I just caught my wife cheating with a trainer at our gym and it’s hurt me so bad I’m so angry and I wanted to go destroy the guy but I didn’t want to kill my career. What also baffles me is my wife acts like she still cares but then I hear her on our cameras talking about me like a dog. Who she has turned into is crazy and she is playing the victim role while I’m the one who had to leave our home because when I found the messages it lead to an altercation so my lawyer thinks it’s best I stay away. But I’m so angry and broken by this whole situation and she wants to rush the process of divorce but I’m not going to rush for her I’m too bitter at this time.

Not cheating is easy! Say no and if your unhappy leave. So tired of people blaming others and social media for their choices!

[laststoph]

Thank you for reminding me why I will never get married again.

[lorddrewcifer]

How come when men feel unappreciated and neglected, we just gotta sit there and take it? That's messed up

[mindsight]

women not feeling appreciated actually means you're not enough for her or that she's making excuse to find other men.

[notebookluvr]

As a woman myself, i can safely say that anyone who cheats, regardless of their gender, is self-centered. That is what you will find at the root. Someone who is only thinking of themselves and their needs. This doesn't mean they are completely selfish in every way, although some may be. It just means they are being completely selfish in this way. You will find self centered behavior at the root of all evil.

They're always blaming men all the time! This is a bunch of bull. The women doesn't feel appreciated. How about the poor guy that is busting his butt all day long to provide. No one gives a damn about him. This is probably why so many guys don't want to get married any more. They already know a terrible percentage of women are going to cheat on them and they will get really hosed when they get divorced too.

[freestate]

People are so weak minded now. They have no self control and adult children running around society.

[urgandma]

don't get married gentlemen, don't fucking do it.

[anthonyp]

ever notice most "relationship experts" are always single? 🤣🤣

[antoniosilveira]

Couples should go to marriage counseling for about three months before they get married, bet a lot of them would not get married after that

Hypocrisy is like: If he cheats, It's his fault, And if she cheats, It's also his fault.
I understand why it is said, "Feminism is a modern version of hypocrisy."

[MikeTXBC]

So let me get this straight. It's the man's fault if he cheats (totally on board with this because it makes sense), but it's ALSO the man's fault if his wife cheats? Why am I not surprised this is the answer in a show where the primary audience demographic are women?

Cheating is a choice. This means everyone is responsible for their own actions.

True, your partner might not have made for the most hospitable home environment (and this affects both men and women), but they didn't force you into cheating. You made that decision on your own, therefore it's your fault because there are other options available.

What if your husband or wife isn't interested in working on the relationship? Then you need to decide if you want to stay in that relationship (probably not a great idea) or divorce. Regardless, you don't cheat.

If the moral implications aren't enough for you, then think about how cheating will look during the divorce settlement. Despite having "no fault" divorces today, the fact is that divorce cases are presided over a judge who's a human being, and no matter how objective they want to be, there will be bias involved and most people detest cheating. So cheating will NOT help your case, and in fact could potentially hurt it, so if you want out of a relationship, don't cheat.

The white woman on the panel is a cheater you can tell from her body language, She has the "I have been caught" look on her face.

[grahamharper]

If it's unacceptable for a man to cheat, then it should be unacceptable for a woman to do it too. Just end the relationship, there is no excuse for cheating, nobody can convince me otherwise.

[mikioni]

The more positive and normal you are, the less girls want you.

[the_chiefs_kid]

I'm never getting into a relationship. As much as I want a wife and kids i already have issues and women are so unfaithful nowadays. I just wanna die, I dont want to be here with this bs anymore

[sterlthepearl]

In the dating game, as soon as we leave, memories slowly fade, and new flirtations arise.

[truredp]

She's never Yours it's just your turn.

[deannarobinson]

Cheating is a choice I can take accountability for my actions and I made selfish choices. Ladies stop blaming men for a mistake that can be avoided.
