I think he deserve it?

Before anyone comes for me it wasn’t about revenge or excitement. I cheated because, for months, I felt like I was already in a one-sided relationship. My boyfriend stopped caring, stopped showing up emotionally, and made me feel invisible.

Someone else came along who actually listened. Who made me feel seen again. It wasn’t planned, it just happened and for the first time in a long time, I felt alive.

I’m not proud of it, but I also don’t regret it. It made me realize how deeply unhappy I was and how much I had been settling for less than I deserve. We’ve since broken up, but weirdly… I feel lighter.

I know cheating is never right, but is it still wrong if it’s what finally made you walk away?

You could’ve done it in a way you wouldn’t cheat. I would have just been straightforward and ended it. There’s never a reason to commit adultery.

Just a reminder 🥀

Mfs do anything but leave right lol Like yes give your body to someone else because you’re unhappy and then come home and still be unhappy after cheating 🙄 like is this part of mental illness? Like I’ve never understood it in all honesty. If you’re miserable leave? If you need the attention and justification from someone else that right there is your answer ya know. If you cheat I really hope yall mature and get the help you need deep down. I think it’ll always be a lack of self respect and definitely a lack of mental maturity and control
