About Cheating

Hi guys!
Yes, I'm still here. No need to be that surprised.

So, yeah. This is going to be more or less the first post that actually fulfills the original intent of this whole blog. Y'see, this rant has nothing to do with my life per se, it's just something that annoys me and I want to rant about it.

Well, except for that.

The topic, as you may have noticed, is cheaters. I know I'm kinda on a high horse here, but I tend to think that that kind of behavior is simply inexcusable. Which is why I want to address few of the most common excuses used by cheaters, after they get caught or confess.

This one doesn't need a caption.

Please note that while the examples I use are mostly about sex, most of these apply to other forms of cheating as well.

Yes, for some people it constitutes as cheating.

"I was lonely."
This one pops up when the cheating has took place while either the significant other or the cheater has been on a trip, or the relationship is long-distance.
Well, guess what, grasshopper: If the SO was worth the loneliness, they were quite lonely, too. However, only one of you decided to suck it up and suffer, while the other found it easier to seek some extramarital activities. Guess which one of you sucks?

"It was just sex."
Oh, boy. Other way to phrase this one is "she [or he] doesn't mean anything to me."
So, if they didn't, then why did you decide to get intimate with them? I mean, the issue isn't whether or not your partner-in-crime means anything, it is whether your relationship and your SO do. And, quite frankly, if you decide to get some meaningless sex just because, the answer seems to be "no, they don't".

"It was with a girl, so it doesn't count."
According to the internets, this one is disturbingly common. There is a certain breed of women that seem to be under impression that cheating (on a guy) with a girl somehow makes it acceptable. What's worse, there seems to be a breed of guys that actually agree with this twisted logic, on the grounds of "Girl On Girl Is Hot". In case you're wondering, no, it does not in some magical way make it acceptable.

"It just happened."
This is my personal favorite. You see, I don't think sex is something that "just happens". Or, more specifically, if sex "just happened", chances are you have been raped. Contact the police.
No, seriously. Sex is something that happens between people. And both parties need to make a decision for it to happen consensually.

"Our relationship is at its end anyway." 
This one is a bit rarer than the previous ones. It's also a bit more fair, since if one of the parties does cheat, it more often than not does signal the end of the relationship. However... the pathetic waste of space that tries to use this excuse, why couldn't you have, i'unno, broken up the relationship before starting to screw around (literally).

Bottom line is that there just are no situations where cheating is excusable.

Even if you have something in common.

Yeah, thank you for letting me get that off my chest. As always, if you have something to say about the subject, please tell me so in the comment section. (You never do.)
