24, got out of a 6 year relationship back in March. She cheated… it was really hard the first few months. My family and friends were super supportive and did what they could to cheer me up but I still felt very alone. 
I hate to say it but I’m glad it happened. I’m glad she cheated because I needed to grow and I needed to experience being alone. I needed to learn how to deal with that type of pain and how to love myself. 
Since then I’ve picked up a few new hobbies, lost about 20 lbs, and met someone new who I get along better with then I ever did with my ex. 
You’ll be fine my friend. Pain is temporary, it might not make sense now but one day you’ll look back and understand. Life can only be lived going forward but understood looking backwards.
Eh. I believe you can go on and never cheat on someone else. But to the person you’ve already cheated on, you’ll never not be “the one who cheated” or whatever >

This. The person who cheated may go on to change and better themselves, but they will do that on their own and it sure af won't be with me. And no apology would ever be enough to make it up to me. >

That's fuckin right. >

Done >

There's always the chance a cheater might not cheat in a future relationship. 
But I think the odds of a cheater cheating on the same partner are very high if they got away with it the first time. 
Some people cheat for thrills. Other people cheat to escape the relationship and don't see any other way out. 
Not all cheating is the same, but most of the time, it's dirtbag trashy entitled behavior. >

the taboo is exciting to them, they know its wrong and thats what makes it fun, they care nothing for the pain they might cause. >

26 male, and I think you both just cured my heartbreak froma past relationship. Just hearing someone else say what I always thought. Or atleast acknowledge what I'm sure alot of people have been through 
😓 Thank you
