They will swear they will never repeat their mistakes.
They will look you dead in the eyes and promise it will be different this time.
They will make you believe their latest mistake has knocked sense into them.
Ben Weber
They can twist any situation to make it make themselves sound like the victim.
They can turn on the waterworks.
Cheaters know how to elicit sympathy.
They know which buttons to push.
They know how to manipulate your emotions, how to turn you from furious to somewhat understanding.
Cheaters are good at giving apologies.
They are good at giving compliments.
They know what words are going to soften you up.
They know how to tug at your heartstrings.
Cheaters are good at keeping secrets.
Theyre good at covering their tracks.
Theyre good at lying straight to your face.
Even when you suspect them of fooling around behind your back, they can convince you nothing actually happened.
They know how to make themselves seem innocent.
Cheaters are good at making you doubt yourself.
They are good at gaslighting.
They are good at bending reality to fit their own narrative.
They can make you feel silly for wondering whether they had your back.
They can make you second guess every thought that runs through your head.
Cheaters are good at conning you into giving second chances.
They will swear they will never repeat their mistakes.
They will look you dead in the eyes and promise it will be different this time.
They will make you believe their latest mistake has knocked sense into them.
Cheaters are good at pretending theyve changed.
For at least a little while, they can act like theyve matured.
They can surprise you with flowers and planned dates.
They can spend every waking moment dedicated to making you happy.
They can make it seem like theyve made major life changes.
They can fool you into believing theyre back to being the sweetheart you first met.
But that charade only lasts for a little while.
They are good at repeating the same cycle again and again.
