Be warned, this is a rant about cheating and betrayal, and its rather long, so be aware.
Okay, so today was not a good day in any sense of the word. I mean, it went from bad to worse, to worse. Either way, that’s not the reason why I’m writing this entry. I want to give a suggestion on what you should do, should you feel betrayed in some way. This could be in the form of someone cheating on you, or of someone maybe allowing other people to know of your personal business. Either way, its all a matter of trust. Now, there are obviously different levels of trust you should have with people, but one must learn where the buck stops, so to speak.
For example. What do you do when you find out that you were cheated on? Well, if you’re an understanding person, sometimes the couple affected by their significant other cheating can work it out and the relationship is stronger than ever. But THAT is more the exception than the rule. The rule is, you confront that person, you let them know of how you feel and they’ll explain themselves, and they’ll turn around and do it all over again when the heat is off. In the case of cheating, I think it should be a zero tolerance policy. If your partner cheats on you, get out. Its not going to get any easier, and its not going to get any better. Just pack up your stuff and leave, no matter the kind of relationship. Unless you’re the exception to the rules, which you most likely are not. Sorry. Again, for the most part, people who cheat will most likely cheat again.
What constitutes cheating? Anything that jeopardizes your relationship with the person you’re with. If you’re unhappy with your relationship, get out before it leads to cheating, because I guarantee, the other person doesn’t know its happening and when they do find out, its one of the worse feelings they’ll ever have. So, don’t be a jerk, ladies and gentlemen, just leave if you’re not getting what you want and need.
That feeling of betrayal and of resentment is hard to get rid of, but it is possible. Save yourself, save your respect, and keep your pride, because its not easy, its not fun, and its not worth trying to fix.
Oddly enough, that’s not what happened today. Just felt betrayed. My ex finding out things about me that’s not bad, just…annoying. Trust is a fickle thing, and I think my friend may have lost it. By the way, don’t cheat!
