No one wants to hear it, but this is the truth:
Everyone who gets cheated on is a fool.
Because no betrayal is ever truly hidden.
Deep down, every person knows.
The colder looks, the delayed messages, the shifting behavior…
But they choose not to see.
Because it doesn’t suit them.
Why?
Because by saying “I love them,” they are actually feeding their own narcissism.
“No, they can’t leave me.”
“I still want them, so they don’t have the right to leave.”
“If I love them, it must continue.”
The same refrain: Me. Me. Me.
That’s why the cheated-on person ignores not the betrayal itself, but their own narcissistic feelings.
They knowingly remain silent.
They choose to swallow their own story.
But know this:
Being cheated on is as much about the other person’s betrayal as it is about your foolish choice to look away.
And the one who turns a blind eye to betrayal becomes complicit in it.
Narcissism disguised as love is the most dangerous poison in relationships.
You say “I love them,” but what you really mean is “I want to possess them.”
And that is why, even when you notice the betrayal, you stay silent: Because being abandoned hurts your ego more.
But make no mistake that silence is not loyalty; it is simply the most foolish form of self deception.
