Infidelity is a leading cause of relationship breakdowns, largely because it shatters the foundation of trust. Regrettably, the frequency of cheating is higher than one might expect.

Research indicates that around 30–40% of unmarried relationships and 18–20% of marriages see at least one incident of infidelity.

While a small proportion of couples manage to overcome the aftermath of cheating, restoring trust in a relationship after such a betrayal is an uphill battle. This makes the subject of infidelity a sensitive issue for many.

In the r/relationship_advice subreddit, a captivating tale emerged: a Redditor appears to have discovered potential unfaithfulness from her partner. Now, her most pressing challenge is figuring out how to broach the subject.

OP shared that she had gone on a weekend trip with her son and his girlfriend while leaving her partner at home. On her return, OP must have hoped to settle in bed and take a rest from the long journey, but she found her mind in knots instead.

According to her, while unpacking her things, she came across two wet towels (one on the floor and the other on the door) and a pink elastic band on the bathroom counter. This was quite surprising to OP, as neither she nor her boyfriend owned a pink headband — so whose was it? And how did it get into their room?

When OP inquired about the headband, her boyfriend denied knowing anything about it. But this was enough to set her suspicions in stone.

OP wondered if her boyfriend had done the unthinkable—could he have invited another woman to the house while she was away?

To conclude, OP tabled the matter before the Reddit community to get their opinions on the suspicious clues. Scroll down to see the final verdict.

The story in detail

A bit of background

Important edit

OP is suspecting that her boyfriend had a girl over while she was away

Second edit

Here’s how the Reddit community reacted to the story:

OP might need to pretend like she’s away, the spy on her boyfriend

OP won’t be the first to do something like that. People have been using it to cheating partners for years

“It’s probably time to have a bigger chat about the relationship.”

OP’s boyfriend might be having an affair and the mistress is intentionally leaving evidence to mark her territory

Whoever left those clues knows exactly what they’re doing

“He probably lied to a girl and told her he was single and available.”

“The thing that gets me is the hair elastic. It's not yours, it's not your son's girlfriend, it's not your boyfriend's.”

“Speaking as a guy. We don’t use more than one towel.”

The commenters had a lot to say about OP’s situation. While some believe her boyfriend is undoubtedly cheating, others feel she can't jump to conclusions without first catching him red-handed.

They advised OP to pretend to leave home if she wanted to catch him red-handed, or she could install cameras to find out what her boyfriend gets up to when she’s not around.

One person in particular asked OP to rethink the entire relationship after deep diving into OP’s previous relationship posts on Reddit.
