He’s Pretending To Have Forgiven His Girlfriend For Cheating Just So He Can Continue Hooking Up With Her Until He Finds Someone Else And Give Her A Taste Of Her Own Medicine In The Process
This 28-year-old guy is currently dating his girlfriend, who is 22. Yet, just one month into their relationship, she actually cheated on him.
Now, after finding out that she was unfaithful, he was really heartbroken. After all, he genuinely loved her.
However, he didn’t rush to take the typical course of action and break up with his girlfriend. Instead, he has actually remained in their relationship and pretended to forgive her!
In his mind, there are two benefits to this. First of all, he is already really busy working and pursuing his master’s degree.
So, he has no time to start pursuing another partner and would rather work on getting over his girlfriend while still sleeping with her.
On top of that, he firmly believes that people should “hurt those who hurt them.” That’s why he wants to get revenge on his girlfriend.
“My girlfriend is a liar, a cheater, and to get her to be honest with you and herself is a monumental task,” he explained.
He knows that some people might attribute these qualities to the fact that she’s on the younger side. He, on the other hand, believes youth has nothing to do with it.
“So I’m basically giving her a taste of her own medicine– lying about wanting to work things out just so I can relieve some physical and mental stress with [hookups],” he revealed.

He genuinely thinks this is a more convenient path for him to take right now, given his work and schooling. Plus, he thinks he’s getting back at his girlfriend in the process.
He also pointed out how, when they first started dating, his girlfriend forced him to cut contact with every single girl he knew before they even met!
“So I have no one to help in that department. Once I get someone new, I’ll officially let her go,” he reasoned.
Lastly, he really does think that he can move on while “pretending” to date his girlfriend– even if it might seem highly unlikely to some.
“I love her. A part of me still does. But I’m getting over her. I can feel it,” he said.
Now, the only real question he’s been left wondering is if flat-out pretending to have forgiven his girlfriend for cheating and stringing her along like this is really a horrible thing to do or not.
Do you think that his girlfriend deserves this? Regardless, should he rise above instead of stooping to her level? What would you do?
