“Wait until he finds out that cheating isn’t just about having sex with someone else.” —u/KyberExcelcior “Needless to say, our friendship didn’t last much longer after that, and neither did her relationship with her boyfriend. I haven’t spoken to her in years, but I’m still in contact with her boyfriend — he has a wonderful wife and family now, so he eventually found the happiness he deserved.” —u/robo-dragon “Maybe he was explaining why he was with you in the first place, and you were the new thing?” —u/MoHtAdY-_- “It was 20-odd years into our relationship, so it was no longer new.” —u/meeez80 “Holy shit — to throw away something that long for a freaking ex. … I am so sorry. I went through something similar, but it was ‘only’ seven years, and it was with a co-worker of his rather than an ex. Cheaters are low-life scumbags.” —u/DragonflyGrrl
