I caught my cheating boyfriend with a ‘brilliant’ move – then snogged the other woman to see what all the fuss was about
WHETHER it's going through their phone or stalking social media, a lot of women have investigated suspicious partners at some point.
However, the Bachelor's Maria Georgas may just take the prize for sleuthing.
Speaking on the podcast, the reality star told host Alex Cooper about the time she caught out a cheating ex.
She revealed that the man she had been seeing had gone out of town for work but that she stayed at his place while he was away.
A few weeks previously she had noticed her boyfriend had given her a "weird feeling" after he went offline one night and then went "quiet for the next couple of days."
Maria decided to make the most of the high security in his building to find out what he had been up to that night.

She explained that she went to the front desk and told the doorman she had left her purse in the communal area outside her boyfriend's flat on the night in question.
The influencer recalled how "the poor front desk man" went through the footage at the times she gave him.
"So he’s showing me and all of a sudden, a f***ing b**** shows up to his door at 3am," Maria said.
However, she was only able to get a glimpse of the woman as the employee realised what she was up to and turned off the footage.

She decided to keep her mouth shut and waited for her boyfriend to come home.
Maria explained that her partner threw a party at his restaurant the following week.
She was waiting for the perfect time to confront him when she spotted the woman at a table.
When she asked who she was, her boyfriend said she was "just a friend".
Maria said she was "so over the fact that he’s bringing this girl around me".
She "laid out" all the details, including the time the woman showed up to his flat and the colour dress she was wearing.
After she broke up with her ex, Maria was invited on a night out by a friend from dance class.
Four red flags your partner is cheating
Private Investigator Aaron Bond from BondRees revealed four warning signs your partner might be cheating.
They start to take their phone everywhere with them
In close relationships, it's normal to know each other's passwords and use each other's phones, if their phone habits change then they may be hiding something.
says: "If your partner starts changing their passwords, starts taking their phone everywhere with them, even around the house or they become defensive when you ask to use their phone it could be a sign of them not being faithful."
"You should also look at how they place their phone down when not in use. If they face the phone with the screen facing down, then they could be hiding something."
They start telling you less about their day
When partners cheat they can start to avoid you, this could be down to them feeling guilty or because it makes it easier for them to lie to you.
"If you feel like your partner has suddenly begun to avoid you and they don't want to do things with you any more or they stop telling you about their day then this is another red flag."
"Partners often avoid their spouses or tell them less about their day because cheating can be tough, remembering all of your lies is impossible and it's an easy way to get caught out," says Aaron.
Their libido changes
Your partner's libido can change for a range of reasons so it may not be a sure sign of cheating but it can be a red flag according to Aaron.
Aaron says: "Cheaters often have less sex at home because they are cheating, but on occasions, they may also have more sex at home, this is because they feel guilty and use this increase in sex to hide their cheating. You may also find that your partner will start to introduce new things into your sex life that weren't there before."
They become negative towards you
Cheaters know that cheating is wrong and to them, it will feel good, this can cause tension and anxiety within themselves which they will need to justify.
"To get rid of the tension they feel inside they will try to convince themselves that you are the problem and they will become critical of you out of nowhere. Maybe you haven't walked the dog that day, put the dishes away or read a book to your children before bedtime. A small problem like this can now feel like a big deal and if you experience this your partner could be cheating," warns Aaron.
She soon realised this mystery woman would be there and decided to attend just to meet her.
However, she revealed that she instantly hit it off with the woman and didn't blame her for her involvement.
"This is actually psychotic but one night we were all out and I was a little drunk, and I think: ‘I need to see if this girl is a good kisser,'" she said.
Maria explained that she went on to snog the woman because she "wanted to see what the f*** she has that I don’t".
She said that she did it for her "own sanity" and because she felt like she "needed to do it".
Podcast listeners shared their thoughts on the story in the comments section.
One impressed TikTok user described Maria's actions as "absolutely brilliant".
