Cheating men and how to react

Ana • Clinical Psychologist based in Bucharest, Romania.

I was on this app just now and read a post of a woman who caught her man cheating with a co-worker. They have a wedding in October this year and he is begging for forgivness.

She wants to go to his workplace and cause a scene. She has every right to feel this way.

I was just about to reply, but i went off the app to translate a word, and when i got back, it took me out of her post and i cant find it.

What i was about to answer to her question, and if its of any help to anyone going through something similar is this:

“You are right to feel betrayed, hurt and dissapointed. I am so sorry you are going through this. It is every woman’s nightmare.

But please, for your own wellbeing, dont go and cause a scene. It will only make things worse. That woman is indeed a low-life for going after another woman’s man, but she will bring onto herself what she ‘deserves’.

You deserve to heal from this betrail now.

And yes, you need closure and justice.

So go to his workplace if you must, but dont cause a scene. Instead, look at her and all their co-workers with contempt, dont speak to anyone, dont complain, show strength.

Afterwards, ask him to change his job. He should never be in contact with that woman again.

And most importantly, go to therapy, for yourself, and also couples therapy for your relationship.

Fight for what is yours but with wisdom.”

I am a psychologist and in school they taught me to think logical and critical, leaving my woman-emotional part aside.

And trust me, ive had my share of heartache in this life.

Be strong and wise, ladies. I am sorry that things have to be this way. Im hoping for a better world.💐
