Real Love: A Question for Women Who Forgive Incessant Cheaters
Being cheated on repeatedly is certainly not something anyone enjoys. The man that I was involved with got busted on more than one occasion. His wife called me. She wanted to know why I was doing what I was doing. *Shrug* I didn’t have an answer for her and even if I was able to communicate it, I certainly was not about to have a tête-à-tête with her. I digress. After our conversation, she wanted me to know that I was not the only one. Another *shrug*. That was not my concern or problem. Why would I expect loyalty from a man who was cheating on his wife? She did not leave him, she went on to have more children with him.
Khloe Kardashian started dating NBA basketball player, Tristan Thompson, while his ex-girlfriend was pregnant with his first child. He went on to cheat with her while she was pregnant. She took him back. A few days ago, it was discovered that he is the father of a new child, the result of him cheating, yet again. It’s unclear whether or not Khloe will forgive and accept him back.
I’ve been on both sides. The cheater. The woman who gets cheated on. I listen to the sad justifications people make for staying. Especially, when there is a child involved or the couple is married.
