User “crisomeagle1.” "I went away for the summer to work at a summer stock theatre. My girlfriend at the time and I had been dating on and off for about a year. Things started off well, we talked and texted everyday. After a while talking every day turned to once or twice a week. About the last month into my contract this girl that had been hitting on me all summer made a move and I just went with it. It was very no strings attached. She didn't know I had a girlfriend and I never told anybody, because nobody ever asked. After my contract was up and I went home, my girlfriend was waiting on me and she was so happy to see me that she was in tears. It destroyed me. I was happy to see her too, but knowing what I did just crushed me. I never once felt bad about it until that moment. I immediately told her, I felt so guilty and knew I had to tell her. Her happy tears turned to sad and angry ones. She yelled and cried and yelled more. I ended the relationship, because I thought she deserved someone better than me. We still keep in touch and are friends, but I always wonder what would have happened had I not cheated. She's forgiven me, but I haven't forgiven myself. This was several years ago and I still feel like a piece of sh*t.”
User “MyGymEatsBad.” "Yeah after it happen I realized I didn't love my SO so I broke it off. The guilt of cheating made me realise I wasn't the best boyfriend so I spent a year working on myself and waiting until I found the right girl, I eventually did and in a month it'll be our three year anniversary so, eh! I guess things do work out sometimes”
User “elizabethbrooks.” "I didn't love him anymore. It had been a year since we last had sex or even kissed. It was an unhealthy relationship to say the least. I went out one night and got too drunk and hooked up with someone. That's how I realized I didn't love them, because I didn't even feel guilty after. It was such I relief to experience human contact again. I ended things shortly after. He doesn't know, telling him what I did would have made a bad break up even worse. I am a human trashcan."
User “Jeffrey_Jizzbags.” "Didn't get caught. Was having second thoughts about my gf anyway, and I made out with another girl while drunk at a bar. Broke up with my gf like a week later for a few other reasons. Never told her as it would just make her question herself. Better for her happiness that she never found out. Still bothers me that I did that, and won't ever do it again."
User “Socalcouple2017.” "Throwaway. My current wife and I were madly, deeply in love with one another, but we were both married to other people. When we found out how we both felt about one another, we immediately started dating, including sleeping with one another.
This carried on for a year and a half, until we left our spouses for each other.
We both feel absolutely terrible about being unfaithful to our spouses, but are insatiably in love with one another. We had both just married, young, and with the wrong people. Our lives now are a night and day difference from what they once were. I'm simultaneously guilt-ridden for what I put my last wife through and eternally grateful that I met my current wife. It has been three years now since we've gone public with our relationship, and I've never been a happier person."
User “throwawybadme.” "My husband and I got together when I was very young, and quickly had a couple kids. Now, 15 years later, I realize I no longer love him. Anytime I have ever brought up an issue in our relationship he's either become defensive, or mopey and makes me feel sorry for him. He's done things that were bordering on sexual assault (sex with me while I was asleep, long after I'd told him to stop because it made me feel horrible), and I really feel like his lack of respect just can never make him desirable to me again.
However, we simply just can't afford to split up. I gently brought up having an open marriage a couple years ago, but he freaked out about that. I've expressed my feelings about no longer being attracted to him, and he's put in effort for a short time, then reverted back to normal. So, I realized the only way I'm going to be even remotely happy and emotionally/sexually fulfilled for the next 10 years or more, is to try to find someone else."
User “Scabscratcher.” "I cheated twice in one week, I have never been that kind of person and the guilt has been eating away at me from the inside out, that's why I stopped. I have told no one. However I will say it was probably one on my favorite experiences not the lying or sneaking around but the feeling that SOMEONE wants me. I have been married for 5 years my husband and I were on questionably drugs when we met so sex was never really a topic or even possible during come downs. What I thought was love was a confusing flood of emotions while going through detox. After it was over we had a connection that I just couldn't walk away from and saying 'I love you' so many times you start to believe that this is what love is. I rarely get sex and when I do it's nothing special, Im always going the extra mile to please him but does nothing (sexually) for me in return. I get emotionally punished for watching porn. However I'm not going to do anything about it because I HATE confrentation, hate hurting people, will always take someone back even though I know I shouldn't, afraid of social interaction, I can't make rent without him. Thanks for listening."
User “Bittersweetreality.” "I was in an emotionally abusive relationship. There were screaming fights, several late nights, isolation, many thoughts of suicide. I wanted to get out so badly, but I was so broken and had been in the situation long enough killing myself felt like the better idea. Like if I couldn't make him happy, then I didn't deserve to live.
And then I started cheating. Dating apps became my best friend. Hookups, no friendships, no relationships, just nights where I didn't have to feel like I was useless. I slept with a lot of people, because if I could bring pleasure to them and make them happy, then my life meant something."
User “Bittersweetreality.” "When I managed to get free, because I left university and went home for Christmas several hours away, that was when I got free.
I don't regret cheating on him. At. All. You don't deserve to keep someone faithful to you if you can't even treat them like they're human.
For a while, I did beat myself up, but not anymore. I did what I had to do to get through a bad situation. And I'm happy now. With someone better. In an open relationship."
User “BrownEyed_Squirrel.” "Our relationship had been failing for the better part of a year, and in no small part thanks to an unsatisfactory sex life. We would normally go about two weeks in between having sex, and he refused to go down on me, ever. I brought it up and it turned into a massive fight and never improved. Shortly after, I went to see my family in my home state for the holidays and ran into a former flame in a group setting. There was a lot of alcohol involved and we hooked up after leaving the bars. My SO and I broke up almost immediately after coming back from the holidays, he doesn't know that I cheated, but he agreed that we both knew for a while that the relationship was dead. Honestly, if he had cheated in that same time frame, I wouldn't really blame him. Neither of us were very happy and were both staying in it out of convenience."
User “Billitchillit.” "Not in a relationship, but I am sleeping with a girl who is, and I am questioning myself whether to stop or not.
Basically long story short came out of a 2 year relationship a month ago and met up with a girl I've known since school (we first met age 11 now we are both 20) I always felt like we had an attraction to each other and she admitted she had a crush on me one thing lead to another and we slept together. This has happened 2 more times since then. Now heres my dilemma she's been in a relationship with her boyfriend for 4 years and she also happens to be best friends with one of my previous ex's (I introduced them) So i don't want to turn her world upside by her being found out, so I should ignore her advances right? but at the same time we do both enjoy each other's company and its difficult to resist 1 am booty calls involving beer and mario kart, and its not like they're married? Im definitely a scum bag for doing it, but I have to ask myself if I care?"
User “Hypnoticah.” "I get bored easy and disengage when I do. I like new things, new people, I get attached fast and it goes one of two ways: they also get attached and I cool off pretty quick or they don't attach and I get twisted up over wanting what I can't have.
This happened with people outside my relationships regularly, showed no signs of stopping, tried a partner in an open relationship and it didn't work so basically, I didn't and won't stop so I've grown up some recognized that and avoid relationships now in favor of an intense 2-3 week connection every so often."
User “Wreck_Me_Ralph.” "The opportunity presented itself and was too good to pass on. I did stop after far too many lies and a fledgling guilty conscience."
User “kiraskyrim.” "I love my husband. My cheating was a result of mental illness and selfishness. I wanted to feel wanted and I took it too far. I still have doubts about his feelings for me, but he's still here, he's still trying and I need to focus on what I have, not what I think I want."
