Cheater Martyr

“Let’s separate. I think that would be best for us both to heal,” says Cheater.

Some cheaters will attempt to cloak their sins in robes of nobility. They will profess mutual benefit while using such as a cover to betray they spouse.

That is just how some cheaters “roll.”

They play the long-suffering martyr. However, they are the aggressor in reality. The cheater is the one who has gone on the offensive with premeditated propaganda to give them cover.

The cheater wanting time away from the spouse “to heal” is really needing this time away to avoid the constant reminder she is actually married. The reminder is kind of a drag when one wants to live a loose, single life welcoming other partners’ romantic attention.

It is even possible the cheater believes their own lies. However, their believing them does not make them any less a lie.

The cheater playing the role of the martyr is just that–playing. They are–yet, again–living in a world constructed on lies. It would be pathetic if it wasn’t so cruel to their spouse.
