I had an ex try to tell me that my rape (which happened years before we were even together) was the reason he cheated on me. It's pretty amazing what some people will do to avoid taking responsibility for their behavior.
When I was 22 I was in a long term relationship with my first love. I was young, stupid, and totally head over heels in love with guy. Looking back, I was in denial for a while. He was terrible at covering up his tracks - but I ignored all the signs... until the night of his birthday party.
The "choice" I made that he was referring to was "watching a movie with a 'friend,' and then asking for a ride to my dorm so I didn't walk a mile alone in the dark." God, what a slut! What bad choices!
My son's father cheated on me with a trans woman he met on craigslist. I was a week away for my due date and she contacted me on Facebook. I guess she had asked him if he was single and he said yes. She found him on Facebook and sure enough found out he was in a relationship. She sent me dick pics he sent her and…
I'd been dating this guy for two and a half years, and he came down with a sore throat that just wouldn't go away. He kept asking me to look at his throat and tell him if I thought he had tonsillitis...for like three weeks. Yeah, you could see all these horrible pustules at the back of his throat. I kept telling…
In the summer of 2013, I had spent 8 Very Long, Very Hard years in graduate school and was a mere two weeks away from defending my Ph.D. My monogamous husband of 8.5 years went over to visit our closest couple friends' of 5 years house to drink and play video games while I worked on all of my dissertation shit.…
In college, my boyfriend cheated on me with this girl, we all lived in the same dorm, and she paraded around saying and doing things in front of me that really should have clued me in but I just wasn't a jealous person in general and assumed that if my boyfriend of three months wanted to have sex with someone else he…
this is the story of how I got my name - and how my mother discovered my father was cheating on her (all names have been changed to protect the innocent): when I was born the doctor asked my mother what she was going to name me and even though she already had a named picked out, she blurted out the name of the…
Best revenge? I gave the photos to our fundy grandmother. Michelle has had to relive her sin at every family gathering since.
My husband and I separated. I commiserated with my cousin Michelle for most of the summer. We spent many nights that summer drinking, crying and sharing the horrors of our relationships. My husband and I eventually got back together and I moved back into the house. While putting some things into the attic I came…
In a yellow Penske truck, with all of our belongings in the back, 3 dogs at my feet, no home behind me, and a one year lease on a house I had not seen in a city I had not visited in 5 years ahead of me. Yeah, we were almost exactly halfway across the country, on our way to our new life, when he decided to tell me…
I received this text from my boyfriend at the time:
My boyfriend of six years ended things through having an affair with a woman he met through his job (she was an ex grad student of a journalism school where he worked - ugh). I had suspected something for a while and he denied, denied, denied. The night we broke up I came home to find him chatting with her and he…
I woke up to get a drink of water in my own house and found my ex-BFF and boyfriend of 2 years fucking on my own couch, in my living room. Yep. Not that exciting, I suppose, but one of the most horrifying betrayals of my life. That super sad sack of shit ex-BFF has gone on to be a serial cheater who preys on other…
I was going through his phone saw a picture of a headless body asked him who it was and he said it was me.
I had accidentally lost a friend's favorite book and was too embarrassed to tell him so I told my boyfriend to keep it to himself as I stalled, hoping I would either find it or be able to replace it before he asked me to return it. Our (mutual) friend admitted that my boyfriend had spilled the beans a long time ago.…
We had been dating for 9 months. I told him I couldn't go to his birthday party, when I was actually planning a big surprise for him. So I showed up with my awesome gift, to find him there with his other girlfriend :(
I am the youngest singlest loneliest person on this website.
My wedding was "inexpensive," speaking relatively. Well under the $20,000. I just wanted to share that one of the caterers I looked at quoted me $4/pp for TAP WATER. Please, someone (everyone), tell me this isn't normal.
