160+ Cheating Captions for Betrayal, Revenge & Moving On

So… they cheated, huh? Yeah, that sucks. Whether you’re in the rage-texting, unfollowing, blocking-with-extreme-prejudice phase or you’re strutting into your glow-up era—you need the perfect caption to match that energy.

Let’s be real—sometimes a spicy caption speaks louder than a long, emotional post. Petty? Maybe. Powerful? Absolutely. From savage one-liners to I’m-over-it-and-thriving vibes, this list has something for every post-breakup mood swing.

I’ve seen my fair share of messy breakups, ghosting experts, and “it was just a mistake” masterpieces. And honestly? Nothing hits harder than a well-timed caption that screams, “I saw through your lies—and now I look hotter.”

Ever posted something and wished it hit harder? Like, you wanted your ex and their cousin and their dog to feel it? Yeah, same. That’s exactly why I pulled together this bold, brutal, and beautifully petty collection.

Whether you’re in your revenge era, your “thank u, next” chapter, or just here to throw subtle shade in style—I’ve got you.
