βI just kind of assumed we were free to do our own thing when we werenβt with each other. Β From a girl who kept telling me we were absolutely meant to be together and it would completely crush her if I ever cheated. Then when she cheated she said she didnβt feel bad about it, so realized I probably wasnβt the one.βΒ β BigDumbGreenMong
βI invited you to join us, not my fault you said no.β β JohnRTemple99
βI did it for the excitement/thrill of being caught. Told to me by my now ex-wife. She got caught alright. I donβt think it was worth it to her overall though. Which makes me kind of happy, given karma etc.β β arcaiyne_

βIβm polyamorous, so I donβt know why youβre annoyed over it. I wouldnβt have minded this if Iβd known it from the get-go and it wasnβt a couple of months after we started a relationship and were exclusive, with it only coming up after I saw them making out at her front door when I came by to drop off the leggings she left at my place on my way home from work.β β vainbetrayal
