Woman reveals how common iPhone feature lead to her discovering her husband of NINE years was cheating
Checking to see who your significant other has been messaging is one thing, but the secret to whether your spouse is cheating could be in your own phone.
A woman named Sarah Maclean recently detailed the wild way she found out her husband of nine years – and father to her two children – had been having several affairs throughout the duration of their relationship via TikTok.
After the initial shock of her husband having an affair, she was further stunned to find out he had been speaking to hundreds of women over the course of their relationship.
So how did she make the surprising discovery? She figured it out after realizing that her husband had secretly blocked 208 numbers of random women on her phone, so they could never contact each other.
In September 2024, when Sarah was 30 weeks pregnant, she claimed her husband told her he loved her – but was no longer in love with her, so he moved out and into his mom’s house.
However, almost immediately afterwards, she alleged he started shirking his responsibilities, and stopped helping her with their toddler and pet dogs.
In a series if videos, she said she found out he had been staying at a ‘friend’s house’ occasionally, leading her to become suspicious that there was someone else in the picture.
Sarah started to investigate further, finding social media snaps of him that were posted to a woman’s account that he worked with occasionally as a photographer.

However when confronted, he said they were both going through a separation and had bonded over that.
Sarah said she had heard from people on these various work trips that they had been acting as though they were in a relationship – and to make matters worse they had initially met on her wedding day, as he had been hired to help photograph her wedding.
After sharing her story on TikTok, Sarah said other women started reaching out to her and claimed they too had relations with her husband – one of whom even said she would send screenshots of his messages.
However, when she went to message the woman, her message didn’t go through.
‘[I thought], “That’s strange, I’ve had never talked to this girl in my life,”‘ she recounted.
That’s when Sarah checked out the blocked contacts in her phone, only to find 208 blocked phone numbers.
‘[I had] never blocked them,’ she said. ‘So I went and started looking up all these numbers, [and I] realized they were all girls and my age.’
‘I knew some of these names,’ she added.

User’s were horrified by Sarah’s story, urging her to get tested for sexually transmitted diseases, and shocked by the sheer number of women he had been seeing in secret.
‘The idiot gave you the database on a platter,’ one user replied.
‘I wonder how fast the mistress went to check her phone after watching this video,’ chimed in someone else.
‘Well I’m glad you didn’t catch anything serious in 10 years cause you wouldn’t have had babies or at least have knowledge on it. I would’ve questioned the moment I got some, I’m glad you safe,’ another user wrote.
A different person shared a similar situation they had been in, writing: ‘My ex borrowed my phone once cause his “wasn’t working.” Yep, he blocked a girl he was hooking up with behind my back.’
