When you cheat, you steal the right to fairness.
The next thought that crossed my mind was its his loss.
But I listened to fine details as she questioned herself like it was her fault.
@umuller
Like it was something she did wrong.
Like she was to blame for someones inability to see her worth and value.
And as she ran over details questioning everything and I watched as she broke before me.
@umuller
I saw firsthand the effects cheating had on someone.
And all I wanted to do was hug her and tell her his loss will be someones gain.
When you cheat what you take away from someone is their self-confidence.
Suddenly they are looking at their reflection like theres something they need to improve on and change.
When you cheat what you take away from someone is their self-respect.
You made them look like a fool because you couldnt be loyal.
When you cheat what you take away from someone is the right to the truth.
When you cheat what you take away from someone is disbelieving in love.
Because what you teach them is its a lie.
And they never fully get over that or let someone that close in the future.
Maybe thats why I didnt cry when he owned up to everything.
Maybe thats why I didnt flinch when he admitted it.
Because you dont just get over someone cheating that easily.
I looked at her as I ordered a drink smiling.
Then I looked at him across the room.
Part of me wanted to tell her what I knew.
She deserved the truth.
But she also deserved better.
I just didnt want to be the one to break it to her.
I knew it wasnt in my place.
So I said thank you and I walked away.
When you cheat you ruin them.
You leave them insecure.
You leave them doubting themselves.
So cheat if you want to.
But know the truth no matter how coy you think you are always will get revealed.
