What if your girlfriend cheats on you, but you know you deserved it because you've been such an asshole?

Do you take responsibility for your own actions and try to mend the relationship?
Or do you dump her because there's no excuse for cheating?


(I'm not in this situation currently, but I mean... it's definitely a future possibility)

Doesn’t matter. If she’s unhappy then she should leave, cheating is never valid, not for revenge, not out of anger, none of it. If you think you’re being an asshole to your girlfriend and pushing her to the point of cheating one day then either do better as a partner or end the relationship so you can be single or work on yourself.

Aye, that's very true. Thank you.
I'm absolutely trying to straighten up, I just hope it's not too late

Keep doing your best and you got it🙏

[Asker]

I appreciate you saying that. Thank you!

The asshole should take responsibility for being an ass. The cheater should take responsibility for cheating.

[Asker]

Lol, well said

[RavVid]

Dump and do better by the next girl. She should have dumped you instead of cheating.

[Asker]

Well she didn't actually cheat yet lol. I'm just talking hypothetically.
You're not wrong though. It's probably over at that point, and just learn from my mistakes

[RavVid]

No I did read you hadn't been cheated on. I was going with the generalization. At a point though the good will has evaporated and all you can do is move on having learnt

[Asker]

Oh I see what you meant. But yeah that's a good point. There wouldn't be much left to fix after that

[RavVid]

Nah there isn't.

[Asker]

Thanks for the reality check. I'll try not to let it get to that lol

Cheating almost always occurs because something is lacking in the relationship.

[Asker]

Yeah and there's definetely something missing from my end. I'm trying to be better for her, but if she did happen to cheat some time soon, I would kinda understand to be honest

[virtualwasp]

no excuse cheating.

[Asker]

Fair
