Discover How People Uncovered Infidelity: 22 Stories of Betrayal

According to statistics, 20% of men and 13% of women have cheated on their spouses at least once in their life. No one wants to believe that their other half is a part of these statistics. At the same time, accepting the fact of having been cheated on is actually not as difficult as catching the cheater red-handed. Moreover, sensible doubts can often be explained with the fact that we might just be paranoid.

Bright Side became interested in how internet users found out about the fact they were being cheated on. It turns out that harmless and everyday habits might help you spot the liar.

My car smelled like cigarette smoke. Neither my wife nor I have ever smoked. I asked her. She turned pale. In that instant, all those “late nights” she had to spend at the restaurant they worked at clicked. She saw it in my eyes. And, I saw it in hers. © will-i-ambic

I was stuck in a traffic jam with my hubby. The windows in the car got foggy. My bag was lying in the back seat and I needed to get something from it.

I counted the pictures. This was in 2000 before everyone had a camera on their phone and you had to get your holiday snaps developed at the Walgreens photo lab. She brought home the pictures of her vacation to see her “old high school friend” in Vegas, but there was something missing. See, back in the day, rolls of film were made up of exposures of 12, 24, 36 pics, etc. depending on the film you bought. I went through the photos and they didn’t add up. Literally. The 24 exposure roll only had 18 pics. Eventually, I found the remaining photos... her and the new boyfriend looking happy. © gogojack

My husband had a lover. I had a hunch about it for quite a while, but first explained it with the usual paranoia. Then I noticed how, upon returning home, he was cleaning the car’s passenger seat. I couldn’t understand by looking at him from the balcony of our apartment what exactly he was cleaning in the car. I have blonde hair and I was afraid that he was cleaning the car from my hair. After a couple of weeks, I learned the truth — it was not my hair that was shedding. © “Overheard”
The biggest clue I had was when he suddenly changed the type of music he listened to. © Michelle

My wife tried calling and didn’t hang up once it went to voicemail. She accidentally left a 2:45 voice message. It consisted of her and her boyfriend talking shit about me and how much happier she was with him.
