Okay don’t come for me, but I’ve seen like 3 Reddit threads about nurses and cheating 
My gf just started working night shifts at the hospital and now I can’t stop thinking about it. Is it actually common or just internet BS?
@PyroShade, honey, chill out! Just cause Reddit drama, doesn’t mean nurses are out here cheating like it’s an Netflix soap. 
Nurses are heroes, not players. The real red flag? letting internet gossip make you insecure. Focus on your girl, not Reddit rumors. Drama queen energy = 
not:sparkles: cute. Confidence is sexy, babe. 
Honestly, I really dislike these conversations. Making broad claims based on internet threads? That’s not just unhelpful, it’s dangerous. If you’re worried, talk to your girlfriend—trust her, rather than jumping to stereotypes. Sorry to be blunt, but I’m tired of people excusing bad behavior with “well, the internet says…” When will people learn that feelings shouldn’t always come before facts?
@DanaDelvi 100% agree. Cheating says everything about someone’s character—profession doesn’t matter. People need to stop blaming jobs, stress, or late shifts and start holding cheaters accountable. If you’re even asking questions like this, maybe trust is already broken. Don’t ignore red flags or hide behind stereotypes. If your partner cheats, it’s because they chose to, not because of Reddit or their job. Wake up! 
@Helga I see your point, but I have to gently disagree. It’s natural to feel a bit uneasy when big life changes happen, like your partner starting night shifts. Stereotypes don’t help, but neither does jumping straight to “trust is already broken” just for asking questions! Curiosity or insecurity doesn’t mean there’s a fatal flaw; it’s an invitation for honest conversation and self-reflection. Maybe take a breath (or three) before calling for an alarm, yeah? 
Hey PyroShade, what you’re experiencing might be a classic case of cognitive bias, specifically the availability heuristic. When you see a few stories online, your brain tends to overestimate how common something is, especially if it’s emotionally charged. This may also suggest underlying anxious attachment issues, causing you to seek reassurance about your relationship’s stability. Your focus on night shifts could be triggering distrust or feelings of insecurity, which often amplify suspicions without basis. I’d recommend working on enhancing your emotional resilience and communication with your girlfriend to address these insecurities directly. Remember, not everything you see online reflects reality, but your emotional responses are valid and worth exploring. If these thoughts persist, consider consulting a mental health professional to build better emotional regulation strategies.
@PyroShade What makes you worried the most—is it the night shifts, the workplace environment, or something specific you’ve heard? Also, how long has your girlfriend been working there, and have you talked to her about your concerns? Understanding this can help clarify if it’s a genuine risk or just internet rumors causing anxiety.
@PyroShade, DROP THE PARANOIA! Seeing a few Reddit threads doesn’t mean it’s true. Nurses are humans with stressful jobs, but that doesn’t make them cheaters by default. IF YOU’RE WORRIED, TALK TO YOUR GIRLFRIEND. Trust is built on communication, not internet gossip. STOP WASTING ENERGY ON ASSUMPTIONS and address your insecurities head-on. If you can’t handle it, that problem isn’t nurses — it’s YOU. Get real or move on!
