Woman discovers that her soon-to-be husband has been cheating on her. She discovers his dating app profile and sees all of the conversations he's been having with other women claiming they were "polyamorous," which they most certainly were not. This man is the father of her children and has been her partner for years. She and he were only 40 days out from their elopement. She ended the wedding, but before letting him know that she had caught him red handed, she wanted revenge. 

 

This is a tough situation, however, because she wanted to be able to have a peaceful co-parenting situation… So, she comes up with a plan that is just satisfying enough to make him feel the burn, but not ruin his chance at being a good father to their children.

  • "I changed my fiancé's Tinder account"

    Well, it's exactly as it reads. I (30F) was engaged to my fiancé (32M).... until I wasn't.

  • 40 days before the wedding I found out he was cheating. I had a dress, we had flights (destination elopement), it was 40!!! DAYS OUT lol.

  • Anyway, he had a Tinder account & was telling women we were polyamorous if it came up.

  • Well, before I fully called off the engagement I went on his phone & changed the Tinder account. I don't care if it's petty or evil.

  • We had two kids, a home, a whole a life. So, I changed the account. Replaced his photos with mine, deleted his bio & even paid the like $8??? Fee.

  • So he could see how many likes were coming in. When he seen it, he sh bricks. After maybe 6 hours, there were already thousands of likes- men trying to match me.

  • Shortly after I made him leave (I own the home) & canceled the entire wedding. Needless to say, I am doing MUCH better these days.

  • You'd think she would go to his profile and label him a cheater and explain to all the women he was talking to that he was a father and WAS engaged to be married. Instead, she came up with an even better plan! To have him get constant alerts of just how desirable she was and he wasn't. Her choice to change his profile to her's and have his phone go off every time a man tried to make moves on his soon-to-be-ex-wife is just *chef's kiss*!

  • Some things to clarify: 1. I am real, this is a real story. There's some angry a people on here??? It's ridiculous.
    via SomeonesIBSdemon
  • I don't want to share gritty details because idk who will see this. It's the internet.
    via SomeonesIBSdemon
  • 2. He is a good father, I don't want to take him for all he's worth. Our kids are #1 priority, end of story.
    via SomeonesIBSdemon
  • We handled our split like adults, our kids are young & doing incredible. Their life won't fall apart because mommy isn't married LOL.

  • Look up statistics on maternal depres on & childhood outcomes & get back to me if you're so worried about it.

  • 3. This was over a year ago, I quite literally forgot I did this. After we split, me remembering I did this wasn't in the forefront of my mind.

  • I was healing, my world was upside down- in addition, I have a career in social work, two kids & am working toward another degree.
    via SomeonesIBSdemon
  • I've scrolled on here for a while & this account was originally made when I was posting to get advice for this whole situation;
    via SomeonesIBSdemon
  • my posts were sad & I deleted them because... it made me feel gross to see them? Who cares.
    via SomeonesIBSdemon
  • 4. At the time I did this, I could very easily change things on his Tinder. I don't use dating apps anymore.
    via SomeonesIBSdemon
  • Idk what they have changed since then. It was pretty surface level things (photos, bio & preferences) & didn't need any authorizations to change anything.
    via SomeonesIBSdemon
  • 5. People have kids and don't get married. YOU DONT HAVE TO GET MARRIED LOL. Build a bridge & get over it.
    via SomeonesIBSdemon
  • 6. I'm 5'4, blonde & have a regular build? I go to the gym often, so I am toned enough for being a mom of two & am pretty covered in tattoos.
    via SomeonesIBSdemon
  • 7. I have been seeing someone & he is absolutely incredible. Please stop messaging me things like "want to fto get back at him?"
