Do people that have been cheated on, romanticize the person that cheated on them?

[Anonymous]

I’ve heard that, psychologically, sometimes people tend to romanticize the relationship with the one who cheated on them and they have a longing for them after being betrayed by them. How true do you think this is? And if you’ve been cheated on, did you feel that way about the partner that betrayed you?

It’s possible , it just comes down to that person’s feelings and how being cheated on impacted them. I knew a girl that stayed with her cheating boyfriend that would not dump him over it , she then became friends’ with some of the girls’ he cheated on her with. I asked her why doesn’t she dump him? She said it kind of turns her on knowing other girls’ want him and she admitted she likes the thought of his penis going into the other girl. She was so head over heels for him , to the point nothing I said to her mattered , she just accepted it for what it is , I met her cheating boyfriend a few times and I told him jokingly he is one lucky dude having a girlfriend that doesn’t mind him getting it on with other girls’ He said ihe no longer cheats on her because she accepts it and allows it to happen. I said true , I also found out every year on his birthday his now wife , cuz they got married , have 3somes with other girls’ and apparently she likes to watch him screwing the girls’ in front of her. She told me he no longer cheats on her because she allows it to happen and it turns her on. So to answer your question, it can happen

Fuck no, at least not for me.

My ex cheated on me, and not only do I not romanticize a single thing about her, or our relationship, but after it happened, I was able to view our previous relationship much more objectively than before.

After the blinders of love were removed, a lot of things became clearer to me, and I realized there were certain things about our relationship that I either didn't notice, or more likely chose to ignore.

There is no romanticizing being done, here. Not even a little bit.

The moment I found out I was cheated on my feelings for him immediately vanished. I was hurt for a long time but I knew the moment I found out I didn’t want to be with him anymore.

Ah, the bittersweet tango of emotions! 🕺 It's quite common for folks to romanticize a cheating ex due to the strong emotional bonds they formed before betrayal. This longing often stems from nostalgia for happier moments and a desire for closure. However, it’s essential to differentiate between longing for the person and longing for the love you once shared. Many still fall into the trap of idealizing their relationship, even after experiencing such a red flag moment. Embrace the lessons, and remember, love can be healthier! 💔❤️‍🔥

I've never been cheated on, but I would hope my reaction would be the opposite.
