Search Results: moms caught cheating

So I recently saw his ex posted a photo of them acting all cozy at a wedding together (the wedding has the exact date from last Sunday) and this raised my suspicion that there might be cheating going on… I asked him about it and he seemed honest but I’m not sure who to trust.

Would you consider these characteristics/things to be a sign of potential infidelity?

• Wasn’t defensive when confronted, willing to talk about it with me the entire night
• Gave me his social media passwords
• Gave me his phone to look through
• His mom told me that he was home Sunday morning and he spent the rest of the day (of the supposed wedding) with me
• Came over the next day because I asked to talk about this again, he listened and answered all questions
• Got pissed at his ex and completely sided with me, because she has a habit of posting old photos of them

Some red flags 🚩:

• The photo of the wedding has the date of last Sunday (but then why would he be willing to take photos with her knowing that she’ll post them online, and he knows I can see her posts)
• The wedding ceremony was held early morning to noon. His mom left his house at 11 and he only came to see me at 1:30 PM
• Her ex’s friends also reposted the photo on their accounts (but his ex used to post old photos of them acting as if they were still together)
• Last year he was caught still talking to his ex, but he has sinced changed and cut her off (from what he’s shown me the past year)

i met this guy on yikyak and although we never shared pictures or exchanged social media or talked on call, we described to each other how we look. i lied about my appearance (i’m overweight and not conventionally attractive so i was insecure). i’m (18F) talking to a guy (21M). we started off with just sexting. we caught feelings for each other and are still talking (since January 2024). the thing is that initially in the beginning i didn’t give him my real name or which city i live in. slowly over time, these lies built up. i didn’t think we would even talk for more than a week but we still are. he knows my age, where and what i study, but i lied to him about my name, where i live, my ethnicity/nationality (i’m a woc), what my parents do, sibling, what i look like, and some of my outfits. i also told him i have an ex of 6 years who cheated on me (i was embarrassed i didn’t have any ex when he has 2-3). over time as we caught feelings for each other, he told me he would like to meet me (he’d fly to where i study), ask me out, date me for a couple of years and finally marry me and have a family with me. i think despite these lies we have a real connection- we talk about our dreams and ambitions, our feelings, our favorite music and movies, we talk about books, about our families, our problems, our achievements and pretty much everything. i’m the only person besides his mom who he has told about what he wants to do in the future. we talk most of the day and sleep together on spotify jam. i made him a playlist and he made me one. this weekend he asked me to make a playlist for us to sleep to. a week ago, i told him i loved him and he told me he loved me. i genuinely love this guy a lot and want to have a real relationship with him. should i tell him the truth? if so, how will he react? or should i just tell him i can’t meet because my parents don’t approve and let him go forever?

I'm impressed with my parents' endurance, given their past infidelity decades ago. Obviously I was too young to even form sentences at the time. Actually I wasn't even born when mom cheated first and they weren't married yet. Yup they still got married later on.

Mom got caught (on his couch with his former friend... the journal I read had the graphic details of it, more than what I'm even posting) and dad cheated back years later but at least he felt terrible and confessed himself shortly. I know they worked it out long ago. Though if the cheater got caught, can trust really be regained in that case? If they confess at least there is a small chance since the person came clean but if they got caught, that has to be nearly impossible.

Apart from the hard work they did, I would like to know how is the relationship like if they stay together. Can a human really be capable of forgiving and forgetting that and regain trust if they wanted to? Personally I don't think I can work that, no matter how much counseling sessions, no way I would overcome that.

In my personal opinion, I literally don't understand how people can say to a friend, "don't get involved in another persons relationship issues" or if they have kids, "well by telling on the cheating, you ruined the kids lives because the mom/dad are now getting a divorce." To me, if you are dumb enough to first off, have an affair/cheat, and then go to some public place and make-out with or whatever with a person YOU KNOW is not your significant other, than expect potential consequences. No one ruins your relationship in that way, except you. If it were my friend, I'm loyal to my friends and the last thing you want to happen is for that cheater to be like, well, your friend saw me and said nothing because then what do you look like? If you don't want to get caught...don't cheat!
