  • He's Cheated on Every GF He's Ever Had

    This is a guest blog submitted by StandUp2Life.

    I was recently in a relationship, and the guy I was with had a girlfriend. It recently started to get out of hand (he would try to hook up with me while she was in the room, along with other issues...) so I ended it. I told him he had to choose, because he couldn't have both of us and it couldn't go on forever. I told him I thought he should tell her, because it's not fair to her at all. So he told her. Everything. Then he told me that he was staying with her.

    What? She's taking him back?

    It made no sense to me at all. After more discussion, he ended up telling me that he's cheated on every girlfriend he's ever had. And he told me that he's cheated on this one before, and she took him back then too. I was floored. I couldn't (and still can't) believe what happened. She took him back.

    Would you willingly date someone if you knew he or she had cheated on every SO he/she'd had? Why do you think people keep going back to cheaters?

    No because I'm not an idiot.
    I'm also not dumb enough to get involved with a guy who already has a girlfriend.

    I swear common sense is lax.

  • mstigerfrogs@xanga

    I know a guy who cheated on me, his girlfriend now...

  • abcxunt@xanga

    because she's a dumb fuck with false hopes.

  • surveynoob@xanga

    hell no!


    D:


    i'd hate to be the girl who's cheating with the guy on the girl.


    someone: how did you guys get together?
    girl: oh, he was cheating on his girlfriend with me.


    how nice.

  • awokenfatality@xanga

    I wouldn't. Forget the third, two strikes and you're out. But if I knew that he cheated on every girl, then it would been goodbye on the first strike, and that's IF I gave him a chance.


    I can see no other reason to stay with them because they're blind or because they're in a predicament.
  • karenelayne@xanga

    That's really sad.  You know...if he chose you..that girl could've been you.  Someday she'll be fed up.  Just be glad it wasn't you.  

  • Eskimo1990@xanga

    Yes be very glad that girl isn't you.

    Oh sure, they'll say they'll stop. They say they've changed. That they love you and only you, that you're the one they want. But it's all lies.

    In my experience, if he's cheated more than once he's not going to stop doing it now so get out while you still can.

    I can't honestly say what I would do in that given situation, but more of what I feel I would do. I would break up with his sorry carcass. As for why people go back to their cheating SO's, there are many reasons. They're still in love with them, they feel they can't get anybody better, and others are among the reasons. I can't personally explain why someone might choose to take their SO back, but only that we have to ultimately respect their decision even if we don't like it.

    Judgments aside (since I agree with everyone above), perhaps she really just doesn't mind? It's a stretch, but perhaps he provides her with important things that she needs, and she really doesn't mind if he shops around for sex. Eventually perhaps they'll simply realize what he needs is a girl who's willing to have an open sexual relationship, and perhaps that's her. 

    Now, more likely she's delusional, desperate, a sucker for believing what I assume are lies that he tells her that he won't cheat anymore, some combination of all 3, or other things. Maybe she believes she's not worth being committed to. Maybe she thinks she deserves to get cheated on because her self-esteem is so low. Maybe she's just holding onto him while she waits for better. Maybe she's just using him for another reason (money, housing, etc). Maybe it's just convenient to have him around, regardless of whether he's 'faithful' or not. I could keep going on and on... but most likely it's that she believes his lies and she has low self-esteem.

    Wait... and how is it possible for him to try to hook up with you when she's in the same room??? Maybe same building? I mean I can understand if you try to hook up with a guy under a blanket while his roommate is rockin out to guitar hero, or something...

  • iwasjustthinking@lovelyish

    Why would you stay with anyone that's cheating on you. It only means that he's not happy with you. That he's satisfying him self with other women, and fantasizing a happier time with other women. Just because he's a guy, doesn't give him an excuse. His girlfriend should know better.

  • MusingsOfAnAlmostSocio@xanga

    @iwasjustthinking@lovelyish - Not to just sound contentious, but it means he's not fulfilled sexually (at the very least). He might actually be quite happy with her in many other aspects, possibly even including sexually. While the guy is clearly a douche bag for cheating, on top of that he's probably just a horn dog who wants to hump everything that moves. It doesn't NECESSARILY reflect on the other girl. I think that's a big problem with girls. When some @$$hole treats them like crap, cheats on them, yells at them, or even hits them, they think somehow it's their fault. They feel like the actions of a person like that devalues their self-worth. That's not always the case. Sometimes he's just an @$$hole.

    Furthermore, she may believe that staying with him and 'being a better girlfriend' so that she 'won't drive him to cheat anymore' will allow her to regain her self-worth. "If only she can be good enough" then he won't cheat. Because he doesn't WANT to cheat. Obviously, because he says so. Obviously this is trash, but a lot of girls think this way. It's sad.

  • HeartOfPandora@xanga

    Girls are stupid and think "oh, he'll change for me!" when, duh, he won't.  He didn't for any of those other girls and he won't for you.

    Sometimes, girls just make me ashamed to have a vagina.  Is this seriously what the rest of my species is like?! 

  • pillowpixies@xanga

    Wow, false hopes like crazy. If the guy has cheated on every girlfriend he's ever had, that's the biggest red flag on the face of the earth. It's not likely that he's going to suddenly change. The fact she has taken him back when he done the same thing before is even worse, because now she knows that he's not going to quit. Talk about no common sense. Well, maybe she just wants to be "in a relationship"; you know, until she finds someone else.

  • astrellia@xanga

    my current bf has cheated on every girlfriend that he's ever had. he even went so far as to try and cheat WITH me on his two most recent exes, but since i knew the two girls, i was able to say no. however, i'm madly in love with him, and have been pretty much since we met about a two years ago. i waited those two years for him to realize that he really wanted to be with me. we've been together for three months now, and he tells me he hasn't cheated, and i believe him.  however, i've told him mutiple times that the SECOND i find out he cheated on me (even kissing) i'm out for good.


    people tell me that i'm naive/idiotic for thinking he won't cheat on me, but since he hasn't ever cheated on me personally, i have no reason to think he will.


  • KasumiCelesta@xanga

    I would most likely not date a guy that's cheated on every gf he's ever had. On the other hand, I'd have to give him some credit for being honest, at least. If I REALLY liked him and trusted him (I probably wouldn't), then I'd give it a try. But one slip and he's gone.

    And people that go back to cheaters...well, that's their thing. My first reaction is to call out stupidity but hey, I've never been in their situation.

  • xxthatsmexx@xanga

    Nope.  Never.  How in the world would he be able to come up with a good enough b.s. answer to make me take him back?  "I'm a pathological liar.  I was lying about cheating."  Well, minus points for that...

    Why'd you want to be "the other woman" anyway?

  • pumpkin_19

    I am so not going to date someone who is a cheater. I believe I deserve someone much much better. If he has cheated in every girl he's dated, then there's no guarantee that he won't do the same to me. And people that go back to cheaters are simply stupid.

  • LaLaLici0us@xanga

    This is EXACTLY like two people I know.
    Are you sure you don't know me?! LOL

  • aJoLLyDork@xanga

    no. girls who may consider it probably want to change him for the better. the guy probably has personal issues to resolve on his own.

  • EccentricSiren@xanga

    They go back because maybe they want to believe it's the last time...I don't know.


    And I wouldn't want to be with someone who had cheated on every girlfriend he's been with. I'd have too hard a time trusting him.

  • Kaysera@xanga

    Were you hoping she wouldn't so YOU could take him back?

  • flashbulb100w@xanga

    Ehihihi... I committed the same mistake a year ago. By the time I hooked up with him, I thought he had changed, but he hadn't. If I wasn't so blind, no, I would not be willing to have a relationship with him. Fortunately, I kept it short and dumped him. Now that I know the truth, I wouldn't want to be with him again. But I do know of a girlfriend of his who keeps coming back to him. I think that she is only blindly believing that she can't love anybody else as much as she loves him and that he will really change someday. But I think that's farfetched. They are both cheaters by the way.

  • OstentatiousEloquence@xanga

    Your response shouldn't have been "You have to choose between us." It should have been "see ya."

    I'd seriously reconsider dating anyone who ever cheated, period.

    I think people go back to those who've cheated on him for a simple reason. You develop the sense that it's something about you that's flawed, instead of the cheater. So, you reason in some fucked up logic that that's all you can really do, and expect.
