People Are Sharing Shocking Stories About Marriage, Affairs, & Weddings

If you’ve committed your time, energy, and love into a monogamous relationship, one of the partners breaking that trust is absolutely huge. An affair can have lasting effects on everyone involved and it’s hard to imagine what it would feel like to be in this situation and what leads to it. These are stories of affairs from people who have cheated and/or been cheated on.

Oh, Wow

With the development of the internet and social media on the rise, we're more connected now than we ever have been. You might even meet strangers online.

If you hear from someone online, you would hope it was a positive comment on a post or maybe a birthday wish. No one wants to get a message like this out of the blue. The only silver lining this person could find was that they found out about their partner's affairs before they had to pay for a divorce.

Happy Anniversary?

You might grab your partner's phone to look something up when you're in a hurry. They might even ask you to look up something for them when they're too busy to grab their phone. Usually, you look up what you need to look up and move on.

What this person wasn't expecting was for their partner to hand them her phone to make a restaurant reservation only to reveal a few concerning messages. From there, it snowballed into a horrifying revelation.

A Complicated Story

While there are all sorts of reasons that someone might cheat, different stories evoke different emotions. You might not feel as angry at someone reading a story like this.

After all, this person was in a hard situation, married to someone who was treating them in an unacceptable manner. Still, they note that the long-term affair did affect the relationship that this person had with their children too - and they didn't hold it against them. A parental revelation like this would shock most kids.

Yes, You Do

First and foremost, we want to agree with this person on the point that they definitely deserved better. Your spouse should be someone you can turn to and feel safe, not frightened.

Their affair, as they explain it, was an escape from the situation that they shouldn't have had to deal with. While this person may have regrets about how they handled the situation, we're glad to hear that they left their husband and found a better life.
