Been Cheated On - A Support Group for When You've Been Done Dirty

Been lied to? Betrayed? Played?

You're not alone.

Welcome to Been Cheated On—a raw, real, and supportive community for anyone who has been done dirty by someone they trusted.

This is a safe space to talk about it, whether you're dealing with:

• Infidelity & Cheating (emotional affairs, physical affairs, micro-cheating)
• Romance Scams & Catfishing (online dating scams, crypto romance scams, military scams)
• Financial Betrayal (stolen money, identity theft, being rinsed, hidden debt)
• Narcissistic Abuse & Love Bombing (discarded by a narcissist, gaslighting, hoovering)
• Ghosting & Sudden Discard (blindsided breakup, silent treatment, stonewalling)
• Revenge Porn & Digital Abuse (non-consensual image sharing, cyberstalking)
• Exploitation & Using (being used for money, a place to stay, a "rebound," or status)
• Platonic Betrayal (backstabbing friends, toxic family, workplace betrayal)
• Fraud & Scams (investment scams, contractor scams, inheritance scams)

Keywords that bring us together: Betrayal Trauma, Heartbreak, Gaslighting, Trust Issues, Healing, No Contact, Grey Rock, Pick-me Dance, Monkey Branching, Trauma Bond, Co-dependency, Self-Esteem, Moving On, Karma, Closure, Venting, Support, Survival.

What this group is:

• A place to VENT without judgment.
• A circle for SUPPORT and shared stories.
• A resource for HEALING advice (therapy tips, book recommendations, coping strategies).
• A community that understands the unique pain of BETRAYAL TRAUMA.

• A platform for revenge plotting or harassment.
• A dating or hookup group.
• A substitute for professional legal or therapeutic help.

Post Flairs to Use:

• VENT / RANT - Get it off your chest.
• NEED SUPPORT - I'm struggling today.
• SUCCESS STORY - I got through it (give us hope!).
• ADVICE NEEDED - What would you do?
• WARNING - Share a scammer's tactic or a red flag.
• RESOURCE - Helpful article, podcast, or tip.

If you're feeling humiliated, angry, lost, or broken after being robbed of your trust, peace, or money—this is your corner of the internet. We're here to listen, to believe you, and to remind you that your pain is valid.

You were wronged. You matter. Your healing is possible.

Post here. We get it.
