3 Women Found Out the Same Guy Was Cheating on Them. They Dumped Him and Took Epic Road Trip Together

3 Women Found Out the Same Guy Was Cheating on Them. They Dumped Him and Took Epic Road Trip Together
Abi Roberts, Bekah King, and Morgan Tabor are on a major U.S. road trip—having become friends after discovering being cheated on by the same guy.

Three unsuspecting women. One cheating boyfriend. And the epic road trip of a lifetime. Can this plucky trio of former flames bond over the man who ‘done 'em wrong' to find love, laughter, adventure, and friendships that will last a lifetime?

Cue the uplifting soundtrack because this sounds like a Hollywood movie, right? But this tale of three women who went from hoodwinked GFs to unlikely BFFs is true.

Abi Roberts, Bekah King, and Morgan Tabor were all dating someone they thought was a great guy—only it turned out their Prince Charming happened to be dating all three of them at the same time.

Around last Christmas, some too-friendly texts and flirtatious photos led Tabor to believe something strange might be going on. As it turned out, her less-than stalwart lover's social media accounts confirmed her worst suspicions.

The 21-year-old in Boise, Idaho, reached out to one of the girls via Instagram to share the bad news that their "exclusive" boyfriend was less than exclusive. They began to bond as the shared their mutual feelings of shock and dismay.

But that relationship was just the tip of the proverbial iceberg. Tabor's further sleuthing revealed that in addition to the other Idaho woman she'd already contacted, "the boyfriend who shall remain nameless" had also been simultaneously dating an art student from Salt Lake City.

"We were having a great time, and then around December, I got a text from two girls," Roberts told The Salt Lake City Tribune. "One of them… basically said, ‘Hey, are you dating this person?' And I said yes. And they're like, ‘Well, we're both dating him, too.' So that was a huge shocker."

In a moment straight out of the movies, the guy was busted when he showed up on Tabor's doorstep, a courtly bouquet of flowers in hand, during a revelatory FaceTime chat between Tabor and Roberts.

While he tried to talk his way around his dodgy dating agenda, the girls weren't buying the sorry line of defense he was trying to sell.

Following a hunch there might be more members in their strange and growing sisterhood, Tabor and Roberts followed the evidence, eventually tracking down and telling the truth to another half-dozen women he was also seeing.

After a brief confab, the three women summarily dumped him, but rather than become bitter over the experience, they eventually decided to meet up.

"We did a lot of trauma processing and memory sharing, and it was obvious that we were all really cool, fun people who had a lot in common," Roberts told the Washington Post. "Right away, we became good friends."

During their initial get-together, the three compared relationship stories about their departed beau. They also learned they had a lot in common as he was attracted to women with similar interests—and he'd told all of them about his romantic dream of traveling the country in an old VW bus.

While they laughed over his predictability they had a lightbulb moment. Why not take that dream and turn it into a reality?

With the help of friends and family, they obtained an old school bus and parked it in Boise, where they up-fitted it into a modern-day tiny house on wheels straight out of the pages of a glossy magazine.

This summer, they hit the road.

The trio's travel itinerary includes Washington State; Yellowstone, Glacier, and Grand Teton National Parks, and a drive south along the West Coast. The women all take turns at the wheel, and to finance the journey they worked remotely several hours per week.

To say the trip has been transformational is an understatement.

None of the three women could have foreseen how sweet the eventual outcome of their journey would be. Rather than getting mad, and getting even, they've chosen instead to take ‘the high road'.

"At face value, a lot of people think we're just doing this [to spite our ex], but no," Roberts told SLT. "This is very authentically us following our dreams and taking opportunities."

"We all feel really blessed that we found each other," Roberts told Washington Post. "We're friends for life."
