The Other Guy
This guy put a positive spin on his personal cheating story, and we can’t help but applaud his attitude. When he was in college, he dated a girl who was attending another school across the country. It’s pretty hard to maintain a long-distance relationship, so he wasn’t surprised when he noticed his girlfriend spending a lot of time with some other guy.
He was pretty hurt, but he broke up with her. He knew she was drifting away from him and towards this other man. He “saw the writing on the wall” and didn’t want to drag out their relationship any longer than necessary. Our storyteller recently found out that his ex is now happily married to the guy she was emotionally cheating on him with! Instead of being salty about the betrayal, he likes to think that he’s the catalyst that brought them together. That’s one way to look at it!
