I hope you enjoy this story. Discovered my betrothed being unfaithful with her colleague just two months prior to our marriage, deceive me about cutting off communication and currently resides with her illicit partner. My soon-to-be spouse, a 26-year-old woman, and I, 27M, had been together for nearly five years after meeting in college. My partner and I are both Indian but were born and raised in the U.S. Despite challenges like coming from different religious backgrounds and periods of long distance, we got engaged in early December 2023 with plans to get married in December 2024. We live in different states due to my job and are pursuing a doctorate nurse practitioner degree

while working a nursing job at a hospital. Things took an awful turn when February 2024 hit. Some additional background, in mid-December 2023 when I was with her at her place of residence, We grabbed brunch with her Future AP, 42M, and his wife, married for eight years. The Future AP was a co-worker where she had a great relationship with. I never got any bad vibes from him. In fact, he seemed to be a good guy. He and his wife even gave my fiancé and me Christmas gifts after we had met.

Fast forward a bit, my fiancé was with me during Valentine's week, and everything was great between us that week. I did notice, however, that she was texting her coworker a bit too often to the point that I even took notice. Again, I trusted her and didn't think too much of it at the time. She wasn't hiding it either, even suggesting for us to watch a movie that the coworker recommended. Eventually, she had to catch the flight back to her residence due to her job and left on a Wednesday morning. The day after, she texted me that she was going to grab brunch with the coworker. Again, there was nothing wrong with it at the time for me. I knew they were good friends, and I had no problem with it.

However, in hindsight, all the problems started with that brunch. For the next week, I did notice she was texting me a little less often, and she was a bit more distant towards me. She texted me that she felt off, and I asked what was going on, and all she said was it was stress from school and work. The reality was much worse. Eventually, I got my first D-Day. She called me on February 28 that night.

She confessed that she had kissed and loved the co-worker the day before. She said, I never thought I could love more than one person at the same time, and that she felt she loved him in a past life. Obviously, just hearing all those things upset me, and I was in shock. She mentioned that the brunch she had with him was where he confessed his feelings for her. That was what was bothering her the week I noticed she felt off and distant towards me. She described to me that this happened suddenly on the night of February 27th and had a lot of consequences for both of them.

After our nightly call, she got a text from her AP that he wanted to talk in person about something. They met at a bar to discuss the state of their relationship. The details I'm honestly not too sure about, even now. I guess for some reason, the bathroom wasn't working. at the bar, and the AP had to use the bathroom, and my fiancé suggested him to use the bathroom at her place. This somehow led to a kiss at her apartment. I asked her straight out if she had also had sex with him. She said no. I believed her. More on that later. My fiancé also said she

was confronted by the AP's wife that same night. Unbeknownst to them, the AP's wife was tracking his location and confronted my fiancé in the AP at my fiancé's apartment. The whole confrontation was negative, to say the least. I don't have the full details about what happened between the three of them. But all I know is that the AP confessed that he loved my fiancé during that confrontation in front of the AP's wife. My fiancé reiterated how much she loved me and told me she broke off contact with the AP and told him that she wished she never met him.

I myself was still in shock and needed a few days to process the whole thing. I texted her in a limited fashion compared to how I was in the past. For more context, at this point, we had already booked a wedding venue set for December 2024 and had booked wedding vendors, and she had bought wedding dresses as well. So the fact that she had done this was such a shock to me, given how much investment we had put into each other. She was supposed to go home to where her parents lived to pick up a wedding dress she had bought the first weekend of March 24. However, she wasn't in the right mindset and decided not to go. Her immediate family thought this behavior was unlike her, so they actually

drove all the way to her place to understand what was going on with her. After a few days of processing this myself, I still thought the relationship was salvageable. I thought to myself, okay, it's just a kiss even though she said she loved him. She said she broke off contact. We needed to go to couples counseling and pause any sort of wedding plans this year and just work on us. I asked her if we could call again on Saturday, March 2nd, to talk about our relationship. She agreed. We called on Saturday. I explained to her that we needed to pause wedding planning. She agreed but said we actually needed to stop the wedding entirely as well. I asked why. She said then that I knew why.

After a few seconds, I realized the unthinkable. I reluctantly asked if she had also had sex with him. She said yes. And I broke down and wailed on the call. We basically broke it off at that point. She asked if we could have limited contact, and I agreed, mainly because her family knew the full extent of her actions and essentially disowned her out of shame. I didn't want her to be isolated, and I felt comfortable enough to keep contact because she broke off contact with the AP. That was my assumption at the time.

In the next two weeks, I was surrounded by a good support system to get me through it. My parents came down to give me company after I told them of my fiancée's cheating. They were sad for me, but they were also relieved I wasn't going through with the marriage due to the religious differences. I was raised Christian. I also hung out with friends for another week that came down to my apartment to give company and support as well. In those weeks, I was going back and forth about giving my fiancé another chance and attempting reconciliation. My justification was that my fiancé showed remorse, was accountable, and broke off contact with the AP. My plan for going through with reconciliation was that I needed to have access to her communications.

We needed to either attend discernment slash couples counseling, she and I had to go through individual counseling, and we also needed to define boundaries more clearly. That was my plan. In my limited contact with her, I asked if we could have a call later in the week to discuss things. She agreed. I brought up the idea of reconciliation to my parents two nights before the scheduled call. They were not in agreement with my decision. They said I was making a mistake.

Then my mom said something odd. For reference, my parents had met my fiancé's parents already, and they occasionally called each other. After the whole cheating situation, my fiancé's mom called my mom at some point to vent and debrief about the whole thing to her. In that call, my fiancé's mom told my mom that the AP was with my fiancé at her apartment when my fiancé's parents were confronting her about it. I was shocked when my mom told me this.

My fiancé had said she broke off contact with him. Why would he be with her when her parents were confronting her? I texted her that night while she was at work, asking, is, AP, living with you? Her first response was, why are you asking that? Obviously, I wasn't thrilled with that initial response. It's a simple yes or no question, and I felt like I had a right to know given our history and situation. But eventually, she confessed that the AP's wife kicked him out of their house, and the AP was spending thousands of dollars on hotels, and my fiancé allowed him to live with her because of that. When her parents confronted her, he was only there initially for her support but is now living with her afterwards.

I was livid. This was absolutely disrespectful to our relationship, letting the affair partner live with my fiancé. I straightforwardly told her that it was a bad fucking idea to have him at her place. And her response was, why are you saying that? He just needs a place to stay for now. I never in my life thought I would have to explain my thought process for something like that. I thought it was obvious. My simple explanation was that the affair partner ruined our relationship. And her response was, AP, please, I ruined him and his wife.

I was flabbergasted. Why was she prioritizing him over me? The person she said yes to marrying just three months ago. I mentioned that the reason I wanted to call was that I wanted to try reconciliation. But after she kept this hidden from me, I immediately reconsidered. Her response was that even if I did want to work on us, it wouldn't have been the same as before. I told her not to bother calling me if he was still at her place. She begged me not to say that.

to stop saying that. I wanted to have closure with her in some capacity, but after him living with her, and keeping that for me for weeks, it wouldn't help because I wouldn't believe a word coming out of her mouth. She acknowledged that she messed up, insisted on caring about my well-being, but she admits the cause of this whole affair was that she loved the affair partner. Despite telling me this, she still wants to know that I am okay. I told her no, she doesn't deserve to know that I am okay. The cheating was horrible enough by itself. But I assumed it was a sudden thing and that it wouldn't happen again. But I was a fool for believing that. Allowing the affair partner to live with her was a conscious decision. A slap in my face

and disrespected me to the fullest. I straightforwardly told her that she can't keep in contact with both of us. She can only contact me if he's out of the apartment, otherwise, she can fuck off. That was the last thing I said to her, and I have not gotten a reply from her since March 21st, 2024. Fun fact, I was talking with her best friend about this whole situation about a week after this, and you want to know something. Apparently, he started living with her either the day we officially broke it off or the day after. WTF. I don't even know who she is anymore. The person I proposed to in December 2023 is long gone. I can't help her anymore with her problems because of what she has done to me. All I hope now is that she comes to her senses and

realizes what a mistake she's making by having him live there with her. She's just such a broken individual right now. Want to know something else? Her parents are divorced. You know why they divorced. Her dad cheated on her mom. She despised her dad because of it. And she did the exact same thing to me. How ironic. So yeah, that's where I am at. I'm trying to heal, but it's hard. I can't stop the mental imagery of the affair from popping up, and I always wake up in the middle of the night ever since this happened. It is horrible. I am grateful for my friends and family who kept me sane. But it's still so hard knowing she cheated on me. I never thought she would do this to me after we've been through together. Now on to the next story. Story 2. G.F. got a promotion and started

working late. I trusted her, until I found her texts with a co-worker. I caught them in the act and made sure her boss and the company knew. I, 25 male, and my girlfriend, 24 female, met 3.5 male, Three years ago at a party my fraternity was hosting. Admittedly, I was pretty wild toward the end of my college experience. I felt like I had everything figured out in the last semester I was in school I had a huge case of senioritis. When I met my girlfriend originally, I thought it was just going to be a hookup. However, I quickly realized that she and I had something serious between us.

We started officially dating and we were monogamous toward each other. We both graduated and got jobs after college and about a year after we decided to move and together. Both of us were new in our fields and we were doing everything in our power to work our way up. My girlfriend wasn't very happy with her job. She felt like she was being overlooked a lot of the time and some of the tasks that she was doing seemed disrespectful compared to things some of the other employees were doing. It ended up paying off for her because she was offered a promotion directly by her boss. She had a lot more responsibility and she got quite a large pay raise alongside it. The initial job description she gave me didn't make it seem like she would be spending a lot of late nights at the office.

But every so often I would get a text message saying that she wouldn't be coming home for dinner. I'd offer to bring her food or stop by and help her out so she wasn't there too late, but she always declined. I really trusted her so I never thought anything was happening. I believed everything she said when she told her. me she was working. A couple of months after she got her promotion, she told me that she would be traveling to a conference for work. It was going to be across the country in Los Angeles. There were a ton of things she had always wanted to do, and several of them were in California. We had talked about vacationing there together before, so I suggested that

it could be fun for me to take the time off work and join her. She quickly shut that idea down. I was hurt by how fast she rejected it, but she just told me that we couldn't afford the lost time. I moved on from that pretty quickly and I was just happy for her that she was finally going to get to go. The weeks leading up to her business trip were mostly uneventful. A few days before she left, we got into a small argument about our relationship. She had been staying late at work more often and I felt like she wasn't being attentive so I confronted her about it. She was really defensive and tried to tell me that she just had to work harder than I did to get places in life. Our different upbringings have been a point of contention with us in the past, but I hated when she brought it up.

I've been lucky enough to have familial connections in my industry. I grew up in an upper class household and I was able to afford to go to good schools. I was a legacy in my fraternity, and I had plenty of contacts thanks to my family. My girlfriend didn't have any of that and she would often throw it in my face as if I didn't deserve any of the accomplishments I'd made. After the argument things were a little awkward, but she promised me that we would talk more about it when she got back from her trip. I told myself that I was just going to forget about it and let her enjoy her time while she was there. Before she left, she told me that she would call me every night that she was in California. I had actually been looking forward to it because I was interested to know what she was getting

up to. The first night, she called me and gave me a rundown of her entire day. She was somewhat jet lagged and exhausted from the plane ride then so there wasn't much to report. Though, on the second day I was waiting by the phone at the time we set aside to call and she never reached out. I ended up texting her to see what was going on, but she didn't reply until the morning. She told me she passed out and didn't set an alarm. I accepted that.

She had given me no reason to doubt that story, so I believed it. Once again the following night she never called me. I felt kind of foolish just waiting by the phone for her to reach out. I ended up getting an invite to a party a friend was throwing, so I went to that instead. Aside from texting every so often, I didn't talk to her for the entire five days she was in California. I was excited for her to come home, but at the same time, I knew that we were going to have to have a difficult conversation. When she finally got back, it almost seemed like she didn't want anything to do with me. The distance between us seemed to have tripled in the short time she was gone.

I tried to talk to her about it, but she just didn't want to talk. It was incredibly frustrating trying to deal with her when she was putting so little effort into communicating. So, I took to the internet to try to figure out what was going on. From everything I could gather it seemed to be a logical conclusion that something might have happened with another person outside of our relationship. I didn't want to believe that she was cheating on me, but I needed to at least rule that out. I didn't know how to ask her about it, so the first chance I had to look through her phone I took it. We knew each other's passwords, so it wasn't hard getting in.

The difficult part was trying to figure out what. I was looking for. I looked through her pictures and I didn't see anything. I didn't find anything in her recent messages that was alarming. I ended up searching through the messages for some keywords that might tip off anything serious going on. When I typed in the word together, a lot of different messages came up. However, I was able to read from the snippets of text that there was somebody who had recently messaged her about wanting to be together. I clicked on the messages and I read through all of them. I didn't know the man she had been texting, but from what I could gather it was a co-worker. Apparently, they had been sleeping together for some time.

The man was asking her when she was going to leave me. I didn't know if she had told him that she planned to or if he was just assuming that she would. I was going to make it a lot easier for her and break up with her. It was clear that she didn't want me to go to California with her because she planned on spending the week with him. It all made sense why she hadn't been available to talk to me during that time. I felt heartbroken initially, that was the last thing I expected her to do and I was shocked to find out she was cheating. When I read about other people in similar situations online, I assumed that it just wouldn't

happen to me. But I was wrong. From their messages, I was able to glean that she and her affair partner had been fooling around on the job. She had done me dirty, so I wanted to make things a little more difficult for her. I knew how hard she worked to get where she was in her company, so I knew how hard it would be for her to lose it all. A couple of nights passed and I played it cool. I stopped pressuring her to talk about the distance between us and I just accepted it. One evening, she texted me at 4.30 p.m. telling me that she was going to be staying late at work. I knew that was her basically saying

she was staying late at work to sleep with this man. I replied and told her that it was okay and then I would put a plate aside for her in the microwave for her to heat up. Of course, I took that opportunity to go find proof that she was cheating on me. No employer wanted to work with people that were having sex in the offices, so I thought if I could get some evidence I could show it to her boss. When I walked in, the building was pretty much empty aside from a janitor. I had to lie and tell him that I was an employee that had forgotten their keys. My girlfriend's office was practically empty, though, after a minute of snooping, I was able to find her and her affair partner in what was very clearly their boss's office.

If I had been worried that their relationship wasn't going to get them both fired before, I knew right away that proof of them sleeping together in his office would. I was as quiet as I had ever been while I took a video and a couple of pictures of them. I was able to get the boss's information through the company's website. I reached out to him and after a few days, he contacted me and told me he wanted to see the evidence that I had mentioned. I brought it to his office. In the middle of a workday where my girlfriend saw me walk in and showed him. My girlfriend was surprised to see me, so she knocked on her boss's door and asked me what I was doing there while trying to pull me in for a friendly hug.

Her boss just glared at her and asked her if she could take a seat before dismissing me from the office. I stood on the outside of the door for a minute while I listened to him fire her. She stormed out and stood in front of me completely shocked. I doubt she had any idea I even knew about the affair before that. I ended things with her right there in front of all of her co-workers and I told her that I wanted her out of the apartment. She tried to play it off like it was her decision because she wanted to be with the work. other man anyway. If that were truly the case, why wouldn't she have just left me to begin with? It's been about six months since all of that happened and I haven't heard from her. We have a lot

of mutual friends from college, and they have told me that she is actively looking for a job. She's been doing online insurance sales in the meantime, which is absolutely nothing she planned to do. As far as they know, she's also single. So, I guess it didn't work out with the other guy. Thank you.
