Being cheated on blows. It kills your self-esteem, destroys your ability to trust, and breaks your heart. Not only have I been cheated on, but I’ve been cheated on in some of the most ridiculous ways ever. It ruined me at the time, but I can laugh about it now. Here are some of the ridiculous ways I’ve been cheated on:
- Craigslist. I accidentally discovered this one while using my boyfriend’s computer to do some school work. I went to log into my Gmail, but his account was still up. The “creative” titles of the emails caught my eye. He was emailing with girls from CL who promised to do filthy, dirty, disgusting things — and he was promising to do them right back! So instead of throwing a fit and flying off of the handle right then, I created a page on CL that mirrored what I had seen in his emails. Low and behold, three days later, my cheating boyfriend sent me an email looking to hook up. I chatted him up for awhile as the mysterious CL woman, copied the whole conversation into my regular email and sent him the entire thing. Needless to say, I broke up with his sorry ass.
- Hooking up with my stalker. My crazy ex cheated on me with a chick who had liked him forever. I never met her, and he always promised me they were just friends, but, her Facebook posts were wildly inappropriate to a guy who was in a long-term relationship with a girlfriend he lived with. Anyway, turns out my ex did in fact sleep with her while we were still together. He justified it by saying it was because she told him I was bringing guys to our home and having sex with them in our bed, even though I was never really home without him. While I was doing some “research” on her, I discovered she was friends with my very long-term boyfriend from high school, and another ex-boyfriend I was on and off with for years. When I asked the other two how they knew her, turns out they had both slept with her, too. Coincidence? I think not. She’s a lunatic.
- His dead best friend’s wife. My same crazy, lunatic ex tragically lost his best friend in a car accident about two years after we started dating. I was overseas when it happened, and he took it really hard because he was in the car too and survived. His deceased best friend’s wife was pregnant at the time of his death, and we made it our mission to spoil the baby and her toddler sister. Well, turns out that while I was spoiling the girls, he was spoiling her in bed after the baby was born. There is a difference between taking care of your best friend’s wife and taking care of her sexual needs. Messed up, much? I think yes.
- With my best friend in my own home. Sure, this is partially on me for not seeing what was going on. My BFF at the time needed a place to stay, so we let her live with us. We were engaged, and he broke it off four months before we were set to be married, and they’re now together. It happened right under my nose and everyone saw it but me.
