AITA for leaving my boyfriend after finding a woman in our bed?
The person writing this, a 26-year-old female, was preparing for a trip to London with her sister and had stayed at her sister's place near the airport the night before departure.
She realized she had forgotten her pa*sport at her shared apartment with her 27-year-old boyfriend. She returned to the apartment to retrieve the document, having texted her boyfriend about her quick visit, but he did not respond.
Upon entering the bedroom, she discovered an unknown woman in their bed. She immediately took her pa*sport, told her boyfriend they were finished, and left.
Now, dealing with a highly stressful situation right before international travel, she is uncertain if she acted too quickly.

The original poster (OP) is left feeling hurt and confused after discovering her boyfriend's friend in their marital bed without prior notice, leading her to abruptly end the relationship based on her intuition.
The central conflict lies between the OP's strong feeling that the situation was a betrayal or a significant breach of trust, and the boyfriend's claim that the woman was a platonic, lesbian friend needing emergency accommodation.
