If you suspect your partner cheating, should you just end the relationship?

[Anonymous]

You’re not 100% certain if they are cheating and you have no evidence but do you think it would be easier just to break up so you don’t have to worry?

[lorenzomichael]

Fuck no! Be upfront with them and confront them. Let them know you’re not bullshitting or fucking around when you ask them if they’ve been unfaithful to you. And if they say yeah they have been cheating, then you just fucking leave them. Don’t get crazy and start yelling and making an ass of yourself. That’s not gonna make a bit of difference. So respect yourself and just walk away. And as much as that will hurt, that’ll shock the shit out of them because they’ll expect you to act violent. But all you’ll say is “all right motherfucker” then give that look and walk away.

Me? Yes. Your avg. woman? No.

It's been my experience women are either spot on, or completely clueless. Let me explain.

The women who suspect thier man of cheating are typically spot on. But she probably knew that from the moment she met him and allowed her feelings to overrule her common sense (a common occurrence for these type of women). So knowing means nothing if she never intends to do anything about it.

Then there's the second type of woman, who is always suspicious and never right about any of it. This guy can never win. He could be the gold standard of men and she would still think he's cheating. Because what's broken is the security in her brain. Honestly this type of woman shouldn't date anyone. But we all know that'll never happen. I'm just saying for her benefit she shouldn't date anyone. Because she's just going to put HERSELF through unnecessary grief. And the guy really doesn't deserve that stress either.

Evidence is something that you need to convince OTHERS, not yourself.

If I knew he was cheating I wouldn't need any additional proof... if I knew I'd confront him and then possibly break up as a result of that confrontation. If I only suspected, I'd try to investigate before I did anything rash.

[IslaTheWitch]

If we are together it means we love each other and we invested in the relationship... I would need proof to make any drastic decisions... I think I would start with the conversation... and then we would see

[coachTanthony]

Yes break up then go seek therapy for your issues. Won't matter in the end if you don't deal with your insecurity.

[AviatorTom]

Suspicion is never the reason to do anything. Proof is needed.

[CriticalCatDad123]

Absolutely. It's frustrating that there are people out there who stick around with a cheating partner. Maybe they're just not the jealous type. Maybe they have no feelings at all. Maybe that's why their partner cheated in the first place even though she should have just broken up instead. It's all too much of a headache for me which is why I believe it is better for me to just stay single.

[MackBoy]

Don't suspect, have the solid proof and take action.don't worry too much, just be patient and if you find anything wrong by your own eyes, then have a breakup. be sure not to treat him badly just because you think he is cheating. if you could set up a spy camera or something, you can find out if he is cheating or not. make sure the camera is not visible

[MsProsperity]

I suggest you look for evidence before making any decision. Maybe it’s just insecurities, who knows? Investigate

[Chazmatazz269]

It’s not about “easier”. If you can’t stop projecting jealousy and insecurity, you have trust issues. The relationship is doomed if you don’t have trust. For that reason, it’s just smart to break it off before it grows more toxic.

[NotTacocaT6969]

I would not break up with someone over mere suspicion or my own paranoia.


That’s like sentencing someone to life in prison for a murder with 0 evidence that they did it.

[Asker]

Which does happen

[NotTacocaT6969]

And when the evidence comes forth proving that person innocent, the people who wrongfully convicted them have to pay millions to make up for it.

I confront when I have evidence..

One ex, I walked in on her riding some guy, so I escorted her out of my home at gun point naked, fluids still leaking out of her.

Another ex, I played video evidence of her cheating at our "engagement" party for all of her friends and family to see. Then I fucked her step mom and her sister.

I tend to go scorched earth when I catch someone cheating on me.

[BIZARRE_TRUTH]

that just means you're a shitty person and not even willing to investigate them for the sake of love

which means they deserve someone better than you even if they are cheating... so

[At3mis24]

If I suspect him, it's too late. My intuition is strong, I can trust her more than any partner.

[Marriedandavailable]

only sex, No. Because sometimes women likes for another men because of acting of body and penis shape. Then they can cheat. It can be forgivable. But there was an love or intensive feeling, so it means that you have caught the end of the way.

[LaurenM1997]

It happened to me I had evidence cause of a picture on Facebook I confronted him and then he broke up with me

[RavVid]

It would be a LOT easier. I did do the wait for evidence but it cost.

[HelpfulWoman]

no. you'd go through life not being able to do anything

[SYTHOX]

If you suspect your taco is cold are you going to throw it out because you think it cold? I wouldn't you just reheat it. Unless it's an old taco then you don't want to reheat it, it's probably no good

[Squatting_Slav]

I would carry on as nothing happened. Let the cookie crumble on it's own let them feel guilty about it

[LiamJHayden]

I would because at that point I would have lost trust in her, so whether justified or not I would always wonder.

[DrPepper12]

Depends. Is the relationship worth fighting for or are you rationalizing an easy out?

[nawtee_me]

Sure, call it off because they are not cheating on you but your lack of ability to trust them makes it hard for them to love you anyway….

That’s dumb without confirmation or a discussion? No way.
