I caught my bf cheating with screenshots. He told everyone I faked them. AITW for exposing him?
i found texts on my bf's phone. not snooping btw it literally lit up while he was in the shower, preview showed "can't wait to see you tonight" from a name i didn't recognize.
i looked. months of texts. "i miss your body." " he has no idea." hotel receipts. the works.
i screenshot everything. sent it to myself. confronted him.
he said i "violated his privacy." said the screenshots were "out of context." said i was "crazy and insecure." then he told our friends i "faked the whole thing" because i "couldn't handle that he was pulling away."
our friends believed him. i don't know why. maybe because he's charming. maybe because i was "always jealous" (i asked about a female coworker once. once.)
i posted the screenshots to our group chat. all of them. the "i miss your body" one. the hotel receipt. the "she has no idea."
he called me "unhinged." said i "aired dirty laundry." said i "ruined his reputation" and he's "considering legal action for defamation."
half our friends are on his side. half aren't talking to either of us. my mom said i "stooped to his level."
i just wanted someone to believe me. AITW for posting them? for looking at his phone? for not just walking away quietly?
