This 27-year-old woman and her boyfriend Jake, who’s 28, have been dating for three years. They also moved in together about one year ago, and up until now, she thought their relationship was wonderful.

“He has always been charming and funny, and we shared so much in common. Honestly, I thought I’d found ‘the one,'” she said.

But that all changed just last weekend after Jake went out with some of his friends for a guys’ night.

She claimed that she’s always completely trusted her boyfriend and has never been the “jealous type.” Yet, after he got home late that evening, he seemed cold and distant, and their whole relationship felt off.

At the time, she wrote it off as Jake being tired or simply having too much to drink. Then, a few days later, she couldn’t quell her suspicions any longer and snooped through his phone.

It all began when her boyfriend went to take a shower and left his phone in the kitchen.

“Normally, I wouldn’t even think to check it, but then I saw a notification pop up from Tinder,” she recalled.

“We both deleted Tinder ages ago when we got serious, so I couldn’t believe what I was seeing.”

She knew it would be wrong to go through Jake’s profile, but after seeing that notification pop up, she couldn’t help herself. She opened the Tinder app, and what she saw was heartbreaking.

Jake wasn’t just talking to other women – he was also sending them completely inappropriate messages. She caught her boyfriend complimenting other girls, planning meet-ups, and discussing what they’d do together.

This understandably made her feel sick to her stomach, which is why she confronted Jake as soon as he got out of the shower. In the beginning, he tried to brush off his behavior as “just flirting” and claimed that he never actually intended to meet any of the women in person.

“But when I showed him the messages, he turned pale. He finally admitted that he got a ‘thrill’ out of talking to other women, and he tried to tell me that it ‘didn’t count’ because it was ‘only online,'” she revealed.

She was left feeling devastated, and she made it clear that Jake had severely betrayed her trust. So, she could no longer be with him.

Her boyfriend kept apologizing and begging for forgiveness. Plus, he promised to delete Tinder and never talk to other girls online again.

Regardless, she wasn’t able to get his Tinder messages out of her head, and she ultimately broke up with him right then and there.

Afterward, Jake just packed a bag and left, and she’s since been battling mixed emotions – feeling both relieved and guilty.

“We had three good years together, and I’m torn up wondering if I should’ve tried to work through it instead of just throwing everything away,” she vented.

Now, she’s unsure if immediately ending their relationship was deserved or if she overreacted.

Would you give your partner a chance to fix what they did after something like this? Or did her boyfriend get what he deserved?
