This Woman Is Going Viral For Assuming She Caught Her Husband Cheating By A 120 LB Weigh-In On Their Smart Scale While She Wasn't There

Listen, I saw this tweet like 14 hours ago and it was numbies city, but the person deleted it off X, the everything app, because they didn't like all the men in the replies. So I did my journalistic integrity and found the original post, which is going even more viral. Anyway, here's some of the context for those who are confused by technology:

This has been messing with my head, and I need some honest, outside opinions.

We have another home that my husband has been staying in recently bc we’re in the process of separating due to infidelity. I checked the digital scale’s memory out of curiosity and it showed two “unassigned” weigh-ins at exactly 120 lbs, logged at 12:25 a.m. and 12:26 a.m. back-to-back. For context, I do not weigh 120 lbs, and I was not there on that date, just my husband.

Needless to say, I’m shaken. I’m in the middle of a separation from my husband due to past cheating. He has been staying at the condo. And while I didn’t want to jump to conclusions, this feels like more than just a glitch. I didn’t say anything to him bc in the past never taken accountability to the infidelities I’ve found. I also want to protect my peace and not jump to conclusions. But deep down, I can’t shake the feeling that someone was there. The scale doesn’t randomly store numbers and he for weigh 120 lbs. It only logs a reading when someone physically steps on it.

So here’s what I’m asking Reddit: What would YOU conclude? Can a digital scale do something like this on its own? Or is this a clear sign that someone else was in my home when I wasn’t supposed to have company?

I’m trying to stay strong, but this is eating away at me.

This is an absolutely brutal beat for this guy. Already in the process of separating due to infidelity, so my uneducated relationship therapist guess would be that he said fuck it and had a woman over who decided to use his electronic scale. Or this is a 2025 version of a "Hey girl, I know you don't know me but" DM and the woman knew the scale was probably linked to his wife's phone and gave her a smoke signal. That type of genius couldn't be taught in a textbook.

Talk about Doakes level detective work from that woman because I'm probably confident in saying that this is the only time in human history that someone's been caught cheating from a smart scale. I didn't even know smart scales existed (insert yeah you're a typical fat AI Barstool blogger of course you don't know what a scale is comment below) until writing this blog honestly. 

The Reddit comments added a bit of clarity, with everyone saying this is an Occam's Razor situation going on. And to make matters worse, she clarified the scale is in the corner of their bedroom. There's a full on therapy session there, where as on X it's just a bunch of people like me who didn't even knew this existed, and wanting answers for if this fella weighs himself after he poops often. I'd probably divorce the person too if they took a 46 minute poop on 6/13 and weighed themselves after because no one person should be spending that much time on the toilet unless you're obsessed with doomscrolling. 

Anyway, there's a lesson to be learned here for everybody. If you're a person who is hellbent on cheating, then be sure you don't have a smart scale in the corner. If you're a person who suspects your partner is cheating, well, get a smart scale that you disguise as a way to help your health kick and put it in the corner of your bedroom and not in the bathroom like a normal person. Good luck out there.
