He Broke Up With His Girlfriend Because She Tried To Justify The Reasons Why His Friend Got Cheated On, And He Simply Doesn’t Like Cheaters Or Think There’s Any Excuse For It
A couple of years ago, this man’s friend Chase began a relationship with Melissa, who introduced him to his now ex-girlfriend, Jess.
Both Melissa and Jess were good people and had a lot of interests in common with him and Chase, so the four of them got together all the time.
Two months ago, Melissa was caught in the act of cheating on Chase, and they broke up because of it.
Once their relationship was over, he and Chase have been talking a lot about Melissa’s infidelity, and he’s been Chase’s shoulder to lean on throughout this painful breakup. Chase has been pouring his heart out and telling him everything that’s been on his mind.
“At home, I had been mentioning that Chase was pretty beat up about this and asking why Melissa even cheated in the first place. Jess gave a couple of lame reasons that Melissa had given and even agreed that they were valid. It was silly stuff like, ‘He spends too much time in the garage. He barely makes time for me. I felt like we were distancing,'” he said.
From what he’s seen, Chase always carved out plenty of time to devote to Melissa. In the past, he and Chase have both separately canceled the plans they’d made together so that they could instead spend quality time with their girlfriends.
He acknowledged that sometimes romantic feelings fade over time in relationships.
However, he despises it when people don’t tell the truth, and he doesn’t think any of Melissa’s excuses that she gave were enough to excuse her infidelity.
“Because Jess was defending Melissa’s cheating, I was getting kind of thrown off. In my eyes, there are almost no reasons to cheat. Breaking someone’s trust like that is borderline evil,” he explained.

During the conversation with Jess, he expressed his opinion that defending cheating behavior was unacceptable.
In response, Jess stood by her views, repeating what Melissa claimed about how she didn’t believe that Chase was focusing on their relationship enough, and Jess said that this was reason enough for Melissa to seek attention from someone else. He and Jess fought back and forth a bit longer, but the conversation eventually ended with no resolution.
“For the next couple of weeks, this idea that Jess was okay with cheating kept bothering me. If she’s okay with her friend doing it, then what’s stopping her from cheating on me?” he shared.
He attempted to have a talk with Jess about this, but the conversation was unproductive.
After their discussion, he ended their relationship because he didn’t envision himself dating someone who could justify the actions of those who cheated on their partners.
Once some of his friends heard about the breakup, they told him he was a jerk.
In their opinion, he and Jess had a fantastic relationship, and they felt like he was throwing everything away over one topic that they didn’t see eye to eye on.
Jess has never been unfaithful in a relationship, so some of his friends think he was being overdramatic with her reaction to Melissa cheating on Chase.
Since so many people have disagreed with his choice to break up with Jess, he’s wondering if he made the wrong decision.
