I confronted my bf that he was cheating on me. He repeatedly said “I haven’t been with another woman since I met you.” I know, I said. I continued with the allegation. He kept insisting “no other woman since I met you.” Over and over until.

It clicked.

He stopped talking. I saw it in his eyes. He knew I knew.

Mine is milder than a lot on here, but when I put on some shapewear and it made my insides feel funny. I had had a tubal four years before, and my husband and I had only had sex once in the previous few months (depression on my part), so he and my sister kept telling me there was no way, especially since it had only been about three weeks since our one-off. Next morning I puked and took the damn test. My surprise caboose is 7 now, and I finally got one that looks like me, lol.

To learn more about the importance of trusting your gut, we reached out to philosopher, poet and writer, Susanna Newsonen, who was kind enough to have a chat with Bored Panda.

"Humans have survived in the 'wild' for hundreds of thousands of years, and that is thanks to our instincts," she shared. "It's only our modern society that has devalued the idea of gut instinct in preference for pure brain power. The reality is that you need both. The good news is that the brain and the gut are constantly communicating with each other. The bad news is that the brain doesn't always agree with the gut when it over-rationalizes situations and, as a result, the gut isn't always listened to."

Suffered from chronic lower back pain for years. Went to the doctor who flippantly told me to fix my posture.

Went to a chiro who told me to come in weekly for "adjustment."

Gave up for a while.

Went to another doctor who took an x-ray and told me there wasn't anything wrong with me.

One day I went to the doctor for a hernia who had me take an MRI. Was told the MRI would be like 20 minutes, ended up being 45.

Doctor sits me down and says, "Yeah, that's a hernia all right ... but did you know that you have degenerative disc disease? The discs in your lower spine are some of the worst I've ever seen."

Blew my mind that it took like 15 years of chronic lower back pain to get diagnosed for something that went on a doctor's wall of fame.

I'm a supply chain professional. In the very early days of covid's impact here in the US, myself and many people like me saw what was happening in China and other places and knew, for certain, that there was a massive supply chain shock and crazy inflation coming.

It was extremely obvious and predictable, months before it hit full force. I kept waiting and waiting for someone in the government to talk and do something about it, but no one did. Then it happened.

Then, I heard countless outlets from the wall street journal to Bloomberg to John oliver talking about it and pointing out these factors and causes, that me and hundreds of people like me, were fluently aware of and saw coming clear as day, months ago.

That was when I really lost faith in the system, and I didn't have that much to begin with.

"This is a big shame as your gut instincts know more than the brain does," Susanna continued. "The brain has processed everything you've ever experienced, but it's your gut that's the expert in knowing how you actually felt in those situations. That's why it's so important to listen to it. It's driven by your past experiences and the feelings around them. This makes it an excellent guide in deciding whether to do something or not. In my experience, your gut instinct is very often right, especially when it comes to making decisions based on how you want to feel."

Told my parents for years as a kid I didn’t like my grandmother and felt something very off about her… found out when we were older she did some pretty horrible things to my sister…

Fast forward a few years after all this and I get a message with a news article of her being arrested for f*****g a student.

Susanna also opened up about some of her own personal experiences where trusting her intuition was the right move. "The biggest one was canceling my wedding four months before it was due to take place, as I knew the man I was about to marry wasn't the right one," she told Bored Panda.

"On the outside, I portrayed the perfect image and on the inside, my gut was shouting hell no. And it was right. Now, in hindsight, I realized I was in an emotionally abusive relationship where he constantly tried to control the narrative as well as what I did and even how I dressed," the expert explained. "Needless to say, it wasn't a healthy one. But for some reason, because I was so deep in it, I didn't see it then."

We were also curious to know if Susanna had ever regretted refusing to listen to her instincts. "I do remember ignoring them - ironically again at a wedding scenario," she shared. "One of my best friends was getting married in Dubai but with only a few months' notice. I was living in London, UK at the time, so it was a scramble to try and get myself organized."

"Eventually, I realized I had a very important work meeting with a senior member of the company on Monday morning, and the wedding was planned for Saturday evening. With the time difference and flights available, I couldn't find a way to make it to both," Susanna continued. "Stupidly, I ignored my gut feeling to go support my best friend on this day and instead followed my brain to focus on my career path. I missed the wedding and have regretted it ever since. I left the job a year later, so it wasn't the right one for me anyways. Thankfully, my friend was super understanding and we're still very close."

I had a lot of suspicions that my ex was cheating. It started out small, like she was just starting to close herself in more. I thought it was stress and depression so I gave her space and she only wanted more and more space. She never wanted to talk to me about it and any approach I made was met with hostility. One day I went to check her PC for something and noticed her login wasn't the same. For the 5 years we'd been together, it was always the same and that's what gave me the first gut feeling. I went onto my PC and tried logging into her FB to; 1.Maybe see if it would answer what's going on with her or 2.see if that password has been changed too. Turned out all her passwords were suddenly changed. I didn't wanna believe that it might be cheating so I thought I'd at least be transparent and ask her why she decided to change everything. She was shocked, angry and fumbled her answer which really made my feelings even worse.

We were quite open with each other and had an open door rule with accounts and what not as she'd been cheated on before so she wanted to know she could "make sure" I wasn't doing anything suspicious.

One day I saw she left her PC logged in as she went to take a shower. So I took the opportunity to use our original policy and see what she'd been up to. It didn't take me long to find a bunch of conversations between her and a guy she'd met playing GTA RP. When she got out of the shower and saw me sitting in her chair her face looked a bit worried. So I started by asking her "so you and Avery huh?".

My only regret is that I tried to make it work after, in an attempt to save the house. Should have told her to pack a bag and gtfo before I show everyone her explicit conversations.

Susanna shared that she had also ignored her gut a few times while working in the corporate world. "The peer pressure to fit the norm is something else, and even when my gut was telling me not to do something, my colleagues convinced me otherwise," she noted.

"It didn't lead to anything destructive, but it did lead me to feeling disappointed in myself as I knew I wasn't living my truth. Don't ever let others tempt you out of listening to your gut instinct," she told Bored Panda. "If it's a no, it's a no for a reason (even if you can't yet articulate it and it's just a feeling). You should never feel the need to justify your decisions based on gut feeling. You can just say, 'I just feel this is what's best', and leave it at that.

We also asked the expert for advice on how people can get better at following their own instincts. "Slow down and listen.

"Don't underestimate the value of connecting to yourself and your inner voice. This is what is going to best guide you in your life and lead you to your happiest, most fulfilling life."

"No one else can tell you what's right for you because only you know what's best for you. Learn to listen to your gut because it will know what is best," the expert continued. "The more you practice it, the easier it will get. And even if your brain might be saying yes, try to high pause on all the rational thoughts and ask yourself, 'How do I actually feel about this?'"

I suspected that an allegedly close friend of mine was the one spreading lies about me behind my back. She was the kind of girl who would always say I was her best friend, I was her sister, etc. but would rarely contact me unless she needed something. Found out people knew things about me I'd only told one or two others in confidence, so I made up something about myself and told it to only her. Rest of our friends learnt it and confronted me about it and I had my "I knew it" moment. Never spoke to her again.

Edit: the "thing" I made up - a different girl in our friend group had cheated on her boyfriend with another guy in the friend group whom I'd been texting with but it never went anywhere serious as I found him a bit sus (he told me he was in love with me 4 days into texting). I told the snake friend that we were dating and told her not to tell anyone because I wasn't ready for people to know. Around the time the other girl's boyfriend found out about her and the guy, my snake friend told everyone about me and the guy implying that I'd also been cheated on. Not only that but she heavily implied that I deserved it because...she had a crush on that guy EVEN THOUGH she had a boyfriend. This all sounds like high school drama but sadly it happened mostly in our early 20s. I'm not friends with any of those people anymore.

It took me a few years before I even figured out she was the one spreading ridiculous rumours about me. Finally during my third year at uni I heard from an old high school buddy that I had apparently: gotten knocked up, had no idea who the father was, and had given myself an abortion with a coat hanger. Anyone who knew me even a little would have known there was no chance of any of that happening, which is how the rumours were all eventually traced back to her. F*ck you, Marissa.

Edited for more clarity so that people don’t mistakenly think I’m the biggest nitwit this side of the Internet: I suspected that something was going on for years, but had no evidence and was repeatedly called crazy, insecure, jealous etc.

Divorced his a**e nearly 6 years later, got in touch with his ex (that’s the long story I didn’t want to get into), and then finally saw the screenshots. Had I seen them earlier, I’d have hightailed it out of there.

He also faked a text from her, later in our marriage, begging to take him back — just to make me feel like s**t. Had my suspicions about that text too, and she confirmed it was fake at the same time she sent me the (real) screenshots.

The day I confirmed my ex had secretly turned into an alcoholic was pretty rough. Long story short, she showed up to my house stumbling and then it clicked…all those times I thought it was alcohol in her breath it was—I had just been gas lit to believe other wise.

You're not my ex (we lived together), but i feel you. I was the alcoholic. I'm ashamed every day. He wasn't a good man, but he didn't deserve what I put him through. Be well in future relationships. Edit: I got engaged last night to a man I'm completely honest with. He supports me in all ways, knows my history, and life is healthier.
