Cheating Spouse – Excuses
“…You Deserve Better!”
Have you had that excuse tossed at you when you’ve called your spouse out for cheating?
Or perhaps it went something like this: “you’re too good for me!” “I was trying to spare your feelings!” “I didn’t want to upset you with my problems!”
When your spouse is found out as a cheat and they use excuses like the above, it is designed to do one thing!
To make you feel elevated, special and someone who your cheating spouse has the utmost respect and care for. The reality couldn’t be further from the truth.
When your cheating spouse lays those lines on you, they are using reverse psychology: make you feel special, make you realize that they know you’re special so that they gain your sympathy.
They are self-depreciating so that you will empathize with them and absolve them of their guilt and forgive them.
The truth is that they usually have very little respect for you, will struggle to really see where they’ve gone wrong and they will learn very little from being caught out as a cheating spouse.
Most of the cheating spouses who try and use reverse psychology in this way, WILL go back and cheat again. If they can’t accept that they cheat because of who they are, they will do it again.
Don’t let them get away with it.
