, before heading out to play hockey, I placed it away from eyes' view to record. When I came back that evening, I listened to what was lo and behold, she had an intimate conversation over the phone with a coworker...I'll spare the content. I confronted her with confessed." —Anonymous, 58, Canada 7. "She had ordered DoorDash for us and fell asleep before our food was even picked up. I grabbed her phone to check the delivery status and absentmindedly started closing all the apps like I do with my own phone when I saw her texts open with some guy I didn't know. Turns out she had been hooking up with quite a few different people she met on dating apps. Crazy thing is: We were in an open relationship, and I was totally fine with her having other partners, so long as she was honest about it." —Anonymous, 32, California 8. "Married for 12 years. I found a file folder without a label when I was searching the file cabinet for something else. The unmarked folder had some forgettable papers that didn't mean anything, and a printout of an email exchange between my husband and another woman informing him she was pregnant with his child. It went on with a three-page back-and-forth, followed by a birth announcement for baby Eric, my husband's middle name. We stayed married until I was done with cancer treatment. Then I left him (with a note) and emptied the bank account. In retrospect, he may have been cheating the entire time I knew him. Dating, engagement, and marriage." —Anonymous, 57, US 9. "We'd spent a blissful summer together, he told me we were exclusive — then in August, he got sick with a pretty bad respiratory infection. I moved my home office to his house, took care of him, bought groceries, took him to the doctor, and got his meds. At the end of three weeks, he threw me out, saying that now that he was better, he needed some 'creative space.' Turns out he'd been on kink websites for months (in the car, at the lake, at his mother's, while I was taking care of him), communicating with multiple women, and he'd finally arranged a secret hookup with one of them. After the hookup, he called me, told me he missed me, and asked me to come over for dinner. While I was taking out his trash, I found all the evidence of his wild weekend. He confessed and gave me a song and dance about how sorry he was. Then he did exactly the same thing a month later." —Anonymous 10. "I came over to my friend's house an hour early, thinking it was no big deal. When I get to the front door, I knock on it. She didn't answer, so I looked into a window next to the door, and guess what I saw, my husband of one year is kissing my friend." —Anonymous 11. "He was showing me pictures from a work trip — he handed me the phone and told me to scroll. I then found screenshots of his convo with 'Sexxi Sammi,' a sex worker who was accusing him of being a cop. He screenshotted the texts to prove he wasn't the police — I still don't understand why. He was very confused when I explained to him that Sexxi Sammi was not genuinely into him, that she was doing it for money. We were engaged, and I was helping to parent his young kids during the lockdown. Sex work should be legal, and I hope Sexxi Sammi is thriving. I am!" —Anonymous, 40, Kansas City 12. "I was playing a game on his iPad while he was texting vacation plans with his girlfriend on his iPhone. He didn't realize that his Apple ID linked the two devices, so I could see everything in real time. Was married for 15 years and have three kids." —Anonymous, 57, South Carolina 13. "I'm an early riser. I entered my partner's office and noticed the fax machine was out of paper. After I reloaded the machine, it spewed out a lengthy love letter from another woman. I loaded up a rug I loved into my car and left. I took him back a few times and made each escapade more expensive. After a condo, a Mercedes, a big house, I finally left with $1M and called it quits." —Anonymous 14. "I had been very sick and was limited in the distance I could travel at one time. My husband took our 3 and 4-year-olds camping to the town where we were married, just an hour from home. I would pick the kids up at my in-laws' (30 minutes from home), as my husband would ride them up on the bike path. I could not get hold of my husband, so I asked my mother-in-law to tell her son I would stop by to grab the car seats. When I showed up at the campground, my husband was sitting, eating, and drinking wine with another woman. I told my sister I thought he was having an affair! My sister asked if I was sure. I said, 'We've been together for 15 years, and at this point, I'm pretty darn sure!'" "When we arrived at my mother-in-law's house to pick up my children, my kids got in the car, and I asked them about their camping trip. My son was telling me about going on a bat exploration the night before, and that they had camped, and I said, 'Oh, when I was at the campground, their daddy had a friend there.' I asked if she had stayed with them. My oldest child responds, 'Well, yes, of course, Mommy, she always sleeps with us!' I then asked him if she had a nice tent to sleep in, and his comment was, 'Mommy, she always sleeps with us!' So, I asked who she slept with as we had a pop-up camper with two beds, and his response was, 'Oh, Daddy always sleeps with her!' We went back to my sister's house, and her mother-in-law watched my children. After dark, we returned with a huge flashlight to the campsite, catching my husband and his mistress sleeping in the pop-up tent. I asked him to open the camper door, and it took him forever shuffling around. I pulled the top part of the door back and shone the flashlight in, and they had the sleeping bags zipped together and were completely naked. He opened the door and told me that I was being disrespectful to him and his mistress! I went back to my sister's house after I told him that he was no longer welcome at our home, and he called me later that night, telling me that I should be ashamed of myself because his girlfriend went home in tears!" —Anonymous, 60, Ohio 15. "My wife of 35 years was having problems texting our daughter on her iPhone. She handed me her phone and asked me to try to fix it. The problem was the Android vs. iPhone thing, where you had to occasionally resend a text as a SIM. I futzed around with the settings awhile, then decided to scroll recent text to see if there were any I needed to resend. I came across a text thread between her and one of my employees. My stomach sank as I read my wife's words to another man, saying 'I love you, I want you, I need you,' and asking him to come to her as soon as possible. End of story, end of marriage." —Anonymous 16. "I went into his phone to check something. His Telegram account opened up with steamy messages. He'd already been caught a few months ago chatting with this same woman and had gone to therapy and told me he'd shut things down. They'd met online. They were sleeping together shortly after his dad died, and my mom was in the hospital with a broken hip. He'd done the same thing two years before that, too. We're divorced now." —Anonymous, 39, Mumbai 17. "My mom received a phone call asking for her husband. She asked who the caller was and was told 'Mrs. Martin.' He was an over-the-road truck driver and with several women. My mom stopped investigating after finding Mrs. Martin #5. She never spoke to him again. It devastated her." — shaysmith3 18. "We had a great relationship, but I started to notice that he was getting more distant, so I called his mom and asked if she knew if anything was going on, and she said, 'I thought you and him broke up,' and I was like, Hmm, that's weird, 'cause we were still together. She ended up telling me that she walked in on him and my friend about a month earlier." —Anonymous, 29, New York 19. "I went to a concert with friends. He decided to stay home because he didn't want to be out that late. After the concert, I decided to go eat and went to a local restaurant for pick up. There he was in the outside seating area kissing, holding hands, and having dinner with another woman. Needless to say, I lost my appetite and ruined their dinner immediately confronting him." —Anonymous, 61, Indiana 20. "The narcissist boyfriend promised to get a ring and commit after cheating. Instead of getting the ring, he came back on a new motorcycle. As I followed him back to his house, he crashed the motorbike in front of my car and broke his back. In an astonishing example of instant karma, I found out at the hospital that he was full of HPV warts, herpes, and all the rest. I stayed for the surgery and drove away. He lured the other woman back to care for him and pay his bills. I was not infected with his diseases, but I know she is." —Anonymous, 64, LA 21. "Had a woman I lived with for three years tell me that she's spending the night with her sick mother, only to have her 'sick' mother stop by at our house looking for her. I then found a love letter to a guy she worked with. Found his house and caught them both there." —Anonymous 22. "I had gotten back in town after a weekend away. In the morning, I felt something under the covers by my feet. I pulled out a pair of panties that weren't mine. He tried convincing me they were mine, and he even gave me his phone to prove his innocence. This was years ago, and iPhones had only just introduced the hidden folder in the Photos app. I got in there, and there were hundreds of nude photos and evidence of many different women." "He then tried to convince me that it was nothing with one of the girls, by showing me a conversation with her on Instagram chat. He was getting her to prove that they do not talk to each other, and therefore, he never could have cheated. Later, I found on his laptop browser history 'fake Instagram chat generator.' He made the screenshots using a generator to try to get away with his affairs. After we broke up, he continued dating the main girl, whose undies I found by my feet. I wonder if she knew about all the other girls, too." —Anonymous, 29, St Louis 23. And lastly, "I caught my boyfriend of more than two years cheating while I was in the hospital, having just given birth to our baby hours before. His (not-so-ex) wife called my phone asking if the newborn in the photo was his." — unreadysauce405 Did you accidentally catch your partner cheating? What happened? Tell us in the comments below.
