Something that has been on my mind the entire time is, why are the cheating parties such fucking cowards when having an affair? Why hide it, sneaking around, why try to make excuses, why gaslight, try to manipulate into a false sense of trust, and on and on...is there a term this is called or pro explanation, other than being fucking cowards? I'm still teetering between rage and apathy. From my standpoint, why not call me up and almost brag that you're fucking my wife? Are you hiding it from a significant other on your end? Own up to it. I know some of you have had experiences with the other party reaching out, confessions, apologies, etc. was this a part of closure for you, how did/does it affect your emotions, does it bring any relief...?
