It hurts so much when someone cheats on you within a relationship and they act like nothing is going on and it's all in your imagination. I think staying single is less stress!! I don't think I will ever trust anyone ever again.
Yeah it hurts especially if they completely deny the cheating just because it wasn’t physical. Pursuing/flirting/validating/seeking attention/emotionally supporting another person on a daily consistent basis while being in a committed relationship with another is considered CHEATING. You are not respecting your partner.
I'm sorry but I have to tell you to grow up. This is life, ppl are not responsible for how we feel. You are responsible for how you feel. I used to judge ppl who cheated until I myself made the same mistake I never thought I would. Now I know both sides. Trust me, being the one who did the wrong is the worst nightmare. I spent 7 years depressed and guilty, no self esteem at all. I would give everything to be on the other side, I would rather be cheated than to cheat. In the end we're just ppl acting according to our NATURE. No one is the victim or the perpetrator. The ONLY way to stop suffering is to get knowledge and mature. It is easy to judge ppl until you are the one who makes a mistake. I wish everybody would make that mistake so they would understand what happens to the other side.
@@Unconditional---love I disagree a bit with you. I didn't deserve to be cheated on and it was bad behaviour. I told my BF in month 3, that if he wanted to play the field, as I was suspecting he was, then please let me go. I know he was lying from early on. The dishonesty that's what hurts. I am done with trusting men and I am happier alone. I have no desire to go back into any more relationships.
@@newworldlove7031 Your decision on whether or not you should continue seeking a relationship should not be because you were cheated on. Instead realize that the person who cheated on you isn't worth your time, move on and find different people.
@@newworldlove7031 The fact that he cheated speaks volumes about him and means nothing about you. When someone cheats, that's a reflection of their internal world. He doesn't love and respect himself, so he's not ready to provide any real love to anybody. However, its really important for you to think about what role you play in your relationships as well. 99% Of the time, we play a role in the chaos and its SO important to take accountability for that so that you can learn. What role did you play in the chaos of your relationship? What happened within yourself that your intuition told you that your bf was cheating but you chose to ignore it? Do you trust yourself and your judgement? Do you often play the victim in situations in your life? Does being a victim mean you are always the one who is right and others in your life are always wrong? How does it feel for you to be wrong? What does it mean about yourself if you are wrong? I used to always be the victim in every single relationship/situation/etc. My partners were always "evil" "manipulative" etc etc the list goes on. I started looking deeper into what role I played in the disfunction and why being the "innocent" or "good partner" was so important to me. To me, being wrong meant that I'm not perfect, and my relationship with perfection has always been a tough one for me. When I started looking within, I became more *accountable* for my own actions and stopped trying to blame others for hurting me, only realizing I was in a way hurting myself with my lack of boundaries, invisibility and not caring to get to know myself more.
infidelity is always a possibility there is no guarantee depending upon the person it is just a lot less likely but never impossible it is not a question of stabbing someone in the back you translate someone else's actions upon how that may affect you emotionally , men and women do this because of how they feel towards the other person it is not necessarily about how you feel or how they feel about you
My husband cheated on me and i was devastated. He was my everything and he tried to make it up to me and the kids. But slowly everything he did disgusted me, i realised that i was never important to him, he never loved me. I loved him and could have never hurt him. Id say its not worth it to stick around.
1. infidelity does not mean that you do not love your main partner any more or any less although that may be the case 2. people's expectation of absolute fidelity is far too high an expectation in the long term although striving towards that is not a bad thing 3. there is no guarantee 4. with temptation just around the corner it may be difficult to remain faithful 5. without empathy it is not likely for your partner to be open and honest , especially if you have a zero tolerance attitude that's why a lot of marriages and relationships fail especially because most of them are built upon the idea of monogamy , " It hurts so much when someone cheats on you within a relationship and they act like nothing is going on and it's all in your imagination. I think staying single is less stress!! I don't think I will ever trust anyone ever again." sounds like a bit of a drama queen , depending on the person it may well be very very unlikely but not impossible
for a lot of men , sex is just sex , a enjoyable way to pass your time , I personally cannot relate to that even though I am a man but I know everyone is different , some men they like and feel attracted to another woman she pretty and they just want to """"" her, not nothing but certainly not the end of the world, people men and women don't do it to hurt the other person , that's why they lie well, one of the reasons , the question is: is it a moment with one particular person they like and felt attracted to or a personality trait ? women tend to think emotionally men tend NOT to , for men sex and love are two very diffrent things
@@Luckyrider1958 NO, 1. people and societies in the world have been predominantly polyamarous monogamy is a new concept 2. you can love two people at the same time just in a different way think of ex husbands or ex wifes 3. people in an open relationship or polyamarous people are cheating with permission you could say , are they incapable of real love , no I say 4. you are making a judmental analysis on romantic idealism humans are not perfect and are complex as are feelings 5. your judgemental analysis is THE reason why people keep secrets and are dishonest so if someone is dishonest with you and you are judgmental then their dishonesty to a large degree is of your own making 6. men and women can be sl*ts or womanizers , sex is sex and love is love they are two very different things so your judgemental analysis is based on romantic idealism and that means that you do not really accept or love the person that cheated on you
@@zeearif7381 with time. its been 4 years since i found out, 1 since my divorce. My situation included someone who constantly gaslit during the reconciliation, refused to not blame me for her choices, and was consistently complaining to people about how I don't care about her enough (none of those people knowing what she did). If you partner or spouse is doing this, do not stay. leave. Healing will come, but you can't heal with someone who doesn't care about you to that extent. take walks, get fit, learn a new skill. Take all your inadequacies and ask yourself if they are true or not. Be honest about it with yourself. If you're overweight, accept it and fix it. If you have a weakness that bothers you, work on it and be diligent. You have to create a new life for yourself, its hard and it takes work. It is doable though.
my wfie cheated for 7 years and when confronted.. she said he is no one and just a good friend. I asked 100 of times and she made me cried, degraded me level with all mean words and finally when I caught she stopped shouting. Now she is like foret this topic.. there is nothing wrong. We are not talking any more and worst part is that she is in another country. #communication gap and height of ignorance.
In order to move on and trust again you must put all that pain and hurt, the act of the affair, all of it... put it behind a door and lock it then toss the key. Dont talk about it again. If you leep the affair in your mind, think about now and again, wonder what the person is doing if they are late from work or dont respond immediately to calls and texts, you will be consumed with the fear and pain of being cheated on again. Forgiveness is not easy Forgiveness does not mean you will stay together Forgiveness is not a crutch Forgiveness is tough
I've tried this after my Mrs cheated on me. She to this day has never admitted it. It is obvious it happened. Story changes every time etc and just simply know it happened. 99%of the time I forget it. 1% of the time it kills me (usually after an argument) Me being stupid stayed with her. That 99% of our relationship is amazing so it's hard to leave her over that 1% but it's that 1% that breaks me.
@@ws8668 If 99% is great then the 1% could be bearable. Thats how I would weigh it out. Hell, My relationship isn't 99% great all the time! 🤣 Just think, people that are unhappy 99% of the time and only happy 1% of the time stay together forever.
no way id stay with someone of things aint 100%. i would NOT tolerate 1% of anyone's bs cos if she really wanted ya she would be all in 100%. the fact someone would cheat shows they arent bothered about you or the concequwnces and that its an acceptable loss to get someone else.
@@ws8668mental gymnastics bro. She broke the promises and vows you took on your wedding day. She destroyed the marital covenant by defiling your marriage bed. She consciously and with malice, made hundreds of decisions to lie, abuse, and disrespect you. She chose to trade body fluids with another person outside your marriage, and come home and kiss you with that same mouth. Where is the 99%? The truth is that 1% of a metric tonne of shit, is a whole lot of shit! You are afraid of being alone, and you may have kids. Many of us feel that same pressure, but if you stay, everyone dies from this poisonous thing that you call reconciliation with a cheater. You can't save anyone or anything until you save yourself from your abuser. Seeking comfort from her is simply pathological.
Never ever deal with a cheater again, just walk away, there tons of billions people on this beautiful planet earth, someone out there waiting a matter of time.
My caught my gf cheating. She apologized and felt terrible about it. I tried to forgive her for two months before we spilt finally. I can’t speak for her, but It was mentally draining me and was always anxious who she was on the phone with. It’s not worth it in my opinion, just walk away. It’s painful but the pain will get less, and less.
I understand….I am 71; my husband is 76. Found out in December, he has been in an affair with a woman 15 years younger than him for 15 months. His health is fragile; I am a retired nurse….have been through SO much with/for him, including a lung transplant, in the past 6 years. This GUTTED me, in ways not too many people can understand. YET, I was advised, by an attorney, to “stick it out”. Because, everything “we” have….all in a Trust, will be taken from me. Sixteen years, 7 of those being his “nurse”, will mean NOTHING in a California court. I could VERY possibly, be left with NOTHING!!……What choice do I have, but to TRY to forgive him, and move “forward”??!!!……NOT for the weak….I promise you!!! 🥺💔

I’m so saddened by your discovery and know the feeling of that gut punch. Please surround yourself with supportive people and keep looking forward.
If cheating is a choice like you say. Then why do so many treat Chester's like it's the only choice? When they cheat it's like they never loved the one they were with first. I know a lot girls always say "you gave me no choice, but to cheat. So it's you're fault. You're mistake." I never made the mistake of cheating. When the choice arrived. I declined every time. The mistake and choice seems true on both sides.
Do you want to teach your kids that they should stay with cheaters, lyers, abusers, dishonest people? Don't they deserve to see that good faithful people exist?
@@pist251 your kids don’t have to know. Also, if they do know and they see that a orient can change for the better, that may mean more to them than anything. You must not have kids. Things change when you create life with someone

I don't ever think I could ever trust again after being betrayed like that. Infidelity is a dealbreaker for me. I would never look at him the same way again.
I have a 0 tolerance policy for cheating. I talked to her but she had to know that it was it. I walk away for good. It's not worth it in the long run. Sometimes cheating results in the fault of both. I worked on my mistakes that allowed me to be cheated on and better for it.
THE TRUTH ABOUT DISHONESTY IN A RELATIONSHIP : A relationship expert says this : Dishonesty is often a sign of a deeper problem in the relationship. “If someone can’t be honest, it’s because they’re frightened of telling the truth,” says Norris. “It’s very easy to lay the blame at the feet of the one who’s being dishonest, but YOU SHOULD LOOK AT WHY THIS PERSON CAN'T BE HONEST WITH YOU !!! If I engage in infidelity, it couldn't be helped! Forces beyond my control...! But if you engage in infidelity, there is something fundamentally bad about you. An experts opinion : A man is by nature polygamous , monogamy and fidelity are unnatural situations propagated by religious beliefs and social pressures A man is visual and logical in nature for him it’s just a physical release that’s got nothing to do with love (thats why monogamy and fidelity creates so many problems because it is unnatural ) another expert's opinion : The probability of cheating in monogamy is high. Most of the times the relationship becomes a lie and lose it's complete meaning, because of the imposed restrictions and limitations. Procreation is such a strong biological drive that only few people can resist the temptation to cheat even most women People cheat on who they love all the time. Monogamy is just not a natural thing. Even if you are faithful you still have to fight the urge to cheat. We’d do better as a culture if we could exercise a little more tolerance, acceptance and honest discussions around sex, desire and marriage, and try to be less rigid in our idealistic views of monogamy. a survey has revealed that 74% of men and 68% of women would have sex with someone else if it were guaranteed that their spouse would not find out !!! Whatever you opinion is about this : this means : your friends, your family, your brother, your sister, your cousin, your sister in law or your neighbour etc. That’s not just considering it they would actually be unfaithful !!! Its not just considering it they would actually do it The same people who judge and condemn others for their infidelity and this means that people are either faithful out of fear of potential discovery and the consequences thereof or are unfaithful listen to youtube clip : women hate to hearing the hard truth
“Monogamy is just not a natural thing” is complete bullshit. Monogamy has been the preferred mating arrangement among humans for the past 3 million to 7 million years. Ya know, back before religions and churches and husbands and wives existed. It is not difficult to fight the urge to cheat. I have a fairly high body count for my age with most originating while being single. Throughout my four long term relationships I’ve entered into however, not once did I have to fight the urge to cheat. In fact I don’t even remember cheating being an option, even when the opportunity to do so presented itself so blatantly. Apparently, I’m not a self absorbed person. Geez….
Remaining with the person who hurt you and cheated on you is not easy. But also for the wayward spouse remaining with the person you hurt and see their pain YOU caused is not easy. It is a long and painful road to recovery and I understand it is not for everybody. It is a possibility for those who really want to give each other a chance. It did work for us.🥰
Cheating is another form of disrespect towards your partner . They don’t know what it does to the person who is being cheated to the emotion and self value , you starts questioning yourself worth . I say once a cheater is always a cheater period ! You better off alone than be with someone who cheats.. no trust no foundation relationship is going to fail 💯💯
we as humans are capable of more feelings than just lust or love and for more than just the one person , the disrespect even when out of fear lies in dishonesty not infidelity by definition what if your girlfriend also is in love with another , she doesn't deserve a judgement of being a bad person
Ok the whole once a cheater always a cheater I combat that. I had cheated in one of my relationships, I was mortified when I realized what I was doing. I told my girlfriend at that time I confessed to her. She was willing to forgive me but I couldn't forgive myself, I packed my stuff and left. I was disgusted with myself, for the next 3 years I was punishing myself. I never wanted to do that ever again I resolved myself to never cheat again. My next relationship I married her and she cheated on me -_-.
When my 1st wife cheated I moved out 10 minutes after I found out & moved on quickly. When my 2nd wife cheated I stayed because we had kids & multiple properties so it was cheaper to keep her. 17 years later & living a sexless marriage I learned the other man is the one that dumped my wife & I am nothing but her 2nd choice. Without trust she has been nothing but a burden & in 12 months the youngest finishes college & my wife is getting divorce papers.
Sorry to hear that buddy. Why did you choose to stay in this marriage anyway? You know it's not about the kids nor about the properties. It is time for you to recognise and love yourself. Be happy and live with someone who actually wants you, loves you, misses you when you are gone and always respects you. You are worth it!
So you have never ever lied about anything in your whole life? In my eyes expecting a partner to be superhuman is the safest recipe for a failing relationship. I want my partner to be human and I love his fallibility.
sadly the last part of that sentence after because appears not to be true , my late uncle cheated , he liked the other woman , but he still loved his wife , precisely that is very possible , don;t jump to conclusions to quickly but don;t rule it out either
I agree, when you love someone you will not hurt them intentionally. And cheating is hurting that other person. I still may piss off my wife from time to time...But I am not going to hurt her intentionally. We definitely don't want to hurt the people we love.
humans are anthing but simple , 1.people and societies in the world have been predominantly polyamarous monogamy is a new concept 2. you can love two people at the same time just in a different way think of ex husbands or ex wifes 3. people in an open relationship or polyamarous people are cheating with permission you could say , are they incapable of real love , no I say 4. you are making a judgmental analysis based on romantic idealism humans are not perfect and are complex as are feelings 5. A judgmental analysis is THE reason why people keep secrets and are dishonest so if someone is dishonest with you and you are judgmental then their dishonesty to a large degree is of your own making 6. men and women can be sl*ts or womanizers , sex is sex and love is love they are two very different things 8. Any judgmental analysis is based on romantic idealism and that means that you do not really accept or love the person that cheated on you. 9. trusting someone totally is romantic idealism we humans are not perfect and complex , the concept of polyamory would preach that we are capable to feel different things for different people and that what you may feel for the one does not negate or make less what you feel for another monogamous minded people find that hard because their form of love is possessive and you will never possess anyone they find it hard to accept and thus cannot accept or truely love the one that cheated on you
11:54 contempt! With one look, you can literally reduce somebody to Nothing. This brought me to tears! So Powerful & True. Unfortunately I experience this often with my Husband. He doesn’t like to talk to me, or open up and tell me his feelings. I get Stonewalled “silent treatment” & that Contempt “the look”. Every time!! I don’t know what to do anymore.
Maybe you should try being vulnerable and tell him that's how it makes you feel.. You could say "I feel it hurts my feelings when you look at me with contempt. " And see if he is quick to defensiveness.
Perhaps write it out in a short letter and have someone else give it to him and talk to him about it? Someone who really has your husband's ear. Wishing you two well. :)
I think you can more vulnerable while using "I" language.... Like "I feel unloved when you don't talk to me" "I feel unwanted when you avoid me and that makes ME feel moving away from you...
When the wayward partner (WP) cheats, he or she has decided to IGNORE the significant other at that moment, regardless if the WP pays the bills or does any act of service prior. To annihilate a person, it suffices to IGNORE him or her. Indifference kills. It is like telling the other person: ‘you are dead to me’, because you have killed him or her in your heart. That's what makes cheating emotionally traumatic for the significant other.
You will never fully trust them again, You will not thrive in your relationship, but rather survive, Once that bind is broken, It shall not be mended, Should you throw the relationship away, who knows, I guess if you can live without them, If you love them unconditionally though, You are in for a very long ride.
That’s not true at all. I fully trust my partner again. They did so much work on themself in therapy and have been rock solid for 15 years now. The important part is that they actually want to change and do.

My soon to be ex husband admitted to me on cheating with multiple women throughout our 38 1/2 years together and married. My heart was crushed!! I felt completely betrayed! Ugh i didn't even want him touching me anymore. We had been having a couple of rough years before that and he had been accusing me of cheating on him. I have NEVER cheated on this man ever! I could never trust him again. I have been separated from him almost 9 months and in the final stages of our divorce. He now has been seeing someone for a few months now both my grown sons have witnessed themselves. They want nothing to do with him. Cheating not only hurts you it hurts the children to.
I had these friends. I thought they were the best friends I'd ever had. But when I had a life-changing surgery, they were not there. They'd just keep hurting me, and now I'm afraid to let people in.
If people truly had a consciousness of abundance, I don't think they'd put up with cheating. Yes you can forgive a person, but a relationship is a mutually benefitial agreement. If it's not working for you in any way....no matter how big or small the thing.......you are allowed to break it up. There are other fishes in the sea. If you want a loyal, committed relationship it's only natural you want to do it with someone who PROVES to you their character on a regular basis. People who can't control their sex drive are usually people with weak moral or philosophical convictions anyway - the stuff that is important for loyalty.
@@banderson5676 *It’s the same, If I’m unable to meet your needs after you’ve attempted many times to address it with me then you should promptly dump or divorce me. It shouldn’t matter if we’ve been together for 20+ weeks or 20+ years. If you have to seek emotional or physical intimacy elsewhere, don’t sneak, just end the relationship that you no longer want to be a part of and then go shopping for your needs as a single person. Why is that a hard challenge for some people to initiate? it should be fairly easy but people love making excuses. *Every relationship I no longer wanted to be a part of it always ended with a sit down face to face conversation. 100% of the time the women asked me did I meet someone else?* Nope never, because I’ll never cheat. I’d rather be single than be in a relationship I no longer wanted to be a part, I don’t need to meet someone else to discover that. Women I dated always knew my whereabouts, my location is always shared, I allowed them to answer my phone when it ranged or read my texts out if they were closer to my phone if they wanted and they all knew my phone password. *Men or women with no self control are always going to be a liability.*
Aragh, always reasons people cheat.. had it done though to me.. He said he was sorry and was messed up.. that was his excuse" I was messed up." I loved him and though I tried to move on from it, I was still grieving , what I thought.
@@banderson5676 Both of those questions are irrelevant and the answers to them are meaningless. Cheaters should always be promptly dumped regardless of circumstances. Some of you all tolerate cheating and let cheaters thrive because you refuse to accept they prefer someone else but you prefer to keep them around. That’s is sad!
@standground7956 I agree if you are dating or even married with no kids. In my case, we have 3 kids, married for 16 years and it was strictly an out of state emotional affair my wife had. It'd be just as sad to throw that away if things can be reconciled. Divorce is ugly for kids, that's why I have to at least give a shot to save the marriage.
@@banderson5676 I wish you luck. I do. You’re a better man than I am. I had two kids. 12/10. It wasn’t until they were about 25 that they told me they were glad we got divorced. They found out from my ex about the affair. They both have great relationships w me, but their mom not so much. Once that trust is gone, you maybe put 99.9% out of your thoughts, but for me that .01% was always there. Before the affair I took her word on everything. After, it was always with a kernel of doubt. Best of luck to you. I truly hope it works out for you
Your out-of-the-box thinking and unique perspective turned an otherwise mediocre presentation into a fantastic one *johnsonspy* . You did a good job of catching the mistakes and keeping us from wasting time and by taking the wrong path. Your attention to detail really sets you apart from the crowd. Great work! Jack, Your great work has resulted in tangible, beneficial results to me. You’re a force to be reckoned
So many people saying “leave” “throw the person away”.... why? I am fully aware cheating is wrong and absolutely horrible but where is the dedication to making the relationship work? If you have cheated either emotionally or physically (not sure which on is worse) in a 2 year relationship but you have a lifetime together, can’t there be progress and true love to come out of it?
Yes. It takes both parties to fully commit to the process though and it's not easy. I cheated on my girlfriend and were still together. Like esther said, sometimes cheating makes you realize what you truly have in front of you that you weren't grateful for before. It can be something that strengthens your relationship, just like with any other challenges a couple faces. Cheaters aren't bad people, and especially if they are willing to do the work.
The ex tried to use your information to explain his cheating. I bought in. Purchased your book. Purchased your course about relationships for us as an anniversary gift to move forward. After a few weeks he told me it was too much. Really? I never heard any remorse or honesty regarding his behaviors. I was blamed for not appreciating him, enough. I have been left feeling less of a woman because even after 5 years he has never been truthful about his relationships outside of our marriage. Obviously his actions were such that he couldn’t be honest. He told lies, and continued to see someone else. After 5 years I am just beginning to feel like myself. The question why does not go away, especially when you really loved your spouse.
Why is simple. Human psychology. There's nothing mysterious about human behaviour, you just need to be open to understand it. Emotionally immature people will never make good partners.......so if that's him, and you think there were no red flags...now you know you are not apprehending human psychology FULLY. If you can't accept there are other people NOT like him...then of course you are not going to understand why. See the differences. Ask yourself why would you not cheat, whereas he did? It's all very simple.
In case the Why still hasn't gone away, Esther Perel has some great interviews about polyamory. She discusses a lot of the psychology that leads to cheating - both what a cheater is missing from their partner, but also how it's about human nature needing certain things that are really hard to get from stable relationships. I'd definitely recommend one she did solo, one with Dan Savage at Google, and one with a poly couple.
To me, a marriage is where you trust each other with your very lives. If that trust is broken and my spouse would want to somehow reconcile he/she would have to be comfortable with my indifference to their feelings and emotions from that point on. No one gets a second chance when my life is at stake.
The key is saying sorry that u hurt someone. it’s about the perpetrator not the victim. Acknowledge that u hurt someone. If u are ashamed its more about the perpetrator. If u feel guilty it’s about the victim. It should be about the victim
I think when this happens multiple times during ones life, whether it's a past marriage or a once close friend, and you meet someone you think is someone you can trust with your heart and most things in your world, you make clear to that person you finally feel you can trust again, and they too break the trust...where can you go with this?
you can realise and accept that people will do what they want and that if your not bringing more to their table than anyone else they will walk. so you can be the best version of you and put in the work on yiuraelf and a relationship or ya can walk away from it all and do ya own thing. doing the same thing iver and over will yeild the same reaults.
You don't need to fight to get turned on... be a team more like help each other out in life as it's short. No playing games behind peoples back. The problem is Social Media/cell phones destroyed Western relationships. There lack of respect and trust today and therefore people living on edge in a lot of relationships. Peace and love is all you need.
I’m the complete opposite of you. I discovered it, deliberated for about 15 minutes and disappeared without a trace. I didn’t even block her, just went no contact. Moved the next town over looking for a fresh new start. She tracked me down a little over a year, approached me at my job. She was angry crying about me walking out, we’ve known each other for 7 years. I then presented her video footage of her “encounter”. She asked why I didn’t confront her. I told her it wasn’t necessary since she didn’t inform me of her plan to cheat.
@@DR-gg4zp Thanks! I think all cheaters deserve not closure. I prefer them not to have the benefit of knowing that their betrayal negatively impacts you. Her parents tried to blame me for her suicide attempt, blaming me for abandoning her abruptly for no reason. I sent the video of her getting smashed to her parents and told them that her suicide attempt and decision to hookup with this other guy was her choice, that she didn’t consult with me about the cheating or the suicide attempt. I’m the guy who simply walked away, which allowed her the opportunity to hookup with the other guy without the guilty conscience, burden of sneaking around or misleading me. Her mom replied with an angry face emoji calling me a pos and her dad replied with a laugh hysterical emoji saying “damn, that’s legendary savagery!” He said well played, she left out the her cheating part. Her dad and I are cool and play golf weekly.
How mature of you... I've been "cheated" on once, and when she told me I burst out laughing. She was clearly sooooo sorry that I didn't even have to ask whether she liked me more than him. It didn't change our relationship. Because we didn't let it mean anything.
My girlfriend of 6 years cheated on me and it destroyed me like nothing else i had ever experienced. It was the same pain as when my cousin was killed in a car accident when i was a boy. I had not felt pain like this for 25 years. She told me "i made a mistake" i didnt reply. SHE MADE A CHOICE NOT A MISTAKE !
@@carolwilkinsonthetruth7817 Just SO horrible, isn’t it?….It’s SO hard to figure out “their” thinking, because it is SO far from “normal/logical”…..100% SELFISH!! I am finally FREE to live MY life….on MY TERMS!!! 🙌🏻👊🏻😁
Arthurbalcita: You can’t have a relationship with a narcissist. Nothing about them is real or honest or trustworthy. You are simply a supply to their egos. They are users. You are there to be used. Nothing more. There is no relationship to save. It never existed for them. RUN!
Cheating disqualifies them for your time. Never need to trust anyone but yourself to leave when bounderies are crossed, family or not, leave. Still your choice though.

Often the difference between whether a person is identified as a hacktivist (or Batman vigilante as described here) or a terrorist is whether the person describing the hacker agrees with their ideology or not. One of the reasons why doing real harm with hacking is not a good idea. *Brian hacks online* all the way. No worries about breaking the law, and you're actually building value for someone by ensuring they know of all their system's vulnerabilities. A great place to start practicing is on your own devices and networks.
It is a long process, we were together for close to 30yrs and he had an affair and blamed it on me , are we together now yes and it’s a lot of hard work still
Is this the ONLY affair he’s had??? If he is blaming this on you he’s: Showing signs of narcissism (think Donald Trump) The above statement alone gives me reason to believe this may not be the only one. If your marriage is going well congratulations! Getting married is easy, getting divorced is hard, staying married is extremely hard. Now that you know after 30 years that he’s taken this option prepare yourself for YOUR options just in case it happens again.
I'm happy for you that you've managed to keep your marriage together. A lot of people would have taken the easy way out and walked away rather than do the hard work. Good for you both.
I got betrayed after 23 years of marriage, we built life together from the scratch raised two beautiful boys and she gave up on me, I'm 45 and it fills like life is over, I feel so empty and broken, just don't know what to do anymore
It is time to focus your attention on yourself and what you want out of life. I know it hurts but your life is not over. This could be the best thing to happen to you. Don't give up on yourself.
Try finding out that your wife had you removed by the police for no reason. That she's sleeping with her son-in-law while her daughter and he moved in my house. Tell me? How much could you trust her after that? I never would again. The pain ripped my heart out. But wait! There's more. 😢
Be thankful that your son in law showed you who she really is and what she’s capable of. Why are you disappointed at the opportunity to divorce a cheating?
@@CrystalDatingCoach Clearly didn't listen to the end. It's the contempt that can be shown/perceived thru cheating. That was the whole point of the middle part of the discussion around do you feel bad that you hurt your partner because you cheated. If you don't, it's over, nothing to salvage.
I lost a son and was able to come to acceptance after eight years. My wife cheated and I never looked at her the same. Don't waste time lying to yourself it's not possible.
Coming from a relationship with infidelity- 3 years later. The scar is still there. I was able to put my husband to nothing. Absolutely nothing. He was nothing to me. This resulted into a suicide attempt that ended up turning my hatred into love. the reverb of the infidelity still awakens in our intimacy.
Not to mention I humiliated him for his actions. I made sure everyone knew what a fraud he was. This by far was the hardest thing I have ever done- coming back from these emotions to a loving space.
Omg l do relate it is such a personal experience and it depends on each one’s mental state . It’s not a one size fits all reaction. Every one copes uniquely. It is one day at a time process .

Esther you’re Incredible a Beautiful Blessing♥️Thank you 🌷
Yes, I would like to hear that too. No one addresses the unfaithful who continues to cheat and promises it will never happen again..,until the next time.
It irritates me that everyone talks about trust. It's not about trust - it's about how to re-pledge holy loyalty to someone who has shown you contempt. How to see your way around all that.
His words are always ‘ it doesn’t mean anything, it just the way he is’ that he will never do anything to hurt me’ like telling someone else you love her and miss her and all those things you tell me , same way you tell me, isn’t hurting me. My heart is just broken and don’t even know where to go from here…cheating during your wife’s pregnancy, not once but twice.
I hate that you're going through this but sis, you MUST love yourself (and your little one) more than this. If it didn't mean anything he wouldn't have done it. He is clearly telling her that the affair means something to him. He has no love nor respect for you nor his kid. Some men would literally die for their family. Yours would rather sacrifice your heart and hurt you and possibly see his kid grow up and a broken home, than not have sex with someone else. He doesn't love you, he doesn't love his kid, and he doesn't love the other woman; he only loves himself. 💔 Wishing you the best, sis. 🤎
I am unable to trust a cheat or believe in a liar, even if they've only done it once, bc I believe if they have done it once, they will do it again. I know I would be a better human being if I believed in giving (and getting) second chances, unfortunately I'm not there yet!
An experts opinion : A man is by nature polygamous , monogamy and fidelity are unnatural situations propagated by religious beliefs and social pressures A man is visual and logical in nature for him it’s just a physical release that’s got nothing to do with love (thats why monogamy and fidelity creates so many problems because it is unnatural ) another expert's opinion : The probability of cheating in monogamy is high. Most of the times the relationship becomes a lie and lose it's complete meaning, because of the imposed restrictions and limitations. Procreation is such a strong biological drive that only few people can resist the temptation to cheat even most women People cheat on who they love all the time. Monogamy is just not a natural thing. Even if you are faithful you still have to fight the urge to cheat. We’d do better as a culture if we could exercise a little more tolerance, acceptance and honest discussions around sex, desire and marriage, and try to be less rigid in our idealistic views of monogamy. a survey has revealed that 74% of men and 68% of women would have sex with someone else if it were guaranteed that their spouse would not find out !!! Whatever you opinion is about this : this means : your friends, your family, your brother, your sister, your cousin, your sister in law or your neighbour etc. That’s not just considering it they would actually be unfaithful !!! Its not just considering it they would actually do it The same people who judge and condemn others for their infidelity and this means that people are either faithful out of fear of potential discovery and the consequences thereof or are unfaithful listen to youtube clip : women hate to hearing the hard truth THE TRUTH ABOUT DISHONESTY IN A RELATIONSHIP : A relationship expert says this : Dishonesty is often a sign of a deeper problem in the relationship. “If someone can’t be honest, it’s because they’re frightened of telling the truth,” says Norris. “It’s very easy to lay the blame at the feet of the one who’s being dishonest, but YOU SHOULD LOOK AT WHY THIS PERSON CAN'T BE HONEST WITH YOU !!!
@@youtubefans510 People would be helped so much if they didn't live by the same stupid social norms and rules from generation to generation without thoroughly questioning who actually set them up and why they should be right. So the same dramas just keep repeating themselves. And for what? That doesn't get anyone any further.
@@bittehiereinfugen7723 people are not born monogamous morality is a human invention which may have been introduced with good intentions but it is not genetic and it is like a code of conduct but also places a judgement on people and people judge others as being right or wrong on that basis and as trustworthy or untrustworthy because of that and it is that which is wrong , polyamarous people accept human nature and value honesty more than infidelity , I agree with polyamory in theory not the practice of it , we are as human being capable to like , lust, fancy , be fond of and even love more than just the one and I am not placing judgement on that either way , for that am sure some people may call me immoral but what are morals anyway there is no cosmic law for it
I did alot of wrong early in my marriage. I never got caught or confronted. At some point I grew up. I have no desire to cheat. Cheating was never all fun. It was exhausting mentally emotionally and physically. The guilt got so bad I ended up in therapy. I seen other people get caught and how bad it hurt their partners. I'd never ever want to hurt my wife like that.
You're hurting your partner by staying and living a lie more than the truth. You're worried about YOU getting caught and the pain YOU will have to deal with knowing THEY KNOW you hurt them. Not being truthful is cowardice. If you mess up, own it and have enough respect for your partner for them to know the real you so they can make the best decision for them. I believe in forgiveness, understanding and a willingness to make anything work but only with the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth. Otherwise the entire relationship is a lie.
She deserves so much better than you. I hope she realises whatba disgusting human you once were and leave you and find a good man that actually deserves her
Is it an accepted excuse amongst women that having an affair can be justified because you “lost yourself” after becoming a mother and wife and you just needed to feel again?
What to do when the person breaks the promise every time for the same reason. He doesn't want to leave his family.... But his explanation is that he is doing so to maintain his sanity.... Because I was so much involved in the daily routine of the family.
You cheated but you care for your boyfriend?No Shit!? Sorry because ill be a bit rough but you don’t care for him , at least not on a way you should. Cheating is not a mistake, is a choice..So you choose to knife his back instead being honest with him that you can’t stay committed in the relationship… So you want to fu*k around while he is away? The best thing you can do is just to leave him, probably he don’t need someone who will make him a donkey behind his back, he need a girl with a character who can stay loyal no matter of the circumstances , something you really missing
Bingo, there is no respect if she wanna fuck around whit other men, Tell your man that you cant be whit 1 person maybe he says "thats fine we break up and move on or say ok thats what i wanted to do aswell " and see how that works out for both. But dont ever fuck around and when they find out much later say your sorry because you are totally not sorry for your actions otherwise whit respect u would bring it up as soon as u see your partner . Have a great weekend Richard 👍
that rather depends on the person , did he she particularly like and feel attracted to that one specific person or is it a personality trait , I wouldn't think the latter as a rule
I resented my partner for physically and emotionally abusing me in the early years of our relationship, (I.e, slapped in the face, spit in the face, pinned down), Even after he had actually “changed”, I did trust him, and then I cheated. I Wasn’t courageous enough to leave since it’s always just been the two of us. There are no great excuses for cheating, only cowards
@@jvhamby5Moral values deficit is the reason she cheated. She is typical opportunist, taking self comfort in "just two of us" and then cheating to boost the ego
I think she has or is grown up enough to deal with the fact rather then being possessive or judgmental or verbally abusive like most people I think she is open and can deal with it and accept that we are all human capable to feel different things for different people after all your partner does not always have feelings just for you that would be romantic idealism
That’s like saying find a perfect person, lmk when you find one, everyone cheats tbh it may not be physical but it’s definitely emotionally and mentally. Everyone deserves a second chance
@@MillarRecords you are muddying the waters there. There is no comparison between finding someone other than your partner attractive vs sleeping with that person and deceiving your partner. Also, plenty of people don't cheat. It's sad that you think it requires someone 'perfect ' to behave in a merely decent manner.
Stay out of relationships with a bipolar partner, unless they understand how their illness affects them and they're willing to work really hard to stay faithful. Otherwise it'll never work.
She's so wise... Unfortunately, didn't help me repair it... my cheating girlfriend doesn't care about digging into our past lol. We are at a point where she ignores my questions and prefers being alone. Guess it's over, for both... I despise her more than when I found out, just for how she handled the situation in the past months...
She started acting that way because she lost respect for you when you didn’t dump her after she cheated on you. Women usually admire men who have self respect.
Lewis, Esther published an amazing video on death and life couple of days ago. Please speak to her about this subject in your next interview🙏❤️selfhelpchampion
Selfish assholes! Those are the people that cheat. All they can ever think about is themselves. There is nothing anyone can say that will make me believe otherwise. If there is something wrong, talk to your partner. But that is maybe harder than finding something new and exciting. Cheaters do not ever deserve happiness after the damage they have done.
truely nice people are empathic and understanding and forgiving and accept people for being human capable to feel different things for different people
Never try to repair a relationship with a cheater. They crossed the proverbial "Rubicon". Going forward in life, be strong enough to not judge others because of that one individual. Trust is the entire basis of any relationship. Break the trust, there is nothing more. And the longer the relationship, the more you've built, was for nothing. Get away from them, period.
Would you forgive someone who physically cheated and stopped on their own but continued to chat with the person until the chatting expose everything and they now delete the contact
Personally think it's a load of crap. Cheaters have proven to be actors, some good most bad, but that's what you get after, an actor's load of crap. Have self respect, don't buy it. Maybe a couple years after divorce start a new relationship but be cautious.
What about you partner cheated since the beginning? 18 years and multiple people? Then we got married cause he admitted and said he changed but just a week ago he told me about his ex that he Cheated with also even though it was more then 15 years ago it hurts because he married me while he didn't admit that. I told him say all the secrets before marriage to start a new beginning and solid ground. But no he don't understand. Now im stuck my metal health has went downhill i don't believe that he feels remorse! I don't know what to do anymore.
It hurts so much when someone cheats on you within a relationship and they act like nothing is going on and it's all in your imagination. I think staying single is less stress!! I don't think I will ever trust anyone ever again.
Yeah it hurts especially if they completely deny the cheating just because it wasn’t physical. Pursuing/flirting/validating/seeking attention/emotionally supporting another person on a daily consistent basis while being in a committed relationship with another is considered CHEATING. You are not respecting your partner.
I'm sorry but I have to tell you to grow up. This is life, ppl are not responsible for how we feel. You are responsible for how you feel. I used to judge ppl who cheated until I myself made the same mistake I never thought I would. Now I know both sides. Trust me, being the one who did the wrong is the worst nightmare. I spent 7 years depressed and guilty, no self esteem at all. I would give everything to be on the other side, I would rather be cheated than to cheat. In the end we're just ppl acting according to our NATURE. No one is the victim or the perpetrator. The ONLY way to stop suffering is to get knowledge and mature. It is easy to judge ppl until you are the one who makes a mistake. I wish everybody would make that mistake so they would understand what happens to the other side.
@@Unconditional---love I disagree a bit with you. I didn't deserve to be cheated on and it was bad behaviour. I told my BF in month 3, that if he wanted to play the field, as I was suspecting he was, then please let me go. I know he was lying from early on. The dishonesty that's what hurts. I am done with trusting men and I am happier alone. I have no desire to go back into any more relationships.
@@newworldlove7031 Your decision on whether or not you should continue seeking a relationship should not be because you were cheated on. Instead realize that the person who cheated on you isn't worth your time, move on and find different people.
@@newworldlove7031 The fact that he cheated speaks volumes about him and means nothing about you. When someone cheats, that's a reflection of their internal world. He doesn't love and respect himself, so he's not ready to provide any real love to anybody. However, its really important for you to think about what role you play in your relationships as well. 99% Of the time, we play a role in the chaos and its SO important to take accountability for that so that you can learn.
What role did you play in the chaos of your relationship? What happened within yourself that your intuition told you that your bf was cheating but you chose to ignore it? Do you trust yourself and your judgement? Do you often play the victim in situations in your life? Does being a victim mean you are always the one who is right and others in your life are always wrong? How does it feel for you to be wrong? What does it mean about yourself if you are wrong?
I used to always be the victim in every single relationship/situation/etc. My partners were always "evil" "manipulative" etc etc the list goes on. I started looking deeper into what role I played in the disfunction and why being the "innocent" or "good partner" was so important to me. To me, being wrong meant that I'm not perfect, and my relationship with perfection has always been a tough one for me. When I started looking within, I became more *accountable* for my own actions and stopped trying to blame others for hurting me, only realizing I was in a way hurting myself with my lack of boundaries, invisibility and not caring to get to know myself more.
IMPOSSIBILE! Everytime you see him talking to a Woman or when he comes home late...your thinking he may be cheating. What kind of life is that??
Exactement !
@Ava Isabella You can ALWAYS find out. They start treating you like SHIT!! Don't make excuses for BAD treatment!
@avai sabella how much does this guy charge
infidelity is always a possibility there is no guarantee depending upon the person it is just a lot less likely but never impossible it is not a question of stabbing someone in the back you translate someone else's actions upon how that may affect you emotionally , men and women do this because of how they feel towards the other person it is not necessarily about how you feel or how they feel about you
Excellent point. The price to pay for enduring and Infidelity is a life sentence of doubts and insecurities. No life at all.
My husband cheated on me and i was devastated. He was my everything and he tried to make it up to me and the kids. But slowly everything he did disgusted me, i realised that i was never important to him, he never loved me. I loved him and could have never hurt him. Id say its not worth it to stick around.
1. infidelity does not mean that you do not love your main partner any more or any less although that may be the case
2. people's expectation of absolute fidelity is far too high an expectation in the long term although striving towards that is not a bad thing
3. there is no guarantee
4. with temptation just around the corner it may be difficult to remain faithful
5. without empathy it is not likely for your partner to be open and honest , especially if you have a zero tolerance attitude
that's why a lot of marriages and relationships fail especially because most of them are built upon the idea of monogamy ,
" It hurts so much when someone cheats on you within a relationship and they act like nothing is going on and it's all in your imagination. I think staying single is less stress!! I don't think I will ever trust anyone ever again." sounds like a bit of a drama queen , depending on the person it may well be very very unlikely but not impossible
for a lot of men , sex is just sex , a enjoyable way to pass your time , I personally cannot relate to that even though I am a man but I know everyone is different , some men they like and feel attracted to another woman she pretty and they just want to """"" her, not nothing but certainly not the end of the world, people men and women don't do it to hurt the other person , that's why they lie well, one of the reasons , the question is: is it a moment with one particular person they like and felt attracted to or a personality trait ?
women tend to think emotionally men tend NOT to , for men sex and love are two very diffrent things
@@youtubefans510 People who REALLY love you do not cheat. And cheaters, were never really in love with you. Period.
@@Luckyrider1958 NO, 1. people and societies in the world have been predominantly polyamarous monogamy is a new concept 2. you can love two people at the same time just in a different way think of ex husbands or ex wifes 3. people in an open relationship or polyamarous people are cheating with permission you could say , are they incapable of real love , no I say 4. you are making a judmental analysis on romantic idealism humans are not perfect and are complex as are feelings 5. your judgemental analysis is THE reason why people keep secrets and are dishonest so if someone is dishonest with you and you are judgmental then their dishonesty to a large degree is of your own making 6. men and women can be sl*ts or womanizers , sex is sex and love is love they are two very different things so your judgemental analysis is based on romantic idealism and that means that you do not really accept or love the person that cheated on you
The people who have betrayed my trust have been banished from my eternal journey.
My ex wife's cheating destroyed my entire life.
Am in that situation now.its heating me alot
How do you heal
@@zeearif7381 with time. its been 4 years since i found out, 1 since my divorce. My situation included someone who constantly gaslit during the reconciliation, refused to not blame me for her choices, and was consistently complaining to people about how I don't care about her enough (none of those people knowing what she did). If you partner or spouse is doing this, do not stay. leave. Healing will come, but you can't heal with someone who doesn't care about you to that extent. take walks, get fit, learn a new skill. Take all your inadequacies and ask yourself if they are true or not. Be honest about it with yourself. If you're overweight, accept it and fix it. If you have a weakness that bothers you, work on it and be diligent. You have to create a new life for yourself, its hard and it takes work. It is doable though.
my wfie cheated for 7 years and when confronted.. she said he is no one and just a good friend. I asked 100 of times and she made me cried, degraded me level with all mean words and finally when I caught she stopped shouting. Now she is like foret this topic.. there is nothing wrong. We are not talking any more and worst part is that she is in another country. #communication gap and height of ignorance.
I’m so sorry for your pain. My husband’s cheating destroyed my life as well.
In order to move on and trust again you must put all that pain and hurt, the act of the affair, all of it... put it behind a door and lock it then toss the key. Dont talk about it again. If you leep the affair in your mind, think about now and again, wonder what the person is doing if they are late from work or dont respond immediately to calls and texts, you will be consumed with the fear and pain of being cheated on again. Forgiveness is not easy
Forgiveness does not mean you will stay together
Forgiveness is not a crutch
Forgiveness is tough
I've tried this after my Mrs cheated on me.
She to this day has never admitted it.
It is obvious it happened.
Story changes every time etc and just simply know it happened.
99%of the time I forget it.
1% of the time it kills me (usually after an argument)

no way id stay with someone of things aint 100%. i would NOT tolerate 1% of anyone's bs cos if she really wanted ya she would be all in 100%. the fact someone would cheat shows they arent bothered about you or the concequwnces and that its an acceptable loss to get someone else.
@@ws8668mental gymnastics bro. She broke the promises and vows you took on your wedding day. She destroyed the marital covenant by defiling your marriage bed. She consciously and with malice, made hundreds of decisions to lie, abuse, and disrespect you. She chose to trade body fluids with another person outside your marriage, and come home and kiss you with that same mouth. Where is the 99%? The truth is that 1% of a metric tonne of shit, is a whole lot of shit! You are afraid of being alone, and you may have kids. Many of us feel that same pressure, but if you stay, everyone dies from this poisonous thing that you call reconciliation with a cheater. You can't save anyone or anything until you save yourself from your abuser. Seeking comfort from her is simply pathological.
Thank you @src3360. I will try.

I have a 0 tolerance policy for cheating. I talked to her but she had to know that it was it. I walk away for good. It's not worth it in the long run. Sometimes cheating results in the fault of both. I worked on my mistakes that allowed me to be cheated on and better for it.

Procreation is such a strong biological drive that only few people can resist the temptation to cheat even most women People cheat on who they love all the time. Monogamy is just not a natural thing. Even if you are faithful you still have to fight the urge to cheat. We’d do better as a culture if we could exercise a little more tolerance, acceptance and honest discussions around sex, desire and marriage, and try to be less rigid in our idealistic views of monogamy.
a survey has revealed that 74% of men and 68% of women would have sex with someone else if it were guaranteed that their spouse would not find out !!! Whatever you opinion is about this : this means : your friends, your family, your brother, your sister, your cousin, your sister in law or your neighbour etc. That’s not just considering it they would actually be unfaithful !!! Its not just considering it they would actually do it The same people who judge and condemn others for their infidelity and
this means that people are either faithful out of fear of potential discovery and the consequences thereof or are unfaithful listen to youtube clip :
women hate to hearing the hard truth
“Monogamy is just not a natural thing” is complete bullshit. Monogamy has been the preferred mating arrangement among humans for the past 3 million to 7 million years. Ya know, back before religions and churches and husbands and wives existed.
It is not difficult to fight the urge to cheat. I have a fairly high body count for my age with most originating while being single. Throughout my four long term relationships I’ve entered into however, not once did I have to fight the urge to cheat. In fact I don’t even remember cheating being an option, even when the opportunity to do so presented itself so blatantly. Apparently, I’m not a self absorbed person. Geez….
Remaining with the person who hurt you and cheated on you is not easy. But also for the wayward spouse remaining with the person you hurt and see their pain YOU caused is not easy. It is a long and painful road to recovery and I understand it is not for everybody. It is a possibility for those who really want to give each other a chance. It did work for us.🥰
sadly that way you potentially increase the possibility of secrets and lies if you lay down the law on her
it is only unconditional love that is real love , the more away from that the less genuine or deep
Cheating is another form of disrespect towards your partner . They don’t know what it does to the person who is being cheated to the emotion and self value , you starts questioning yourself worth .
I say once a cheater is always a cheater period ! You better off alone than be with someone who cheats.. no trust no foundation relationship is going to fail 💯💯
we as humans are capable of more feelings than just lust or love and for more than just the one person , the disrespect even when out of fear lies in dishonesty not infidelity by definition what if your girlfriend also is in love with another , she doesn't deserve a judgement of being a bad person
@@youtubefans510bullshit. Pick one. Don’t make a fool and ruin someone’s life for your selfishness.
Ok the whole once a cheater always a cheater I combat that. I had cheated in one of my relationships, I was mortified when I realized what I was doing. I told my girlfriend at that time I confessed to her. She was willing to forgive me but I couldn't forgive myself, I packed my stuff and left. I was disgusted with myself, for the next 3 years I was punishing myself. I never wanted to do that ever again I resolved myself to never cheat again. My next relationship I married her and she cheated on me -_-.
@@therai300Welp. At least you learned your lesson.
Once a cheater always a cheater is 1000% a myth.
When my 1st wife cheated I moved out 10 minutes after I found out & moved on quickly. When my 2nd wife cheated I stayed because we had kids & multiple properties so it was cheaper to keep her. 17 years later & living a sexless marriage I learned the other man is the one that dumped my wife & I am nothing but her 2nd choice. Without trust she has been nothing but a burden & in 12 months the youngest finishes college & my wife is getting divorce papers.
Sorry 😢
Damn, that's the hardest thing I've read in a while ;/ Sorry for u bro.
Sorry to hear that but cheating is a deal breaker you cheat I'm gone period.
Good grief. If your youngest is already like 22 yrs old, why wait?
Sorry to hear that buddy. Why did you choose to stay in this marriage anyway? You know it's not about the kids nor about the properties. It is time for you to recognise and love yourself. Be happy and live with someone who actually wants you, loves you, misses you when you are gone and always respects you. You are worth it!
Why would you ever try to trust someone who proves they are a liar? Never again.
It’s not you who have trust issues, it’s them who have trustworthiness issues.
I agree.
You don’t have to trust! You can move on. Life is short so he shouldn’t care. Why do people even care
So you have never ever lied about anything in your whole life? In my eyes expecting a partner to be superhuman is the safest recipe for a failing relationship. I want my partner to be human and I love his fallibility.
@@timm.8729 I agree lol too much pressure around here but it's good to open up for discussion
You don’t cheat on someone you love because you don’t want to. Simple
sadly the last part of that sentence after because appears not to be true ,
my late uncle cheated , he liked the other woman , but he still loved his wife , precisely that is very possible , don;t jump to conclusions to quickly but don;t rule it out either
I agree, when you love someone you will not hurt them intentionally. And cheating is hurting that other person.
I still may piss off my wife from time to time...But I am not going to hurt her intentionally.
We definitely don't want to hurt the people we love.
humans are anthing but simple , 1.people and societies in the world have been predominantly polyamarous monogamy is a new concept 2. you can love two people at the same time just in a different way think of ex husbands or ex wifes 3. people in an open relationship or polyamarous people are cheating with permission you could say , are they incapable of real love , no I say 4. you are making a judgmental analysis based on romantic idealism humans are not perfect and are complex as are feelings 5. A judgmental analysis is THE reason why people keep secrets and are dishonest so if someone is dishonest with you and you are judgmental then their dishonesty to a large degree is of your own making 6. men and women can be sl*ts or womanizers , sex is sex and love is love they are two very different things 8. Any judgmental analysis is based on romantic idealism and that means that you do not really accept or love the person that cheated on you.
9. trusting someone totally is romantic idealism we humans are not perfect and complex , the concept of polyamory would preach that we are capable to feel different things for different people and that what you may feel for the one does not negate or make less what you feel for another monogamous minded people find that hard because their form of love is possessive and you will never possess anyone they find it hard to accept and thus cannot accept or truely love the one that cheated on you
Her words make so much sense. Amazing woman
11:54 contempt! With one look, you can literally reduce somebody to Nothing. This brought me to tears! So Powerful & True. Unfortunately I experience this often with my Husband. He doesn’t like to talk to me, or open up and tell me his feelings. I get Stonewalled “silent treatment” & that Contempt “the look”. Every time!! I don’t know what to do anymore.
Maybe you should try being vulnerable and tell him that's how it makes you feel.. You could say "I feel it hurts my feelings when you look at me with contempt. " And see if he is quick to defensiveness.
Perhaps write it out in a short letter and have someone else give it to him and talk to him about it?
Someone who really has your husband's ear.
Wishing you two well. :)
He’s not opening up because he doesn’t think you have the solution to his problems. Ultimately it takes money to fix most issues.
Me too!!!!!
I think you can more vulnerable while using "I" language.... Like "I feel unloved when you don't talk to me" "I feel unwanted when you avoid me and that makes ME feel moving away from you...
When the wayward partner (WP) cheats, he or she has decided to IGNORE the significant other at that moment, regardless if the WP pays the bills or does any act of service prior. To annihilate a person, it suffices to IGNORE him or her. Indifference kills. It is like telling the other person: ‘you are dead to me’, because you have killed him or her in your heart. That's what makes cheating emotionally traumatic for the significant other.
You will never fully trust them again, You will not thrive in your relationship, but rather survive, Once that bind is broken, It shall not be mended, Should you throw the relationship away, who knows, I guess if you can live without them, If you love them unconditionally though, You are in for a very long ride.
That’s not true at all. I fully trust my partner again. They did so much work on themself in therapy and have been rock solid for 15 years now. The important part is that they actually want to change and do.

@@joshuaamoroso4809i hate to be that person but you don’t know that they never cheated again, however, you do know that they’ve cheated before and are always capable of doing it again. it seems like your relationship runs on wishful thinking.

actually thx to your comment my relationship w my girlfriend still exists . i bought for myslef and even for her those natural drops and i have to say great results
Where did you get it?
Guilt is proof that your conscience is still in tact. 💕 #OwnIt
now that is a very true statement in all cases a sense of guilt means that you are conscientious indeed
indeed , even those who cheat
Remorse and guilt are emotions that arise after the events of infidelity and betrayal. Closing the gate after the horse has bolted?
After the Betrayal of being cheated on I will stay single and never trust that person again!
My soon to be ex husband admitted to me on cheating with multiple women throughout our 38 1/2 years together and married. My heart was crushed!! I felt completely betrayed! Ugh i didn't even want him touching me anymore. We had been having a couple of rough years before that and he had been accusing me of cheating on him. I have NEVER cheated on this man ever! I could never trust him again. I have been separated from him almost 9 months and in the final stages of our divorce. He now has been seeing someone for a few months now both my grown sons have witnessed themselves. They want nothing to do with him. Cheating not only hurts you it hurts the children to.
I had these friends. I thought they were the best friends I'd ever had. But when I had a life-changing surgery, they were not there. They'd just keep hurting me, and now I'm afraid to let people in.
expression a friend in need is a friend indeed or no one wants you when you are down and out, thats when you find out who your true friends are
I know exactly how you feel, I'm going through the same
If people truly had a consciousness of abundance, I don't think they'd put up with cheating. Yes you can forgive a person, but a relationship is a mutually benefitial agreement. If it's not working for you in any way....no matter how big or small the thing.......you are allowed to break it up. There are other fishes in the sea.
If you want a loyal, committed relationship it's only natural you want to do it with someone who PROVES to you their character on a regular basis. People who can't control their sex drive are usually people with weak moral or philosophical convictions anyway - the stuff that is important for loyalty.
What do you think about emotional affairs, rather than a sexual or physical affair. Any reconcile?
@@banderson5676 *It’s the same, If I’m unable to meet your needs after you’ve attempted many times to address it with me then you should promptly dump or divorce me. It shouldn’t matter if we’ve been together for 20+ weeks or 20+ years. If you have to seek emotional or physical intimacy elsewhere, don’t sneak, just end the relationship that you no longer want to be a part of and then go shopping for your needs as a single person. Why is that a hard challenge for some people to initiate? it should be fairly easy but people love making excuses. *Every relationship I no longer wanted to be a part of it always ended with a sit down face to face conversation. 100% of the time the women asked me did I meet someone else?* Nope never, because I’ll never cheat. I’d rather be single than be in a relationship I no longer wanted to be a part, I don’t need to meet someone else to discover that. Women I dated always knew my whereabouts, my location is always shared, I allowed them to answer my phone when it ranged or read my texts out if they were closer to my phone if they wanted and they all knew my phone password. *Men or women with no self control are always going to be a liability.*
@@banderson5676Emotional is worse imo. More personal and invasive, stronger betrayal.
You should not trust them walk away, save yourself time and pain xx
Aragh, always reasons people cheat.. had it done though to me..
He said he was sorry and was messed up.. that was his excuse" I was messed up." I loved him and though I tried to move on from it, I was still grieving , what I thought.
When I found out my ex wife cheated, I came home packed a bag and filed for divorce the next day. Once trust is gone, forget it. Move on
Did you have kids? Was it emotional or physical?
@@banderson5676 Both of those questions are irrelevant and the answers to them are meaningless. Cheaters should always be promptly dumped regardless of circumstances. Some of you all tolerate cheating and let cheaters thrive because you refuse to accept they prefer someone else but you prefer to keep them around. That’s is sad!
@standground7956 I agree if you are dating or even married with no kids. In my case, we have 3 kids, married for 16 years and it was strictly an out of state emotional affair my wife had. It'd be just as sad to throw that away if things can be reconciled. Divorce is ugly for kids, that's why I have to at least give a shot to save the marriage.
@@banderson5676 I wish you luck. I do. You’re a better man than I am. I had two kids. 12/10. It wasn’t until they were about 25 that they told me they were glad we got divorced. They found out from my ex about the affair. They both have great relationships w me, but their mom not so much. Once that trust is gone, you maybe put 99.9% out of your thoughts, but for me that .01% was always there. Before the affair I took her word on everything. After, it was always with a kernel of doubt. Best of luck to you. I truly hope it works out for you
@@banderson5676 ps: it happened in my 16th year of marriage also
Your out-of-the-box thinking and unique perspective turned an otherwise mediocre presentation into a fantastic one *johnsonspy* . You did a good job of catching the mistakes and keeping us from wasting time and by taking the wrong path. Your attention to detail really sets you apart from the crowd. Great work! Jack, Your great work has resulted in tangible, beneficial results to me. You’re a force to be reckoned
So many people saying “leave” “throw the person away”.... why? I am fully aware cheating is wrong and absolutely horrible but where is the dedication to making the relationship work? If you have cheated either emotionally or physically (not sure which on is worse) in a 2 year relationship but you have a lifetime together, can’t there be progress and true love to come out of it?
Nope
Depends on the people in the relationship
ABSOLUTELY NOT! When people show you who they are...Believe them. A Cheater remains a Cheater. #mayaangelou
Yes. It takes both parties to fully commit to the process though and it's not easy. I cheated on my girlfriend and were still together. Like esther said, sometimes cheating makes you realize what you truly have in front of you that you weren't grateful for before. It can be something that strengthens your relationship, just like with any other challenges a couple faces. Cheaters aren't bad people, and especially if they are willing to do the work.
@@sammywildflower1617 Would you feel like this if your "girlfriend" cheated on you?? Would you forgive her??
The ex tried to use your information to explain his cheating. I bought in. Purchased your book. Purchased your course about relationships for us as an anniversary gift to move forward. After a few weeks he told me it was too much. Really? I never heard any remorse or honesty regarding his behaviors. I was blamed for not appreciating him, enough. I have been left feeling less of a woman because even after 5 years he has never been truthful about his relationships outside of our marriage. Obviously his actions were such that he couldn’t be honest. He told lies, and continued to see someone else. After 5 years I am just beginning to feel like myself. The question why does not go away, especially when you really loved your spouse.
He sounds like a leo
Why is simple. Human psychology. There's nothing mysterious about human behaviour, you just need to be open to understand it. Emotionally immature people will never make good partners.......so if that's him, and you think there were no red flags...now you know you are not apprehending human psychology FULLY. If you can't accept there are other people NOT like him...then of course you are not going to understand why. See the differences. Ask yourself why would you not cheat, whereas he did? It's all very simple.
So sorry. Hugs
In case the Why still hasn't gone away, Esther Perel has some great interviews about polyamory.
She discusses a lot of the psychology that leads to cheating - both what a cheater is missing from their partner, but also how it's about human nature needing certain things that are really hard to get from stable relationships.
I'd definitely recommend one she did solo, one with Dan Savage at Google, and one with a poly couple.
@@MrNicoJac cheaters cheat because they are entitled assholes. It has nothing to do with needs not being met. You're welcome.
To me, a marriage is where you trust each other with your very lives. If that trust is broken and my spouse would want to somehow reconcile he/she would have to be comfortable with my indifference to their feelings and emotions from that point on. No one gets a second chance when my life is at stake.
yeah, that’s not reconciliation you’re offering bro. hope your spouse would dump your ass stat.
The only reason he’s remorseful is because he’s been caught- I ain’t gonna to sit around and hear his BS and see his crocodile tears . Girl bye🤷♀️
So he is a girl?
It hurt so bad is because sometimes you have given your self even when you didn't feel like it.
The key is saying sorry that u hurt someone. it’s about the perpetrator not the victim. Acknowledge that u hurt someone. If u are ashamed its more about the perpetrator. If u feel guilty it’s about the victim. It should be about the victim
I think when this happens multiple times during ones life, whether it's a past marriage or a once close friend, and you meet someone you think is someone you can trust with your heart and most things in your world, you make clear to that person you finally feel you can trust again, and they too break the trust...where can you go with this?

Peace and love is all you need.
I just can’t get over cheating. I can never drop it. Even after years, I cannot. I want my ex to spontaneously combust.
I’m the complete opposite of you. I discovered it, deliberated for about 15 minutes and disappeared without a trace. I didn’t even block her, just went no contact. Moved the next town over looking for a fresh new start. She tracked me down a little over a year, approached me at my job. She was angry crying about me walking out, we’ve known each other for 7 years. I then presented her video footage of her “encounter”. She asked why I didn’t confront her. I told her it wasn’t necessary since she didn’t inform me of her plan to cheat.

@@DR-gg4zp Thanks! I think all cheaters deserve not closure. I prefer them not to have the benefit of knowing that their betrayal negatively impacts you. Her parents tried to blame me for her suicide attempt, blaming me for abandoning her abruptly for no reason. I sent the video of her getting smashed to her parents and told them that her suicide attempt and decision to hookup with this other guy was her choice, that she didn’t consult with me about the cheating or the suicide attempt. I’m the guy who simply walked away, which allowed her the opportunity to hookup with the other guy without the guilty conscience, burden of sneaking around or misleading me. Her mom replied with an angry face emoji calling me a pos and her dad replied with a laugh hysterical emoji saying “damn, that’s legendary savagery!” He said well played, she left out the her cheating part. Her dad and I are cool and play golf weekly.
How mature of you...
I've been "cheated" on once, and when she told me I burst out laughing.
She was clearly sooooo sorry that I didn't even have to ask whether she liked me more than him.
It didn't change our relationship.
Because we didn't let it mean anything.
Thank you for this, really appreciate it
So glad you enjoyed it! Appreciate you for watching!
Yes but it’s not easy. Time is needed to heal
But it’s hard to forgive someone who hurts you!!! They don’t even admit to there mistake!!! They just dismiss you!!!
Then they don’t want to be forgiven, move on
I hope you're long gone from there
So why are you with them?
It's a difficult topic to face.
It was very painful when I faced such moment.
Amazingly wise person! Thank you, Esther🙏❤
My girlfriend of 6 years cheated on me and it destroyed me like nothing else i had ever experienced. It was the same pain as when my cousin was killed in a car accident when i was a boy. I had not felt pain like this for 25 years. She told me "i made a mistake" i didnt reply. SHE MADE A CHOICE NOT A MISTAKE !

Often the difference between whether a person is identified as a hacktivist (or Batman vigilante as described here) or a terrorist is whether the person describing the hacker agrees with their ideology or not. One of the reasons why doing real harm with hacking is not a good idea. *Brian hacks online* all the way. No worries about breaking the law, and you're actually building value for someone by ensuring they know of all their system's vulnerabilities. A great place to start practicing is on your own devices and networks.
It is a long process, we were together for close to 30yrs and he had an affair and blamed it on me , are we together now yes and it’s a lot of hard work still
Is this the ONLY affair he’s had??? If he is blaming this on you he’s:
Showing signs of narcissism (think Donald Trump)
The above statement alone gives me reason to believe this may not be the only one.
If your marriage is going well congratulations! Getting married is easy, getting divorced is hard, staying married is extremely hard.
Now that you know after 30 years that he’s taken this option prepare yourself for YOUR options just in case it happens again.

Are half the comments missing the points...
Try finding out that your wife had you removed by the police for no reason. That she's sleeping with her son-in-law while her daughter and he moved in my house. Tell me? How much could you trust her after that? I never would again. The pain ripped my heart out. But wait! There's more. 😢
Be thankful that your son in law showed you who she really is and what she’s capable of. Why are you disappointed at the opportunity to divorce a cheating?

Coming from a relationship with infidelity- 3 years later. The scar is still there.
I was able to put my husband to nothing. Absolutely nothing. He was nothing to me. This resulted into a suicide attempt that ended up turning my hatred into love. the reverb of the infidelity still awakens in our intimacy.
Not to mention I humiliated him for his actions. I made sure everyone knew what a fraud he was. This by far was the hardest thing I have ever done- coming back from these emotions to a loving space.

I wish she'll address where one partner repeatedly cheats on the other and wants to be forgiven each time.
She would probably say to leave that relationship.
You leave...
Yes, I would like to hear that too. No one addresses the unfaithful who continues to cheat and promises it will never happen again..,until the next time.
It irritates me that everyone talks about trust. It's not about trust - it's about how to re-pledge holy loyalty to someone who has shown you contempt. How to see your way around all that.
She's really good

His words are always ‘ it doesn’t mean anything, it just the way he is’ that he will never do anything to hurt me’ like telling someone else you love her and miss her and all those things you tell me , same way you tell me, isn’t hurting me. My heart is just broken and don’t even know where to go from here…cheating during your wife’s pregnancy, not once but twice.
I hate that you're going through this but sis, you MUST love yourself (and your little one) more than this. If it didn't mean anything he wouldn't have done it. He is clearly telling her that the affair means something to him. He has no love nor respect for you nor his kid. Some men would literally die for their family. Yours would rather sacrifice your heart and hurt you and possibly see his kid grow up and a broken home, than not have sex with someone else. He doesn't love you, he doesn't love his kid, and he doesn't love the other woman; he only loves himself. 💔
Wishing you the best, sis. 🤎

Procreation is such a strong biological drive that only few people can resist the temptation to cheat even most women People cheat on who they love all the time. Monogamy is just not a natural thing. Even if you are faithful you still have to fight the urge to cheat. We’d do better as a culture if we could exercise a little more tolerance, acceptance and honest discussions around sex, desire and marriage, and try to be less rigid in our idealistic views of monogamy.
a survey has revealed that 74% of men and 68% of women would have sex with someone else if it were guaranteed that their spouse would not find out !!! Whatever you opinion is about this : this means : your friends, your family, your brother, your sister, your cousin, your sister in law or your neighbour etc. That’s not just considering it they would actually be unfaithful !!! Its not just considering it they would actually do it The same people who judge and condemn others for their infidelity and
this means that people are either faithful out of fear of potential discovery and the consequences thereof or are unfaithful listen to youtube clip :
women hate to hearing the hard truth THE TRUTH ABOUT DISHONESTY IN A RELATIONSHIP :
A relationship expert says this : Dishonesty is often a sign of a deeper problem in the relationship. “If someone can’t be honest, it’s because they’re frightened of telling the truth,” says Norris. “It’s very easy to lay the blame at the feet of the one who’s being dishonest, but YOU SHOULD LOOK AT WHY THIS PERSON CAN'T BE HONEST WITH YOU !!!
@@youtubefans510 People would be helped so much if they didn't live by the same stupid social norms and rules from generation to generation without thoroughly questioning who actually set them up and why they should be right.
So the same dramas just keep repeating themselves.
And for what? That doesn't get anyone any further.
@@bittehiereinfugen7723 people are not born monogamous morality is a human invention which may have been introduced with good intentions but it is not genetic and it is like a code of conduct but also places a judgement on people and people judge others as being right or wrong on that basis and as trustworthy or untrustworthy because of that and it is that which is wrong , polyamarous people accept human nature and value honesty more than infidelity , I agree with polyamory in theory not the practice of it , we are as human being capable to like , lust, fancy , be fond of and even love more than just the one and I am not placing judgement on that either way , for that am sure some people may call me immoral but what are morals anyway there is no cosmic law for it
6:16 “ my whole realty has just been shattered”. 😢
Don’t make rash decisions. Very true. Lesson learned….but it cost me additional hurt.
🧡
I did alot of wrong early in my marriage. I never got caught or confronted. At some point I grew up. I have no desire to cheat. Cheating was never all fun. It was exhausting mentally emotionally and physically. The guilt got so bad I ended up in therapy. I seen other people get caught and how bad it hurt their partners. I'd never ever want to hurt my wife like that.
You're hurting your partner by staying and living a lie more than the truth. You're worried about YOU getting caught and the pain YOU will have to deal with knowing THEY KNOW you hurt them. Not being truthful is cowardice. If you mess up, own it and have enough respect for your partner for them to know the real you so they can make the best decision for them. I believe in forgiveness, understanding and a willingness to make anything work but only with the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth. Otherwise the entire relationship is a lie.
She deserves so much better than you. I hope she realises whatba disgusting human you once were and leave you and find a good man that actually deserves her
What do you mean? You have hurt her. Your marriage is a lie. Oneday she will know. The truth finds its way even after years
Is it an accepted excuse amongst women that having an affair can be justified because you “lost yourself” after becoming a mother and wife and you just needed to feel again?
What to do when the person breaks the promise every time for the same reason. He doesn't want to leave his family.... But his explanation is that he is doing so to maintain his sanity.... Because I was so much involved in the daily routine of the family.
Why are you still in that relationship?
Would you have the same option to "maintain your sanity" like he does?
You cheated but you care for your boyfriend?No Shit!? Sorry because ill be a bit rough but you don’t care for him , at least not on a way you should. Cheating is not a mistake, is a choice..So you choose to knife his back instead being honest with him that you can’t stay committed in the relationship… So you want to fu*k around while he is away? The best thing you can do is just to leave him, probably he don’t need someone who will make him a donkey behind his back, he need a girl with a character who can stay loyal no matter of the circumstances , something you really missing
Bingo, there is no respect if she wanna fuck around whit other men, Tell your man that you cant be whit 1 person maybe he says "thats fine we break up and move on or say ok thats what i wanted to do aswell " and see how that works out for both.
But dont ever fuck around and when they find out much later say your sorry because you are totally not sorry for your actions otherwise whit respect u would bring it up as soon as u see your partner .
Have a great weekend Richard 👍
that rather depends on the person , did he she particularly like and feel attracted to that one specific person or is it a personality trait , I wouldn't think the latter as a rule
I resented my partner for physically and emotionally abusing me in the early years of our relationship, (I.e, slapped in the face, spit in the face, pinned down), Even after he had actually “changed”, I did trust him, and then I cheated. I Wasn’t courageous enough to leave since it’s always just been the two of us. There are no great excuses for cheating, only cowards
That’s exactly why you cheated. You got him to change to a lesser form of himself. You lost attraction.
@@jvhamby5Moral values deficit is the reason she cheated. She is typical opportunist, taking self comfort in "just two of us" and then cheating to boost the ego
Did you cheat bc only then he would have let you go?
I'm so broken.
I rather spend my life creating new memories with new people instead of being anxious. But first, i would have let him meet my new lover 😎
She's awesome
🙌
Esther I dont think you have ever suffered the pain of infidelity.
I think she has or is grown up enough to deal with the fact rather then being possessive or judgmental or verbally abusive like most people I think she is open and can deal with it and accept that we are all human capable to feel different things for different people after all your partner does not always have feelings just for you that would be romantic idealism
or just find someone who would never cheat on you
That’s like saying find a perfect person, lmk when you find one, everyone cheats tbh it may not be physical but it’s definitely emotionally and mentally. Everyone deserves a second chance
@@MillarRecords you are muddying the waters there. There is no comparison between finding someone other than your partner attractive vs sleeping with that person and deceiving your partner.
Also, plenty of people don't cheat. It's sad that you think it requires someone 'perfect ' to behave in a merely decent manner.
@@MillarRecords you lost me at "everyone cheats tbh"
Stay out of relationships with a bipolar partner, unless they understand how their illness affects them and they're willing to work really hard to stay faithful. Otherwise it'll never work.
She's so wise... Unfortunately, didn't help me repair it... my cheating girlfriend doesn't care about digging into our past lol. We are at a point where she ignores my questions and prefers being alone. Guess it's over, for both... I despise her more than when I found out, just for how she handled the situation in the past months...
Your girlfriend or ex-girlfriend doesn't care about you, she doesn't love you, she doesn't respect you.
.
Leave her asap
She started acting that way because she lost respect for you when you didn’t dump her after she cheated on you. Women usually admire men who have self respect.
Lewis, Esther published an amazing video on death and life couple of days ago. Please speak to her about this subject in your next interview🙏❤️selfhelpchampion
They haven’t earned your trust. It’s not a question if you regaining trust, it’s up to them to earn your trust. They haven’t earned it. Full stop.
Selfish assholes! Those are the people that cheat. All they can ever think about is themselves. There is nothing anyone can say that will make me believe otherwise. If there is something wrong, talk to your partner. But that is maybe harder than finding something new and exciting. Cheaters do not ever deserve happiness after the damage they have done.
2 kinds of people I have ZERO empathy for: 1. Drunk drivers and 2. Cheaters
You could be one of them someday. Its human nature to be a mess inside, imature etc. You're too harsh. Nothing more human than chaos...
truely nice people are empathic and understanding and forgiving and accept people for being human capable to feel different things for different people
Never try to repair a relationship with a cheater. They crossed the proverbial "Rubicon". Going forward in life, be strong enough to not judge others because of that one individual. Trust is the entire basis of any relationship. Break the trust, there is nothing more. And the longer the relationship, the more you've built, was for nothing. Get away from them, period.
Would you forgive someone who physically cheated and stopped on their own but continued to chat with the person until the chatting expose everything and they now delete the contact
1:32 is incredibly insightful
Glad you enjoyed it!
Personally think it's a load of crap. Cheaters have proven to be actors, some good most bad, but that's what you get after, an actor's load of crap. Have self respect, don't buy it. Maybe a couple years after divorce start a new relationship but be cautious.
Trust after cheating? We fr right now?
Yep... to all this.
woow she is the best
What about you partner cheated since the beginning? 18 years and multiple people? Then we got married cause he admitted and said he changed but just a week ago he told me about his ex that he Cheated with also even though it was more then 15 years ago it hurts because he married me while he didn't admit that. I told him say all the secrets before marriage to start a new beginning and solid ground. But no he don't understand. Now im stuck my metal health has went downhill i don't believe that he feels remorse! I don't know what to do anymore.
Prepare yourself financially. Seek some help for your mentality. Then, GTF outa there
Why are you still there?
