    Based on the guy’s body language, feels like a recreation of this:

    Which was apparently a woman getting help with a divorce or something (IIRC)

      This may be phase 1 of the break up. Just grind the dude down before they let him know they’re gone, so he knows exactly why they’re done.

      I agree, why don’t he broke up before being an asshole? Than why she had the trouble to print and confront instead of breaking up? And why is HE listening to ir? why don’t just break up with a girl he is not into anymore and it’s harassing him?!

      See I agree that she is being extra and crazy but this culture that man can be assholes and apologize without breaking up is also shitty. “sHe iS cRaZy”

      Break up with your SOs guys! You don’t have to go through this and don’t have to disrespect her, just break up and you can have any pussy you want!

        i would say fear of being alone

        letting go of something before you have grip on something new can be scary, esp if you know that the “new one” is just not girlfriend material, but you are selfish enough just to get your dick wet

        but i would say, if it’s too scary don’t jeopardize your existing relationship

        i would know, i left my girlfriend for my now wife of 12 years - but i was honest, confessed that i fell in love with another woman and moved out the same day to keep it as painless as possible for her, didnt want to drag it out, and didn’t want to play her, she meant something for me once. Still felt sorry for her, but i couldn’t lessen the blow anymore than that :-(

    Are we not going to talk about the celebratory cupcake she has for herself when she finally dumps his cheating ass?

    Honest question, why would either person sit through this? I understand that (it looks like) the guy’s been cheating on the girl, but he does know he can just stand up and walk away, right? Like, man, just leave her and sleep around for a bit if that’s what you want to do.

          So there’s this thing called nuance and emotion you may have heard of, yeah they both could just walk away, but they’re not going to because they aren’t total sociopaths who can just disengage from a significant person in their lives at will, cheating going on or not. We humans call this… Feelings.

            I got my first girlfriend in highschool when I was 14 and she was 18. She was emotionally and sexually abusive to me and responded to every attempt for me to break up with her by threatening suicide and self harm. She would usually send me pictures and videos of her cutting herself whenever I did anything to upset her. I would do things differently now, but about three years into that relationship I started talking to a boy who showed me what an actual healthy relationship is supposed to be like and I’m not very ashamed to say that what I did would be considered cheating, but I was a borderline groomed, socially awkward autistic boy whose only relationship experience had been based blackmail and abuse against me.

            When I did eventually make the move to break up with her and admit what I’d done, she tried doing almost exactly what the girl in the picture is doing to the guy and sit down with me and proceed to verbally berate me (I don’t think I’ve been called a f*ggot more times in one day than that one) and threaten to tell my family everything. We ended up staying together for another few months after that because I didn’t just stand up and walk out that day.

              So you don’t see how the situation you’ve described is not at all similar in any way to the hypothetical scenario we’re all discussing here of a cheater being confronted with evidence of their infidelity?

                Not really tbh. I’m seeing two people who are obviously unhappy with each other and whose best action is to walk away from each other entirely. There’s nothing productive being done in this picture, from what I can tell, and everyone’s hypothetical story they’re applying to the picture is based on conjecture; I just threw in my own past experiences.

                  You’re getting a lot of undeserved scorn, fam. I think it’s fair for you to say that based on your experience, walking away can be the right answer. In fact, if anyone finds themselves in a situation that brings back past trauma, or they don’t feel safe, or they don’t feel in control of their emotions, it’s perfectly reasonable to walk away.

                  I think people are disparaging you because it sounds like you’re saying the guy should just cheat, and if he’s caught he should just walk away without remorse. I don’t think that’s what you mean, but people might legitimately interpret it that way.

                We literally don’t know the situation in the picture. They could be reviewing the texting scene for their upcomming movie for all we know.

          Shows how little you respect women that you’ll not only cheat on them, but also not face the consequences when you get caught. Very fucked up.
