My boyfriend thinks I cheated because I “changed my moan”

r/

Okay, I (26f) cannot believe I’m writing this.

Last night, my boyfriend (28m) and I were getting very into it. Everything’s going great until we hit that point where I’m, you know… loud. He stops mid-thrust and literally says:
“Who taught you that one?”

I thought he was joking, so I laughed.
He wasn’t.
He got off me and said I’ve never made that sound before and “that kind of moan doesn’t just come out of nowhere.”

I was stunned. I told him maybe I was more relaxed, or maybe it was the tequila, or maybe he was just doing a better job for once.

He said:
“No. That was a trained sound. That was a practiced moan. I know the difference.”

Like he’s some kind of sex vocal coach?

We argued for TWO HOURS because he convinced himself I was imitating someone I’d been sleeping with. I haven’t cheated. Not once. I haven’t even flirted. I’ve literally been constipated for a week, I’m not out here giving pornstar performances.

He’s still upset and said he “needs time to think about what this means for our relationship.”

So… hot take?
If your man thinks your orgasm is a sign of infidelity, maybe he’s not equipped for one in the first place.

    Could he be cheating? Since he’s such an expert on female moans?

    Holy shit girl please please please leave this man. That is SCREAMING insecurity and you deserve better than a guy who thinks you’re cheating because your moan sounds different

    Your last sentence basically sums it up. Your bf is not equipped for a mature relationship.

  9. norismomma Avatar

    Yikes. He’s either cheating himself or he’s got some deep-seated insecurity. Either way be cautious how you proceed.

    My ex was like this. Your boyfriend is not dumb. He knows that you didn’t do anything wrong. He just wants you to be on the defence. It’s called “back-footing.”

    My ex would make up ridiculous accusations. He accused me of cheating because I fell asleep wearing noise cancelling headphones. He also accused me of cheating because our bed had an indent in the mattress. All of it was nonsense. It was about control and making me feel like I had to constantly prove I was committed. I stayed 5 years. Please don’t be me.

  11. WinCompetitive2268 Avatar

    I don’t feel like it’s normal for someone to outwardly accuse you of cheating all because of a different sound you made? I think he’s been was having suspicions for a while and one small thing like that sent him over the edge.
    Had he made any other comments in the past about you possibly cheating?
    Idk if you’re not even cheating and he gets intimidated by your moan, sounds like an insecure man.

    Immediate first thoughts are that he’s cheating himself, or he wants to exit the relationship but feels like he needs a reason so he’s starting a fight to justify it

    I recently dealt with a guy that accused me of shit like this. benign, innocent actions I thought nothing of brought suspicion and accusations. it won’t stop and being ambushed into defending yourself is exhausting.

  18. Fun-Badger1484 Avatar

    Paranoid. Insecure. Jealous. Controlling. Sorry girl, this is break up territory… I dealt with wacko shit like this from a guy for over 3 years and it never went away. Sometimes he’d hide it better but it got craaaazy. Like at the end, his car got broken into like 20 minutes after we got into a fight on the phone. He accused me of getting a another man to break into it and he threatened my life! End it before you get that deep.

    Dump. His. Ass.

    This behaviour is concerning, the fact he argued with you about it for 2 hours. He’s created a completely fabricated story in his head over a moan, its just weird!

    He could be projecting, he could be crazy, either way, you should get as far away as you possibly can OP 💖

  21. Wanderlustwednesday Avatar

    He is either cheating or looking for a reason to break up and blame you. Or both.

    I was once in a relationship were I was constantly accused of cheating. Anything could set him off. And I was like you, I’d argue for hours about my innocence. I finally broke free and I’ve never been happier. Don’t do this to yourself for 10 years. Don’t do it for 2 hours. You know you didn’t do anything wrong. Leave and don’t look back.

    Yeah projection or the fact that he is definitely cheating. I would appreciate some new moans so I think honestly he is some type of weirdo I assume and that’s not just my opinion. Either way I would hit the road and hopefully you’re able to Good luck.

    You are in an abusive relationship. Your boyfriend is currently controlling and jealous. You should get out before he escalates to physical violence.

    Also, cheaters tend to accuse their romantic partners of cheating.

    He is trying to give himself a reason to get out of the relationship, leave him, he is trying to make you the villain so he has a story to tell on why he dumped you. Get out!!!

    I dated an older man for over 4 years. I was beneath him. I do not lay still. My hands are constantly roaming. I Moaned and he just completely stopped. Then he said in a patronizing tone, “Hun? Aren’t you overdoing it a little bit?”

    I just completely went still. Looking up at him in shock. Then I pushed at his chest and told him to get off. He reacted physically in shock. And said, “Over just one comment?”

    Like, how did he NOT know that you tell a woman who is showing enjoyment that she is basically being overly dramatic? Nah. That REALLY ruined my libido.

  36. loricomments Avatar

    He accused you of cheating, take that seriously because he’s either already a cheater or is on the brink. Those kind of ridiculous accusations only come out of a guilty mind.

  42. ThatsSoRandomPodcast Avatar

    “Doing a better job for once” is a very telling bit.

    The correct response in this situation isn’t “Where’d you learn that?”, it’s “Whoa, what did I just do different so I can do it again and from now on!”

  43. Enf235 Avatar

    I wouldn’t even dream to entertain that conversation to begin with. You don’t like it, just go. Btw, he may very well be cheating himself and probably the other woman made those noises and he felt like you were trying to trap him. Just let him go

  48. rayslayer72 Avatar

    Bullshit. I call complete bullshit, and he most definitely is projecting some type of guilt onto you. As a man myself, absolutely nobody would come to such conclusion unless THEY cheated. Projection and bullshit.

    It’s been said- he’s cheating on you and it’s been happening for a minute because the deception is starting to leak out in the form of projection.

    Well good news: He won’t get to hear it anymore for projecting that he’s a giant cheater and is looking to switch the blame.

    Don’t accept that. It is abuse and will lead up to violence.

  54. astrid28 Avatar

    If he’s not already cheating and projecting, he’s wildly insecure, immature, and an idiot. All good reasons to find a grown ass adult with an iq larger than his shoe size to date over this weirdness…. that won’t be the last weirdness. Change your hair, who’s that for? Change your makeup, who’s that for? New outfit… who’s it for? Most things are worth talking through… but you tried that… and he doubled and trippled down. This is who he is. Is this the life you want to live? Constantly defending nothing to his weird ass? How stupid does he have to be to think a ‘new moan’ means you had sex with someone else? That’s not how any of it works. Best case scenario, he’s an idiot who’s gonna spend his life upset over things that aren’t actually a thing. More likely, he’s an idiot who’s cheating and thinks he has a solid angle to argue from… he doesn’t. Again, he’s making himself look sus or stupid.

    Life’s short. Don’t spend it having stupid fights.

  55. Proper-Beautiful-433 Avatar

    Sooo he probably cheated. Sorry OP that you had to even go through something so ridiculous like that. Also “doing good job for once” 😂

  56. BestConfidence1560 Avatar

    Yeah, this is so out of nowhere. I’m going to say he’s projecting his own infidelity and cheating on you.

    And apparently he’s not very intelligent, inventive or creative since he picked the absolute stupidest possible way to accuse you of infidelity, based on your moan???

  57. littlescreechyowl Avatar

    If I was sure enough that someone cheated, I certainly wouldn’t stand around and argue with them for hours.

    RUN!! This is a huge red flag, I promise you things will not get better in the relationship from here on out, only worse. This is a big sign he is immature and doesn’t trust you for whatever reason. Classical douche bag vibe. Get out now before you get too deep. The deeper you go the harder it is to leave. I know from experience.

    Jfc. I had one do something similar. Said I was the loudest I’d ever been and somehow equated it to me thinking about my ex as in my daughters father who I haven’t been with in 18 YEARS.

    Funnily enough there was also tequila involved.

    But yeah bizarre af and the only thing I can think of is anytime someone irrationally accuses it’s generally a projection.

    The beautiful thing about being in your 20s like that is that you have all the options in the world still. You don’t have to tolerate anything. There is absolutely no reason to hang on to a guy accusing you of cheating. Toss him aside, there’s better out there and they ain’t even hard to get.

    Ex-bf, yes?

  83. FullBlownPanic Avatar

    Whenever you see something like this, where the partner is behaving way of character, being super irrational and jumps several sharks to land on infidelity —- it’s because they are cheating.

    If it’s not out of character it can be insecurity instead of (or as well as) cheating.

    But I bet you cash money your boyfriend is having sex with someone else.

    OP, you were 100% wrong to argue with him. Instead you should have agreed with him, smiled your ass off and walked TF out of his life forever!

    DO NOT stay with him. He is cheating on you. If he knows “moans” like that, he’s either watching too much porn or seeing a hooker!

    STOP arguing with dickheads!

    Here’s my take on our relationship.. WE’RE DONE! He wouldn’t see that one coming! 😂

    Once he accuses you of cheating there’s no turning back. The trust is broken. He’s probably projecting and he’s the one doing the cheating. Or he’s trying to find an excuse to break up with you and playing the victim. This the beginning of the end. It’s up to you how long you’re willing to put up with his bullshit. Plan your exit and stay safe🤗

    My ex was like this. Once he accused me of saying another (specific) man’s name during sex. I was utterly bewildered. Not only was I not remotely attracted to said man, I found him repulsive. We went round and round on this. In his mind, his suspicions were facts.

    Turns out–big shock!–while I was 100% faithful, he was not. Projection, much?

    I stayed eleven years and three kids. Oy. Don’t be me.

    Can we stop saying shit like “youre doing a better job for once” sex is a thing where two people get involved. Its not his job to fuck you better.

    Other then that, its a really odd reaction to think your moan is trained.
