And what if you were being cheated on? How would you want to find out, from the cheater or a friend?



I'd want to find out immediately, be it from the cheater or a friend of either of us. Although, a cheater isn't likely to be the one to confess on their own, otherwise they wouldn't have the audacity to be a simultaneous lover it in the first place. The excuses are usually something like "I wanted to see if what I feel for him was better than what I feel for you." or "I never meant to do it; it was an ACCIDENT" {Duh, I slipped and I fell and my spilled blood looked like the words 'let's go on a date and not tell anybody about it' and he read it exactly as it appeared and I thought he was asking me out, oh and my voice went numb in a weird way so I couldn't say anything containing the letters "n" and "o"} that make as much sense as a screen door in a submarine.

*ahem*

Well see, suppose you believe that there's but one woman meant for each of us men, one perfect angel for whom we are put on this earth.

ONE winsome tulip we ceaselessly yearn for throughout our dreary work-a-day lives.

If and when you believe in your deepest heart and mind that you have found the one, and that the other feels the same way, how does being with someone else come into the equation? Does it not ruin the rest of your day if you two get into a measly fight over who ate most of the chee-tos? Do you not see their delicate face everywhere you look? Do you not hear their voice whenever you listen? Do you not feel their presence in the room, even though they've just stepped outside to get something they left in their car?

If the other person is misleading you into thinking these thoughts and isn't being at least similarly true to you, chances are they have no intention of confessing anything until they're trapped into it.

So, I'd expect a friend to make the confession.

If I may add this question that a co-worker once asked me: If you found out you were cheated on, would you continue to see them?
