When I was 15 my :airquote: high school sweetheart :airquote: of 5 months had given me her AOL password when we first started dating for some reason. I had always met her at her job when her shift ended (she worked at a bakery) and one night she called my house to tell me not to come because her cousin was in town and was going to meet her there. I hung out with her the next day and she never mentioned the cousin which I thought was weird.

When I got home, suspicious, I decided to log onto her AOL account and in her sent folder was a long email she sent to her coworker about how she liked kissing him that night (the night before) and she didn't know if it was going to work out but she's willing to try or something. I don't remember the exact words because this is a long time ago.

Anyway what I ended up doing was calling her beeper and leaving a voice message (this was the late 90s; beepers had voicemail at that time) and all I did was read the email out loud. I didn't do it angrily or anything. I just read it like I was reading a newspaper. In hindsight it was a pretty funny way to break up with her but at the time I wanted her to have that horrible pit in her stomach when she listened to it kind of like how it felt reading that email.

Your big "I got burned in a relationship" story is 20 years old, from you as a 15 year old and involves AOL.

It wasn't big but it felt like poo poo.

My other relationships were ridiculously long (one with a girl from 17 to 20 and the next was 21 to current, now my wife) so luckily neither of them cheated on me or at the very least didn't let me find out

So yeah I haven't exactly dated enough different women to have any more recent cheating stories

at the same time, why the gently caress are you even involved with your ex in the first place? you are worried about the welfare of her child, but at the same time, don't want the responsibility of causing 'harm' by revealing a terrible truth. the third option is to cut ties with her completely, but you don't seem willing for that either so, which is the lesser evil?

I just talk to her now and then to see how she's doing because she does the same with me, recently she casually dropped that she's loving someone else. She lives a state away from me so we keep in touch but I'm not involved in her life.

I'm not trying to get involved in her life and open up a can of worms, I don't even know her husband.

Being cheated on feels awesome, especially when it happens more than once in your 20's. I've found it does wonders when it comes to forming relationships later in life.

also i hate to agree with yug but you would be surprised the type of selfish poo poo normally well meaning and good people can do from time to time. plenty of men/women wouldn't but plenty of otherwise good women in good relationships, or vice versa, will do so given the right situation.

the idea that a cheater is a terrible person and always was or will be because of it is either naive or born out of jealousy and resentment. that being said i have hard time trusting anyone that's cheated. also i have a hard time respecting someone who wants out of a relationship but doesn't have the guts to end it so they cheat.

Two other disgusting facets of cheating:

1) I've known men who will cheat with women that are huge downgrades. Men married to women that cheat with someone older, fatter, uglier. I guess the same old sex can be very tiresome (I don't know what it's like to be married for 5+ years, all my longest relationships are around 2-3 years,) and the desire for something new and different can steer men in strange directions. It perplexes me, but doesn't at the same time.

2) Some women are much more likely to cheat when it comes to celebrities. Even minor or local ones. I've seen women say goodnight to their significant other, watch them walk out the door, and walk right over to the VIP section, backstage area, or tour bus outside and immediately get in line with the other women for a chance to hook up. It's another thing that perplexes me but doesn't. I'm not a paranoid or jealous type, women will always have guy friends, but I draw the line when it comes to hanging with celebs.

This is why I've always thought it was weird when people talked about their "free pass" celebrity crushes. Like I understand that it's never actually gonna come up but it's still not really a good thing to hear that someone with enough wealth/fame/looks is an exception to monogamy rules and I never really did get why this was a thing some people joke about.

It's because in a normal relationship this conversation is a joke and not some kind of binding contract.

I kinda thought that went without saying and using the phrase 'monogamy rules' with a straight face, but, drat, goons...
