He Walked Away From His Fiancée Without An Explanation After He Found Out That She Hooked Up With A Guy In A Club Bathroom, And He Later Sent The Evidence of Her Cheating To All of Her Loved Ones
During his freshman year of college, when he was 18, this 25-year-old man met his now ex-fiancée, Ashley, also 25.
They started out as friends, but they soon developed a romantic relationship. They had a strong connection, and everything in their relationship flowed easily and without trying too hard.
Over the years, people often would express how much they admired their relationship and how envious they were that they had such a perfect relationship. People would even say, “‘If those two broke up, then love doesn’t exist.'”
In his view, Ashley was the perfect woman for him. She was hilarious, intelligent, humble, and prioritized family, and she was looking forward to having a life with him. Throughout their relationship, both his and Ashley’s families got to know each other really well and bonded. It was as if their families had already joined together before their marriage.
One year ago, he proposed to Ashley, and she said yes.
However, after their engagement, things started to shift. Over the next several months, he noticed that Ashley started to pull away, and she seemed distant.
At first, he tried to brush it aside, assuming it was just wedding jitters. But now, he wishes he’d listened to his gut because, deep down, he knew something was wrong.
“She always went out with her group of friends on the weekends. I’ve been on these outings before. Usually, it’s clubbing and drinking. It’s not my scene, but I trusted my girl, so I had no problem with her going without me,” he said.
But as time went on, Ashley started going out drinking with her friends more often. He continued to trust her, and he attempted to push away the bad feelings he had. In the back of his head, he worried that something was going on.

Several days ago, one of Ashley’s friends texted him.
“She said she feels super guilty about what’s been going on. According to her, Ashley has been worried about getting married. She feels that she hasn’t had a chance to explore other options, and the prospect of getting ‘locked down’ for life made her really anxious,” he explained.
Then, Ashley’s friend continued, and she told him that when they all went out to clubs, his fiancée would talk flirtatiously with other men, dance suggestively against them, and kiss them. His fiancée apparently told her friends she was doing this to “‘get it out of her system.'”
In Ashley’s view, since she wasn’t hooking up with these men, she didn’t feel like she was being unfaithful.
But Ashley’s friend then told him that once, Ashley hooked up with a man in the bathroom of a club. As proof, she sent him photos and videos of some of the occurrences.
Obviously, he was beyond heartbroken and devastated.
After Ashley’s friend told him this news, he said thank you and let her know that he wouldn’t tell anyone where he’d gotten his information.
Like most people, cheating is a dealbreaker for him. What’s even more terrible is that he was also cheated on by his high school girlfriend, and after the ordeal, he tried to hurt himself. Ashley knew all of this history.
“This just makes the whole situation cut even deeper. She knows how much hurt she could cause and still went ahead with it. I wanted to crawl into bed and cry for a month. I wanted to be weak. I felt weak. I decided I would give myself the chance to mourn and cry over this after I protect myself,” he shared.
Currently, he and Ashley live together in an apartment, and they split the rent in half. After learning about Ashley’s cheating, he took two days off from his job so that he could focus on moving his belongings out of the apartment and into his brother’s house, which is on the other side of town. Luckily, his brother told him right away that he could stay with him after he told him what he found out about Ashley.
On the first day of moving, while Ashley was at work, he got all of his belongings that weren’t as essential. When she got home, she questioned why some of his stuff was gone, and he lied, saying that he sold some items he didn’t need anymore and that he moved some other things to a storage unit so that they’d have extra space in their apartment. Ashley seemed to believe this story, and while he was enraged about what he knew she’d been doing, he tried to play it off like everything was fine.
Later, Ashley asked why he seemed a bit quiet, and he said that he was just exhausted and overwhelmed with work.
The next day, his brother and sister-in-law came over while Ashley was at work to help him move the rest of his stuff out of the apartment. By 3 p.m., all of his belongings were out, and he was fully moved in with his brother and sister-in-law.
Ever since he moved out of the apartment, he hasn’t spoken with Ashley, even though she reached out to him when she came home after work and saw that all of his stuff was gone. When he wouldn’t respond to her, she reached out to his friends and family to see if they knew what was going on. At the time, they didn’t, so his family members and friends texted him. He only responded to his parents to explain why he moved out, and they completely supported his choice.
He’s avoided speaking with her family members as well, who have been texting him and calling him a jerk for leaving without even telling her the reason why. Some of her family has also taken to social media to call him out, but he doesn’t mind because he knows the truth, and so does Ashley.
After all this tension and drama with Ashley and her family, his brother and sister-in-law are now also calling his decision-making into question. They wonder if he should be refusing to give Ashley or her family an explanation of why he moved out, seemingly out of nowhere.
Upon reflection, he decided that, since he and had Ashley dated for six years, he might as well explain to her parents what happened, as well as his closest friends and family. He didn’t think anyone else deserved an explanation.
He sent a message explaining the whole story to his close friends and family, and they all believed him and understood why he chose to move out of the apartment he shared with Ashley in response to her cheating.
Then, he reached out to Ashley’s mother and asked if they could meet. Even though she was angry with him, she accepted his request. So, he met Ashley’s mother and father at a diner where they used to often get breakfast together.
At the diner, it was incredibly heartbreaking to listen to Ashley’s parents vent about how hurt they were that he completely cut off contact with them without telling them why. He spent more time listening than talking to allow her parents to get all of their emotions out in the open.
But things changed when Ashley’s parents told him that, according to Ashley, he was the one who cheated, and she kicked him out. She told everyone that he was refusing to talk to anyone because he felt so guilty.
“I literally laughed out loud. I responded by saying that I am sorry, and I wished them a happy life and walked out,” he continued.
Rightfully, he was furious that Ashley twisted the truth and framed him as the one who cheated, and he was shocked that her parents believed her story. While he could have stayed at the diner and tried to defend himself, he knew he would most likely have some choice words for Ashley’s parents, so he decided that removing himself from the situation was best.
Once he got home, he “activated the nuclear option.” He wrote an email and titled the subject line “‘For your reading pleasure.'” Then, he attached the evidence that Ashley’s friend had sent to him, as well as screenshots of text conversations between Ashley and her friend, in which Ashley talked about how she felt terrible for cheating on him.
He also attached the videos Ashley’s friend sent him of Ashley dancing and kissing different men while out at clubs. In the email, he wrote a detailed description of what went on since he learned of Ashley’s cheating. To conclude the email, he said that he didn’t want anyone to reach out to him, and he demanded that the engagement ring be returned to him.
He sent the email to Ashley, her parents, as many friends as he could possibly think of, as well as a coworker.
He doesn’t regret sending the email at all, and his brother is helping to emotionally support him as he recovers from this brutal breakup.
Do you think he did the right thing by moving out of the apartment he shared with his fiancée and then sending an email to her friends and family with evidence of her cheating?
