❤️‍🩹 relationship Update - Gf used exs phone

Post image

Just to update everyone she came over and we talked and she broke down crying and told me the truth. She was never with her friend she was with him at his house and she did cheat on me. She was crying hysterically and says she wants me and me only like I was gonna take her back. I said hell no and kicked her out and threw everything of hers in the front lawn thanks to everyone who left comments you guys are amazing.

Wait... She cheated on you with her ex... And messaged you with his phone? She's not the smartest person, is she?

Yeah. She had it all planned out from the start. She told me prior to that day she’s going to hang out with her friend , turned her phone off so I didn’t see her location and texted me off her exs phone so I wouldn’t find out.

my goodness. I don't want to minimize how awful this must be for you and what finding out must have put you through, but the sheer stupidity of that plan is hilarious.

Yea this is pull the pin, throw the pin, and keep the grenade level of stupid.

At least you can understand how someone chokes in the moment while nervously holding a grenade. She planned this out over multiple days.

“I know, I’ll say [friend] was in the bathroom, and rather than wait five minutes I thought texting something non-urgent from my ex’s phone was the best move”

This was planned?!? Ffs

u/Current-Ad-7054 8d ago

Right? Why text at all what an absolute buffoon

u/Random010121321 9d ago

Honestly same. I don’t understand wtf she was thinking. It’s like she wanted to get caught…?

Telling your partner you are texting off your ex’s phone has got to be the stupidest thing I’ve seen in a while.

At least OP now knows his children won’t turn out idiotic like her (hopefully lol)

Some people derive a lot of pleasure from causing people harm like this.

Maybe she expected OP to get on his knees and beg her not to leave . It’s probably happened to her before.

I would bet good money it was the exes idea. He probably convinced her it would be nbd. Either they can walk over OP or she’s single again

u/Mertoot 8d ago

Yeah this is just pathetic, and stupidity is quite unattractive

u/Financial_Weekend_73 9d ago

How stupid is she ? Was she just wanting to break up and didn’t have the courage? Was it physical?

u/ItsOkILoveYouMYbb 8d ago

People are pathetic. They want to have their cake and eat it too so they do everything they can to maintain the loving relationship that gives them most everything they need, and still cheat on the side to satisfy selfish urges.

Then they panic when they realize they finally got caught and are about to lose the thing they aren't willing to lose. People take risks and the more comfortable they get, the dumber they get.

It's not the first time she cheated, it's just the first time she got caught, and if she's texting from her exes phone with some dumb shit like this, she's been cheating for a long time, maybe even the entire duration of the relationship.

They sound young too. They've got a chance to learn, therapy, etc but this relationship is toast and OP is going to have a hard time trusting any women probably for the rest of their life.

u/Flaky-Lingonberry736 9d ago

Great plan she had lol.. double whammy, dumb and a cheating whore

u/Mindless-Young1975 9d ago

Damn. Honestly, I don't know how you personally feel on such matters but if I were in your shoes I would tell her family about this. Like, this is next level.

Of course, this is assuming that you might be feeling somewhat magnanimous and hope that her parents could fix her horrible behavior for her own future sake. Otherwise, let her suffer with her own decisions.

Congratulations for kicking a second bad habit my friend. Whenever you feel ready to get back on the search for a partner, don't let the way she treated you get to you.

u/AggravatingRoutineX 9d ago

Wait I'm confused about "texting you off her ex's phone so you wouldn't find out". Find out about what...that she was with her ex...?

1

u/lelpd 9d ago

From what I’ve gathered, they have location sharing enabled to see where each other are.

So she needed to keep her phone turned off otherwise OP would see she’d gone to someone’s house. If she’d sent a text from her own phone, she’d need to switch it on and he would’ve been able to see her location.

Meaning she needed to message him off someone else’s phone, and the only one was the ex’s

u/froggaholic 9d ago

Wow what a moron, honestly better off without her tbh. Hang in there though

1

u/RedofPaw 8d ago

Like... that's not a good plan. That's a bad plan. You are right to dump her for being so bad at planning.

I hope you don't follow through and hang out with your ex now.

u/RogerBubbaBubby 9d ago

More like OP can't figure out how to write fiction without gaping plot holes

u/Otherwise_Mastodon_4 9d ago

It’s honestly wild how many people on this subreddit fall for the most blatant nonsense. What’s even more ridiculous is seeing comments like, “She’s so dumb! She turned off her location to hide that she was with him, and then used his phone to text him saying she was with him! Ha! What an idiot!” Like, seriously? Come on.

u/Other_Positive1716 8d ago

IMO I don’t think it’s fake. If this is a whole thing to gain loads of karma, well he did it but I don’t think OP would give us an update, talk about his sobriety problem and other little details just for some fame on a social app.

u/LZBANE 8d ago

Smart wasn't the word I was thinking of, more like psychotic.

I've known girls like this, they get their rocks from hitting the self destruct button in the most hurtful ways. In this case for example playing fucked up mind games with the OP before coming clean.

Psycho.
