It might be engagement season, but sadly, not everyone is living that fairy tale—just look at the Reddit relationship thread, where infidelity has been a hot topic recently. Last week, a woman was cheated on by her husband while she was in the hospital, and yesterday, kkundrat posted another pretty devastating story.
In her post, she provides some background about her relationship: after almost a year of dating, she found some nude photos of her boyfriend and a picture of another girl on his phone. He told her he was just using Craigslist "to talk to people" and that had never met up with anyone.
After he suggested she look through his phone and computer to help rebuild trust, she found a list of all of his sexual partners, including the names of some men. Though she was surprised by his bisexuality (he'd never mentioned it), she was not concerned by it...until she saw that he received a text message from a random number that turned out to be a man he had recently slept with.
She writes: "They turned out to have proof of their encounters—pictures where [my boyfriend] was wearing a necklace I had bought him, and screenshots of their conversations about meeting up. However, they didn't even know my boyfriends name...I guess they literally just had sex." Yikes.
She then confesses, "He's been cheating on me with men and women, multiple times, pretty much since we got together" and now she's unsure of how to get over this and asked the internet for advice.
Here's how Reddit users chimed in:
"Holy sh-t, I would be so mad it'd be almost easy to get over him. I feel like anger is a much more manageable emotion than sadness—sadness takes over me and I feel hopeless, but anger in this case would help me dump his sorry ass and leave him for someone well worth my time." —59913291023787
