The Do’s and Don’ts of Texting While Cheating On Your Partner

Cheating is not a good idea. Honesty is the best policy, regardless of whether it’s with your partner or a test. While cheating on one can have serious consequences, it can be devastating to do it on the other. It can be heartbreaking to learn that someone you love is seeing another person behind your back. This can lead people to do foolish things.

As technology continues to evolve, it’s becoming increasingly easier for people to connect with one another – and for partners to stray from their relationships. In many cases, the evidence of infidelity can be found right on a cheater’s phone in the form of text messages. Take a look at these people who were caught red-handed by incriminating text messages. From sexting to flirting to full-blown affairs, these cheaters thought they could get away with it – but they were ultimately caught by the very technology they used to deceive their partners.

Self-sabotage

The person claimed to have family stuff, which was the perfect excuse to cancel a date with their partner. It was easy for their partner to accept the claim without any further questions. They forgot to switch conversations just as their plan was complete.

We don’t know how they missed the fact that Jenny had never exited their text string. Perhaps some of them wanted to find out, so they did this as self-sabotage.

Tell me the truth

It’s easy for things to get lost in translation when you don’t have the ability to read someone’s facial expressions or hear their voice. This person didn’t know their partner was asking them to confess to cheating on one of their tests.

They realized that their infidelity was causing them to be rumbled about, so they decided it was time to come out. They revealed something that they could not have kept secret.

Oh, did you not know?

It can be very painful to be broken up with. Even worse is when it takes place over text. But the worst is when your boyfriend does the dumping. Derek’s friend was the one who put his foot in his mouth when he told his girlfriend that the relationship was over.

They were unaware that she was familiar with this, even though Derek had previously told them he had broken up with her. They could have resisted telling her that the man hadn’t liked her for months.

Sleeping with your boss

We don’t condone this mom’s actions, but we can appreciate the fact that she came out about her infidelity. Although she may not feel any regret for sleeping with her boss’s husband, at least she was willing to tell her partner.

It would have been nice if she had checked first who she was sending the message to. The shock of receiving this message probably caused a lot of distress for her child. After resolving the initial confusion about who her boss was, they had to face the fact that their parents were ending their relationship.

Name your price

Your partner may be the worst person to send your affair to accidentally, but your children are second. You make them feel guilty about being a cheater and expose the lies in their parent’s marriage.

This is even more true if you call them “annoying” in your texts, making the situation worse ten times. The dad tried to get out of his secrets, but the daughter wouldn’t listen.

The wrong ex

You can only redeem yourself after cheating on your spouse if you show your regret. While it won’t save your relationship, it may stop them from being so critical of you. You should apologize to your ex if you do.

pinterest

If they had sent the text to the right ex, this person’s message about realizing how much their other half needed them might have been touching. Their words suddenly seem less genuine.

First, school

If you want to fool your partner, excuses must be plausible. A common alarm signal is to tell someone that you are unable to go out because you were spontaneously taken on vacation. However, if you are still at school, it is possible to say that you are busy studying.

You should not leave your bookbag in the car of your partner if you are going to be using this story. You will only be able to do much studying if you have the right materials.

It’s our song

If you have been cheated on, moving on from an ex can be difficult. If their song is any indication, it seems that they have not had much difficulty moving on from their ex-partner.

ADVERTISEMENT
pinterest

After what they did, they said their ex had been “replaced.” They probably wouldn’t feel the need to send the scathing song if the person was truly over the breakup.

Priorities for gaming

It’s a joke that men care more about video games than their relationships. But sometimes, it is true. Some people would rather lose their console than break up with their partner. This is an example of one such person.

Their other half decided that the best way to ease the pain of their infidelity would be to make fun of their boyfriend breaking his Xbox. He was so concerned about losing his console that he didn’t even notice that he had been cheated upon.

Who is the father?

Just when you think the story is over, the following message changes everything. The story begins with a pregnancy announcement. This can be either joyous or devastating, depending on your perspective. This is the guy who is excited but not his partner.

She’s probably having an affair, so she doesn’t know the father. Instead of messaging her boyfriend, she was actually talking to her husband. Worse, her boyfriend was actually his brother.

Autocorrect caught out

It can cause a lot of frustration in a conversation with autocorrect. However, it’s rare that autocorrect leads to a breakup. Their partner was devastated when their phone switched from “checking up” and “cheating.”

They weren’t so upset because they were unfaithful, too, with their partner’s sister. They looked a fools when they discovered that they were not the only ones cheating in their relationship. Infidelity is a terrible thing.

Prioritize your priorities

It’s only half the battle to get your partner to confess that they have cheated on you. After you have discovered the truth, the next step is to find out who they are cheating on you. Cheaters are often reluctant to disclose this information because they fear their partner’s reaction.

Or because they are friends with the person. It turned out that it wasn’t the identity of the person the other half was most concerned with when they finally revealed the truth. We suppose spelling is important.

Working late 

The best way to prove your partner is cheating on you is by seeing it yourself. The poor guy was certain that his partner had been cheating on him for years. He tried to convince her to tell him she was seeing another guy, but she disagreed.

She was so insistent about her innocence that she and her husband ended up in therapy. Her web of lies came to an end when she attempted to play the working late card.

They don’t have to know

The final message could have made this interaction seem innocent. Evidently, the guy had connected with someone via social media and decided it was worth asking them out. But the woman they were interested in was already married.

They were able to be gentle with their husbands and even said they were grateful for his proposal. He then revealed that he was married and suggested they have an affair. Oh no, Thank you.

Don’t: Forget who you are texting

This might seem obvious, but some people are so careless that they forget who they are texting and end up exposing their infidelity. Take this example of Stacey and Jake, who are supposedly in a committed relationship. Stacey is sitting on the couch with a really hot guy, who happens to be Jake himself. But Jake is so clueless that he thinks Stacey is cheating on him with someone else. He accuses her of being unfaithful and demands an explanation. Stacey is frustrated and annoyed by Jake’s lack of memory and attention. She tells him that he is the hot guy she is sitting with and asks him to stop being so forgetful.

This is a hilarious example of how not to text while cheating on your partner. Not only did Jake make a fool of himself, but he also ruined the mood for Stacey. He could have avoided this embarrassing situation by paying more attention to his surroundings and his partner. Instead, he ended up looking like a paranoid and insecure boyfriend who doesn’t trust his girlfriend. The lesson here is: don’t text while cheating on your partner, but if you do, at least remember who you are texting. Otherwise, you might end up in a comedy of errors that will make you regret your actions.

Keep cool

It is easy to lose your cool when your partner says they have been unfaithful. Jeffrey didn’t know that he had done it. To his wife’s anger, he thought he was messaging someone else.

However, she was smart enough not to lose her temper with him and get him to admit he had been cheating before she could clarify who he was talking to. Let’s just hope the night spent at his house wasn’t worth him losing his partner.

Final Offer: $450

Given the amount of money at stake, you’d think parents would be more cautious about exposing their affairs. They risk ruining not only their marriage but also their relationships with their children.

The father believed he could solve everything by buying his son silence. He was willing only to lose $450, but it appears he wasn’t so desperate to keep his family together. Bryan said that this doesn’t tell much about his views of his wife.

Waiting for the divorce

People don’t like to be the other person in a relationship. They may love another person, but they don’t want to be the one who breaks his heart. They would rather wait for the relationship to end before they start looking for someone.

This guy seems not to get it. Even though he wants to have his cake and eat it as well, it hurts both of his partners. His potential girlfriend is a strong believer in morality and will not give up on him until he gets divorced.

Who’s Jessica?

Cheating on someone can be as simple as sending a wrong message to them. It doesn’t matter if you text your lover instead of your fling or vice versa. It almost always comes back to bite you.

This person made the error of texting their girlfriend instead of the girl they were seeing behind their back. Although his idea to gift his partner a necklace was adorable, he should have bought it for her.

April fooled

After realizing their partner wasn’t just playing a joke, what started as a harmless April Fool’s Prank turned into something more serious. They confessed to their partner that they had cheated on them once. To which they replied that they had done the same.

The date of April 1 was then used by them as a joke. Their other half replied with a different date corresponding to the day they had been unfaithful. It was amazing how they were able to find out.

Friends forever 

It is often a bad idea to date a friend’s ex because it can cause problems for the people you love. Amy and her friend are not like most girls. Amy is cool that her friend is dating her ex.

Their relationship is solid and not like Amy’s with her boyfriend. He doesn’t seem to care about his girlfriend and is happy to have a one-night stand with his ex. Amy was fortunate that her BFF would not allow him to go down that low – their relationship was too important.

Breaking point

Some people don’t care about infidelity causing harm to their spouse. They are too focused on living a happy life that they don’t have to break anyone’s heart. Even if they cheat on their partner, there is still something to be proud of.

Zoe is clearly not happy about being with two men at once. She even admitted that her actions make depict her as a bad person. This message shows that she is bound to lose one or both of her boyfriends.

Attitude in check

Unfortunately, his forward-thinking has come back to bite. He was too quick to act like God’s gift and didn’t know who he was texting.

Red handed

Someone who suspects their partner might not be faithful will look out for signs and clues. This could be something like having different plans, sneaking around, or returning home later than usual.

It is probably not a good idea if you claim that you are eating at work to cover up. Busted!

Divorcing over text

It’s one thing for a boyfriend or girlfriend to break up, but it’s quite another to do the same to your spouse or husband. This is a level of brutality we don’t condone. This guy was not trying to break up with his wife by sending a message over the phone. He simply sent a message to another.

ADVERTISEMENT

That’s all fine for a moment, but it takes a while to realize what this means. He might have ended his affair, but he still cheated on his wife. Maybe they will end up splitting after all.

Busy being alone

It’s important to know the facts if you will be covering for someone cheating. First, it’s essential to find out who their partner is. This will prevent you from making a similar mistake. The person didn’t know who their friend’s boyfriend was.

He realized that they had ruined everything when he dropped the bombshell. After they revealed that his girlfriend had gone on a trip with another man, their claims that she was alone sleeping didn’t seem convincing.

Roses are red

This text thread is a tale of two halves. The first message is sweet and simple, sending a generic but loving poem to their boyfriend. Things quickly change when the person adds a second verse to their message and reveals that they are aware of their partner’s infidelity.

The last line clarifies that the person in question isn’t as innocent and happy as they would like you to believe. The boyfriend is the only one to blame for cheating.

No longer in “sirvice”

The text exchange seemed to have a happy ending at first glance. Then, the other person revealed that Lauren was their love proclamation and Sami was it. Even worse was the fact that Lauren was their wife and their children’s mother.

They tried to pretend that their phone was disconnected in an attempt to escape the situation. In their desperate and hurried escape attempts, they misspelled “service.” Sorry, buddy.

Both good and bad news

It is not great to receive a message from someone stating that they have bad news. This could be anything, and the vague text will not alleviate any worries. This person was able to share the bad news with their boyfriend, which turned out to be good news.

Their friend had actually hit their boyfriend with their car. It was a serious incident, so it’s best to be thankful. It was likely karma’s way of getting back at him because of his infidelity.

Blackmail material

It is amazing to see how many parents text their children when they cheat. This is worse than telling the truth about infidelity because their children love blackmailing them.

They wanted $1,000, an iPhone, and a laptop. That’s quite a lot. The dad would likely realize that the mom had not complied with their demands if she did. The truth will eventually come out, as is often the case.

She saw more than she wanted to see

You don’t know who might end up seeing your raunchy photo, so sending it is risky. There is always the possibility that their friend could get their phone and see more than they expected.

There is also the possibility that they might see the photo and become upset if they have a partner. The girl’s boyfriend claimed that he had split with Jessica when he was dating both of them.

James over Jared

James realized he had a chance when he received a text message from his partner, which was meant for another person. Instead of asking about Jared and why they are going out, he pretends to be a part of the conversation and see if he can confirm his suspicions.

It didn’t take too long for him to realize that he was about to be ditched for another guy. He realized that he was innocent and decided to end the ruse. He confessed his true identity, and he walked away.

Keep your eyes on the game

You might not be a sports fan, so you may find it annoying when your partner requests to watch a match. You can always go your separate ways and enjoy a few hours of your own entertainment. This is what the other half of this couple did. It’s why they later sent them a text to let them know that the game was over.

Their message was vague, and their girlfriend got the wrong end. She shared her anger by revealing that she slept with Tony. This is where things became awkward.

Blaming others

Don’t blame your partner for cheating. You should never blame your partner for being unhappy in your relationship. Instead, walk away. This is how people get hurt.

They betrayed their other half, and it wasn’t just a once-off. They were unfaithful for 2 years. They believed it was their partner’s blame that he had been “gone every day for so many years.” We don’t think that is a valid excuse.

Think about the children

Is it really possible for these people to reveal their infidelity to their children? Will someone think of the children? This is a different situation because it’s not a son or a daughter but a niece/nephew. It’s basically the same situation.

A parent sends a message to someone seeking fun, a little break from their children and partner. However, they send the wrong person the message and are blackmailed. We don’t know what Uncle Joe thinks is worse: losing his wife or his Porsche.

Almost identical

A best friend with the same name as a girlfriend is a recipe for disaster. Even though their names may be spelled differently, things can go horribly wrong. This is what happened to this man who thought they were sending Jordyn instead of Jordan, their “bro.”

He believed he was safe to tell that he had a secret relationship with another woman. In reality, he had just revealed his infidelity to the person who suffered the most.

You’re up; I’m up

Talking to your ex about the end of a relationship is never a good idea. Even so, it’s not a good time to discuss your failed relationship, especially late at night. The other person agreed, so they asked for a delay or perhaps even a longer time.

Jack, however, refused to give up the topic. Jack figured that they were both awake, so it was worth discussing. This is a confident move from someone who was responsible for the breakup.

Check your spelling

Cheaters don’t seem able to see that once they have broken their partner’s trust, it is irreparable. You can’t try to put the pieces back together like a broken mirror. But the cracks won’t disappear. The person didn’t know this, so they bombarded their ex with incessant texts asking for their return.

Inadvertently, for a purpose

Let’s be clear: you cannot accidentally cheat on someone. Getting involved with someone after drinking too much is not an accident. Even though you might not be able to see clearly, you know you have a partner.

We support the person whose spouse is trying to convince them that their infidelity is an accident. They cannot justify their actions by what this man or woman says. They should be asking for forgiveness.

Wrong number, bye!

We can’t help but wonder if we are ever in a similar situation after reading through these texts. We wouldn’t cheat, but it is hard not to cringe when we read messages from people who sent the wrong number. There are few other options than accepting defeat.

These girls realized that hatred could be directed at the person who has hurt them. It helped that Zoey was kind enough to tell Mark’s girlfriend the truth rather than letting her discover it on her own. This guy is not going to be taken lightly, we expect.

Do it twice in one go

It’s one thing for a person to send a message to the wrong number. It’s something we have all done before. Or at least we sent the wrong text to someone before realizing it and quickly deleting it. It’s quite another to send the wrong number twice. How is this possible?

It would seem that cheaters are very focused on keeping their identities secret. Still, they do it over and over again. You might also avoid cheating on someone whose name is very similar to your boyfriend’s.
