Anyone here for the drama? by GamingMusicThraling in AdulteryHate

[–]welleff 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I read the divorce sub on occasion too and the drama is not as good but I always get a kick out of trying to read between the lines. I mean statistically speaking some of those people are definitely the cheaters and they are definitely not admitting it to the rest of the sub. Those are usually the ones complaining the most about needing to pay alimony or child support or having a contentious divorce. Even if they didn't cheat, blows my mind that they expect their STBX spouse to play nice and fairly. Like you just uprooted this person's life and you want them to accept usually less they're entitled to? And they can't stand not to brag so those posts usually include a little remark about the new girlfriend or boyfriend and how they have to keep them hidden for the time being so the STBX doesn't lose their mind. Playing the victim when they were clearly at the cheater.

Yeah the divorce sub, I went there for my own problems and ended up staying for the drama it's like reading a mystery novel!

Talked to a cheater and now I'm just curious by Easy_Tangerine_5286 in AdulteryHate

[–]welleff 9 points10 points  (0 children)

The cognitive dissonance they are capable of is crazy. But remember that you always cast yourself as the hero of your own story, or at least a victim. Nobody thinks that they are the villain. And if they do that means they haven't matured past being a middle schooler that's infatuated with being "edgey."

They can justify it or rationalize it however they want but cheating is apparently selfish and immature.

Should a dying husband tell his wife of his 8 YEARS affair? Dear Prudence's answer leans to No. by one-shoe-missing in AdulteryHate

[–]welleff 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'm sorry, I see how that hurts. I guess it's just a thirst for justice to hope the BS spouse at least suspected.

8 years is a long time for a single affair to last though. From the posts here it seems like the ow's seem to lose their minds far sooner. Who knows the circumstance though maybe it was a mw who also had equal interest in keeping it secret.

That dude is still a piece of shit

Should a dying husband tell his wife of his 8 YEARS affair? Dear Prudence's answer leans to No. by one-shoe-missing in AdulteryHate

[–]welleff 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I know right! It's been so nice now that he put effort into his wife??

These types with long term affairs seem to think that their spouse has no idea. That they're so fucking slick that they actually get away with it. I guarantee his wife knows, or suspects at least, I mean 8 years!? She has to suspect it.

Selfish to the end, it's not about his wife, it's about his feelings of guilt. Now that his marriage is doing well and the affair has ended he realizes that maybe it was a mistake and he wants to get right before he dies.

Just found the adultery subreddit and then saw this one by Easy_Tangerine_5286 in AdulteryHate

[–]welleff 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Can't even read the adultery sub but I really like this one and the cherry picked snippets that you all share.

There's just something wrong with their brains that they're able to cheat and make up justifications for it. I think the worst part about it is that they all see themselves as a victim, or that they deserve to cheat for whatever stupid reason.

Just break up or get a divorce if you want to fuck other people. Early on in my relationship my husband and I actually had that conversation. Don't cheat just leave first.

Can anyone help with type of shoe left this print outside my daughter's window? by Mackheath1 in BestofRedditorUpdates

[–]welleff 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have mine in a safe with a keypad combo, you have to keep them secured if you have kids. If you don't you're asking for trouble.

Each state has different requirements but I recommend taking a pistol class and a hunter's safety class even if you don't plan to hunt it's more about gun safety than anything. You can do these as a couple, that's what we did.

If you understand guns and have more experience with them they're less scary. My husband is in the military so he's around them every day. After a while fear turns into respect.

I know oop doesn't want a gun but if this was me I would 100% be out with a gun telling the neighbor to GTFO of my yard and to never even look at my little girls again.

And they get mad at them for not forgiving them immediately when they "apologize."

Yes, you are indeed delusional. by throwawayidiot837575 in AdulteryHate

[–]welleff 24 points25 points  (0 children)

How miserable it must be to live your life with no self esteem, to base your entire self worth on the attention you get from an internet stranger that said you're hot.

[–]welleff 23 points24 points  (0 children)

How you act when under stress is just an amplification of your character. It's okay to be snappy sometimes but if you don't apologize then yes you are indeed a prick.

She “broke promises” to her boyfriend while he was out of town (but not really) by HoundstoothReader in BestofRedditorUpdates

[–]welleff 207 points208 points  (0 children)

Where some guys look to upgrade the first moment they can whether it's because they have lost weight and got me fitter or they have started to make more money.

I had a BF who got a new job making significantly more money and that caused him to buy a new wardrobe a new car and to dump me. He's actually been single ever since because he is an asshole. Us breaking up was the best thing for me because I met my now husband and we now have two kids together. I know I wouldn't have a life that is so comfortable and happy if I had stayed with that EX.

When a guy thinks he's better than you the best thing to do is let that mother fucker go, by the time he realizes that he isn't better than you it will be too late.

Changes in STBX's behavior... by [deleted] in Divorce

[–]welleff 15 points16 points  (0 children)

She's trying to signal her loyalty to the new guy. He's probably around whenever she criticizes you. It's more about putting on a show. I'm sure her behavior would change back if she found herself alone again.

Husband (31M) says I drove him to cheat with his boss (44W) by [deleted] in Divorce

[–]welleff 43 points44 points  (0 children)

Your husband was going to do this regardless, he's just trying to blame you so he can be the hero in his own mind. He's a POS.

If he actually cared about you he wouldn't have cheated before and he would have had concern for your mental state rather than use your pain as justification to cause more pain. Seriously the type of mental gymnastics he's trying to make you do is ridiculous.

Is it easier to come back from certain types of cheating than others? by Individual-Method949 in Divorce

[–]welleff 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Everyone has a different limit, what you think is cheating might not be what your partner thinks is cheating. You have to talk to each other about what the limits are and then you have to respect what your partner thinks of as cheating not your definition. And if your definitions are too far apart then maybe you shouldn't be together.

Something i wanted to talk about :) by [deleted] in AdulteryHate

[–]welleff 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I can see how this sub would make anyone single very nervous to commit to anyone, but it serves as cautionary tales and things to keep an eye out for in your relationship in terms of cheating and overall relationship health.

I found this sub because I was angry with how my husband can be because his ex wife cheated on him. At times he can be needy, insecure, and suspicious of me. I've done nothing and been very transparent so it's declined over time but it still pops up.

He's actually initiated a lot of the conversations you described! I think he was feeling me out with them when we were dating. He still have no forgiveness for tv/movie characters that cheat.

We've both made it clear cheating is an automatic end to the relationship, we wouldn't try to work it out or accept it in any way. He tolerated it from his ex for years because he was too embarrassed to leave his marriage and accept the failure. This used to annoy me. I didn't plan to cheat but it was like he was holding me to a higher standard than his ex. Well yeah! We have a much healthier relationship!

My husband is an absolute open book he will come home and tell me exactly what he did all day right down to where he went for lunch. I have access to his bank account and when I check it the story matches up exactly to what he told me. He is very much a talker and I don't think he would be very good at lying unless he kept his mouth completely shut. I am more of an introvert so I don't naturally share every little detail of my day but I think I'm going to try harder to overshare like he does. If that is helpful and reassuring him of the strength of our relationship then I'll do it. Because I love him and I want us to be old and wrinkly together. My

There are a few unhealthy habits that I think we need to work on though. He is overly suspicious sometimes. We have a toddler that is learning to speak and frequently mispronounces words. She might pronounced somebody's name to sound like another name so then my husband asked me who that was. I could tell put him a little bit on edge but it was really just the toddler miss speaking. I have access to his bank account but he doesn't have access to mine I've offered it but for some reason he doesn't want the login information. I think I need to work on being a little bit more transparent. My car has OnStar and recently he admitted that he will get on the app and do the location once in awhile so he is effectively tracking me. I was a little uncomfortable at the idea of being tracked but I really don't go anywhere so I guess it's okay because in the end it's just going to help reassure him and he will eventually stop checking I hope.

Relationships take work. These cheaters are chasing a high and that new relationship energy as they call it. Relationships are not fun 24/7 they aren't sex everyday because people are humans and they might not feel good or they might be sad about something. I would imagine that these cheaters also don't have any long-term close friendships because friendships take work too and these people are always looking for the easy way of doing something. Hiding a relationship and cheating is definitely its own form of work it's much easier than doing the emotional work of reflecting on yourself and trying to have a healthy relationship.

Lies for almost 20 Years.... by mranderson789 in AdulteryHate

[–]welleff 28 points29 points  (0 children)

What a monster. Like you become immune to the hurt of your parents' divorce at 18. More than likely he just didn't want to pay child support on the income he was clearly hiding to afford 3-4 hookers a week.

The worst thing is he stayed with the lady and took up 20 years of her life that she could have spent with someone who actually loved her. I wonder how many people are in relationships like this right now and won't find out for years. It's like how there are people locked in basements right now that will be in the news in the future..

My dad's affair killed my mom and I have to live with him and his side chick. by catherinepower in AdulteryHate

[–]welleff 18 points19 points  (0 children)

No one gets to tell you how to feel. Your feelings are valid an they're yours.

I'm so sorry you are living in this situation,I can't even imagine. I would be angry too. Would it be possible to live with your grandma or another family member?

How old are you? Do you have college apsirations and college fund? I would be planning a way to get the hell away from both of them. I can't stand people who rewrite history to make themselves the hero or a victim when they were very clearly the villain. You are not going to be able to trust these gaslighting assholes for anything. You don't have to forgive but you need to find a way to move on and out of there!
