Sonia's Article: Cheaters!

Author: Sonia Maharaj

Cheaters! We have all met a cheater. What to do if he happens to be your boyfriend? How to react? Well I am sure I am not exaggerating when I say you want to kick his ass! You’re hurting and there’s no doubt about it. It’s a good thing that you found out. Either through him (which normally isn’t the case), through someone else or by yourself. Right now, all the feelings and thoughts going through your head is overwhelming. First thing first, Calm down, take a deep breath. You’re going to be fine. You need to remind yourself every single day that you’ll be fine and trust me, that one morning you don’t say it, you’ll know that you have overcome it.

People around you will make comments such as he looked a dog from the beginning or you should have left when you had a chance but what you need to do is tell them to stop. Get your thoughts together. You need to take some time and decide if you want to stay or leave. This will determine your next move which is having a talk with him. You might be thinking what’s the point. This way you let out your feelings towards what you discovered.


If you decide to stay with him then you do need to figure out what went wrong and if your not, I wouldn’t recommend going over it. Why? Reason being, what is the point? If your not staying with him then why do, you want to hurt yourself by figuring out what went wrong. Once you know what went wrong, whether you believe me or not, that information will stay in your mind even when you get into a new relationship.


I believe any one who was cheated on, needs to take some time out for themselves. Right now your self-confidence is shattered and your goal is get it back up. Do something for a chance that makes you happy. Leave him alone and enjoy your single life a little bit. I wouldn’t recommend jumping back into a relationship until you have fully healed.
Now, as we all know, its not just men who cheat. You might have cheated on your guy. If you have, let him know before him finds out on his own. Be very prepared for the consequences. He will be angry with you and may not want anything to do with you but this is something you need to understand and accept.
Don’t keep bugging him. Give him some time to digest the news and if and only if he wants to talk to you, then talk to him. Don’t say things like, you weren’t there for me because I swear, that is the lamest B.S I have heard. You need to apologize for your mistake and ask him what he wants to do now.


Whatever the case is, if you cheated or he did, most of the time, I would say its better to go your separate ways. If either one you decide to get back together, I can guarantee you, how many fights you’ll have every time one of you goes out. Even when you get a phone call, he might think it’s the other guy calling and the same goes for you. You may think it’s that girl calling. What I’m trying to say is that, sometimes the situation gets so bad that the idea of building back the trust in the relationship will never exist.


If you have thought of cheating, break up first then get with the guy. In addition, if you have experienced him cheating on you, use your heart and mind and decide what your next step will be. In any case, life doesn’t end when some one cheats. This should a learning lesson for both parties and continue moving forward in life. Ladies, if you ever feel you weren’t beautiful enough for him to stay committed, slap your self because you are. Your beautiful the way you are and don’t even think about changing something in you for guy.
