Heartbroken girlfriend reveals genius way she dumped her cheating ex after finding out he'd been texting another woman
A broken-hearted student dumped her 'cheating' ex - by printing out 'sexts' he sent to another woman and hand-delivering them to him at work in a sympathy card.
Melissa Viegas broke up with her partner after discovering he had sent explicit messages to another woman.
The 23-year-old, who first met her former boyfriend via Instagram, said she was 'suspicious' of him talking to other women but didn't want to confront him until she had evidence.
The masters student was lying next to her now-ex in bed when she received a message request from a stranger saying she had exchanged flirty messages with her boyfriend.
Horrified, Melissa read through the texts exchanged between the pair, some of which contained references to explicit sexual fantasies.
Armed with the evidence, Melissa, from the UK, began concocting a plan of how she could expose him.
The bartender printed out multiple screenshots of the 'sexts' and stuck them inside a sympathy card that read 'remembering your loved one'.
A devastated Melissa then delivered the card in person to him while he was working behind a bar, storming out before she could see his reaction.

When contacted for comment, her ex admitted to 'engaging in some inappropriate messages that crossed a line' and said he would learn from it.
After the man's apparent infidelity came to light, Melissa received more tip offs from women who say he had slid into their direct messages while they were still together.
'I had a lot of suspicions but I didn't have any hard proof that he was cheating,' Melissa said.
'Because there were so many suspicions, I was already thinking about leaving. I knew I deserved better.
'I was in bed lying next to him when I saw I had a new message request from a girl who he'd been messaging.'
Apparently, the man told the woman he was messaging that he didn't have social media but she was sceptical.
She did some investigating online when she came across his Instagram profile, saw posts with Melissa and 'felt terrible'.
'He tries to plan to see her multiple times. He was really full-on sexting. It really scarred me. It was horrible, especially seeing him call her the pet names he calls me,' Melissa said.
'So when that girl sent me all those receipts I knew I had all I needed and I wasn't going to put myself through anything like this again.'
A week later, Melissa devised a plan to confront her partner about the messages alongside print-outs of the exchange.
'It really was hard not saying anything but I didn't see him a huge amount that week anyway because of his new job,' she recalled.
'My initial idea was just to print off the screenshots and give them to him at work. I ended up cutting them out and putting them in a 'sorry for your loss' card.
'I showed up to his work and gave him the card. He opened it, stared at it for a while and he was clearly embarrassed. He was offended I had done it at his work.
'My friend grabbed my hand and said 'Let's just go'.'
After sharing her story on TikTok, Melissa's video racked up more than a million views.
'I just thought 'I'm going to make a video' because he was so shameless,' Melissa said.
'He knew I was suspicious and asking questions and he made me feel guilty about bringing up him cheating. I thought he needed to learn some shame.
'I had never realised how strong girl power could be. The only hate comments were from men. It's made me hold my friends even tighter now.'
Since the clip went viral, Melissa was contacted by two other women claiming to have been messaging her ex without knowing he had a girlfriend.
One of the women said she had a date lined up with him but in light of the new information will now 'stand him up'.
Melissa also reported her former flame had messaged one of her friends saying 'I was going to break up with her anyway'.
'We literally booked a holiday two weeks ago for end of August so theres no way he was planning for that,' Melissa said.
In response to the viral video, Melissa's ex said he 'deeply regrets any hurt caused' and wishes Melissa 'nothing but the best'.
'The claims in Melissa's viral TikTok don't reflect who I am,' the ex said.
'I deeply regret any hurt she felt during our relationship and breakup, and I take responsibility for engaging in some inappropriate messages that crossed a line.
'That was a mistake, not a reflection of my character, and I'm committed to learning from it. Break-ups are tough and I understand emotions can run high online.
'I'm not here to add to the noise or point fingers - I'm focused on moving forward with integrity and privately.
'I wish Melissa nothing but the best.'
