Married People From Around The World Share How They Wrongly Thought Their Spouse Was Going Behind Their Back

Have you ever had the urge to look through your spouse's phone? Have you ever actually done it, only to find something that didn't sit well with you?

Ideally, when people are in a happy, healthy relationship, they don't experience the need to snoop; they have mutual trust and respect for one another's privacy and don't find it necessary to go looking for evidence of infidelity.

Unfortunately, that's not always the case.

Whether warranted or not, suspicions of cheating can be quite consuming for the suspecting party. Of course, learning that you've been right to be concerned and confirming that you've been betrayed by your partner can be devastating and heartbreaking (to say the least).

However, just because you suspect something is up, doesn't always mean your partner is cheating. Just take it from the following people, who recently shared stories about the time they thought their spouse was cheating, only to learn how wrong they were.

45. Quite A Drag

I was in college and there was a big drag show on campus, and for fun, a good (gay) friend of mine decided to enter, so we swapped clothes.

I wore some of his stuff and he wore mine. At the show, I got a little intoxicated and performative onstage.

Anyway, he texted me the next day and said, "You were amazing last night. Do you mind if I come by and get my clothes that I left at your place?"

My boyfriend of the time saw it and I admit it looked pretty suspicious.

44. Self Blame

I once suspected my girlfriend was cheating and I looked at her phone bill (horrible idea) and became suspicious at a number she texted hundreds of times in the middle of the night.

It was MY number I had recently changed. Idiot.

43. Learning To Drive

When my grandparents were young, my granddad suddenly used to come home late, having weird excuses for it.

My grandmother was sure he had 'another' but didn't say anything - kids and all. One day he came home with a car, as a surprise.

He was learning to drive. They've been happily married until he died two years ago, age 97.

42. Suspicious Snap

Not on his phone, but mine. Once my boyfriend went to a party I couldn't go to. As I was browsing my phone before bed, I got a snap from a mutual friend.

It was a picture of her and my boyfriend together, with the text line "we screwed." I really didn't think he had cheated, but I did think it was strange.

Turns out they meant "we're screwed" but were too messed up to fix it. The fact that she's really gay also helped.
