cheating

You know when you're on Tinder, and you swipe past those cringey profiles with no photos of a person? And you're just like, "this guy is definitely married, right"? Well, unfortunately for me, I regularly get super-liked by those dudes. I have no idea what it is about me that screams "I'll help you cheat", but it's pretty insulting. And a little flattering. Let's be honest - a super like is a super like. I usually just report profiles like that, but I decided to try something out: matching with them and talking to them. Just to see if they would be as creepy as I assumed.

 For experimental integrity (because this is for science), I only responded to men who messaged me first, and I expanded my age filter because I figured the older sector would have more of this type of profile (absolutely right, it turns out). Here are my results. Prepare to be disappointed by dating app men yet again! 

Some issues are so multi-faceted you don't even know where to start. You can try to address the smaller things but sometimes there simply are no smaller things and you have to just take the problem as it is. Also, there will be cases where everybody is the bad guy and nobody really learns their lesson. Unfortunately, life isn't a movie, so you can't really wait around for people to get their just desserts. All you can do is live your life and try to avoid as much drama as you can.

Everybody has their own hygienic routine, and it's not really fair to judge someone's just because it doesn't match your own. Obviously there are minimal standards, but then again, not everyone has the same access to hygienic facilities so it's probably best to not assume anything. This works vice versa as well, people who take hour-long showers should really consider their water usage. What are they doing in there for a whole hour anyway? Like we said, it's not good to judge, but It's hard not to get suspicious when someone could easily spend a good portion of their day in the restroom.

A woman took to the popular Reddit thread, Am I The A**hole, to ask if she was right to give her husband an ultimatum when it came to his new female coworker who was infatuated with him. She was sick of the way the coworker would contact her husband, "Multiple times a day at all hours of the day and night she will call and text him for help" and felt that she was crossing all kinds of boundaries. She ended the post saying, "He can either to be married to me, or married to her, but I wasn't going to be the third wheel in my own marriage. He says he does not have feelings for her and that I am overreacting to him just wanting to help a friend. I feel otherwise. AITA?" Of course, Redditers jumped to her defense, reassuring her that she was totally within her right to call her husband out on his shady behavior. Read through her dilemma below, along with the advice she received. And always, always trust your gut when it comes to this type of behavior in relationships. Boundaries exist for a reason, and a partner who can't honor those boundaries does not respect you or your relationship.

Less and less are people submitting themselves to classic monogamous relationships. It may be about time considering 50% of marriages end in divorce. However, if you're going to go away and stray from the form, it's important that all partners have similar expectations. The most important part of any relationship is communication, so when it is lacking, it really shows.

Being cheated on is the worst thing in the world and there is no justification for cheating on your partner. It goes without saying that no matter how bad the relationship is, disloyalty says more about the cheater than the person they cheated on. It creates trust issues for future relationships, erodes a person's self-esteem, and it can take a very long time to get over. Some Redditors have worn their hearts on their sleeves and shared their stories of how they caught their significant other cheating on them, and how they reacted. Some of these were painful to read, but they truly give insight into how cruel some people can be.

Sometimes we choose to keep things to ourselves to avoid hurting someone's feelings. Even with really close friends, there are certain truths that are better unsaid. Like if their pants were see-through all day, or they had something in their teeth while talking to their crush. What's the point of telling them? Especially if it's after the fact, it will only cause post-traumatic embarrassment.

However, if you're really going to call someone your close friend, and your withholding some deep dark secrets from... good luck.

Relationships are built on honesty and trust, but not everyone pulls through on their end of the deal. Meaning, yes, people cheat, and the feeling is beyond sh*tty. A Redditor started a thread about how people found out their S/O was cheating on them, and the responses range from wild to heartbreaking. Scroll down for this week's Reddit drama. 

We're all insanely thirsty for celebs, sometimes to the extent that it's actually concerning. Even though they look like total sex gods, they also happen to be people, which is something mere peasants such as ourselves forget. A Redditor started a thread in which she asked the women of Reddit how they would react if their spouse cheated with a celeb, and the responses are both awesome and hilarious. Scroll down for some of their thoughts on the matter. 

Gender reveal parties have caused a lot of drama in the past few years. People are starting to realize that parents go way too hard when sharing the gender of their unborn child. People get roasted for celebrating something that really isn't much of an accomplishment anyway. Your child was bound to show up as one or the other, whether or not you fill a balloon with pink or blue confetti.

This gender reveal party is even more contentious, however. A man's ex-girlfriend cheated on him with his brother and they are now having a child. This guy is asking on Reddit's 'Am I The A-Hole' page if he is in the wrong for not wanting to attend their pointless baby shower.

A woman's attempt to sell her engagement ring has gone viral after her hilarious explanation for selling it. Although the reason she is selling it — because her disgusting fiancé slept with a prostitute, tried strangling her, and stole from his dementia-stricken father — wasn't the funny part, the way she told the story was. Lisa J Sconey posted her engagement ring on the Facebook group 'Rotherham Swap, Sell or Buy,' asking for £500, which equates to around $665. A fellow member of the group, Pam, asked her why she was selling it, which is when Lisa launched into the long-winded horror story of her repulsive ex-fiancé. Her blunt, heartbreaking, but hilarious way with words spoke to people's hearts, especially to Pam's. Pam launched a fundraiser titled: Raising £500 for the Lisa J Sconey. It has so far raised even more than that, and it's still going. Below is Lisa's crazy explanation.

Being cheated on in a relationship is one of the most heartbreaking things a person can go through. While there is no good way to find out that it's happening, some cheating reveals are harsher than others. For example, I'm sure most people would prefer to have their partner sit them down and break the news then walk in on them in bed with someone else. But I guess when you're cheating on your spouse, their feelings aren't exactly the first thing on your mind. These Redditors share their heartbreaking horror stories of discovering their partner was unfaithful, and to be honest, they are pretty brutal.

If it's not your first time on the rodeo, then you know relationships are complicated. Jealousy is often an issue that comes up, but people seriously need to learn how to trust their significant others (unless there have been acts of cheating in the past). On Reddit's infamous "Am I The A**hole?" subreddit, a Redditor told a quick tale about how her friend's boyfriend gave her a ride because her brother with a health condition needed his meds STAT. When she got back, however, the guy's girlfriend was upset that the two were alone in a car together because they dated once upon a time. The GF is obvs super insecure, and should probably discuss this with her BF instead of taking it out on her friend, in my humble opinion. Scroll down for what Redditors had to say about this drama. 

So apparently there is a thread, actually a couple of threads, on Reddit that men use to express what lies they think they've been told to by women. Some of them seem pretty angry about it too, let's go through and assess these terrible falsehoods we've been spreading. It's our right as women to know what lies we are telling after all. We can change!

Judging by one thread based off of a tweet which posed the question, "What's the funniest excuse for cheating someone has given you?" there are a LOT of morons out there.

We're no detectives but we have to agree that these are some pretty good clues that your significant other might be cheating.

And while most of these sound like personal experiences, there is one in here that we truly agree it, "gut feeling".

But the key to any healthy relationship is communication! If don't have that -- you don't have anything! 

Here are Twitter users helpful clues to finding out if you're being cheating on:
