“Forgot To Take My Medication”: 50 Wildest Ways People Justified Their Affairs To Their Partners

Didn't give an excuse. After sleeping with her ex, she just said, "i had to scratch that itch." She was pretty damn cruel.

Horrendous at the time, but it turned out "that itch" was chlamydia.

Luckily, i wasn't touching her long before that point.

Every cloud and all that.

"i was depressed" 🙄

He and my sister (who is 15 years older than me) had an affair in our home for 18 months. I hold them equally accountable and screamed at them equally before cutting all contact and ties to them.

I told her very crazy jealous boyfriend that she f****d my ex, and I told all of our friends and family that they mutually decided to carry our their affair. When the "please stop telling people what we did" calls came, I told them "no because I'm depressed" lol.

She was supposedly "super christian" and told me she didnt think god would want us to be together. Immediately goes on camping trip after with 2 dudes and she ended up dating both consecutively. Cheated on me with one, then cheated on him with the other, then got cheated on by him when they got engaged.

My ex gf said she was manipulated into having sex with the other guy. She went over to his house and she felt sorry for misunderstanding the relationship between them two. So she said to me: “ I felt sorry for him. So for making it up to him I had sex with him one time and one time only.”

I stood up and left. I never saw her again..

"I didn't think that you would care." Was the first one.

"I felt trapped by him, and I didn't know what to do." Was the second one.

"Anybody would have have done what I did. You know how good he looks. Besides, I deserved to finally have sex with a hot guy." I will admit, that one stung a bit.

She had room in her heart for two soulmates and wanted me to let it continue. We were married for 6 years. Still are, but Ive started divorce proceedings and she flew off home with him. Whatever, theyre both unemployed and shes been leeching off me for 10 years. I gave her everything she ever wanted; a house, a support network, my time and devotion, and she decided "fixing" this dying man was worth giving everything up.

His words: because A. I gained weight while pregnant and, B. He was bored because he felt he knew all there was to know about me. Cue his 7 mistresses/misters over two years during the early AIDS crisis, so I (a virgin before marrying him) had to have an AIDS test.

"You had a GF before marriage, while I had saved myself for you" (which she didn't, actually).

Not partner but when I caught my father he just blamed it on being bipolar turned out he never even had it.

Because I wanted a kid now and you haven’t gave me one, WTF.

Being poly she loves everyone so she thinks it was a free pass despite being in a closed traid.

“I wanted to see if my feelings for you were real”, so I brought home your roommate's friend.

I know I haven't done anything wrong God knows my Intentions, whatever I did was to myself and not you bla bla, I was very young, all men do this etc.

‘I’m human. I make mistakes. I was drunk.’

Yeah. Screw you.

“I was so lonely and I just felt so disconnected from you.” Okay, she had an affair while I was in the hospital with staph infection in my spine. Honestly, the absurdity is kind o funny in hindsight.

“He has the same name as you”.

“I wanted to have the whole high school experience. His relationships only last a few months so we can get back together then.”

“I wanted something else.”

“I was having a good time in Vegas and I didn’t want the night to stop. But also I don’t love you any more, but we live together so I didn’t know how to break up with you.” - after going to a friends birthday party in Vegas and then being very cagey and vague about the trip when she got back and I asked how it was.

Three separate relationships.

That it was my fault for being safe, boring and stable and not providing drama. That she has to seek excitement out elsewhere so this is really all my fault.

"I don’t have to justify myself to you."

From my wife of 10 years, not long after Christmas.
Day one “I feel like we are disconnected and we need to spend more time together. I feel bad because I have been texting someone at the gym for two weeks, nothing sexual but we need to work on us, I’ll stop talking to him.”
Day two: “it has been sexual, ok we will do counselling, I’ll stop talking to him” two hours later “I don’t want to stop talking to him”
Day three: “it’s actually been more Iike 2 months, we are over, I’m leaving and I don’t want to do counselling”

Guy was a member at her gym where she is a PT, nearly 20 years younger than me, lived at home with his mother still.

We have two kids. After he actually turned out to be an a*****e (surprising), she wanted to do counselling, the after a month or so she picked up with another member of her gym.

She has totally changed, doesn’t spend time with the kids anymore, is always too busy to actually engage with them, promises them activities and always disappoints them. Her personality/behaviour have shifted from being one of the kindest and most dedicated mothers I have seen, caring and loving towards me and dedicated to family, to never being home, ignoring the kids and just being cruel and deceptive. She hasn’t moved out even though she keeps saying she will, because I do all the house work and look after the kids and she gets to do what ever she wants.
