Why Did You Cheat? Two Exes Confront Each Other About Infidelity

Not open for further replies.

Rest

All these years later I still chuckle at what a fucking moron that guy is.
The beginning makes it sound like this was something ongoing, which made me wonder, if it was going on for a prolonged period of time, and she didn't like it, why did she stay? But then he asks that very question, and she says she doesn't know. Am I supposed to feel bad for her still at that point? Because I'd have a hard time doing so.

Seems like the dude got himself roped into a relationship he never wanted to be in to begin with and didn't have the balls to just end it.

Kinda fucked up how she was still smiling as they talked about meeting for the first time. Girl's got some self esteem issues for sure. I wouldn't be surprised if she jumped on the chance to continue the relationship if the dude was open to it. He should do her a favor and just cut her off completely.

Why do people stay in physically or psychologically abusive relationships?
 
Have some fucking self respect and cut the cheater off as soon as you know about it.

Keeping them around is pretty pathetic and needy imo. If you're in a committed relationship and they pull this, get rid. Find someone better.

Its crazy to me that people forgive it and keep the cheater around.

You hit the nail on the head. Girl seems to have really bad self esteem issues, like many people who stay with cheaters and come up with excuses for them.

Her unconditional love for the man won't probably ever dissipate despite the circumstances as is evident in the video.

Also, those aren't actors people, get a grip.

Easier said than done. In a lot of cases the person is so truly deeply in love with the cheating partner that the fear of losing them and being alone can be greater than the disrespect and emotional abuse of cheating. And when that happens you justify to yourself and continue to fall back on how the cheating partner USED to be and not the way they currently are. She probably could see his disinterest in the relationship but was completely unable to rationalize it for herself to the point that she just wasn't able to get the hint even as he was having sex with other women.

It's a messy job being a human being. Emotions are often nonsensical.

sad shit...

It's not sad. This woman deserves "best friends" who aren't asshole cheaters. He's quite honest that he's an asshole, she just can't deal with the fact that he's a bad guy. If someone did that to me as a partner and "best friend", I wouldn't even continue talking to them like they seem to be while still living in separate states. She deserves better people in her life.
 
Cheating on my girlfriend throughout the last two year is the main reason we're still together.
She's a great girl, great sense of humour and personality, but we don't see each other enough and when we do our sex life is pretty drab,

Sleeping with other women behind her back just came naturally to me.

Love is crazy drug. If only it was that simple.
 
Dude is just not into her as much as she was into him, he shouldn't have let her pursue a relationship, that's also on her, but he clearly isn't into her at the same level and let it drag on. That doesn't make him a sociopath, you can't force feelings.

Man she's beautiful and seems really kind. It always baffles me when people cheat on seemingly good people. I know we only get a filtered look and chemistry also playe a big role, but still.. I'm totally jealous.

It's not that easy to dump someone after you've sunk so much time into your relationship with them. And your mind starts trying to make up excuses and whatnot so you don't have to face the unknown of what happens when you do break it off and you start to weigh the worth of the relationship with the current pain that you're feeling. It's all really weird but a lot people can't just be like "well I'm done" and end it right there. I can because I'm pretty adamant about the "no cheating" thing but that's me.

I watched the whole thing.

All I can say is she needs some self-respect, the guy is clearly not remorse or cares about her. This goes for guys getting cheated as well, cut and move on to better things.

This. I feel bad for her but it also makes me mad that she has so little self respect for herself. I don't care how in love you are, just fucking wake up and move on.

This screams 'fake' but screw that guy if it's real.
Idk, the dude has made all his social media private supposedly due to all the hate messages he's recieving. The internet has even revealed where he works. If it was fake I think they wouldve came out by now.

There's a lot of contradictory stuff here. You say she's great but you don't seem to give a crap about her.

Hey all,


I notice Neogaf is extremely anti-cheaters. Chesters are almost as bad as Nazi here. However, the reality is a shockingly high majority of men will have extra-relational sexual encounters, if they can get it.

I think two things are happening here:

1 there are many younger people here and younger people do not cheat as much.

2. Many of the adult men here probably " doth protest too much" or however the saying goes.

3. Many of the men here simply do not have a real oppertunity to do it, so it's easier to be morally appalled by it.

4. We have very loyal, very pro-monogamous men here.


This is just something I've noticed about the posters on NeoGaf when it comes to cheating... I love this forum too Much!!

Thank you.

I spend as much time with her as I can, I provide for her the best I can, and I spoil her every chance I get.

That said, we're in a long distance relationship due to her being at university. We don't see each other as much as either of us would like to, often over a month goes by before we see each other. Then once we are together, we only have sex 2-3 times a week and it's always the same. There's no excitement in our sex lives anymore.

So I find excitement and fulfilling sex elsewhere.

I can't imagine cheating on someone you love.
How can you profess to love someone and do something that horrendous. It's horrible.

Does she do the same? If not, would you be okay with her doing the same?

Because if you feel justified in your cheating why not bring up an open relationship and give her the opportunity to decide for herself if she'd like such an arrangement and seek someone else if she doesn't.

As long as you're comfortable knowing that she's getting some decent dickings while at uni, and you guys both know about what each other do, then that's fine.

My ex had depression and started taking quite strong medication far into our relationship, which I think is what ultimately screwed her up enough to cheat on me, but she was super sweet and extremely shy when I first met her. Shit was messed up.

Yo dude you have the wrong end of the stick here:

1. GAF actually trends towards a higher age than most online (esp gaming) communities.

2. no people actually have strong morals.

3. I wouldn't do it if i was offered. heck i've refused propositions when i was single.

4. its not about Monogamy. its about being honest with your partner. if you want a poly relationship then you set down those terms so they have the opportunity to agree with it, its just not cool to build someone up to a monogamous relationship and then go behind their back.

is she ok with you sleeping with other women?
 
No one is trying to see the guys point of view?
What POV, that he's a massive pussy?

When he asked her about going through his messages "why wouldn't you just leave [instead]?" - So he wanted to break up but didn't have the balls to do it and wanted her to take responsibility? Fuck him and his cowardice.

Yeah hes a coward. Wanted to avoid confrontation and causing short term pain but instead caused much worse pain to someone they "loved" over a longer period of time. This is something that will potentially leave someone with trust issues, its much better jsut to be honest and open with people and say "i don't wanna be in a relationship with you anymore"
 
I don't know how I would deal with a situation like this. I'm not overly possessive of my wife, but at the same time she's the mother of my children and my best friend. The level of betrayal it would take for her to hide sleeping with other people would likely destroy me.

I like to think that if either of us got to a point like that we'd open our marriage up and experiment more sexually. And most importantly we'd talk about it way before anything was actually done.

I'm not trying to brag but it's never been hard for me to meet women, and I have no thoughts on cheating on my wife at all. 34 years old. Sounds more like you are projecting.

She isn't getting dick elsewhere, and she doesn't know what I've done behind her back.
She's seen messages on my phone from another girl in the past and I lied through my teeth to get out of her suspicion. I'm not proud of that, but it is what it is.

Does she do the same? If not, would you be okay with her doing the same?

Because if you feel justified in your cheating why not bring up an open relationship and give her the opportunity to decide for herself if she'd like such an arrangement and seek someone else if she doesn't.

Nope and nope.

I recognise that makes me a hypocrite, but in all honesty, if I found out she slept with another man then I would leave her.

I'm not projecting. I have an open relationship in order to deal with the long distance we have to face.

I'm just trying to shed light in the contradictions of society. Statistically most men cheat (does anyone have good research on this? ) yet out in the open most men will claim to be completely against cheating.

If men (and woman) were more honest with what we really want, open relationships may become more accepted. Also, the stranglehold of religiously mandated monogamy may decrease. This could result in a more honest society and less broken hearts.
