A woman discovered that her husband was cheating on her after seeing a clue on a fitness app.
Long gone are the days of following your other half around in disguise when they’re starting to act a little sketchy, now you can catch them in the act straight from your phone.
And no, I’m not talking about stalking them on Instagram or outing them on your Snapchat when you see a username you’ve never seen before – things are much more complex than that now.

“I figured out my ex-husband was cheating on me through Strava,” she announced to her followers on TikTok in a viral video that has been viewed over 2.1 million times.
Of course, she and her husband followed each other on the app, but what her cheating partner failed to remember was the fact that if your account is set to public, it shares data with all of your followers – data that can clearly expose you if you’re cheating – including a map of your fitness routes.
“When he first came home from deployment he wasn’t really going into to work a lot, so there were a lot of days he would go on runs,” she recalled while baking banana bread in her kitchen. “There were times that I offered to go on runs with him, and he would make up some excuse about how he was going to run too far for me [or that] I wouldn’t be able to keep up.”
A lame excuse if I ever did hear one.

However, things got really suspicious after her partner randomly woke up and decided he would be taking a “break” from their relationship.
“This is when I started digging in and saying something bigger must be going on here,” said Mcgee and after a bit of snooping, she was disappointed to discover that she was right.
“So while this didn’t tell me the whole story,” continued McGee. “It sure gave me a lot of reassurance about who he was cheating on me with and what he was doing all those times he was gone.”

Of course, TikTokers were outraged, but also impressed by McGee’s investigation.
The betrayed lover replied to the comment confirming that the assumption was in fact correct.
A third also brought up a classic stereotype: “The second you said ‘deployment’ I knew been there done that.”
Others also shared their own stories of betrayal.
And this user also had a wild story writing: “I found out through out grocery store app. I saw that he was making purchases for items we didn’t have at a grocery store no were near our home.”
This TikTok user also recalled: “I found out my ex cheated on me when the Airbnb host left a review about how ‘he and Martha’ were such great guests. My name isn’t Martha.”
I hope y’all were making notes from this because I sure as hell have.
