You know, I love deep conversations, and I had one this weekend that was very valuable concerning Mr. Cheating Spouse. So I was talking to my girlfriend about relationships, and she is clearly much wiser than me. And I just met her, so she had no clue that my husband cheated on me. I told her that I weakened my ‘social life’ for my husband. And it wasn’t like he made me do it. It was just the little things he would say and do that made me feel bad for going out too much. If I went to a networking event, he would say “Why did you take so long to get home”. If I had a weird number on my phone, he would accuse me of cheating, and because I wanted to make him happy, I started going out less and less, until eventually I stopped going out, but the accusations remained. Then my friend stated….
“Often times, especially in relationships, people project what they see in themselves onto others, so if your man is constantly accusing you of cheating, then that is because he might be cheating or might be afraid that he might cheat himself.”
I wanted to say, Why didn’t you tell me this MONTHS ago? After I thought about what she said and talked to my sister, she told me that Halle Berry’s old husband cheated on her (he claims he is a sex addict, wtf?), and that he would constantly accuse her of cheating. So ladies, my site is primarily for post-affair things, but I did want to point it out especially for the future relationships we will get into. I will repeat the quote again because it is so true!!
“Often times, especially in relationships, people project what they see in themselves onto others, so if your man is constantly accusing you of cheating, then that is because he might be cheating or might be afraid that he might cheat himself.”
Have a good day and stay strong!!
