He Created A Fake Instagram Account And Messaged His Girlfriend To Trick Her Into Coming Clean About Cheating On Him
When you’re in a relationship, you get to know your partner better than anyone – which is why it’s pretty easy to tell when something is “off.”
This man recently found himself in the same boat regarding his girlfriend, and eventually, he decided to get to the bottom of it and go through her phone.
At that point, he discovered some suspicious texts between her and a male friend. In the messages, they’d discussed meeting up – something that was never mentioned to him – and were generally flirting with each other. Plus, his girlfriend was supposedly talking to the guy in “coded language” about sleeping together.
“There was nothing overt, but still pretty sketchy,” he recalled.
He realized that if he confronted his girlfriend and she was actually cheating, though, then she might just lie and bury the truth even deeper. That’s why he came up with a way to trick her into coming clean.
He wound up creating a fake Instagram account, pretending to be someone else, and sent his girlfriend a DM. Within the message, he claimed to know that she was sleeping with her male friend and had proof.
Then, he even threatened to contact her boyfriend in three days if she did not confess.
His plan worked seamlessly, too, because the very next day, his girlfriend sat him down and confessed to cheating on him. Still, she would not tell him who the male “friend” was or how long the affair had been going on.
“[She said] she was sorry, she loved me and wanted to make things work, it meant nothing, blah blah blah,” he explained.

Afterward, once her spiel was over, he spilled the beans about how he was behind the fake Instagram account and obviously already knew about her infidelity.
His girlfriend was shocked and totally freaked out on him. In fact, he was apparently forced to leave his apartment and stay at a friend’s place just to get away from her.
“She was gone along with most of her clothes when I came back the next day. And she’d completely trashed the place while I was gone,” he revealed.
Now, this all went down a few weeks ago, and he’s been trying to cope with the fallout since then.
It hasn’t been fun dividing up their belongings and finding a new apartment while trying to move on.
On top of that, he ultimately found out who his girlfriend was cheating with, and it was a guy he’d met numerous times. They’d even shaken hands, and he never thought anything was going on between them.
“Mostly, I feel like an idiot for having trusted her. I’ve never cheated on anyone, and I assumed she was cut out of the same cloth,” he vented.
His girlfriend, on the other hand, thinks he’s a total jerk for tricking her like that, and he can’t help but wonder if she might have a point.
Can you understand why he wanted to make sure his girlfriend couldn’t lie her way out of this, hence the trick? Did he go too far, or did she deserve it?
