The world is not that simple.
Well said. Reality can be a very nasty, spiteful bitch sometimes. It's easier to hide behind some preconceptions than to face it head-on and see it how it really is.
Never said cheating was ok, BUT we're only human, so we're bound to make mistakes. The important thing is to learn from them and fix them. Some ppl learn from their or other ppl's mistakes, others don't, and keep repeating them or making new ones without giving too many fucks about their actions or who they hurt in the process. It's how life is and exactly what happened in this game between the MC and his ex-wife.
As I've said before on this thread.....if your wife ignored you for 5 years....I really do wonder how some of the people here would actually really react in the real world and not a forum.
I suspect that's probably the part where OnlyFans and all those porn websites come in handy for "comforting" lol, but joking aside, I wholeheartedly agree. Things ain't always black or white, there's some gray in between them too, and you'll have to adapt to the situation at hand, not find excuses to dodge taking accountability for your choices or actions. If a guy don't want to be cheated on, dumped by his woman, or whatever, he needs to make sure she values him and their relationship enough so she won't do that or will think at least a few times before doing it than hearing the same guy start bitching again and again about how much he supposedly loved her, how he has exactly 0 part of the blame in her cheating and how she only did that cuz she was a backstabbing, selfish slut. That's what only a lil kid or Allison would do, not a reasonable actual adult.
Sorry to anyone else trying to argue with me on this, but in our fictional case, both of them screwed up and only one of them was willing to do anything to have a good co-parenting relationship, while Allison, to me at least, sounded pretty convincing with her threats about not wanting to let the MC see his daughter anymore prior to her tragic accident.
We'll probably never know how much of that she actually meant and how much was just her bullshitting trying to get the MC to spend more time with Lily than he already did and maybe even with her
WaitWhat:??), but regardless of what the correct option out of these two is, her even jokingly using their own kid to threaten the MC and make him suffer sounds real fucked-up and worse than anything he ever did to her, IMHO.
Wait, you think what abuse victims do after experiencing it is... cheat? The last thing most abuse victims think about is getting into another relationship, and in fact swear off dating for a while due to their mistrust. There's a huge difference between experiencing abuse and being in an unhappy relationship.
Again, stop thinking everything's just black or white with no gray area in between. What you said varies from person to person, and yes,
some women would eventually find comfort in other men's arms, men they think have earned their trust, cuz women are more emotional by nature compared to men and will need to feel safe, loved and supported in a man's arms again, whereas other women will dread even thinking (for some time at least) about dating other men and risking to end up in another abusive relationship like their previous one cause of that mistrust you mentioned there.
