Three women who found out they unwittingly dated a man at the same time embarked on a road trip together this summer.
All after dumping him, of course.

Bekah King, 18, Abi Roberts, 19, and Morgan Tabor, 21, told the Washington Post that the unfortunate end to their relationship with the same cheating boyfriend blossomed into a beautiful friendship and a months-long road trip.
Roberts, a Salt Lake City resident, and King and Tabor, of Boise, Idaho, hit the road to explore the American west last month in a school bus that they purchased and rehabbed over two-and-a-half months. They are even documenting the journey on their new Instagram account, @the.bam.bus.
The trio first linked when Tabor, who was exclusive with her 20-year-old college student beau after dating on and off for a few years, noticed flirty comments on her then-boyfriend’s social media posts, as well as texts from several other women, in December.

When she worked backwards to look up one of the girl’s name on social media, she found photos of her partner.
“Almost all of the photos on this girl’s page showed her with this guy who I’d thought was my boyfriend,” she told the outlet.
Tabor got in contact with the woman — who Tabor said was also shocked by the discovery — and the two investigated further, eventually becoming acquainted with Roberts, a student at Utah State University.
The guy was busted when he told Roberts he was driving back to Boise from Utah to visit family, only to visit Tabor — who was FaceTiming with Roberts when he arrived.

“Watching his face drop when he saw who I was talking to on FaceTime was the most cinematic moment ever,” Tabor said.
The boyfriend briefly defended himself, saying there was nothing wrong with dating multiple women at the same time, but they weren’t having it.
After he left, they dug around some more and found at least six other women who he was dating, including King.
“Just two hours after he’d been confronted by Morgan and Abi and told them he was going to become a changed man, he was messaging me, asking to hang out,” King said.
The man, whose name was not specified, spoke to the outlet on the condition of anonymity.

“There are two sides to everything, but I think the best thing right now is to say nothing,” he told the outlet, before adding, “I really don’t want anything to do with them anymore.”
The three new friends are fine with that, as they’re not seeking to run his name through the mud, but focus on their positive, burgeoning connection and road trip, which began mid-June.
So far the girls have gone to Idaho’s Sawtooth Mountains, Jackson, Wyoming, and Grand Teton National Park, and Bozeman, Montana, with plans to end in California this fall.
“What this guy did to us doesn’t define our lives,” Roberts said. “We all feel really blessed that we found each other. We’re friends for life.”
