Today, through this story, you’ll come to know that cheating is a choice, not a mistake. Hi, my name is Sam, and I write about real-life stories here at CatchingCheating.com. This true incident was shared with me by Rodriguez—with his full permission, I’m publishing it here. Names and locations have been changed for privacy.
A Peaceful Life in Lake Placid
This is January 2018, and I’m on my way to my clinic. I forgot to tell you that I’m a dentist and run a small clinic in Lake Placid. I was very happy with my life because I was still single. I was so busy with my work that I didn’t have time to date. After finishing my studies, I worked in a hospital for a few years and later opened a small clinic in my hometown.
By God’s grace, everything was going well. Life felt simple, steady, and mine.
The Day Mia Walked In
Then one day, Mia came to my clinic. She had a tooth on her upper jaw that was missing. When I examined it, I discovered that it was completely decayed and a root canal was no longer possible. Therefore, the tooth would have to be extracted.
At first, she refused to have the tooth extracted. But later, she relented. I suggested a tooth transplant, and she agreed. Consequently, she began visiting the clinic more often, and we grew closer. Initially, I wasn’t interested, but from her conversations, I could tell she was starting to like me. She would come to the clinic using any excuse.
From Patient to Something More
She often called me. Initially, she would talk about her teeth, but after a while, she would start talking about personal things. I slowly started liking her. A few days passed like this, and her tooth transplant was successful. Then one day, I asked her out on a date. She smiled and said yes. And that’s how we started dating.
It was simple. Natural. The kind of beginning you don’t see coming.
Falling Deeply in Love
After dating, I learned that Mia was a social media influencer with a significant following on Instagram. She didn’t have a job at the time because she earned a good income from YouTube and Instagram. While dating, we confessed our love to each other, and I was beginning to feel like I couldn’t live without Mia. Everything was going well, and I had even made plans to introduce her to my parents.
I pictured a future. A real one. With her in it.
The Shocking Discovery
Then one day, I saw an OnlyFans notification on Mia’s phone. We were having dinner at a restaurant, and she had gone to the bathroom and left her phone on the table. Then, her phone started ringing with messages. When I looked at it, I saw OnlyFans. It was actually a payment message, stating that a payment had been sent, amounting to approximately $7,000. I was perplexed as to what OnlyFans was and what kind of payment they had sent. I didn’t pay much attention to it because I didn’t know that OnlyFans is an app where creators share videos and photos and people subscribe. And, of course, I didn’t know that it’s an adult platform.
The name meant nothing to me then. Just a strange word on a screen.
The Truth Comes Out
I didn’t talk to Mia about it at that time. And when I returned home, I searched about OnlyFans. Then I found out that OnlyFans is an adult platform. I was very angry at that time, but I controlled my anger and called Mia and asked her about it. At first, she told me that it was a scam notification. But I didn’t believe her. And I asked her if she was wrong, then I would end the relationship. Then she told me that yes, she has been working as a creator on OnlyFans for the last two years and is earning more money from there. She uses Instagram followers to increase subscriptions on OnlyFans.
Silence fell between us. Heavy. Real.
What Hurt Was the Lie
I wasn’t offended by the fact that she created an account on OnlyFans or any other website. I was offended by the fact that she hid the truth from me. Then she told me that she thought I would leave her if she told me the truth, and that she loved me very much.
She threatened me that she would delete her OnlyFans account; she didn’t want money, she wanted my love. Then I realized how much she loved me. She earns around $15,000 from OnlyFans in one month, but she was ready to give up the money for me. I also realized my mistake that I should not talk to her in a loud voice. It is her choice what she wants to do and what not. She is loyal to me, that is enough for me.
Love isn’t about control. It’s about trust.
My View on Loyalty and Freedom
Yes, I know many of you think creating an account on OnlyFans is cheating. But I think it’s not. I believe everyone has the right to live their own life, and that right shouldn’t be taken away. We’re still together, and she doesn’t hide anything from me anymore.
We chose honesty. And that changed everything.
Why “Cheating Is a Choice, Not a Mistake” Matters
Now let’s talk about the title of this story, “Cheating is a choice, not a mistake.” This title is very viral these days. And I know this is the truth for today’s generation. But I believe that if your love is true and you are loyal to your partner, your partner will care for you. If you are not loyal to your partner and don’t take care of them, you can’t expect loyalty from them.
Yes, I know that boys and girls cheat on their partners and hide it by calling it a mistake, but we wouldn’t call that true love. True love involves a sense of belonging; true love demands sacrifice.
It’s not about perfection. It’s about choosing each other—every single day. We’re still together. Stronger. Honest. Free.
