You busted your partner while having sex with another

Postby Hairless Kitten II » Mon Jul 20, 2009 6:03 pm

So you were working late, you come home and hear some noise in the bedroom and there it is:

Your partner is cheating you with someone else.

What would you do?

Make a cup of tea, check my email, update NS, update Facebook.

Later I'd discuss separation and divorce.

Demand Weregild in the form of getting to have sex with said another's parter, or failing that sister.

Because this happened to me with my ex, I just saw it, sighed, went back to the apartment, took a shower, waited for him, and when he came back, told him it was over and he had to leave my place that night. No tears, no screaming, no drama. He had to go and that was it.

Take pictures and use them as blackmail to get everything in the divorce. Then make her/his life a living hell for as long as I can. :)

Nope. I took it too calmly, perhaps. I just don't see the reason to make a ruckus, you know. He was cheating, I saw him do it, there was nothing I could nor desired to do. The trust was broken, the relationship ended right there and then. No ''I'm sorry'' or shit like that. He was dismissed.

Well, that is one way, I suppose. "I'm sorry, but we're going to have to let you go."

I don't know what I'd do. Immediately, nothing terribly noisy, I suspect, except maybe a bit of door-slamming. After that, when she came to me, and the words started, I ... I just don't know. Crying would be involved, for sure.

Shoot them both and then kill myself.









Ok, seriously now I would tell them to get the fuck out of my house and that I never want to see either of them again.

EDIT: Wait, are we talking about her having sex with another man or another woman? Because that would get two totally different reactions.

Well, you see. My ex was (still is, I'm sure, he is horribly alive) a bastard. Abusive and an asshole. I sorta had my suspicions and, although I felt like I was taken for granted, the split didn't bring any pain to me. It was a blessed release.

If it was a chick she was cheating with I would either want to watch or join in.

If she was cheating with a guy, I would be highly upset. I would dump her on the spot, and spread nasty rumours about her on the internet. Maybe pay someone to set up a site pretending to be her soliciting money for sex or some such.
I would tell her employer that she was stealing from them or tell them something else to get her fired. I would make sure she would not be able to work in this town again.
If I was married to her, I would file for divorce and seek zero sum with it going in my favor. Also sole custody of any children.


Vengeance caused by cheating is always a nasty affair.

Never been in this situation (and hopefully never will be), so I don't know how I'd react. Probably the second option from the bottom. Weather we stayed together would probably depend on the person, circumstances, explanation, and a lot of other stuff.

Though, I'll confess I would likely escalate the situation by yelling and swearing. I would probably demand an explanation, but I never said I would do so in a calm, polite, or rational manner. Knowing my temper, quite likely the opposite.
"Our progress in degeneracy appears to me to be pretty rapid. As a nation, we began by declaring that "all men are created equal." We now practically read it "all men are created equal, except negroes" When the Know-Nothings get control, it will read "all men are created equal, except negroes, and foreigners, and Catholics." When it comes to this I should prefer emigrating to some country where they make no pretence of loving liberty -- to Russia, for instance, where despotism can be taken pure, and without the base alloy of hypocracy." - President Abraham Lincoln.

I was lucky enough not to personally witness my ex's exploits with other women. Finding out about it later tended to involve a lot of crying and a fair amount of yelling. I suspect seeing it firsthand would involve about the same amount of crying, but even more yelling and possibly an addition of smashing things.

Step back take a deep breath.
Then when I am calm and focused and they are finished end the relationship.
I will ignore such attempts. If she persist I will call one of her friends to come get her off my door step.


With the exception of if i caught her with a girl. then I would join in.

If I was married, I'd give all the bills to him and inform DW she'd hear from a lawyer soon.

The last time it happened I just told her where she could pick up the stuff she had left at my place. (Only happened once)

I'm a very drama free kind of guy.

I would be very disappointed that I wasn't invited.

If I suspect that their intent was to keep it secret from me, I would be even more upset. But if they open up the covers and make room for me, I'd probably get over it. :p
