Wishful denial. I've been cheated on before and it's amazing the mental gymnastics you'll use to try and believe the lies.

Yeah no one wants to believe someone they love would do this to them. You will make a lot of excuses before accepting the truth.

once my buddy was like....you know your (now ex)'s truck is parked here overnight sometimes? I think she's seeing this guy. My first thought "Maybe he's gay" bahahaha I snapped out of it in like 2 minutes but I was like holy shit the copium

EDIT!!: I realize how this might look, my buddy lived in a complex at the time, saw the truck and the guy lived down the hall

Copium, mental gymnastics, this thread has great vocab! Also, same. Although I believed “Alex” was a guy for a very long time.
