It’s brutal out here.

Reddit userh3llofaRideasked people of the community, “Whats the worstcheating storyyouve ever heard?”

Welp, folks were transparent as heck, and unfortunately shared some truly baffling stories.

Oprah Winfrey meme: "That person's cheating, that person's cheating!"

Like, the AUDACITY of people cheating on their partners like this…it’s unbelievable.

“My bio mom’s best friend was diagnosed with Stage 4 lung cancer.

We moved her, her husband, and her daughter in.

They did this just so they wouldn’t have to deal with the consequences.

She died alone because she went to her ‘best friend’ for help.”

“I don’t speak to bio mom anymore.

A woman holds a man from behind and gestures for silence by placing her finger on her lips in an intimate setting

Some people are disgusting.”

“A couple was together for eight years.

Both worked at sea on the same ship for eight to 11-week trips.

A person stands in a doorway watching a couple, partially covered by a blanket, engaging intimately on a bed in a softly lit room

They bought a house and were heading towards marriage and having kids.

At the start of an 11-week trip, the guy noticed something wasn’t right.

His girlfriend had fucked a crew member on the trip and wanted to be with them instead.

“There was a former colleague of mine in his mid-thirties.

Silhouettes of a man and woman standing back to back, looking downward, suggesting conflict or sadness

He was living with his long-term girlfriend, and they had been shopping for engagement rings.

No apology, no further explanation.

She immediately blocked him and left him to deal with the rent and other bills on his own.

He was a nice guy, so it was horrendous to see that happen to him.

Hes happily married now to someone else.”

“My best friend was madly in love with a woman and wanted to marry her.

They lived together and were very happy.

As a birthday gift, she bought him a plane ticket so he could fly out to see me.

His spidey senses were tingling.

He came home and found evidence that she had someone over at their place.

She initially denied it, but eventually, she admitted to having a male coworker in the house.

My buddy was devastated and heartbroken.

It took him years to recover.”

“I know someone who regularly cheated on their out-of-town girlfriend.

She moved to his state, and they got an apartment together.

While in the shower, his phone is buzzing with messages.

The other girl was completely honest with her, and said, ‘I know who you are.

“My ex-boss fucked his wife’s niece in the bushes on a hike.

Her husband caught them, and they all got divorced.

He ended up marrying his ex-wife’s niece a few years later.

His ex-wife and his current wife are all best friends again it’s weird.”

I proposed and she said yes.

She’d tell them I had broken into the house and never to contact them again.

A bunch of them went out one night.

I didn’t go out, but I heard about what happened later on.

The girl ended up fucking the dad that night.”

I was working a lot to cover everything.

This guy was also married and his wife worked with them.

It did not end well for them.”

“I had a married coworker who started having an affair with a customer who was also married.

They’d sneak out to make out in the parking lot on his breaks.

He texted her nonstop while he was supposed to be working.

The whole store knew about it.

We all knew they were both married.

Finally, they both decided that they were going to break it off with their spouses.

He broke up with his wife, but she decided to work things out with her husband.

So he went from two ladies to no ladies.

This was years ago, and I do not think he’s been in another serious relationship since.

And on behalf of all women, I am glad.”

I was also in the thick of an accelerated nursing school program, and it was finals week.

My car had ALSO just broken down in the drive-through of a Whataburger that same weekend.

The girl he cheated with?

A very close friend who was getting married in a month.

She begged me not to tell her future fiance (but I told him).”

He had gone to the police to report that he was being blackmailed."

The cops were suspicious and found out he had hired her.

He was fired from his job at the school, and it crushed my friend.

Shes still with him.
