Last updated on May 4, 2024 by Michelle Devani

Tears ran down your eyes as you cannot believe what happened. You held back your scream as much as you can. Your heart felt like it was just ripped to pieces. You just read the text your partner sent to another person. It was so affectionate that you are sure your partner is having an affair.

You are feeling miserable. You hate to admit that it was the truth, but of course, you have to. While it is important to confront the cheater, you also need to construct a well-made plan on how to tell them that you know they cheated. Never confront a cheater without preparing yourself first. Now, we will tell you some ways to tell your ex that you know they cheated on you;

  1. Gather the Evidence - If you do not have enough evidence that they have cheated on you, do NOT confront them, yet. They will just give you hundreds of excuse that they do not cheat on you. Take a screenshot, a photo, or maybe a receipt for jewelry (that they did not give to you). When you gather enough of them, go ahead and confront them.
  2. Keep Your Calm - Of course, we know keeping your calm would be very hard to do. But keeping yourself calm and collected is very important in order for you to make the best decision. Moreover, you will want your partner to explain as much as they can. Screaming and throwing things will not help you to get any of that. Take a deep breath, clear your mind, and then try to talk as calm as possible.
  3. Don’t Show Them What You Got - In the first point, we told you to gather the solid evidence. But when you confront them, do not show the evidence yet. Just tell them that you know they cheated on you, and let them explain. When you find that they are not telling the truth, lay out the evidence that you have collected to break they horrible excuses. They will realize that there is no need to lie to you, and admit all the truths to you.
  4. Do NOT Blame Yourself - After you tried talking to them, there would be a possibilty that they will turn the table and blame it all on you. If they do this, do not admit that it was your fault. They are the one who cheated. They are the one who is at fault. You need to maintain your dignity. Now that you know they cheated, This Is What to Do When Your Boyfriend Has a Crush on Another Girl.
