THE betrayal of a cheating partner can be a lot to deal with but for one woman, that was only the beginning of her troubles.
She revealed how her ex-husband’s infidelity left her pinching pennies and living out of her car.

Speaking on the We’re All Insane podcast, Jenni recounted how the breakdown of her marriage led to her becoming homeless.
She explained that she confronted her ex-husband over his affair in a public car park.
However, the situation quickly escalated and according to Jenni, resulted in her ex “running over” her foot.
She revealed that her husband’s infidelity wasn’t the worst part of the situation.
After they began divorce proceedings, the couple sold their house and went their separate ways.
But Jenni explained that the money she received from the sale wasn’t enough to support her.
“I couldn’t with my income, there was absolutely no way I could afford a place on my own,” she said.
“Some money from selling our house is not enough for me to be paying thousands just to live by myself.”
She added that the depression she found herself in prevented her from getting a job.
“I was literally not even capable of waking up at a decent time during the day,” she recalled.
Jenni said that he had left her “abandoned” to the point where she had to live out of her car.
She described how living out of a car “was something I always thought was cool and fun.”
“I see people living in their cars and I’ve always wanted to do it but I thought I’d be doing it with a partner or because of a good situation,” she explained.
However, Jenni said that she ended up doing it to save money and eventually even cashed in with car life content.
She also revealed how it ended up helping her mental health, forcing her to get up early in the morning to move her car or find a public bathroom.
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.
Aaron 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.
Since then, Jenni has met a new partner and stopped living out of her car over safety concerns.
Podcast listeners shared their thoughts on her experience in the comments section.
“This is so triggering, I honestly feel horrible for Jen. I’m sorry she went through that. That sounds so traumatizing,” wrote one commenter.
“Oh hell no. Ladies, this is why you don’t rely on no man for finances. BE INDEPENDENT FINANCIALLY,” said another YouTube user.
“Just commenting to say thank you for being so vulnerable and sharing all of this. Sending you love,” commented a third person.
