She Broke Up With Her Boyfriend Because He Believes Couples Cheat On Each Other All The Time And It’s Not A Big Deal
When you enter a relationship, it’s important that you and your partner share some of the same values and beliefs surrounding certain topics.
For instance, it’s crucial that you both are on the same page when it comes to major deal breakers–such as cheating.
A woman ultimately broke up with her boyfriend after he shockingly revealed that he actually did not think cheating was that big of an issue.
She and her boyfriend are in their early 20s and recently had a conversation that changed their entire relationship dynamic.
They were talking about her boyfriend’s friend, who was just dumped by his girlfriend since he was busted for having an affair.
She told her boyfriend his friend deserved to be dumped, given what he did.
To her surprise, he became “weirdly defensive” and responded that he didn’t believe his friend did anything that severe and that his actions definitely didn’t warrant him getting broken up with.
“I was admittedly shocked because he had genuinely never said anything like this before, so I asked him to explain what he meant in more detail,” she recalled.
“He proceeded to say that couples cheat on each other all the time and then stay together, so ‘clearly,’ it’s not serious.”

She was baffled by what her boyfriend was suggesting and asked if he was implying that he had cheated on her, and he tried to assure her that he hadn’t and never would.
She opted to change the subject at the time and brush off her boyfriend‘s comments, but she couldn’t stop thinking about them.
“Cheating goes against all of my moral principles when it comes to a relationship, and him so casually writing it off and saying it’s not serious was really jarring to hear,” she explained.
Due to the fact that his words bothered her so much, she wound up talking to her boyfriend about what he said the next day, and unfortunately for her, he doubled down on his beliefs.
She then decided to tell him she didn’t feel comfortable continuing their relationship since they had different perspectives regarding cheating, which is an issue she feels very passionately about.
Her boyfriend ended up leaving her, and she hasn’t heard from him for a week.
She spoke to some of her friends about what happened, and many understood where she was coming from. However, one claimed she was being dramatic and shouldn’t have ended things with her boyfriend because he didn’t cheat on her.
She understands that her boyfriend did not act unfaithfully, but she simply doesn’t recognize him after their discussion, especially given how he defended something she was strongly against.
Was she wrong to call it quits with her boyfriend, or did she make the right move?
