Welcome to R-slash, a podcast where I read the best posts from across Reddit.
Today's subreddit is R-slash-askreddit. Today's Askreddit question is,
men and women of Reddit who got their
significant others cheating. How did you do that? And what was the reaction? Our first reply is from
head case in a half. June 1st, 2018. A normal day. A Friday. My husband had kissed me goodbye and
gone to work. I was cleaning the house for company who was coming to stay the weekend. The doorbell
ring. There was a man at my door who introduced himself as the husband of a woman who my husband worked
with.
He was there to tell me that my husband and his wife were having an affair.
He had busted them about six months prior and had told his wife that she had to end the
affair.
He thinks that she did end it for about three months, but then they started up again.
When he found out that they were added again, he called my husband because he knew if he
could front him in person, he'd be in a jail cell for what he'd have done.
On the phone, he told my husband to leave his wife alone or else he would come and
tell me everything that was happening.
Apparently, my husband thought that he was bluffing.
So I literally was the last to know.
My husband never came home again. He got an Airbnb and a lawyer. The divorce was December 21, 2018.
We had been together for 24 years. It still hurts. This guy was with her for 24 years and doesn't even bother to come back home to say goodbye.
Wow, that's cold as ice. Our next reply is from Rabbit Overlord. My ex and I used to share
a computer. She was getting messages from her first boyfriend. I didn't bother reading them
because I figured he was just saying hi or when does it know where she wasn't like now. A couple
of months later, I'm on the computer
and she insisted that she log out while I'm there. Okay, things feel weird here. Another couple
of days pass and she wants to visit her parents. Okay cool, I keep the kids and she goes off.
I get a call from one of my buddies who works at a hotel where my ex and I are both from,
saying that my wife just checked in with another guy.
So long story short, I divorced her.
F.U. Stephanie.
Tinskrissant replies to that.
Good job.
It was a bro tell hotel.
Our next reply is from KJV.
I caught my wife after she passed away from cancer.
Worst feeling ever.
Caught between unending love, mourning, and absolute anger.
Oh, how God, Opie, that one hurts the read.
And when someone asked Opie how he found out,
he says, her phone that she was overly protective of
is how I found out.
A week before she passed, she took the passwords off her phone so I could respond to her text and take care of her business. After she passed,
maybe a week or two after she passed, I explored her phone and found numerous texts, emails,
and sexting. Our next reply is from SCM. This is almost word for word how the conversation
went. Are you sleeping with so-and-so? Yeah.
Want a divorce?
Kinda?
Okay, I'll fall tomorrow.
When someone asks if that's really how the conversation went, OP replies.
Oh yeah, it was a super civil conversation.
We were just both at a point where we were just tired.
Let's just rip the bandaid off and get it over with.
Our next reply is from Needmore username.
I went from my yearly check-up and tested positive for Clamidia.
Turns out my ex was sleeping around, and Brooklyn 9 Park's reply said that,
this happened to me too, but my ex baked a doctor's note with the words negative, yet
he was still prescribed antibiotics just in case.
Little did I know that everyone and their
mom advises to never take antibiotics unless you really need them. Also, the condominus while
it was missing, but he insisted he used it with me. I was on the pill. I don't know much about
the law in this situation, but this sounds like it should be super illegal. Isn't this like some
kind of, I don't know, malicious
bioterrorism or something? Our next reply is from Air Love Settie. We got married when I was 17
and he was 21. He was shipping off to sea and I was escaping a bad home life. When he came back
after his deployment, he wasn't the same person anymore. After about six months, he gained weight
on purpose to fail his physical so he gets kicked out of the Navy. Fast forward a year, I'm working full time and he's sitting
at home washing anime and drinking during the day and telling me that he was applying
to jobs. I was applying to universities when my laptop died on me. I asked to use his
to finish an application and while doing so, a message popped up on his Facebook.
It was a topless picture of his ex from her.
I was shocked and opened it to find that they'd been dating for a long time.
They started again while he was at sea in the Navy.
He would talk to her and never to me, saying that he never had the time to email.
She had sent him a picture because he had said
how he missed having big assets like hers to play with. And how mine were just too small,
so he felt like he was passionately hugging a boy or a child. I confronted him, and he
made a bunch of pitiful excuses. I had my friends come to the house that day and kick him
out while I went to work. He then stalked me for the next few years and made posts on his Facebook about how I was
a coward.
He sent emails and called from block numbers to tell me that a restraining order is just
a piece of paper, or that our vows before God made me his property and stuff like that. Then he bought a gun and started telling our friends that if I can't have her
No one can. I ended up talking to our friends and told everyone conflicting information about where I was going and move states.
I deleted all of my personal social media accounts and lived in fear for years.
Watching him continually make memes about how he loved his wife and would do anything
for her.
It took 8 years for me to finally get a divorce from him.
And I like personal ads or replies to that story.
My mom had a boyfriend like that.
I used to have a mom.
He killed her 11 days before I turned 6.
Ladies, especially young vulnerable ladies, if a man ever talks to you like that, please
believe him.
So my instinct is telling me not to include that story because I think there's a pretty
good chance this story is going to get me demonetized.
But I'm specifically choosing to include it because there's really good life advice in this
story. To all my girl listeners out there, don't ever let a guy talk to you like that.
And to all my guy listeners out there, don't ever talk to a woman like that either.

Our next Reddit post is from Fuego Diego. This story is remarkable in that it happened
before the internet was widely available in the very early 90s when the world seemed
much bigger.
My fiance, Meg, had one semester left of college it had to be taken as an internship
abroad for her major.
She chose to go to Belgium for this internship.
I stayed back and the plan was that I would set up the house and when she returned that summer
she would move directly in with me and we would set a date for the wedding.
So while Meg was off in Europe calling every couple of weeks to check in,
long distance phone calls were super expensive back then.
And sending me postcards and letters,
I moved into a brownstone, bot furniture, et cetera.
About two weeks before Meg was supposed to return,
I stopped into a nearby coffee house
that I had noticed on the block, but had yet to visit.
To my surprise, I found that my neighbor
from when I'd grown up in a completely different city, Claire was a waitress there. We hadn't seen each other since high school, so we made
a plan to meet up after her shift for a cup of coffee to catch up. We met, and Claire
told me that she was also engaged to a man named Ben, who was completing his course of study
by working on an internship in, you guessed it, Belgium. I couldn't believe the coincidence and told her about my fiance
and that they had to know each other.
Crazy, right?
A couple of days later, I stopped in for cup of coffee
and Claire looked extremely upset.
She asked if I had time to wait
as she had a break coming up
and that she needed to talk to me.
We went outside and she told me
that she had gotten a call from her aunt Sue the day before. Aunt Su had returned from Czechoslovakia and that something very
strange had happened. While they were touring Prague, her aunt Su and her travel group had
stayed in a local hotel and the next morning she had run into Claire's fiance, Ben, in the lobby,
with a female companion by the name of Meg. She said that he introduced
her as a student from America that they worked together, but it was very awkward and they
both looked completely scared. Claire said that she immediately called long distance to Belgium
and after several tries over the course of a day or so, got him on the phone. She asked
him about the chance encounter, and he said that he had been kind of expecting
her call and ended up admitting that he had been seeing Meg pretty much the entire time
they were in Europe, spending weekends and holidays traveling around with each other.
I was floored.
I couldn't believe it.
I went home and started trying to call Meg at her dorm in Belgium, finally getting through
to her late in the night early morning for her. I point blank asked her if she was dating Ben. I didn't
even explain how I knew about it. She hemmed and hawed for a moment, kind of acting like
I was crazy for saying something so nonsensical. But when I said that I knew Claire, she dropped
the facade and admitted to all of it. So Ben and Meg had a very bittersweet homecoming.
Meg got off much easier than Ben, as Claire had already left all of his belongings on the
front lawn.
From the day that she found out, which had been pretty much picked over by the time he
got back two weeks later.
I did pick Meg up from the airport, I think at the time I just really wanted to see her face
again when I told her that all of her friends knew what a piece of garbage she was, and that I never
wanted to see her again. To this day, I revel in how many utterly astounding factors of complete
random coincidence went into Meg and Ben being caught. And it's worth noting, they were later
married and then later divorced when he cheated on her.
The universe works in incredible and mysterious ways.
And beneath that, Joker replies to that story with a story of his own.
My friend and his wife were in Rome a few years ago on vacation.
She got a text wall in the shower, and he found out she was cheating.
He grabbed his passport, phone, and wallet, took a cab to the airport,
and flew home without leaving a message or saying a word to her. He went home, packed his
bags, moved out, and filed for divorce. He ghosted her the second he discovered it.
The last conversation they ever had was her telling him she was going to take a shower.
Our next reply is from Dallas. I owned a house with my fiance.
I woke up in the middle of the night and he wasn't in bed, so I went searching.
His truck and another vehicle were in the driveway.
Then, I went upstairs and found the guest bedroom was locked.
After barging my way in, I found him with another woman in bed.
That bed happened to be my childhood
bed. He forced me out of the room, literally grabbed me by the neck, and pushed me out
and closed the door back. I knew I couldn't do anything at that point, so I called his parents
who lived a few blocks away. His dad showed up, and another fight broke out. I ended up
leaving and staying at his parents until dawn. I moved out that
weekend and let the house foreclose. Nine years later, it's finally off my credit report.
I'm happily married to an amazing man and we own a beautiful home together.
Our next reply is from Randy Johnson's. This first started back in December right before we went on
a holiday trip to see my family. She started acting somewhat off, kind
of distant and easily aggravated. I had a suspicion that something was going on and I'm embarrassed
to admit that I snooped on our eye watch. I found some incriminating text she had with
her friends so I confronted her in January. She tells me that she kissed a guy that she
worked with and that was it. We were having some issues in our relationship and I chose to forgive her and we decided to try working on some of
the issues we were having. Well, fast forward to this past May, she breaks down that she
wasn't honest with me and that she actually passionately hugged this other dude. We split
up after the news. We'd been together 8 years and had been engaged for almost 2 years. Our wedding date was supposed
to be effing yesterday. It's still effing killing me. I don't know where to go from
here. 2020 can go eat a dick. Man, if years had slogans, this would be 2020s. 2020
can go eat a dick. Our next reply is from I'ma ring it to. A friend of mine was suspicious
of her husband cheating because he went to play soccer with
his friends way too often.
He always came back having already showered because he would sweat while playing.
One day, she sewed his soccer socks together and when he came back all showered, she
saw the socks were still sewed together, so he wasn't playing soccer at all.
Our next reply is from NAP17.
Four years ago I was dating a girl who became distant and disinterested in a lot of things
we both enjoyed together.
Despite attempts to talk about it, she only grew more distant, then became less available
to hang out, and suddenly was working late a lot.
I started getting suspicious about cheating when she was on her phone non-stop.
Again, I tried to talk about it, but she wouldn't engage.
She also just didn't want to break up with me for whatever reason.
I was actually going to end it on my own, but one weekend when she was seemingly unavailable,
some mutual friends told me they spotted her with the dude from her work, and they were
all over each other.
Coincidentally, she had also let me her iPad and it was synced to her phones,
so I saw lots of text between these two over that weekend. They were talking about running away
together, etc. He was married and her supervisor. Mutual friends were also composed of her co-workers
and reported them to HR. They were both forced to do training on not sleeping with co-workers.
They were both denied promotion.
His wife left him and she moved overseas.
It sucked at the time.
I was devastated, but Karma got them good.
