    My partner cheated on me for a long time, I had no idea. When I found out I was in denial, I questioned him and he denied it all. Slowly the truth prevailed and I saw the years and layers of lies.
    I’ve invested so much time and energy, he reminded me of all the good times and promised to change. Everything was good, but he never changed, he just got better at hiding things.

    Someone will treat you the way you allow them. They can't continue to cheat if you end it with them. So once a cheater always a cheater wont apply if you get rid of them. Let someone else worry about them.

      Smartness is important in a relationship and cyberhackinggenius helped cloned my husband’s phone and I got access to all his dealings both on phone and social media without touching his phone. All I did was share my husband’s phone number and social media handles with Cyberhackinggenius and I was able to read both his new and deleted messages from my phone without having to touch his phone. My husband was a cheating Narcissist and I’m glad to find out all his secrets and infidelity with the help of cyberhackinggenius. I’m here in UK and able to access my husband’s phone messages with a link on my phone even while he was away in Canada cheating on me. I got to discover that my husband who is legally married to me here in UK is also recently married to another woman in Canada and I’m finally going through a divorce with lots of evidence against him. I read all his Whatsapp, Facebook,Skype,Instagram and Snapchat messages Including the deleted text and recent messages. You can contact this great Hacker Gavin via Gmail (cyberhackinggenius) or text and speak to him directly on his phone and WhatsApp : +19256795146 and don’t forget to thank me later.

      @Di Ane good point. If she can have a one night stand then it's very likely she did it again in the 17 years. I honestly feel that nowadays you're more than likely to be with someone who will stray at least once in your relationship or you yourself might do it. At the end of the day throughout your lifetime you will be cheated on at least once, guy or girl whether you find out or not.

    If the person you are seeing tells you they have cheated in most of their relationships, they will cheat on you.
    Everyone else MIGHT cheat on you.
    I just ended it with this girl I really liked but she told me all about her past and that she cheated in every relationship except the guy before me. She even told me how they all happened, "I was drunk and he was just a friend and I wasn't intending it to happen I just ended up on his bed..." Or that she cheated with her ex. She told me last night that she was still in contact with her ex and I dumped her right then. Not the only stuff that happened but I'm definitely not giving her my time.

    • @marinikaP
      @marinikaP 4 года назад +3

      Wow - good discernment and self-respect ! I definitely recognize how you describe how she explained it. Had a similar situation with someone who cheated on his ex and then wanted to be in a open relationship, which I agreed on trusting in him wanting it in good, open communication and respect for one another, but I should have listened better to how he explained it because of the whole "I never/don't know what I'll do when I'm really drunk and drugged and with whoever in that moment because I don't want to hold myself back, I want to follow my desires, just go with the flow and I don't know if I'll use a condom or not because I really hate using condoms blablabla" thing. They're just excuses, really, for not having to take responsibility for their actions, behavior, as well as for all of their actual feelings, hiding them behind an insecure mask of desperate ego-stroking.
      I'm grateful for the whole experience, though, because it triggered and confronted me expressing & standing up for myself, trusting my intuition, and finding my self-worth/value again. And he kinda reflected to me a lot of my unsolved co-dependency and the insecurities I was feeling within me about myself and had to heal in me, although we obviously went at it in completely opposite ways.
      After a few months in it, I really couldn't ignore the red flags and patterns anymore, that were already clear from the beginning - of course, only trusting my intuition being right on those, instead of trusting his words, came after those months - , as I realized I felt like I was taking up a lot of the responsibility for his actions (open communication, providing us with condoms, etc) to be in the relationship, while I should've been responsible for my happiness and feelings : which, realizing that, I had to stop the relationship. I realized as well that you can never be responsible for someone else's behavior and insecurities, that's pointless, you're not their parent, you're an equal : so, that's either up to themselves to take and show they are responsible for their past, actions etc, because if they don't do it, nobody can do it for them - same counts for ourselves - in which case you have to wave & walk out.

    If someone is unhappy they should close their relationship, reflect and move on instead of situationally cheat and explain why they do it. The issue is you will encounter low integrity people who will try to explain why these situations are normal.
    They are not. These people don’t change simply because they think that nothing is wrong with them. There are enough healthy people out there not to have to put up with this crap.

    I’ve never understood “once a cheater always a cheater”. Why does only cheating get that kind of reputation?
    If you are an alcoholic for awhile, but then stop, are you always an alcoholic? No. If you are jerk to people for awhile but then stop and start being nice, are you always an jerk? No.
    Conversely, this also works for good qualities. If you are a great dude for several years, but then go off the deep end and turn into a jerk, nobody will be saying “once a great dude always a great dude”…… see what I mean? People grow and change. You have to be willing to forgive people and let them grow. I get some people are truly just cheaters with zero integrity but lots of others take their mistakes as a kick to the nuts and change forever.

    This happened to me 10 days ago: I was in a long distance "committed" relationship for 12 months, we talked about everything, shared everything, then one day an ex appeared from out of the blue and msged my gfriend, she asked me if she could have a talk with him because he would not have no for an answer, and after their meet, she assured me everything was fine, and she felt liberated and full of life into the relationship she had with me. Then Covid happened and for 6 months we were unable to see each other, visits had to be delayed twice, and although we kept contact every day, had dates, shared as much of our lives together as possible, some frustrations arose. But we bounced back after a week and things couldn't be any better since finaly we were able to visit each other again. And she made plans to take a plane from England to Belgium. She stayed for 2 weeks, and when she got home, she ghosted me for an entire week, I could not understand were this had come from, we just had had a beautiful week together. Then she wrote me a letter, that she was very sorry and I was going to be tremendeously upset, she had slept with this ex she met a few months earlier, (someone she told me was part of a very abusive past/ relationship 5y ago), she slept with him once, but didn't know how to tell me without losing the relationship, to make matters worse, she found out she had become pregnant (7 weeks in) and had to abort. I was shocked, and stunned, nothing during those 12 months would have me believe she was capable of doing this, everything pointed towards comitment, honesty and love. I am not naive, and I took my time with her, she said it was a terrible mistake, a moment of weakness, turned into nightmare, (however getting pregnant after a one timer of protected sex is very unlikely) ... She won't change her original story. And has hopes that it can be fixed somehow. She really believes her story. I broke up the relationship, as I am too shocked and confused, to know what is real anymore. I never had the impression that she was unfaithful, her behaviour was very sweet, many loving letters, and gifts from both sides, she has good friends around her, I felt I could trust her completley . During her stay we had a zoom call with the entire familly mine and hers, to celebrate our being together physicaly etc ... I was making plans to consider living together .. Tough pill to swallow. I feel very deeply betrayed even tho I can rationaly understand how this could have happened. I consider myself to be kind and loving, but not nice, I have strong morals and ethics, I dare to speak my mind, and I am not jaleous or needy, ... the cheating is one thing, but the not telling hurts more (also abortion AND abusive ex partner?) and now my perception of her is super shattered.

    I got divorced a year ago and met a girl who had also. We were both married to those who had mental illness. Very tough. We fell in love so fast and she was begging me to marry her four months in. She never wanted to be exclusive because she always wanted to see what was out there because she married at 19. Six months in I said we should get married. She ran and ghosted me right after. She had lots of healing and issues, and in hindsight my agreeing to marry her was a test. She couldn't do it. A month later I saw her Facebook and she added 13 guys in a row, all from dating websites, which was how she dated due to her busy life. That really hurt, but let me know she wants to play. She went on dates with other men even though she truly was crazy for me. I let her because it was her wish to really see all options. But this really upset me, I unfriended her and officially broke off our 'all but engaged relationship.' Six months later no sign of her. I have never decided if she was a cheater, or as your past videos say that ghosters can't face their own issues and run. She clearly needs attention from men, as she got almost none from a decade of marriage. My struggle is if she ever comes back do I see her as a cheater or a healer who had no clue how to handle her psychological lonesome issues until she dove in and explored?
    I may never know. I've healed myself of my many hard years living with one with mental illness. She may never return unless she does the same.

      Sounds like you have every reason to be available to someone who is available to you emotionally, physically, and mentally. So sorry that you experienced a person who ghosted. A man (48) much older than me(27) expressed a desire to explore commitment and then ditched me on the day of our next date for an Ex who reached out to him DAYS before. He doesn't speak to me and doesn't want to be friends with me despite the many platonic connections we discovered and his saying that I reminded him of some of the "people who loved him the most and knew him the best". I hope for you that you get well, stay well and allow well people to treat you well. It hurts so much when you care about someone early on and you find out they have an Ex that they would consider going back to. Especially one who is at best emotionally irresponsible and at worst, emotionally abusive. Sending all manner of positivity

  • @hobbyhive
    @hobbyhive 5 лет назад +6

    People who change the "goal posts" of the relationship based on the situation are the tricky ones. There is an established set of rules that you abide by, not realizing that they (either consciously or subconsciously depending on their narcissistic level) believe that they can do no wrong whatever situation arises and this allows them to cheat without 'breaking their rules' because they changed the goal post based on the situation and opportunity it arose. However, they hold a different standard, the goal posts for you are never allowed to move, you must follow the rules 'just like they do' when it suits them. Pure and simple: they philosophically believe they are entitled, but the ones who are dishonest when confronted and pretend they always follow the boundaries of the relationship and you misinterpreted, misunderstood the boundaries etc. are distracting you from the truth that they believe they are entitled to maneuver relationship boundaries and you aren't. They sound SO convincing because they truly believe they can do no wrong.

    • @meagiesmuse2334
      @meagiesmuse2334 4 года назад

      The Hobby Hive - Exactly. They can even convince you that they are so full of integrity that even questioning what they do, for example, on a business trip with an opposite sex coworker, or flying somewhere to visit a "friend" of the opposite sex, is above reproach, and if you even ask about it, they will become furious and leave, so you don't ask and swallow your gut feelings. I found out later his definition of cheating was different from everyone else on the planet, so he was not violating it, technically. My player got me to leave my fiance for him, then he moved to another state without me, then much later wrote to me promising that he'd grown up and got me to leave a great place and a great job to go there and be with him, where I could not get a job in my profession, then dumped me when I caught him in a lie, and after I'd loved him for almost 12 yrs., all my prime marriageable years, he married the one who came after me. To anyone reading this, even if he is everything you ever wanted, if your gut tells you he is cheating, run and don't look back. Get professional help if needed to help with your pain. My advice t o avoid this is to chose someone who is less good looking than you are, so he won't have a roving eye. Also, if he has all female friends, that is a huge red flag that other men don't like him and can see what he is.

    these things are situational. if a person believes it's okay they will do it again. if they struggled with relationships because of trauma and pain. they may change if they want to. y'all need to know how to assess your situation specifically. listen to what the person says and believes. people always tell you what they're about if you listen.

    Once a deceptive spouse has cheated for the first time, they have learned and know the drill all too well!
    Given that, they will have a natural proclivity to remain unfaithful, because of their narcissism and engorged sense of entitlement !

    • @npkrn6764
      @npkrn6764 3 года назад

      In the history of many cultures, marriage was (and still is) completely transactional in that it was a merging of families for financial reasons. Even in the U.S., and prior to the sexual revolution and a bit before with more women working during and after WWII, marriages were a transactional in that women had the babies and stayed home with them, and men went out earning the money to support everyone financially. Maybe some would disagree that, that is transactional but it seems so to me. My point is that until recent history - let's say the last 75 years - marriage was transactional to at least some degree. In emotional ways, it still is - we expect resiprocal respect, care, and treatment. It may not be financial transaction, but marriage is still give and take.

    I've been cheated upon and there was a storm of emotions which I've gone thru. Still, I can't bring myself to treat women like they're a commodity or nothing. I've been raised by a gentleman to be one. Please help me with this dilemma I'm facing when it comes to trusting women. Thanks.

  • @muqali4203

    There are controlling partners who are with weaker people who try to break things off many times and can't seem to ever get it to stick. So they latch on to someone outside of the relationship hoping for a rescue. It's not right. People need to be able to set their boundaries. But it's, to me, at least understandable. These are the ones where you see someone cheat who you NEVER thought would. Saying this gets a lot of hate from certain people for some reason.

  • @Astharia

    As long as you can't read the other persons thoughts I would be very careful. Manipulative people who do not want to lose a prospect will make sure to appear very honest, decent and humble if they know it's what you value. After experiences I made myself and observed in my environment I woulf rather end something earlier than I would have liked then regret giving too many chances. The latter doesn't seem to pay off in the end. If there is one topic people lie about in relationships it is about cheating.

I like living on my own, traveling alone etc. So married men suit me. 10 years. 4 years. And I can judge before if they're habitual cheaters then no thanks. If it's just me, then of course we are exclusive. One knows. Mine are usually exes from my teens, early 20s and I'm "the one that got away."

After 6 months he said that he cant stand it no more. That he has no more romantic feelings towards me but he will probably never love anybody like he used to love me. I begged and cried. We dont live together but we have a dog so we went for a few walks. It was very nice time but we act just like friends.
    He said that he doesnt want to give me false hopes because he doesnt see relationship with me no more. I dont know what to do.... I love him so much. Should I go into no contact forever or continue meetings to bring happy memories from times before my infidelity?

      ola lewinska Although we all know that cheating is wrong from just reading your it sounds like you’re truly sorry and that you’re doing your best not to let it happen again since it did only happened once. I would honestly say that since he is no longer interested the best thing to do is to learn from it and it would be something to remember before your next relationship in life. Although most people will condemn you for your fault here it doesn’t mean that you are any of the names nor comments that they’ll say to you and call you it means that you still have a chance in life and leave your fault in the past. Just my humble opinion and hope that helps

      I can probably forgive the cheater but I would not ever be able to forget. I would always have a mental photo of him with the other woman, which is probably how your ex feels, therefore, not want to be in romantic relationship anymore. I think the best thing to do is to stop contact so you can can both heal.

I had a cybersex(sexting)/porn compulsion and during our relationship id do it when i was overwhelmed with bad thoughts and i was slowly fighting the behavior on my own also my mental health. I lied twice to her because i was ashamed until she saw sexting on my apps. Never exchanged my number or had real intentions or convos with them. She decided to finally break up with me as i broke our trust and hearts. Im going to therapy now and focusing my energy to change all my negatives and put positive habits and goals in. I just cant help but think of her daily because she was truly wonderful and she didn’t deserve that because i do love her and never meant to harm her. Hope she will speak to me again
