"We had finally bought our very first house after being married for 10 years. He wanted to remodel the house while waiting for our rental's lease to be up. I had a feeling and drove to the house one night to find our hot, young mortgage broker, fresh out of the shower, in a towel. The whole house was furnished with furniture that wasn't ours and there was a baby crib being assembled. He was remodeling something all right, just not our house." </h2> —Lacey Q., Facebook <h2 class="subbuzz__header subbuzz__header--standard subbuzz__title "> 2.

"I came home from work early once. He wasn't home, but his car was, and he wouldn't answer his phone. I was seriously getting scared. A car screeched up and he jumped out. He explained it was just a coworker (the one he'd been coming home glowing about recently) and he gave me lame excuses about her being in the area so they grabbed lunch and didn't think to tell me. I had forbidden him from doing anything privately with this woman after I met her and could tell she was moist for him. I was devastated. He gaslit me, and even screamed that he wouldn't be with someone who didn't trust him! This went on for four years." </h2> "The economy was really tough and I couldn't afford to move out, so I made the best of it. I finally got drunk and fed up one night and went through his things. He had videotaped it all — on MY side of the couch, at her house, and at her mother's. Every weekend. He still proceeded to gaslight me, saying I didn't actually see what I saw. I made him watch his perverted actions with me on said couch as I narrated each scene."—amymoore333 <h2 class="subbuzz__header subbuzz__header--standard subbuzz__title "> 4.

"He forgot his phone in my car. I left to go get our baby from daycare and he got a text. I never checked up on him, ever, but that day my gut told me to look. It was our neighbor's sister saying, 'Too bad you can't get out. I've got a big ol' hotel room to myself.' It was the day before my parents threw me a huge nursing school graduation party, so I had to hold it together for an entire weekend.

"After 27 years of marriage and four children, I was at my little sister’s house in another state, halfway across the US, after she had just died from a long, sad illness. He was driving two of my teenagers (a 20-plus hour drive) to attend the funeral, when both of them heard him tell another woman on the phone that he loved her. He thought the kids were sleeping. They waited until they returned home and told their older brother, who confronted his father. He admitted to many affairs and told my son that he would not stop seeing other women. He also told him not to tell me because he needed to get me home to 'medicate' me. He sat each of my children down and told them the same thing in addition to telling them that he never wanted to be a father." </h2> <br><img src="https://img.buzzfeed.com/buzzfeed-static/static/2021-12/28/16/asset/bcc3b9dc24c5/sub-buzz-8046-1640709696-2.png" alt="shocked steve harvey" class="xs-block"/> <br><img class="subbuzz__media-image subbuzz__media-image--deferred js-subbuzz__media js-progressive-image js-pinnable" src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" alt="shocked steve harvey" data-src="https://img.buzzfeed.com/buzzfeed-static/static/2021-12/28/16/asset/bcc3b9dc24c5/sub-buzz-8046-1640709696-2.png" data-mobile-src="https://img.buzzfeed.com/buzzfeed-static/static/2021-12/28/16/asset/bcc3b9dc24c5/sub-buzz-8046-1640709696-2.png?resize=990:728" data-crop="73.60" data-mobile-crop="73.54" data-span="1" data-bfa="@o:{ignore:[bfaBinder]};" > ABC —betteroffsince2010<br /> <h2 class="subbuzz__header subbuzz__header--standard subbuzz__title "> 9.

She lived in a dorm with three other girls and always complained about how it was hard to live and study there, so I got her a key to my apartment and said she was free to use it whenever she wanted a quiet place. About a year later, I come home early after my class was postponed to find her filming a sex tape with another man on my bed. You can’t make this shit up. After I asked her to pack her stuff and move out, she left the sex tape on my bed with a message about how I wasn’t able to satisfy her." </h2> <br><img src="https://img.buzzfeed.com/buzzfeed-static/static/2021-12/28/16/asset/d0cc3190f950/sub-buzz-8419-1640709762-1.png" alt="drew barrymore biting her fist in shock" class="xs-block"/> <br><img class="subbuzz__media-image subbuzz__media-image--deferred js-subbuzz__media js-progressive-image js-pinnable" src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" alt="drew barrymore biting her fist in shock" data-src="https://img.buzzfeed.com/buzzfeed-static/static/2021-12/28/16/asset/d0cc3190f950/sub-buzz-8419-1640709762-1.png" data-mobile-src="https://img.buzzfeed.com/buzzfeed-static/static/2021-12/28/16/asset/d0cc3190f950/sub-buzz-8419-1640709762-1.png?resize=990:986" data-crop="99.52" data-mobile-crop="99.60" data-span="1" data-bfa="@o:{ignore:[bfaBinder]};" > CBS —anonymousflowersig<br /> <h2 class="subbuzz__header subbuzz__header--standard subbuzz__title "> 11.

Every time he cheated, his new girlfriend would always call me and threaten me. I never knew why they did this, as I didn't know any of them.

"I'm a Realtor, and we were selling the house we built together, raised our blended family in, and lived in for 10 years. I was hosting an open house, and his mistress stopped by and announced she was there to talk to him. She walked up to him and put her arms around him as his face drained of all color. He told me that he was going to tell me about her 'after the house sold.' At any rate, it was a pretty traumatic breakup for me. That was two years ago. In August of this year, he called to tell me that they had broken up and wanted me to sell the new house they had together. He showed up one night with his guitar, one night with a bottle of wine, and one night with candy all the way from Ireland (where he had just vacationed)." </h2> <br><img src="https://img.buzzfeed.com/buzzfeed-static/static/2021-12/28/16/asset/d0cc3190f950/sub-buzz-8419-1640710601-56.png" alt="shocked maya rudolph" class="xs-block"/> <br><img class="subbuzz__media-image subbuzz__media-image--deferred js-subbuzz__media js-progressive-image js-pinnable" src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" alt="shocked maya rudolph" data-src="https://img.buzzfeed.com/buzzfeed-static/static/2021-12/28/16/asset/d0cc3190f950/sub-buzz-8419-1640710601-56.png" data-mobile-src="https://img.buzzfeed.com/buzzfeed-static/static/2021-12/28/16/asset/d0cc3190f950/sub-buzz-8419-1640710601-56.png" data-crop="60.96" data-mobile-crop="60.91" data-span="1" data-bfa="@o:{ignore:[bfaBinder]};" > NBC "After I pretty much rejected his every move, he called me to tell me they were getting back together and that I shouldn't contact him anymore because she hated me.

In class, we had to do a current events assignment every day, so I was reading the article about him and saw he had a wife and a son.

Finally: "I was with my ex for over three years. He had cheated on me in the very beginning of our relationship with his ex, claiming that because I was 'away' in college (less than 45 minutes away), he felt lonely. I stupidly stayed with him, knowing I was moving closer and thought that would make him feel more secure. Eventually, we got a year lease on an apartment and I thought he was going to be the one I spent the rest of my life with. One day, my intuition told me something was off, and when I confronted him, he told me that he wasn't sure he was in love with me anymore because I wasn't doing enough around the apartment we shared. I was out on disability from a car accident and couldn't physically work. So, for two weeks, I picked up my game. I made sure I cleaned, cooked, did laundry, and did everything in my power to convince him we could get through it." </h2> <br><img src="https://img.buzzfeed.com/buzzfeed-static/static/2021-12/28/17/asset/4ebab251a02a/sub-buzz-7931-1640711550-7.png" alt="disgusted tituss burgess" class="xs-block"/> <br><img class="subbuzz__media-image subbuzz__media-image--deferred js-subbuzz__media js-progressive-image js-pinnable" src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" alt="disgusted tituss burgess" data-src="https://img.buzzfeed.com/buzzfeed-static/static/2021-12/28/17/asset/4ebab251a02a/sub-buzz-7931-1640711550-7.png" data-mobile-src="https://img.buzzfeed.com/buzzfeed-static/static/2021-12/28/17/asset/4ebab251a02a/sub-buzz-7931-1640711550-7.png" data-crop="66.08" data-mobile-crop="66.04" data-span="1" data-bfa="@o:{ignore:[bfaBinder]};" > Netflix "After thinking we were making progress, he eventually came clean about kissing a coworker and swore up and down it was a mistake.
