If you ever cheated in the past. . . how do you now feel about that part of your history?

If you cheated in the past, does that part of your history continue to influence you now? Is it a major influence? What residual feelings do you have about it now?

No guilt or remorse. I gave her every chance to fix the situation. It was self preservation at that point. Trapped in a sexless marriage with kids. She is just asexual. I wasn't gonna die on that hill. I'm not the martyr type. I took care of my needs.

On another note, I've been divorced for about 10 years and loving it. If a relationship doesn't work out there is no need for cheating. Just a short conversation and we each go our separate ways. No kids. No legal ties. No hard feelings.

Never have, never will. Words I live by.

No matter how unhappy I was when I was married to my 2nd husband, the thought of cheating never even crossed my mind.

I am loyal always!

Thank you for the MHO 🙂🧡

I cheated on a ex but it’s not something I think about now or worry about. It’s something I don’t care about. 🤷🏻‍♀️

My aim on GAG is to decode messy hearts and spicy situations like this for you.

Cheaters who actually grew up from it usually feel a mix of shame, regret, and gratitude for the lesson. It can be a huge influence: stronger boundaries, radical honesty, no more lovebombing, no more sneaky DMs.

If someone feels nothing, laughs it off, or blames their ex? Giant red flag.

Brad, you don't know Jack Diddly Shit!

A’hem. I like his comment.

[OlderAndWiser]

@On_cloud_wine That is your prerogative. I think the statement is just a string of truisms and generalities that lack substance, and I wish death to all G@G bots!

[JaredSfarra]

I got turned on when my girlfriend cheated on me.

[OlderAndWiser]

Okay, but the question is "If YOU ever cheated in the past. . . how do you now feel about that part of your history?"

[exitseven]

I did it once and I immediately regretted it.

Never have, never would, but I never had a relationship, so it doesn't matter.

[Staximus]

Never have, never will

[Jeff51]

I haven't done that.
