27 Men Who Took Back Their Cheating SO Share Why And Whether It Was Worth It Or Not

3. An Absolute Nightmare Relationship

Not worth it. I proposed and moved across the country (where she had moved a couple years into our relationship). She was the kind of person who almost bullies you into trusting her. This was before I understood projecting, so when she was so afraid of me cheating, I figured then that she would never do something to hurt me like she was afraid of being hurt.

So yeah, I proposed and moved out there. Three days into it, I notice her acting strange around a coworker, so I trip her up. Suddenly she starts crying and saying that she loved him. The next day, she chalked it up to being drunk and admitted to having an innocent work flirtation that would not continue now that we were finally together.

She was very sweet in the next couple of days, but then picked a fight. Words escalated, and we called each other names. I was still so upset that I lost control and called her a slut. She then somehow manipulated the situation to where I was now the one that hurt her, and acted as though we were even or something. I don’t know if I was exhausted or just too proud to admit how bad of a decision I’d made, but I went along with it and acted as though we had both hurt each other, and that we should start fresh.

So a couple months go by, and I catch her in more and more lies. I even found out that something had happened before this other guy came into the picture. I just tried to ignore it. But eventually, her behavior was even more brazen and cruel. She started going out with work people and staying out until 5 or 6 in the morning, when I was leaving for work. She would be drunk, and usually trying to pick fights. I was afraid to even ask where she was.

A couple of times, she didn’t even come home for a couple days because she couldn’t “handle us right now,” whatever the fuck that meant. I’d finally had enough. We got into an argument after we’d been drinking, and I told her I was done with her. She began hitting me with a computer charger, telling me what a loser I was. Normally, I’d just lock myself in another room until she’d either leave or fall asleep, but instead, I grabbed her by the wrists. I told her that I knew everything she was doing behind my back, and I refused to spend my life with such a dishonest whore. She snapped, grabbed a knife, and slashed at my side, catching me a couple times. So yeah, it didn’t end well.

4. Once A Cheater Always One

Nope. She cheated again. I pretty much assume now that anyone who cheats on their SO absolutely will cheat again and cannot be trusted.

Just the first time tells a lot about a person and how they view themselves, their world, and your place in it. Obviously they are not worthy of your respect so to everyone out there who has ever been cheated on, please learn from my mistake and ditch them fast.

Once a cheater they are a cheater. A cheater you took back, but a cheater nevertheless.
