" The dildo of effect rarely comes lubed . "
In a recent Reddit post shared tor/AITAH(am I the *sshole here), site useru/Cuttie_Smileasked, “AITAH for exposing my cheating girlfriend at her birthday party?”
He explained that he and his girlfriend had been together for three years. “All this time, I thought things were going great between us,” he shared. “We had already talked about moving in together and making our relationship formal you know an engagement and wedding all that was planned.”
But the original poster (OP) added that she started acting differently a few months ago, “coming home late and drunk, being secretive with her phone, and making excuses to avoid spending time together.”
He spent weeks trying to work out where the changed behaviour was coming from, he said, and even “started to think I was the problem.” He had a “nagging”, “gut feeling” something was up.
So, one night when she was asleep, he says he went through her phone and checked her messages. “I was shocked to find out that she was having an affair with one of my boys,” he said. “I confronted her about it and she denied everything, even when I showed her the messages. She said they were just joking around and that I was being paranoid. I didn’t buy it, but I didn’t push further.”
Last week, she had her birthday party — with the man she’d been messaging present. After everyone had finished eating and dancing, he said, “I dropped the bombshell. I let everyone know that she was cheating and even sent the messages to her birthday group so everyone could see.”
“Everyone was shocked,” he explained, and his girlfriend “felt embarrassed and ran out crying.” He added that “Her family and friends came at me for humiliating her on her precious day,” and that he “left shortly after, feeling a mix of anger and relief.”
“Sometimes going the low road heals the soul,“u/ExternalDowntown7340agreed.
“I’m of the mindset that people frequently only change if they either have the self-reflective nature to look at their own actions with an unbiased mindset or if they receive a shock to their system significant enough to teach them a solid lesson,“u/DivineTarotchimed in. “You did your ex a favour really, because she’ll always remember how her own unfaithful actions led to her humiliation. Hopefully, with luck, the next guy to come along will be luckier and not get cheated on due to this lesson if for no other reason than she realises the consequences make it not worth it to cheat.”
“It’s so funny to me that all these third-party folk will spend energy attacking the innocent or injured party over holding the cheater accountable,“u/HauntingReaction6124added.
And finally, “The dildo of consequence rarely comes lubed,“u/Percept_707wrote.
