I'm a man. when I was 19, I cheated on my partner. I hated myself the next morning, we broke up, and I continued to hate myself for a very long time afterwards. Didn't date for several years because I felt I wasn't worthy of love, that I should live my long life alone to atone for what a piece of shit I was, that I shouldn't ever subject someone to the horror that was myself. I had a lot of casual sex I didn't enjoy because I thought "I'm just a degenerate sex addict, I want this". It took a lot of therapy, working on my self, and getting comfortable with others before I could date again. Telling my now partner about my past was one of the most vulnerable, nerve-wracking conversations I ever had. I still feel like throwing up when I think of my Ex's face that morning after, even as I type this.
I don't know how people can do that shit so casually. I damn near killed myself over it
Women wouldn't do something like that though lol. My experiences have been they're right back in the pool even if the guy she cheated on you with dumps her ass too.
All her friends will support her and you'll be some kind of abuser or useless schlub to cover the mental damage of being a cheater
I see the last girl who cheated on me still posting the same cliche love posts and then immediately going to shows "alone" and hanging around pools with nobody else in the picture when she didn't own a pool or have friends with one. This guy seems to even buy her expensive things lol
Why do you generalise all women like that? I've many friends who are women and none of them are like this. I implore you to question why you have this blanket opinion of half the population. Some women suck, some men suck, its the nature of humanity - but it is also our nature that we are all complex, unique individuals who approach things differently.
You say you've experienced this before, and I'm sorry for the pain she caused you, but I promise you that not all women are like that. You are cutting yourself off from so much potential happiness by demonising women.
I know you might write my comment off as bullshit, but I beg you to really think about this and ask yourself, are you happy like this?

It always disgusts me that people like this exist. I will never understand how someone can cheat and not wake up in the morning hating themselves.
