My fiancé cheated on me with a friend – I quit my job and got epic revenge
A WOMAN has revealed her fiancé cheated on her with a mutual friend, prompting her to take ultimate revenge.
The frustrated woman explained that she found out her partner of four years was cheating on her after scrolling through his phone.
She got what she deserved: she deposited all the money she had put into their joint account, packed her things and left.
The woman shared her story on social media and confessed everything about the AITAH thread, under the username @PeakAfraid330.
The anonymous 27-year-old captioned her post “AITA for ignoring my cheating fiancé?” and confessed that she had been in a relationship with her ex-fiancé Jonathan, 29, for four years and that they had been engaged for a few months.
She explained: “It was a good relationship and I really thought we would spend the rest of our lives together, but I guess I was just too naive to see the truth.

“To keep it short, I found out that he had been cheating on me with a mutual friend for a few months, and that group of friends in particular kept his affair under wraps.
“They were all acting strange, so I went through his phone and found out they had a separate group, where they even laughed at me because I didn’t realize it.
“I was furious and my first impulse was to reprimand them all. Ultimately, however, I decided to simply disappear from their lives. Any confrontation with these people was clearly a waste of time.”
The Reddit user explained that she made sure to get revenge, adding: “When he went to work, next day I packed everything I owned, took all money I put it into our joint account (which was a significant amount, considering we were paying for our wedding, planning a nice honeymoon, and buying a house).
“I blocked them everywhere, made my accounts private, changed my number and moved back to my hometown where I moved in with my mother and stepfather.
“I was so angry that I immediately quit my job.
“I told my friends and family what had happened, and then I decided to talk to some of the money I had put it into our joint account.
“I was away for three months, had the time of my life and came home two months ago.
“I was able to get a job here and decided to start dating again.
“It’s nothing serious, but I’ve seen this Nice husband for about a month. I’m just trying to get my life back on track.”
Four Red Flags That Your Partner Is Cheating
Private investigator Aaron Bond of BondRees revealed four warning signs that your partner may be cheating.
They start taking their phones everywhere
In close relationships, it is normal for people to know each other’s passwords and use each other’s phones. If their phone behavior changes, they may be hiding something.
Aaron says: “If your partner starts changing their passwords, taking their phone everywhere, even into the house, or acts defensively when you ask to use their phone, it could be a sign that they are not being faithful to you.”
“You also have to look at how they put their phone down when they’re not using it. If they put the phone face down, then they could be hiding something.”
They start telling you less about their day
When partners cheat, they may start to avoid you. This may be because they feel guilty or because it makes it easier for them to lie to you.
“If you feel like your partner suddenly starts avoiding you and doesn’t want to do things with you anymore, or doesn’t tell you about his or her day anymore, that’s another warning sign.”
“Partners often avoid each other or share less about their day because cheating can be difficult. It’s impossible to remember all your lies and it’s easy to get caught,” says Aaron.
Their libido changes
According to Aaron, your partner’s libido can change for a number of reasons, so it’s not necessarily a sign of cheating, but it can be a warning sign.
Aaron says, “Cheaters often have less sex at home because they’re cheating, but sometimes they have more sex at home because they feel guilty and use this increase in sex to hide their cheating. You’ll also find that your partner will introduce new things into your sex life that weren’t there before.”
They become negative towards you
Cheaters know that cheating is wrong and that it makes them feel good, but it can create tension and fear in them that they then have to justify.
“To release the tension they feel inside, they try to convince themselves that you are the problem and they become critical of you out of nowhere. Maybe you didn’t walk the dog that day, didn’t do the dishes, or read your kids a bedtime story. A small issue like this can now feel like a big one, and if you experience this, your partner may be cheating,” Aaron warns.
But after spending time focusing on herself, the woman continued: “Anyway, recently my family and friends told me that my ex and our former mutual friends were bombarding them with texts on social media.
“They seem to want to know where I am and ask how I am. They say what I did is childish and that I should at least talk to them.
“That’s not my intention, for me it’s a closed phase in my life, and I literally did nothing, I just left.
“They will never see my face or hear from me again, and I have told those close to me to just block or ignore them.”
REDDIT USERS RESPOND
Reddit users took to the comments en masse to share their thoughts on the situation, with many praising her “classy” response.
Someone said: “What YOU are doing is CHILDISH?? They hid an affair and laughed at you for not realizing it, and YOU are the childish one?? Go live a better life.”
You did it perfectly! You played your best game!

Another added: “This is classy as f**k. No reaction at all is a perfect reaction.
“They are eager to explain themselves, and you denying them that chance is amazing. Sending you all the best for the next chapter in your life.”
A third commented: “While I’m normally against ghosting, this is the best reason to do it.
“You are clearly punishing them all and making them feel guilty by just disappearing. Good luck and God bless you as you move on.”
While someone else said: “You know what? You did perfect! You played your best game! I’m proud of you!!”
