Cheating Excuses

Oh My Gee, have I been sleeping under a rock for the past few years or am I really that dang gullible? For all my twit-junkies out there, you guys know the TT (Trending Topic) is #Cheatingexcuses. I won't lie, when I first started looking at the comments, I was laughing, it was mad funny. As I continued to look at more of the comments, I started to get a huge dose of reality, I've been had. MUTHA__CKAS !

People close to me always telling me that I'm too trusting and too gullibe, but I've always thought I was simply very optimistic. Instead of thinking that I was getting played, I'd put my trust in my better half, hoping that my trust wouldn't become betrayed. Sucks to be me huh??? Been learning the hard way that people just can't be trusted.

Like foreal, I am NO angel, but when it comes to relationships, I try to be as fair as my human condition allows. To me, cheating is something I was RAISED not to do. My dad was a cheater and NO MATTER WHAT, my mother stayed faithful and always told me to do the same. She would always say that cheating is disrespectful to spouse and self and I grew up with that mind set. Don't get me wrong, there have been times where I WANTED TO CHEAT SO BAD! Times where I was heartbroken and lied that I've cheated in order to make a person feel worse than they've made me feel, but when it came down to the action, I would always hear my mother's voice in my head saying "It's better to break up than to cheat" and come to find out, that's a #cheatingexcuse too!

Now I'm sitting here thinking that I should've went with my desires and cheated on the jerks who played me, but at the same time, what would that have solved? With the way I was raised, it would've resulted in me feeling bad, D@mn my mother, why did she have to raise me so old-fashioned!

Now go figure, Dr. Phil is on and the topic is: "How to Spot a Liar, Confront a Cheat and Escape a Scam Artist" Right on time, I need this...
