Being cheated on is many people’s worst nightmare. I’ve heard countless stories of unsuspecting victims’ lives being turned upside down in an instant when the news breaks that their partner has been unfaithful.
And when you find yourself in that situation, it can feel paralyzing. But one woman quickly realized that the best way to expose her partner was by giving him a taste of his own medicine by leading him on. Below, you’ll find a few videos that Taylor Willis recently shared on TikTok detailing the saga of how she found out she was being cheated on, as well as a conversation with Advanced Relationship Coach Jane Parker.

Apparently, even the restaurant staff was on Taylor’s side

Cheating occurs in about 40% of all unmarried relationships
As much as we like to pretend that it could never happen to us when we’re in a happy, loving relationship, cheating is, unfortunately, not uncommon. According to a survey from Smith Investigation Agency, in about 40% of unmarried relationships and in a quarter of all marriages, someone will be unfaithful.
And for many people, emotional affairs are just as devastating as physical ones. In fact, 73% of women say they would be extremely upset if their partner was emotionally cheating, and 56% of men echoed the same sentiment.
But that doesn’t stop people from engaging in this kind of behavior, as over 78% of men and over 91% of women admit they’ve had an emotional affair at some point.
Most affairs don’t last very long, as a quarter only last a week or less, and 65% end within six months. Only a small subset, 10% to be exact, grow into long-term affairs. But it only takes one night to cause irreparable damage to a relationship.
Smith Investigation Agency found that it’s about 50/50 when it comes to whether or not a cheater will confess to their partner that they’ve been unfaithful. But there’s a huge risk, as many relationships simply can’t survive the damage that infidelity causes.
As for why people cheat in the first place, it can stem from a variety of reasons. Betterhelp notes that people are often unfaithful because they’re not happy in their primary relationship or they find emotional affairs to be exciting. If they’re not feeling satisfied with the intimacy in their relationship, they might also want to explore other options.
Some people also cheat because they struggle to maintain a committed relationship or have a compulsion to intimacy that they struggle to control. And sometimes, cheating is simply a mistake that not a lot of thought went into.

To find out more about this topic, we got in touch with Advanced Relationship Coach Jane Parker. She was kind enough to have a chat with Bored Panda and discuss how devastating it can be to find out your partner has been cheating.
“It often shatters trust, self-esteem, and emotional safety within the relationship,” the expert shared. “Many people experience intense grief, anger, confusion, and even symptoms similar to trauma. It challenges a person’s sense of reality and security, and recovery usually takes considerable time and support.”
Jane also noted that confronting a partner about infidelity is emotionally intense and often feels overwhelming. “That’s completely normal. However, if you can approach the conversation with as much emotional regulation as possible, you greatly increase your chances of getting honest answers rather than defensiveness or further conflict,” the relationship coach says.
“Staying grounded doesn’t mean suppressing your feelings — it means choosing a way to express them that keeps the focus on truth and understanding,” Jane explained. “Preparing ahead, setting a calm tone, and being firm can make a difficult conversation more productive.”
As for whether or not it’s ever a good idea to try to repair a relationship after someone’s cheated, Jane says it will only work if both partners are genuinely committed.
“Moving past infidelity requires transparency, deep remorse from the partner who cheated, rebuilding emotional safety, and often professional support like couples therapy,” she shared. “It’s not about simply ‘forgiving and forgetting’; it’s about rebuilding a relationship based on honesty, accountability, and mutual healing.”
Finally, Jane added that healing from infidelity is not a quick or linear process. “Trust isn’t given back — it must be consistently earned through actions over time.”
“For some couples, betrayal marks the end of the relationship; for others, it becomes the painful beginning of a deeper, more honest partnership,” the expert continued. “There’s no right or wrong — only what feels healthy and authentic for each individual.”
