21 Cheaters Exposed Their Reasons For Being Unfaithful, And I’m Shocked At These

19.

“We were together for a total of five years. A year into our relationship, he cheated when I was out of town. I found out the day after I got back, I ‘forgave’ him the same day. But really, I resented him for isolating me from everyone, so I had no one to turn to when this happened, and he had made me think that he was the best I could ever get. The following year, I moved back to my hometown for the summer, and there I realized how desired I was by other men, and it was intoxicating. I never had gotten that type of attention from my then-boyfriend. And with the resentment building up for a year, I started going out on the weekends looking for that attention.”

“I ran into some guys I went to high school with, and one of their friends was really flirty with me. At that point, I knew I should have broken up with my boyfriend, but I didn’t. I would continue to flirt with this guy every time I saw him at the bars until one night he asked me to go home with him, and I said yes. On the way there, the excitement turned into guilt, and I realized I was stooping down to my boyfriend’s level. I told the guy I had to go home, I couldn’t do this. Before the summer ended, I tried to break up with my boyfriend, but he manipulated me into staying with him. I stayed loyal until the end but I wish I would have stuck to my guns and left him that summer. I was so miserable. That was 10 years ago, and now I’m happily married to the love of my life. I would never even think of doing anything like that to him.”
