Roy Barrows Posted December 11, 2012 Posted December 11, 2012 I've had the same girl friend for five years - the last two years or college and then three years after. She used to flip out if I even talked to another girl. Not in like a crazy way. But she would make her displeasure known. Now, she admits to cheating on me, once - four years ago - in college. And it was with a teammate of mine. She only admitted it because she confided in a friend at the time. And I overheard the friend say something at a party a few weeks ago. When I confronted my gf she admitted it. She was in tears, uncontrollably. Said she made a awful mistake and chalked it up to being young. BUT - this happened while she used to get mad at me for just talking to other girls. What's the mindset? You flip out at the mere thought of being cheated on . . . yet you still cheat? I know that's breaking it down into the simplest form - but what's the rationalization for the person that's doing the cheating.

I know that's breaking it down into the simplest form - but what's the rationalization for the person that's doing the cheating. There's no justification for cheating, and I cannot understand the "reasoning" behind it. However, when my ex used to look at other women and openly talk about how hot she was (in front of me), and had wallpapers of naked women on his phone, when he wasn't around (he used to travel a lot), I used to go out to pubs and flirt with men and exchange numbers. I would not have done it if my ex had not behaved that way, though. And even then, I felt guilty about it.
