I Found Hidden Photos

Level 2 Social Lesson by: Aron Thode

Warm-up → Read & Listen → Check Understanding → Language → Use It

A photorealistic view from behind a large computer monitor shows only the upper face of a young woman peeking over the top edge. Her eyes are wide and her lips slightly parted in surprise as she looks at something on the hidden screen.

Did he cheat on me? I (F23) broke up with my boyfriend (M25) after I found some photos on his computer.

We dated for almost three years. One day, I was trying to find a file I needed on his computer. Then I opened a folder inside another folder. I was not looking through his things. I found the pictures by accident.

The photos were of a girl he used to know well. She was posing naked outside. I could tell he saved them from her Instagram Story. To me, this was not the same as looking at a random girl online. He knew her, and that changed everything.

Before this, we had many honest talks about what we think is cheating. We both said trust matters a lot. He said I was too upset over a few pictures. He also said he did not know I would feel this bad. I still feel hurt. Did I make the right choice?
