When it comes to cheating…
I was chilling at my boyfriend’s place and browsing on his computer. He was signed into his Gmail and of course out of curiosity, I opened it. Went though his inbox…I didn’t really see anything. “Ah…”, I thought to myself, ” He wouldn’t cheat on me. We had this talk and we promised to each other that we are going to be honest and that we
are going to make this work.” Was I mistaken. After we broke up because I cheated, we took a break for 2 years. I thought we were not going to get back together. But we did. The truth came out and I found out he cheated too. Not all the way. But still…you know what I mean. As I was going through his sent messages something caught my attention. Wait…is this? July 22. That was yesterday. I am reading his response to a craigslist ad. He wants to “hang out” because he thinks that the other girl is ” looking for the same thing”. What does that even mean? What thing? Below is a picture of his… And yes it was sent just yesterday. I came here yesterday. I flew all the way from Chicago. To see him. Oh well wasn’t I stupid… I called him, thinking I am gonna tell him on the phone what I found out. And by the way, this wasn’t t the only message of this nature. Didn’t pick up. So I just took snapshots of his conversations and send it to him thru messenger. He messaged right back. Called me 20 times. I wouldn’t pick up. Left me voicemails and messaged me some more. All being hysterical. That he has a problem. That he can’t loose me. That he loves me and can’t go on without me. Then he said that he might be psychotic. Ehm please. Really??? These are all horrible excuses. This is just another story of relationship ending with cheating. Like a billionth, trillionth story about cheating. Isn’t that most relationship end this way anyways? And should I have been smarter and believe the famous quote that “All men cheat.” Probably. The truth is that it is always expected from women and a rule of thumb that they should stay faithful. But why? Men act like animals and act on their impulses. Should this be excused? What would be his reaction if HE caught me? Again? Would he forgive me? Hell no. He would kick me out. On the street. Called me a slut since there is a word in the dictionary that describes a promiscuous, perhaps unfaithful female. What do women do when they catch their partner cheating? Nothing. They let it go. “Oh he is a man…it’s normal, they slip from time to time.” Is this right? Should we let it go because it is more reasonable and natural for a men to cheat. I say no. No to the double standard.
