In an ideal world, the romantic relationships we create with our partners would be happy, healthy, and full of light. But as we all know, that’s not always the case. 

Only a few things in life shatter this illusion as quickly as being cheated on by someone you trust. As these cheating wife stories show, the affair can make you lose faith in love, your future partners, and sometimes even yourself.

It’s difficult for a person to move on from the whirlwind of emotions they carry after a wife’s affair, But one thing that helps to embark on a healing journey is giving a voice to your experiences. So, in a bid to provide a safe space for the heart-aching souls out there, someone reached out to the Ask Reddit community: “What is your ‘accidentally caught your spouse’ cheating horror story?” they asked, and thousands of people opened up in the thread about their gut-wrenching tales of partners cheating on them.

From accidentally reading unfortunate texts to catching your SO red-handed, we’ve gathered some of the most upsetting, infuriating, and wild responses where the wife was caught cheating. 

So, continue scrolling and prepare yourselves for some relationship-changing Reddit cheating stories. If you’re up for it, share your own experiences with us in the comments; we’re here to listen.

It's so classic and pathetic it will sound sitcomy, but I found long blond hair in our bed. It's a short haired brunette. He had a buzzcut. When confronted he shrugged and said " Well, what are you gonna do about it, anyway, dump me ? you can't, we have a shared lease, so suck it up"

Guess who got dumped the very same day with the help of a very nice, understanding and outraged landlord that rescinded the lease ?

Can I Trust My Spouse After She Cheated?

As Gary W. Lewandowski Jr., Ph.D., a psychology professor and a relationship expert, points out, being cheated on is easily one of the top fears people have in relationships. “[Infidelity] represents such a clear violation of trust, it’s often worse than a partner just wanting to break up,” he told Bored Panda.

Lewandowski explains that cheating occurs for a variety of reasons, “but one of the most prominent is not feeling like your current relationship meets your needs. Those needs could be sexual, intellectual, emotional, or a need for personal growth.”

Rebuilding trust after a wife’s affair can be complex and challenging. It’s possible but requires dedication from both partners. Have open and honest communication and seek therapy or counseling to address underlying issues. 

Trust can be reestablished over time, but it may never return to the same level as before the cheating occurred. As these Reddit cheating stories show, healing and moving forward can be difficult after a wife’s affair.

Not me but a medical resident who I met on rotation recently. One of the nicest guy I ever met, super intelligent and hardworking, and training to be a trauma surgeon by humble as they come. He had been married for 2 years to his wife. One night he gets off a 30 hour call early and heads home to surprise his wife with some flowers and her favorite dessert (it was the anniversary of the day they first met). Only to find her in bed with a random dude.

He was so exhausted and confused, he didn’t know what to do and just left and went back to the hospital. I saw him at 5AM, sitting in the parking lot, hunched over crying. He didn’t even have his phone with him, he was just sitting there. Man, nothing breaks your heart more than seeing a grown man cry, it’s not something you see often. We called his dad up and he came and picked him up, the guy ended up taking a leave from his residency. Turns out, it wasn’t the wife’s first time sleeping around. Hope he gets back on his feet, he will make an amazing physician.

30 Men Share Their Awkward And Infuriating Cheating Wife Stories I didn't "accidentally" catch him, someone purposefully mailed me a letter.

One day, I recieved an anonymous letter that stated my boyfriend of 7 years was seeing another woman. This letter was said to be from a friend of a different woman he was seeing. I confronted him and he denied (of course).

I checked his emails and found google messages from a third woman. I found out he was cheating with three different women for five years. Like why even bother to be in a relationship at that point.

F**k you Alex.

How Do Cheaters Act When Caught?

“Cheating is also a crime of opportunity, in which it’s more likely when people believe they won’t get caught,” Lewandowski adds. 

Well, the times of catching partners betraying our trust in the act is a thing of the past. Nowadays, we have the digital world at our fingertips that expands opportunities for cheating. But at the same time, it makes it easier to catch the wife’s affair.

Reactions to being caught cheating can differ widely. A spouse may initially deny involvement, while some might admit guilt immediately. You can expect them to act defensive or angry, as they may feel cornered or embarrassed.

Some cheating wives may express remorse and a willingness to repair the relationship, while others may continue to deny any wrongdoing. Each person’s response depends on their personality, the circumstances, and the nature of the relationship.

Relationship expert Lewandowski added that when we think of catching our partner cheating, we often envision sexual and physical affairs, but as these cheating wife sex stories show, that’s not always the case. “We should also be aware of the potential for emotional infidelity where our partner becomes close and emotionally intimate with another person,” he explained. “Sometimes that may be ‘hiding in plain sight’ because we aren’t considering it a potential form of cheating.

How Many Married Women Cheat?

In 2021, Health Testing Centers polled 441 people to get to the bottom of how frequent cheating in relationships actually is. The responses revealed that a little over 46% of participants in monogamous relationships said they had affairs. One in four also explained they cheated and admitted it to their partner.

My husband had been really nasty to me recently, and we got into a huge fight the night before he went on a business trip. By morning we had sort of made up, but I was still salty. He always texts me to tell me when his plane lands and normally I respond, but I was still so mad, I decided to ignore him. I had never done that before, so he called me to ask what was wrong. I said, 'Right now, I’m as mad at you as I’ve ever been.' He mistakenly assumed I had found out about the multiple online affairs he was having and accidentally blurted everything out.

How Do You Tell If a Spouse is Lying About Cheating?

ADVERTISEMENT

Spotting lies can be complex, as individuals vary in their lying behaviors. However, you can look for some common signs:

  • Your spouse’s account of events keeps changing or seems contradictory.
  • A cheating wife might act defensive, angry, or avoidant when confronted. They may deflect blame onto you or accuse you of being paranoid.
  • Avoiding eye contact or appearing uncomfortable when discussing specific topics can signify deceit.
  • Look for nonverbal cues like nervousness or fidgeting.
  • They may suddenly become more secretive about their phone, computer, or social media accounts.

It’s important to remember that these signs are not foolproof, and there may be innocent explanations for some behaviors. Consider having an open and honest communication with your spouse.

Being cheated on is extremely heartbreaking, whether emotional or physical adultery. These wife-caught cheating stories show that infidelity can take a huge toll on emotional well-being. 

It makes us question every decision and even blame ourselves for our loved one’s actions. It’s especially awful when it catches us completely blindfolded, having no suspicions about the hurtful activities happening behind our backs.

“Experiencing infidelity certainly has a negative impact on our well-being,” Lewandowski noted. “Having a partner cheat on you represents one of the most profound violations of trust in relationships. It’s an experience that can alter how a person navigates their future relationships by making them more jealous, more concerned about being hurt and about their partner abandoning them,” he said, adding that the effects of a partner’s infidelity tend to stick with us for a long time.

Cheating and its consequences can turn our whole world upside down, so people usually find it hard to navigate their feelings and get a grip on their emotions. “When dealing with this experience, keep in mind that it’s ultimately more about the partner and who they are than you,” Lewandowski advised.

“Going forward, it’s important to continue to trust future partners and be willing to make yourself vulnerable because those are key elements to healthy relationships. Granted, you may need to keep reminding yourself that the vast majority of partners are trustworthy and are unlikely to cheat, but you don’t want to allow one bad experience to undermine your future happiness as well,” the relationship expert concluded.

30 Men Share Their Awkward And Infuriating Cheating Wife Stories 2 weeks ago I sent a message to a mutual friend asking to borrow a router. He didn't answer, but no worries he lives near by. I'll just stop by and grab it.
I pull up to his house and start heading down the driveway. He has a long country driveway so it's a few seconds before I see my car( I drive a company vehicle during the day) already there.

My heart began to sink, but they are friends, and business partners, maybe it's nothing. I got out of my van and look up to see the other guy shirtless in his bedroom.

At this point my heart is down on my stomach and I am visiblly shaking. I go in and immediately head upstairs. He is alone, now clothed.
I say " I came to borrow the router, also have you seen my wife? The car is here" He then proceeds to give the worst improve I've ever heard. "Huh? no, she was here at some point though". Whatever I knew she was there I just wanted him to admit it.

I go down, take the router, and head back to the van where I finally encounter my wife topless trying to sneak around the side of his house.

And now here I am

Edit: to all those wondering, I kept the router.
Edit 2: it's a plunge router for woodworking.

Fire up the camera and found 3 videos....

Get in his car. The seat was pushed all the way back and there’s a bracelet on the floor.

First thing I asked was if he had cleaned off the seat when he had finished.

He said yes. Then he realized he was talking to his girlfriend, not one of the many friends who knew about his affair.

The best part is we were all packed up for a weekend out of town for his cousin’s wedding. His parents were in the car behind us. I went. We didn’t speak the entire weekend.

Obligatory not me, but a friend. And I've posted this story twice before:

Early 2000s, my friend's husband was deployed to Iraq. Together, they had a 10 year old son and a happy marriage. One day, while he was deployed, I am at home when another one of our friends calls and screams "Holy S**t, turn on the news right now!" I turn it on to watch a human interest story about a fundraiser at a high school 30 miles away. They're doing Relay for Life or something, and as a "surprise" to one of the participants, they had her "husband" and father of her two grade school children do a video call from Iraq, and displayed it on the football jumbotron.

There on our local news is my friend's husband, telling another woman and two kids how he loves them and can't wait to get back home to them. The news eats it up, about what a great guy he is.
That night, our group of friends convened and decided how we would tell her. I was nominated, so the next day I had to sit her down and tell her what we saw. She called the news station, and they were happy to let her come in and watch the story. They were also incredibly apologetic.

Story has a somewhat crappy ending, I'm afraid. She called him out on his bs, they started divorce proceedings, and he went on to legally marry the mother of his other kids, and mostly ignored his son from the first marriage.

I checked and he'd been sleeping with her for a month, including the day before (Christmas eve), while I was at home with his parents and their child, preparing Christmas dinner and he was 'working.'

Not my relationship, but my boyfriend’s Mom took me out to lunch to get to know me better. We really kicked it off and had a great lunch. She had to run home because she forgot to grab a gift for a shower we had to attend after and we found her husband ducking the neighbor on the couch... She was mortified and never the same around me again. Her son and I split because of that (he didn’t think his Dad was wrong because his mom gained weight- as in she was now 140 5’6” and not 120), so I never found out what happened.

Well, he wasn't my spouse, but he had proposed to me that morning. He said he had to go into work to cover a shift, but when he didn't call me for his dinner break, as he usually did when he worked that shift, I got worried (He was an LEO) and called him.


Someone else picked up his phone, explained that the "guy whose phone this is, yeah, I think he went up to a room with his girlfriend, we have it down here waiting for him". They were at a hotel. Turns out he used it as an excuse to sleep with another woman he knew from when they were in the academy together and had been seeing each other for awhile, she was married.


The next morning, when he came to pick me up so we could get our parents to take them to brunch and announce the news, I refused to go with him. In hindsight, I should've waited until we were all at brunch and he had paid the bill to confront him for the free food, but I was young and dumb.

As I pulled into the parking lot, I had a weird thought of wanting to see if there were any cars I didnt recognize. Thought it was a silly thought, so I parked my car and went inside. As I walked to the top of the stairs towards our bedroom, my husband immediately walks out and closes the door behind him. I had to ask him twice if there was a girl in there and he finally said yes. He also made me stand in the kitchen so I couldn't see who she was as she walked out.

She told me about two nights ago that he asked her out on a date and she said “I had to say no” and was visibly sad about it.

I found out my ex boyfriend (dated from 15-18) had been cheating on me when, upon walking into the apartment he shared with his mother and two elementary-aged sisters, the youngest sister asked me “when did you leave?”

I asked her “when was I here?”

She responded, “You were here all night. I could hear you talking to [ex’s name].”

I had not been there for two days at that point. I asked him what she was talking about and he blew bubbles for a few minutes before confessing.

Good riddance.

Edit: not sure if everyone knows “blew bubbles” means having nothing to say yet still talking. It may be local slang. Yes, though, I do think the joke is funny!

Had a weird, sinking feeling that something wasn’t right with the new friend from college. Opened his phone after he randomly changed the lock screen (he gave me the password drunk) and saw all the notes. They were kind of odd so I confronted him, only to be told I’m crazy and it’s nothing. Went to work and messaged her on Facebook since I now knew her name. Turns out he said I was away in the hospital and was pretending to date me for my mental health and that they could date for real.

We both confronted him, she decides to date him again and slanders me. Just found out he cheated on her though which is some sweet justice.

After a week visiting friends in London, England, I flew back to Canada. I was supposed to do something with another group of friends when I got back, but plans fell through so I drove the 4 hours home to the apartment we shared. She expected me home at 6pm...I'd been up for 30 straight hours and got home at 6am, wanting nothing more than to fall into bed. There was an extra set of feet, attached to some a*****e, when I walked in.

Technically the girl is the a*****e - the dude might not have even known she was in a relationship.

Came home early. They were fast enough to get dressed but not in a natural state of being, if that makes sense. It was obvious something was just going down. Very cliched “got walked in on and tried to play it cool” like you see in tv. I asked him to leave and he did.

We argued, she tried to lie but soon confessed. It wasn’t the first time she cheated but it was the first time that I caught her in the act. Everything in the past was just texts and stuff. She said that she never slept with the other people and it was just pics and flirting. In retrospect, that may not be BS.

We divorced, both remarried. Not friends by any stretch, but civil.

My cousin was visiting us for a long weekend. She and I were super close, like sisters. I went upstairs to put the baby to bed, came back down to them going at it on the couch. So that was fun.

Guess I wasn't supposed to be home...FedEx delivered two tickets to Vegas right to the house. Tickets have her name and some other dude.

That's when I knew. Confronted her, and, well, left with which what I could in the back of my trunk. Was too mad to think straight, left important things.

Sold the house as fast as I could. That's to say, 9 months later. Selling a home during a split is horrendous

Using an alt account because duh.

​

Wife had been texting A LOT and was very evasive when I inquired about it, though she smirked when she thought it was making me jealous (yeah, she's that kind of person).

​

Turns out she'd left her email logged into my cell phone. So I noticed that she had a weekend Airbnb trip to a place that was a state away (we were living in different states at the time), that seemed to be of the "quiet romantic getaway" type. Total occupancy: 2. Hmmm....well, I thought that was fairly suspicious.

​

So, I monitored her Airbnb page, which was easy since we were friends on Airbnb, figuring that the owner might leave a comment about how great she was as a guest. Which it turned out, she did. Except the review went something like, "(wife's name) and (guy not named me) were wonderful guests" and so on. Yeah, so, anyone want to guess what the conditional probability is of that weekend trip involving infidelity? Pretty sure it's high.

​

Wife apparently panicked, asked Airbnb to remove the review, altered her name on the site (?), and then finally, having failed to get the review taken down, deleted her account.

​

I eventually asked her about it during a counseling session and she had a ready-made defense about how she'd meant to take the trip with another coworker, but that person's car broke down so (guy's name) ended up tagging along since (guy's name) was that coworker's boyfriend, and they all stayed there together, but (guy's name) signed the guestbook, hence a totally honest mistake.

​

In hindsight, I am pretty sure she was not telling the truth.

​

We are not still married.

I got a new job with a cell phone company. Free phone for me 15 a month for her. First bill comes in with call detail. She was on the phone an hour a day with this number while supposedly at work. I call, dude answers. I hang up. I ask her, she lies and said it was a gal pal of hers. I told her I know she is lying and call it again. Dude answers. F**k you Brooke.

The day after I left him I get a call from the cops saying he was trying to entice a minor. Like To catch a predator c**p. Well that’s my story.

A professor at my college accidentally posted handwritten letters from (or to?) his mistress on his class’s website today.

His wife is also a professor at my college.


Wonder how that ones playing out this evening. Yikes.

Edit: I will update if possible! One of my friends actually read the letters today, since clearly some students saved them and they started circulating. I’ll have to ask her about more details.

No clue how the mix up happened, but I really feel for his wife. Not a fun way to find out, and not fun to have it broadcasted on campus either.


Edit 2: texted my friend who read the letters, this is what she said “Yeah it was crazy it was about men and women and their relationship with sex... and it was pretty stereotypical and like psychological idk how to explain it and there was a flow chart in it basically explaining how to handle him regarding sex“

Apparently the letter was cringe-City.

**Edit 3: While a lot of you want to see the letters, I do not have them and wouldn’t share the screenshots anyways. Something about that is against my moral compass, but glad you were all entertained as much as I was! I found it funny this question was asked right after I heard about this so I just had to post!

Probably one of the more shocking twists was that this professor is actually QUITE young (early 30s it looks like). I totally envisioned this being an old dude.**

Edit 4: So, apparently this actually happened May of this year, but the letter had resurfaced yesterday. The professor is no longer at my college and allegedly had a bit of a mental breakdown.


I did get to see the flow chart... it was... weird.

On family vacation, I picked up his phone because I was bored and the kids were playing on mine. Saw a message to some girl describing the sex he and I had the night before. Spent the rest of the vacation fighting via text while trying (and failing) to act normal.

5 months ago I caught my soon-to-be ex-wife messaging with a mutual friend of ours on Facebook. She had started to get close to him and had a drunken night with him when I found out that she had kissed him and started to have feelings for him. She then stormed out the door when I confronted her, with an overnight bag, slept with him, and has not come home since. 4 years and 1 1/2 married down the drain.

Woke up to her on her phone with hearts scrolling in Facebook Messenger.

We were married 7 years at that point. 2 kids.

It was my birthday.

Edit: I won’t feign total innocence: marriage is hard. I was working and in school full time so she could be a stay at home mom, which was our goal. She realized she wanted something else and moved on. S**t happens. Roll with the punches.

“Marriage” is just being with someone. It’s not inherently hard. Long term relationships can go through good and bad periods. Some people find being with their partners easy, other people have a lot of ups and downs. Life’s other circumstances can make things, including your relationship with your partner, easier and harder.

Not a horror story as much as just what I expect on this thread.



I was dating this guy and because we are young, I noticed he wasn't following me back on Instagram. I was like "wow, so rude" but quickly thought nothing else of it. Until I looked through his tagged photos. Less that 24 hours prior, his girlfriend had just posted how much she loved him and how great he was. Such a sinking feeling.

My ex met someone in one of his classes who told him about how poly relationships worked so he started “dating” her and another girl. He never talked to or told me about it to see if I was interested and I found out when I dropped by his house one day after visiting my dad and he was in bed with the two of them.

They recently broke up because the two women decided that because he’s a straight cis male, they can’t date someone “like that”

Edit: I need to make better sense

Sounds like the person cheating was pretty stupid. Or maybe they just didn’t care. Horrible anyway.

Didn’t happen to me, but my closest friend growing up. He was making out with his girlfriend in the back of her car (which at the time she had only had for a week) and he put his hand on the back of the car somewhere between the back of the head rests and the rear windshield. I guess the opposite of a dash board? Anyways he put his hand in a semi-fresh load of jizz. And her answer was that her gum must have flew from her mouth and land back their and the sun melted it into a jizz like substance!

Christmas Eve I went into the computer to find a photo for a last minute gift, an ornament with a family photo I did for her as a tradition every year. Instead found a love letter from some guy at the gym to her. Then kept looking and founds tons more. Over the next year , it just got worse and worse to a point you'd never believe.

​

Gosh, that was a fun Christmas for me and our young children.

I had a boyfriend in high school who was a couple years older than me so no longer in school. I was 16 he was 18. We had been dating off and on for a year or two by this point. His younger sister is in my lit class. She comes into class and is a wreck, crying her eyes out. I ask what's wrong. He informs me her brother, who I am dating, and his girlfriend just suffered a miscarriage... I'm like, "his girlfriend?" Yep. Dating me and someone else. I'd love to say I learned my lesson with him but no. We continued to date like this until I was 18 and pregnant with my oldest son. Our son is 11 and has never met him. He married the other girl but it ended in divorce with 2 kids. His new wife has 2 kids of her own and 2 with him now.

Was going to post a cute little note on his facebook for our 6month wedding anniversary. Accidentally caught him messaging his ex about how awful of a wife I am and how he missed her. Decided to dig further (stupid me) and saw that he had a tinder for a week while I was taking care of my mother as well as visiting backpage multiple times. And then I found a condom under our bed.

My stupid a*s forgave him.

Her phone got a text from her friend who was in the kitchen with her. So I assumed one of them sent it to me, opened her phone to see a penis. Her friend doesn't have a penis.


Now I'm divorced and don't trust texts from friends.

The first paragraph doesn’t make sense. Her phone got a text, this person assumed that meant it was for them? The second paragraph: whilst I can totally understand this person’s trust has been annihilated, they are going to have to change “not trusting texts from friends” because that’s not healthy.

She fell asleep drunk with the hidden phone he gave her in her hand. Went to bed saw her holding some strange phone as it was not even close to what she had at the time, grabbed it saw all the messages and let the madness ensue!!!
