    I'll never forget it.
    We were at the kitchen table.
    I looked straight into her eyes and asked her;
    'Did you renege on me?!'

    She haughtily threw down her cards and coldly walked off.

    I'm convinced my conniving Toaster is using some sort of app to cheat at electronic Scrabble.

    An ex cheated on me.

    I could handle the actual cheating, but it was her gaslighting & lying which bothered me the most.

    People can make mistakes, but when someone proves you really can't trust them, it's over.

    Forget the wife. The cat has been found talking to Alexa. They are up to no good ...

    yes the sneaking around and the lies over the years, it's a bit hard to shake off. If they don't love you anymore why can't they just tell you and everyone can move on.:mad:

    Got cheated on once too.
    You know what makes her more of a cu*t tho? :pac: when her blatant lies were being obvious and something was going on she looked me dead in the eye and said it was all in my head and I was being paranoid. I would later find out eveything. of course not through her. could never tell the truth.

    what. a. cu*t.

    I think people like that can't even be honest with themselves. Really would like to know how someone like that's mind works. Is it a case of "this guy is so fking stupid I can just say I'm doing nothing wrong and he'll believe me and I can go on riding on the side" or is it "I am perfect so it's impossible for someone perfect like me to be doing something like this therefore he's imagining it" ....

    Why not just call it a day? Bizarre.

    Things my ex-wife said to me: It's not you, it's me. I need to get my head together. You're the only one I've ever loved. There's no one else.

    Things my ex-wife did: Had a child (with the 'no one else'). Lived with him. Married him.

    Good riddance. :pac:

    World smallest violin part: She's now a widow.

    Not directly hurt by a cheating wife, it was her husband that did most of the damage.

    I gave him lung cancer.

    Although many would claim it was the fags...

    I read a book once that referenced a huge DNA study - a lot more children turned out to be illegitimate that you would think. A lot more.

    C**t does'nt even begin to describe these, when you find out all the pieces seem to fit into place, the things they said and did at that time seem out of place for them to be saying.

    The one chap I'd suspicions about ended up living with her and getting married too her. 🀣
    But i was a paranoid freak and it was really insulting that I'd be so suspicious ...haha

    Seems plenty of same stories as above .stupid lies and getting caught out by change of behaviour...

    In answering the OP I was pissed off cos we'd a kid together and felt bad for him but was delighted when she left. She had sucked the joy out of everything with her lies and deception.

    Was kinda funny I helped her move out of the house and a card from your man fell out of the box I was carrying. I laughed as I handed it to her...

    I'd a really good few years enjoying myself. Met somebody else then and got married again...like a dope...ha...actually no it's completely different now. Actually what I had previous was a disaster compared to my marriage now.

    I see my son (he 17 now) whenever I want so it's all good. Dont see her much cos i deal with my son. She pretty much dead to me...bar occasional whatsapps.

    I'm sure those DNA kits that are becoming big sellers are exposing quite a lot of that.

    Not a wife, but my long term partner had an affair. We broke up around 9 months ago.


    The cheating isn't that bad. It's painful, but like everyone said already, the lies are worse.


    What hurt me the most is a toss up between two things - knowing that he was too busy shagging her while I was on the brink of death in hospital with sepsis to visit, that hurt.

    Or that because I have a mental illness (which has been stable and unmedicated for 4 years), he convinced me I was mentally unwell again and imagining it, to the point where I went to my doctor seeking help. Thankfully she reassured me I wasn't unwell :)


    But they hurt an awful lot more than the cheating. Cheating is bad, but the callous, nasty stuff is far worse.


    But sure it's grand. These things happen. We've all been through relationships that turned bad, and we all get through them :) i wish the two of them a long, happy relationship because the longer they're happy together, the longer they're not hurting people :)

    I know the type! Blatant blatant lies that she even trips herself up on . Nothing better than lying to me in front of her friends, who all nod and agree even though most, if not all of them know exactly what she’s like. In my case she was narcissistic fcuking psychopath. Good riddance

    Ah sure there's no point in having a bad attitude about it, that won't make my life any better. :)


    He obviously wasn't the right man for me despite what i thought, so meh, i genuinely hope he's found whatever it is he's looking for.

    the bit about your mental issues and how he/she treated you is so true . Google tells me it’s called Gaslighting. Stay strong.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,768 ✭✭✭Lotus Flower


    Dalomanakora, well done on staying so strong. A nightmare scenario


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 608 ✭✭✭Dalomanakora


    Thanks for the really kind posts!


    I'm all good though! My doctor telling me I was still healthy and stable was enough to renew some strength in me. I was mad to even allow someone's actions to have that kind of effect on me. But you live and learn :) I'm happy now anyway so no harm done really!

    I have a similar outlook around humans and the mistakes we can make. An ex cheated on me and broke down and confessed. I actually felt sorry for her at the time. She was genuinely remorseful.

    We tried to make it work but to be honest the trust was gone so I called it a day.

    Illegitimate means born out of wedlock, not that the mother cheated.
    So a DNA test won't tell you that, only a birth cert and marriage cert.
