Don’t worry friends – me and the new dude are doing JUST FINE. This post is not at all about the wonderful man I’m spending my time with.

It appears as though at some point in your dating career (yes it’s a career, much like high school) you may be forced to deal with the stomach dropping awful experience of being cheated on. Which is – pretty much – one of the worst experiences you can go through when dating as you go from being happy and in love one day to a devastated heart-broken-life-doubter the next.

What I don’t understand about cheating – more importantly cheaters, is the selfishness and the consistent lies that one has to live in.  What’s that all about? I mean, first you lie to yourself that you’re thinking about cheating, then you lie to your partner about the cheating, then every word  you utter after that is one lie after another.

That sounds exhausting.

I’m a horrible liar. It’s all over my face. My nose starts growing and it begins to sprout leaves, it’s awkward. Because of this I’m starting to believe that every cheater should look into becoming an actor as they are capable of portraying a character that’s  awesome when really they just plain suck.

Why cheaters suck:

• They don’t realize their actions affect more than themselves.
• They put others lives at risk…diseases are a big deal. JS-ing.
• They keep lying – ‘I never cheated’, ‘They are all lying’, ‘We just kissed’ – F-U Liar. Give your partner some respect and own up to the disgusting thing you did.
• The ability they have to look you in the eye and tell you you’re crazy and blame the entire thing on your insecurities – You know, the  ‘how could you not trust me’ BS.

For the Cheaters:

When it comes to cheating, if you think that you’re going to do this TALK TO YOUR PARTNER.  They’ve invested time, money and emotions into the relationship. It’s the least you could do. And – Stop lying. You’re not protecting anyone but yourself and that’s just plain selfish.

For my fellow Cheatees (def. someone who’s been cheated on by a cheater):

It’s not your fault that they can’t keep it in their pants. It’s theirs and their absolute lack of character.
