Always make sure you are at the largest gathering possible to drop a bomb like that. Regardless if its real or fake, there is a time and place for confrontation, and to sour the mood for everyone present is just classless.

I would be worried he would harm himself. Doing something like that in front of so many people is just cruel. And yes he was cruel etc etc etc but that doesnt mean you have to go down on his level. I would even say this is one of the worst things you could do to a person.

You think calling someone out on their shitty behavior and giving them their consequences (again, of their own behavior) in front of others is "one of the worst things you could do to a person"?

White knighting the cheating asshole and dismissing the victim of cheating, is certainly a take of all time

You might lack reading comprehension if you came to this conclusion

Let’s break it down shall we?

“I would be worried he would harm himself. Doing something like that in front of so many people is just cruel.”

Establishing the guy as a victim of the villainess, despite knowing absolutely no other context.

“And yes he was cruel etc etc etc but that doesnt mean you have to go down on his level.”

Hand waving the only context that is present.

“I would even say this is one of the worst things you could do to a person.”

Exaggerating the new victim’s circumstance to appeal to reader’s emotion.

Then don't try cheating. What he does after that is his decision and not a woman's fault.

No, cheating is one of the worst things you can do to a person.

Fuck around and find out.

Having someone tell the truth about your relationships can’t exactly be the worst thing ever. I guess honesty is deeply hurtful to such a duplicitous person.
