Today, I though it would be funny to go on my boyfriend's facebook to change his status. While in the process, his account received a message. Turns out he's planning on hooking up with his ex girlfriend/one of my friends and is definitely over me. How's that for snooping around? FML

YDI for snooping.

#1 - 11/03/2009 at 2:04pm - punjeeba

I never got the whole YDI for snooping thing...... 1) According to her she wasn't actually snooping... just pranking her bf and then she got curious. I've fooled arouund with friends profiles (ie changing their sexual interests or statuses). I never really cared about their messages but I can see how a more curious person would. 2) I'm a little confused as to how someone would catch a cheater without snooping. Sure you can ask them to tell the truth.... but I assume that since the fact that they are cheaters it kinda comes with the territory that they will lie.... some could be honest... but the idea of an honest cheater strikes me as a sort of an oxymoron. Do you ask if they have cheated and they so no you take it at face value and move on so that the good people of fmylife will pity you more in the long run? Now I have never been cheated on so would asking without checking up or verifying be a perfectly acceptable 100% flawless plan? Is ignorance preferable to finding out that your boyfriend/girlfriend is a lying ass/slut and just being all happy while they either dump you out of the blue, subject you to various Std's, etc? Is it similar to the whole don't snitch thing where finding/telling the truth= very bad? Do you ask them if they are cheating so they could lie to your face with the hope that they stop what they are doing? Or lie to your face and either stop out of fear or continue on with you oblivious? Can one of the ydiers explain it to me or is it under the impression that all people who snoop are insecure, untrustworthy fucks who should have never suspected their loved ones of everything even if they were guilty of what they are accused of?

It's called trolling. You fell for it.

#45 - 11/03/2009 at 3:55pm - GreenHacker

I love you :)

#62 - 11/03/2009 at 4:48pm - lone_wanderer

holy crap, someone on fmylife.com who makes sense... here, have a cupcake

#64 - 11/03/2009 at 4:50pm - hvitfeldtska

#42 In some ways snooping wouldn't be a YDI (like if you suspected cheating and did some casual searching to find out) but snooping for no good reason is bad. Just because you're curious as to what's inside you wouldn't break into someone's house, would you?

#75 - 11/03/2009 at 5:24pm - love15

#42 you are confused because you are stupid and not funny

#110 - 11/03/2009 at 9:16pm - Rakayum

#42: reading someone's MESSAGES when changing their STATUS is called SNOOPING. No matter how you slice it. also, where does the whole subject to various STD's come into play? who said that they didn't use protection, or that ANY of them have STD's? Cheating is cheating, don't get me wrong, and it is fucked up; i've yet to be cheated on and i've never cheated. but don't say that she wasn't snooping, b/c she definitely fucking was. 'Curiosity' as you quoted is not an excuse for it, even if she did find out some potentially harmful information. *also, just b/c her boyfriend was planning on cheating doesn't mean that they wouldn't own up to it; if she asked, yes its quite possible he'd lie, but its also possible that he either a) feels bad and confesses, or b) doesn't care about her so he won't have a problem owning up to it. either way, she should still talkn to him about it

#143 - 11/05/2009 at 12:00pm - jpd212

143: RIGHT.FUCKING.ON! I never feel sorry for girls who looks through their significant other's things. You wanted to find something bad, otherwise you wouldn't have looked. OP completely deserves it.

#154 - 11/20/2009 at 10:23pm - SuchaLady

Both FYL and YDI. That sucks but a/ Facebook=evil , b/you shouldn't even have had the idea to change his profile without telling him c/Once the message received you shouldn't have read it !

#2 - 11/03/2009 at 2:05pm - Daremo

He clearly gave her access to his account. I log into my GF's all the time.

#119 - 11/03/2009 at 11:22pm - MoobyTheCow

Sucks to be you. But eh, at least you found out, even though it was a crap way to.

#3 - 11/03/2009 at 2:08pm - chillpillplz

haha

#151 - 11/06/2009 at 8:28pm - Julianos

Now you can turn the table and play his cards. Well.. sort of. At least break it off with him before he does it to you.

#4 - 11/03/2009 at 2:10pm - Fleecy

Ok this is evil but even better, if you reply to the message posing as your boyfriend apologizing for being carried away and being loyal to you. Then breakup with your boyfriend and call her X telling her that your boyfriend has confided in and she should never contact the guy ever again.

#12 - 11/03/2009 at 2:34pm - wtfwts

what happened to the good old days when a man could cheat on his bitch with her only suspecting not knowing? ahhh:/ times change....times change...

#5 - 11/03/2009 at 2:12pm - greent

haha women arent real people anyway

#15 - 11/03/2009 at 2:38pm - hate_my_life29

Pay back time...... Give us his e mail and password

#6 - 11/03/2009 at 2:15pm - Emarati

Good for you snooping around. Before you turn the page, time to Fuck them both over! With all of the brilliant minds on FML, let's see some ideas on how you can mess with both of them...

#7 - 11/03/2009 at 2:17pm - Skull_300

Snooping around bad no doubt about that, but it's always at the right time. Fate. But paybacks a bitch ;) FYL

#8 - 11/03/2009 at 2:19pm - CruNKmONKey

Pretened to be your boyfriend and write to the girl. Have fun knowing his password ;)

#9 - 11/03/2009 at 2:20pm - uj

that password will be a good tool for payback if you want it to be

#10 - 11/03/2009 at 2:23pm - ProfitOfDoom

why do people have to make the last sentence something dumb these days? cut out the last sentence and i wouldn't have clicked ydi, not that it matters what a collection of anonymous people online think, but i wouldve had a lot more sympathy without that last sentence. i realize the irony that the above sentence makes little sense and is a run-on, but i just don't give enough of a fuck to change it.

#11 - 11/03/2009 at 2:24pm - guitardedman

Haha I get what youre saying though. I felt bad for the OP until I read that last sentence! Not that she deserves to be cheated on or anything...but that last sentence just sounded cocky.

#63 - 11/03/2009 at 4:48pm - SOMAgirl

ydi... id cheat on you too

#13 - 11/03/2009 at 2:37pm - hate_my_life29

YDI for thinking that'd be remotely funny tbh

#14 - 11/03/2009 at 2:37pm - Dcvictorious

Changing your SO's status on Facebook actually can be pretty funny... my boyfriend and I do that to each other all the time when we're sharing computers and one of us forgets to log out.

#29 - 11/03/2009 at 3:00pm - your_face

Maybe, but seeing unfunny facebook rapes annoy me, at least use the 30 minutes you've used to think up the joke for something funny.

#78 - 11/03/2009 at 5:31pm - Dcvictorious

To get back at him, you should do a TRIPLE - DOUBLE or at least DVDA. Record it, then show it to him after you have some "quality time" with him. Give him the new STD's that you just got

#16 - 11/03/2009 at 2:39pm - donkey_hang_down

Its still the same buddy. Its just that, not every girl is like your mum and that man thing that your daddy carried died along with him. Alas! he never seeded a son.

#17 - 11/03/2009 at 2:40pm - wtfwts

you deserve it for messing with his stuff. I just can't wait to see a new FML saying "My girlfriend went to change my status on facebook, and found out I was cheating."

#18 - 11/03/2009 at 2:44pm - J_Harless

Facebook dooms relationships. FMyLife.com has plenty of proof.

#19 - 11/03/2009 at 2:45pm - SaintJimmy

Life dooms relationships. fmylife.com has plenty of proof.

#67 - 11/03/2009 at 4:57pm - willothwisp

I agree with #19. ;)

#20 - 11/03/2009 at 2:48pm - perdix

i was sure someone would say YDI for snooping. here's the thing: nobody deserves to be cheated on. so no, she doesn't deserve it, don't be a moron.

#21 - 11/03/2009 at 2:48pm - atty11

agreed!! I get so annoyed when i see ppl saying ydi for things where they dont dererve it all

#38 - 11/03/2009 at 3:33pm - lacho95

maybe you should get annoyed about things that matter

#49 - 11/03/2009 at 4:00pm - beethoven

E-mail her back pretending to be your bf and cancel their date, telling her that you just found out you have herpes or something, and the break up with him.

#22 - 11/03/2009 at 2:50pm - MiddleChild08

Its really poor form to go into other peoples acounts on anything. Facebook, myspace, e-mail ect are all personal things that you dont belong in if they arent yours. Finding undesirable information while doing something you arent supposed to sucks, but you didnt belong there in the first place so you only bring it on yourself. Yeah it sucks that he was planning on cheating on you no one deserves that but then again you werent doing right yourself. Now Im not really sure who should break up with who. You with him because he was planning on cheating or him with you because you go into his personal things.

#23 - 11/03/2009 at 2:51pm - Im_Not_Jimmy

I think cheating is far worse than going into your boyfriend's account to play a prank. It's not like she was snooping around anywhere serious.

#44 - 11/03/2009 at 3:51pm - Paneity

the real thing is, why does she have his password in the first place? If he gave it to her then he has opened up the possibility of her going in there and has more or less given her permission to do so. Its like giving someone the key to your house and saying stop by anytime. But if that person snuck in through the broken window around back then it is something different.

#70 - 11/03/2009 at 5:05pm - ProfitOfDoom

I agree with Profit. He must have given her his password at some point. This is also probably not the first time that she signed on to his account. He should have known that there was a possibility that she would see it.

#95 - 11/03/2009 at 7:24pm - synchroskater

Or he left it open.. my brother leaves his MySpace signed in and I mess with it a little bit

#106 - 11/03/2009 at 9:04pm - cucumberfabulous

then whatever you leave open is open for the whole world to see. that's your fault if you dont take the time to log off.

#127 - 11/04/2009 at 8:23am - ProfitOfDoom

Some would say no one deserves to be cheated on. I would say that a snooping bitch deserves to get whatever she finds out...

#24 - 11/03/2009 at 2:52pm - Northsidebill

and if she weren't snooping, how would you justify the cheating? you bastard.

#86 - 11/03/2009 at 6:06pm - atty11

ydi for dating your friend's ex

#25 - 11/03/2009 at 2:54pm - spank_u_veryhard

He's a fucking idiot for giving out his password. She should fuck him up with the information she found out.

#26 - 11/03/2009 at 2:56pm - Skull_300

She didn't say she knew his password. I don't know my boyfriend's password, but that doesn't mean I've never been on his Facebook account. We share computers a lot - when one of ours breaks, or we don't feel like getting it, etc. If I get on his computer, and he hasn't logged out of FB, then I'm magically in his account. We've come to a truce on changing each other's statuses, but that's because it's happened often enough that it lost the humor. OP and her boyfriend might not have gotten to that point yet; changing a status is just harmless fun, as long as you don't say anything too embarrassing. Not that it's okay to read his messages while you're there. That's none of your business, OP. What you found sucks, but you shouldn't have read it. That right there shows that you either are too nosy for your own good, or you don't trust your boyfriend. If you're nosy, you need to grow up and learn to control your curiosity before you're really ready for a relationship; if you don't trust him, well, then you can't have a healthy relationship.

#32 - 11/03/2009 at 3:09pm - your_face

I agree that she shouldn't have read it, and that being on someone else's account doesn't give you the right to read their messages, BUT I think she had a right to be nosy/suspicious if she in fact was snooping. After all, if she previously suspected him of cheating, apparently she was right. FYL OP.

#80 - 11/03/2009 at 5:34pm - themixedt4pe

Then, he's a Fucking Idiot for not logging out. Whatever... She found out, now time for operation pay back!

#81 - 11/03/2009 at 5:35pm - Skull_300

YDI for snooping your bf's Facebook account. Or as Doctor Robotnik would say, "Snooping as usual, I see?"

#27 - 11/03/2009 at 2:58pm - Wololo

fuck up cunt. NOBODY deserves to be cheated on. If you've ever had a girlfriend, you'd know how it feels you fucking cunt

#39 - 11/03/2009 at 3:36pm - lacho95

It says " Turns out he's planning on" not "Turns out he's been cheating on me". He might of planned on telling her it was over before he hooked up with his ex.

#28 - 11/03/2009 at 3:00pm - Vonuc

While your boyfriend is a total jackass and nobody actually deserves to be CHEATED on, you deserve it for snooping. Your deserved to find out all crappy things he was up to. "OH BOO HOO for me I'm a snooping little sneak and found things I didn't want to see and know my feeling are hurt!" that may not exactly apply to the OP here, cause I don't her or HOW she is feeling. I have NO SYMPATHY for annoying little sneaky insecure snoops!

#30 - 11/03/2009 at 3:07pm - avalon24

Apparently she had good reason for snooping - he is clearly untrustworthy. I've been with my bf for 5 years and have never gone into his e-mail, facebook, phone, etc. Because I trust him. But if you're cheating, you clearly can't be trusted. If she didn't snoop and she found out later after she'd gotten an STD and he'd cheated on her with someone, you'd say YDI for not knowing he was cheating or something else equally stupid. I don't advocate snooping at all. But in this case, he broke the trust before she did by setting up a bootie call.

#54 - 11/03/2009 at 4:12pm - perstephane

Some of you morons who say that HER SNOOPING IS JUSTIFIED because he was cheating need to look at it from the point of view that snooping is 100% wrong no matter what you find. Snooping is NEVER okay. Would you dumbasses still be defending her if she hadnt found him doing anything wrong? Doubt it! And those that would still defend her are probably sneaky little snoops too. I agree to an extent that if he is cheating and you SUSPECT that you can kind of look around for more info and clue, BUT NOT SNOOP to protect yourself from the chance of getting an STD, but in her case she went on to mess with his FB status, and THEN SNOOPED, when she snooped she found something (and maybe that was a good thing) but she hadn't suspected him of doing anything wrong in the first place! So she was just being a sneaky no good little snoop for no reason other than to be nosy!

#65 - 11/03/2009 at 4:52pm - avalon24

why are you so paranoid about "sneaky little snoops?" you must have a lot that you don't want anyone to find out...you probably have some creepy or disgusting habit that you would justify with "well it doesn't matter that you know cause you're a SNOOP!" if anyone found out. are you in NAMBLA? I've never "snooped" on my boyfriend because I love and trust him, but I'm not some paranoid maniac who goes on mad tangents about how evil "snoopers" are.

#102 - 11/03/2009 at 8:40pm - expen_dable

Whether she was justified in snooping or not isn't the issue here - I was pointing out that she doesn't deserve to be CHEATED ON because she snooped, as all the "YDI for snooping" posts imply. If you snoop you deserve: for your significant other not to trust you, to possibly break up with you, and to have to work really hard to gain that trust back if they don't. What you don't deserve is to be cheated on. That's like saying that if you cheat on a test you deserve to have someone else bang your girlfriend. There's no connection between the action and the consequence. And yes, I've already anticipated "yes there's a connection, he's cheating on her BECAUSE she's a sneaky bitch!" Still no excuse - you have a problem with someone, you tell them. You don't go bang someone else.

#128 - 11/04/2009 at 10:55am - perstephane

I don't see anything about anyone cheating. And shit the way some people are going about this makes them look like they think their opinion is fact. No one knows the whole damn story. Shhiiiiiiiitttttt people.

#132 - 11/04/2009 at 2:21pm - eATT

YDI for snooping AND dating an asshole

#31 - 11/03/2009 at 3:08pm - AntiChrist7

Eh, cry a river, build a bridge and get over it.

#33 - 11/03/2009 at 3:12pm - DJ_Grim

So was it funny? You never told us if you laughed or not. I bet your boyfriend is laughing as he is banging your best friend.

#35 - 11/03/2009 at 3:20pm - donkey_hang_down

Fuck anyone who says you deserve it for "snooping". He was up to whatever he was up to before you "snooped". And not have opening the message wouldn't have prevented it. Good for you for finding out. If someone wants to be trusted, they have to behave in a trustworthy mannor. It's a two-way street. Your bf totally deserved for you to open his message.

#36 - 11/03/2009 at 3:21pm - biteyourtongue

I bet your bf is tired of your snooping around. That'd teach u a lesson.

#37 - 11/03/2009 at 3:29pm - WonderBlunder

What a dick. Why so douchey?

#40 - 11/03/2009 at 3:37pm - pleura

"Turns out he's planning on hooking up with his ex girlfriend/one of my friends and is definitely over me." well if hes over you then maybe he was going to break it off first. and since he was only planning, makes it even more likely he was going to dump you first. to all the people who keep saying stuff about cheating...its not cheating if you dump them first. and its not cheating till you do it.

#41 - 11/03/2009 at 3:41pm - Plumppotato

#41 BS. If not physically, he's cheating emotionally. That's just as bad.

#50 - 11/03/2009 at 4:02pm - biteyourtongue

what if he was planning on dumping her soon since he was already over her? is it still emotionally cheating? he didnt actually do anything. he doesnt like her anymore. unless he hooks up with the other person before dumping his girlfriend, he really isnt doing anything wrong. if he was planning on cheating, but not planning on breaking up, then yes. that is technically still cheating. but if he was going to break up with her, and hasnt done anything yet, hes not at fault. key words being yet, and before.

#101 - 11/03/2009 at 8:25pm - Plumppotato

Thought it'd be funny to log into his account ... i.e. you purposely spied on him and needed an excuse to hide how much of a raging jealous bitch you are. Even if you were on his account when he got the message, you still would have needed to click on it, which was not at all related what what your supposed purpose was. No one likes a cheater but it's no better to be a spy - they go to the same basic tenet of relationships - trust. So, sorry, no sympathy from me.

#43 - 11/03/2009 at 3:51pm - itsmelen

dude it sucks being cheated on but why on EARTH does anyone think it's okay to snoop

#46 - 11/03/2009 at 3:58pm - beethoven

Did you ever stop to think that maybe he's breaking up with you because you invade his privacy?

#47 - 11/03/2009 at 3:59pm - lasage

how is logging into a boyfriends account spying??? i know my boyfriends password, he knows mine, and its not spying if either of us logs into the other one's fb... i read his messages he reads mine its not like its a big deal. good thing you found out, call him out and leave that biiiiiiiiiiiiiiiitch

Are you retarded? It didn't say he was cheating, it says he was making plans to hook back up. And this was written from the girl's side of the story! With that bias, I'm sure he wasn't cheating!

#66 - 11/03/2009 at 4:54pm - hbgoddard

dirty slut of a woman for snooping on his profile. though he does deserve it for letting her know his password, thats just stupidity.

wow, wat a dickhead... dump his ass... and change his fb status to something so embarrassing 4 pay back... i would, lol!

#61 - 11/03/2009 at 4:40pm - jessxoxo28

YDI If you hadnt have been snooping, then you most definitly would not deserve to be cheated on. But, speaking from past experience of dating a jealous person who constantly checked my facebook/myspace/text messeges whenever they got the chance, a snoop is the most annoying thing in the world and will cause you to want to dump their ass or cheat on them, just so they can find out through snooping. I dont know if this is how this situation went, but I think it would be fair to assume this was not the first time you snooped him. And yes, you were snooping, because of the obvious reasons already stated. As for all of the girls saying "omg its ok to read his stuff hes your bf ahhhhh!!!" no, its not. This is his stuff. Especially in the high school or college years (which is usually when people with gf/bfs have a facebook) their stuff is exactly that- THEIR stuff. Leave it alone. If he is cheating on you, you'll find out anyway, either by being dumped of by finding out some other way. But now you will be dumped for snooping, if you dont dump him.

#68 - 11/03/2009 at 4:59pm - Eff_Huh

She wasn't snooping, she was playing a prank on her bf and got curious when he received a message. There's a difference. I mean, it's one thing if you constantly snoop because you can't trust your bf/gf, but this is just a little different. You have no clue that this is something she usually does. Besides, lying cheaters don't deserve privacy.

#73 - 11/03/2009 at 5:19pm - PhillyFox

"got curious" = snooping. I could "get curious" and read through everything on my gf's facebook the next time she doesn't sign out, but i don't. Not because I think I know she doesnt cheat (because lets be honest, you never REALLY know) but because I have a little bit of respect for her privacy. If someone recieves a messege, then it was obviously meant to be private, otherwise it would have been posted on his wall for everyone to read. Leave it alone. "Lying cheaters don't deserve privacy" lol. Well I never saw where he lied, first of all. But please be clear, Im not condoning anything he did/is doing, but snooping into his privacy is ridiculous. Everyone deserves privacy. If this girl had seen that, maybe they wouldnt have this problem. As for this "Emotional cheating" bullshit - What do you females call it when you go out in skimpy clothes to show off to EVERY other guy in the world? Not to mention what you call "just being flirtatious."

#76 - 11/03/2009 at 5:26pm - Eff_Huh

#76 don't act like im being a hypocrite for calling it emotional cheating. What you described, in my opinion, is being a skank. That's not right either.

#82 - 11/03/2009 at 5:43pm - biteyourtongue

To be honest if my fiance merely got curious and looked at my inbox, guess what? I wouldn't really care because I have nothing to hide. Now if he was doing it all the time or even hacking in my account to do so, I would get pissed because that would mean that he doesn't trust me at all. THAT is snooping. Why you can't seem to figure out the difference is beyond me. Not to mention, if the OP's boyfriend was so freakin' concerned about his right to privacy, then he probably shouldn't leave his account logged on in the first place, should he? As for the emotional cheating thing, not all girls wear skimpy clothes. I most certainly don't. And if a guy has a problem with her wearing that kind of stuff, he should've figured that out sooner before he asked her out. What you see is what you get.

#129 - 11/04/2009 at 1:34pm - PhillyFox

That sucks...you should have replied to the message pretending to be him and told her something to piss her off and make her hate him...then dump him.

No-one deserves to be cheated on. Even if she is a snooper. BUT...if I had to choose one I'd say YDI for snooping. For the people who keep saying she wasn't snooping. She was. She even put it in the FML. And for the people who are saying stuff like 'Oh well my bf and I know each others pws etc etc etc'...well it seems like that wasn't the case with OP and her bf cuz then he wouldn't have had such private stuff on his Facebook. IMO snooping is wrong whether or not you think your bf/gf is cheating or whether you are curious. It's private stuff. Grow up.

#77 - 11/03/2009 at 5:28pm - misspeg

so snooping is worse than cheating? you say if she hadn't been snooping, she wouldn't have gotten hurt. let me put it in simple terms for you. your logic is that the snooping came first, and then she found out he was cheating, so it's her fault. well, the cheating started before she snooped, so according to your logic, isn't the guy at fault, rather than the girl? such simple minds.

#87 - 11/03/2009 at 6:09pm - atty11

YDI for going through his shit.

#79 - 11/03/2009 at 5:34pm - abcdork

Don't snoop stupid moron.

#84 - 11/03/2009 at 5:58pm - newlysinglegirl

OP, FYL. I don't condone snooping, but he should have nothing to hide. I tend to think that people who get overly angry about snooping/privacy are hiding something! If my bf went through my stuff I'd ask him what he was doing, but I wouldn't really be bothered as I have no secrets from him. I tell him everything about my life anyway and want to share it all with him! Dump the cheat.

#85 - 11/03/2009 at 6:04pm - User895

Thats what you get. YDI!

#88 - 11/03/2009 at 6:10pm - Erindub

FYL. But give him a chance to tell you about it before you think to harshly of him.

#89 - 11/03/2009 at 6:16pm - Kristoffer

well, she couldnt help reading the message.. xD

#91 - 11/03/2009 at 6:33pm - Sindy

Retard.

#93 - 11/03/2009 at 6:57pm - itspretzelday

That does suck. And I'll say your better off knowing now, but it's somewhat of your own fault. Changing someone's status, which personally I think is harmless, and going through someone's message is different. You went from small reasoning over something silly, to reasoning why you become nosy-stalker girlfriend. Give the man some space women!

#94 - 11/03/2009 at 7:10pm - BadLuckBub

I don't think this is snooping, if the OP did exactly what she said she did. My boyfriend of 4 years and I live together, and we each have our own computer. Sometimes if one of us isn't in the room, the other will change the status to "Boyfriend is not nearly as awesome as Girlfriend" or "Girlfriend is gay", and if I'm using my boyfriend's computer and a fb chat or message comes up, he asks me what it says! If he weren't around, I'd probably check his message anyway because that's how our relationship is. Grow up people.

#96 - 11/03/2009 at 7:25pm - 52fremont

For those who keep saying it isn't SNOOPING, the OP herself says she was snooping! Read the last line of her post!

#97 - 11/03/2009 at 7:30pm - prettyboy82

Am I the only one who thinks that it could have been a pop-up message in Facebook chat, and thus they didn't look in his inbox? :(

#98 - 11/03/2009 at 7:38pm - drkwlf

that is so bad..i just got over my boyfriend that almost cheated on me but i broke it off before he could even cheat on me, i feel so bad for you..just kick him in the balls..hon guys aren't worth it..dont just date some douche bag..get to meet the guy and find out all bout him, and then if you know him well enough then date him and b sure he's truthful and that you'll know that he will never cheat on you:)

#99 - 11/03/2009 at 7:44pm - iheartpink

why were u dating ur friend's ex??? that's pretty grimey. u deserved it!!

#100 - 11/03/2009 at 8:22pm - miss_sashay

How about you all solve the problem by not dating someone who you have to worry about snooping or cheating on you? I trust my boyfriend more than anyone, he is the one person in the world I can tell anything to and always trust. If you date someone who acts sketchy, is paranoid, looks through your stuff or just generally treats you bad, its your own fault. I love how one side is defending snooping (since they always go for cheating guys in the first place) and the other side is calling anyone who snoops "a paranoid psycho bitch" when in reality they hate "snoopers" because they are hiding something.

#103 - 11/03/2009 at 8:48pm - expen_dable

I did the same thing. I was gonna leave him a cute status and I found out some stuff he lied about. The whole situation was messy. He was a liar and I was a snoop. I'm sorry about what happened though. You probably deserve better than him anyway.

#104 - 11/03/2009 at 8:54pm - Kell1214

Next time don't snoop. Triple YDI!!!!

#105 - 11/03/2009 at 8:58pm - lostfaithinpppl

She wasn't trying to snoop, though. And even if she had been, she would have been right to be suspicious. This is not a YDI, guys. "For trying to joke around with your boyfriend, you deserved having him cheat on you with his ex"? No...no, I don't really see that. People don't really grasp the meaning of YOU DESERVED IT, I think. It is reserved for something that the poster actually did something to deserve. You know? Like the literal meaning of "you deserved it"? Yeah? Not implicit or subtle or anything, it's actually really obvious.

#107 - 11/03/2009 at 9:07pm - wrenched

Since I can't reply to the comment directly, this is to #102 -expen_dable I have a problem with snoops because any and EVERY I have ever had the displeasure of meeting including my very controlling, abusive ex (who was a no good snoop) are insecure, jealous, immature little jackasses! My ex, accused me of all kinds of things and snooped on me while he was the guilty one! I am open and honest with my partner as he is with me, we don't snoop, we respect the others privacy! I have never met a "snoop" who was a "good" person. I don't hide anything and my partner is able to look through things anytime he wants! Snooping is snooping and its a 100% wrong, just because you don't like snoopes doesn't mean you are hiding anything!

#108 - 11/03/2009 at 9:08pm - avalon24

YOU DESERVE IT DONT SNOOP AROUND! YOU MIGHT SEE SOMETHING YOU DONT WANT TO.

#109 - 11/03/2009 at 9:12pm - myepic_fail

How the hell does she deserve it? Her boyfriend must know she can get into his account if she changes his status. He's a moron for cheating on her and leaving the evidence in a place where he knows she can find it. Reading his messages may not have been totally okay, but I think that's a lot better to live with than finding out about him cheating after the fact. Get yourself tested and get a new boy. And better luck with the new one!

#111 - 11/03/2009 at 9:19pm - startafire

this FML can go either way. I myself have never had any passwords or availability to look into my SO's texts, Facebook, email, what have you, nor have I ever wanted to, but if I suspected cheating you better believe I'd do anything I could to find out, even if I was "snooping". besides sometimes if I'm busy I'll have my friends or SO check an incoming text or a message on Facebook. I think it's better that the OP found out he was planning to hook up with some other girl -- would you guys rather her get hurt than find out by snooping?

#112 - 11/03/2009 at 9:20pm - LeCielNousAide

hahaahah yes.

#113 - 11/03/2009 at 9:59pm - stupiddumbblonde

You didnt deserve to be cheated on, but you TOTALLY FAILED AT RESPECTING PRIVACY. Period.

#114 - 11/03/2009 at 10:01pm - laos2542

FYL: You were about to be part of something messy. YDI: Now you won't be, as he will likely dump you for snooping around and not respecting privacy. Problem solved for you.

#115 - 11/03/2009 at 10:08pm - youEQUALtosser

why'd he give you the password tho? he's pretty stupid

#116 - 11/03/2009 at 10:24pm - emikinz

This might be a good time to forget about the attendant drama, and turn your focus to why he was dumping you. And why you didn't have a clue. You were having a relationship problem; it might be good to find out about it - it might be useful information to know for the future.

#117 - 11/03/2009 at 10:34pm - ChuckIII

How does she deserve it? First of all, she wasn't really snooping. She was just playing a prank on her boyfriend, which is a fun and innocent thing to do. There shouldn't even be an issue about her going onto his page, since it's supposed to be a trustworthy relationship . And second of all, even if she was snooping, that doesn't make her deserve her boyfriend cheating on her. If she was suspicious, she would absolutely be justified in looking through his stuff to find out the truth if he wouldn't tell it. If she hadn't gone onto her page, she wouldn't have found out.

#118 - 11/03/2009 at 11:14pm - allihall127

i used to go on my girlfriends all the time and leave her nice stuff to find like change her status to "is loved by me very much" or add to her info how much i love her and everything and she used to love it and think it was cute.. until one time i went to leave an i love you message, apparently she was logged on at the same time and the chat box popped up with someguy she said she wasnt talking to anymore and the first thing that pops in your face out of no where is them talking about you and doing stuff behind your back =/

#120 - 11/03/2009 at 11:35pm - tasker

At least you found out. Better than him going behind your back for a long time.

#122 - 11/04/2009 at 12:57am - smileysgoboing

OP probably knows her BF well enough to know if going onto his account and changing his status is ok with him or not - that is a legitimate reason for her to be on there. If it was just a cover for her to snoop then that's wrong. Not that I want to justify snooping, but I can see why she would get curious if she saw a message pop up from her BF's ex. Sure someone can still stay friends with an ex, but it's a little weird if they still want to private message each other. That's being shady unless you've discussed it with your current partner and they're ok with it. Not to mention this girl is also her friend...so I can see why she might suspect something. Probably should have just asked him about it though, and if he had nothing to hide he would have shown her the message! I have never been able to understand why people cheat...why would you even want a boyfriend/girlfriend in the first place?? Why don't you just stay single and go out and sleep with as many people as you want guilt-free, without the hassle of trying to hide your sleazy ways? I can't imagine ever wanting to hurt my boyfriend in that way, and I wouldn't want to have a boyfriend that I wasn't so utterly in love with that I would actually be tempted by someone else. Sure this guy was apparently only "planning" on cheating, and so maybe he was going to break it off with the OP beforehand...but to get to that point in the first place, where you're actually thinking about cheating on someone and you're talking to another girl, that's just strange. If I felt that indifferently about someone, I would break up with them long before another guy even entered my mind.

#123 - 11/04/2009 at 5:16am - bubblz

you have never have need had a partner have you, you sad little person

#148 - 11/06/2009 at 1:35pm - tomandhicky

Obviously he needed to be 'snooped' on. lol But seriously poor girl. Well, she should look on the bright side and use this as an opportunity to be the dumper not dumpee. AND regardless of what she was doing on his account is no ones business to judge. The whole point of the FML is that she basically caught him preparing to cheat, which is totally not cool!! Uh what a pig.

#124 - 11/04/2009 at 5:40am - lilmsgoodgoody

you deserved it bitch!

#125 - 11/04/2009 at 6:38am - giankyr

The OP didn't do anything to make her deserve it, even if she really was snooping instead of just being curious. I notice that half of the people on here that whine about privacy probably have something sketchy to hide in the first place. I mean come on, if you bf/gf gets a message from an ex who happens to be your best friend, and they weren't up front with it from the beginning, you would be tempted to peak. It's one thing to constantly poke around your SO's facebook all the time because you're trying to look for signs of cheating or whatever, but this is different. Looks like there are 13,000 people on here that are too dense to see that.

#130 - 11/04/2009 at 1:42pm - PhillyFox

All you effin saints who say she deserves it, screw you. I've gone on friends' profiles before, put up funny statuses, the works. It's a nice laugh. God forbid something be funny! And to the OP: You know his account password? Screw around on there some more! He deserves it! Message his ex calling her cuss word after cuss word, send a message from him to one of his guy friends claiming that he is actually gay and loves him oh so very much. Go ahead, have some fun. Show em karma's a bitch!

#131 - 11/04/2009 at 1:58pm - luvrainxoxo

Just dump him before he dumps you for snooping. You're both in the wrong here.

#133 - 11/04/2009 at 4:47pm - Shmoopie4

YDI stop being a bitch about it just dump him and never go onto another person's facebook account while yes you found that hes cheating on you you have no right to be on his facebook account so in the future have better judgement and dont be snooping around. snooping around=untrust=boyfriend dumping you= ='(

#134 - 11/04/2009 at 5:50pm - jesusXstomp

But hey, at least you now know that wasting time or energy on either of them is not worth it. Have a bit of revenge-filled fun on his account and keep both of them out of your life.

#135 - 11/04/2009 at 5:54pm - MamaC

you all need to shut the fuck up!!!okayy!!! theres not always a good guy out there and instead of being bitches be nice it wasnt her fucking ault she dated a fucking douchee!!! damm ppl these days are bastardss!!!

you support my argument for why the human race is not, in fact, advancing. it's okay, i'm sure the Darwinian theory will take care of you.

#137 - 11/04/2009 at 7:15pm - iheartpink

She has his password HE gave to her. if he didn't want her looking at hid facebook, he would have never given it to her.

#141 - 11/04/2009 at 10:24pm - iheartpink

#147 - 11/06/2009 at 1:33pm - tomandhicky

"you have never have need had a partner have you, you sad little person" I LOVE how some people seem to take personal offense to comments NOT directed at them! Amuses me so, wonder if he/she is a snoop and is pissed by the comment so attacks someone else.

#149 - 11/06/2009 at 2:13pm - prettyboy82

ydi for bad englands, "you though it would be funny" ?

#150 - 11/06/2009 at 2:33pm - Anteezy

Wow, everybody getting all pissed at him for cheating needs to re-read the post - she didn't say he was cheating. From what I saw in the post, she found out that her boyfriend is planning to break up with her. Aww shucks. Boo hoo hoo. Relationships end; she found out early because she was reading his private messages, but that is neither FML or YDI, that is Life Happens, Get Over It. Alternatively, maybe this was him pranking you - maybe he got sick of you logging into his facebook and reading his messages and changing his status and so he concocted a plan with the assistance of one of your friends, who he used to date. When she saw you logged in as him - at a time when it obviously wasn't him, she sent the message that they had written out together, specifically to freak you out, and maybe teach you a lesson about reading other people's private communication. But, "I thought it would be funny" is up there with "trying to look cool" for FMLs - either phrase is almost an automatic YDI

#152 - 11/07/2009 at 6:40am - Ejigantor

Not so funny now....huh?
