“I can’t keep pretending about our marriage!” cries Cheater.
What I find interesting, now, about such a statement is how twisted it is. The Cheater is so self-deceived to think they are being “honest” by breaking their most sacred vows.
If anything is “pretending,” it is the Cheater pretending NOT to be off the market and married! That’s the real pretending.
Whether it is an emotional or physical affair or both, the reality is a cheater is living a lie. They are pretending to be available when they are not.
Affairs are not acts of honesty but rather ones of contempt-filled deceit!
This is another reason dealing with a cheater caught in the net of their own lives is difficult. Your reality is not warped like theirs. So, you do not see the world like they do.
To the clear-eyed outsider, it makes no sense to deceive and break vows if the goal is godliness and honesty.
Sadly, the cheater cannot see this because they are so deceived themselves. They have given their soul to the lies, and those lies will bring much sorrow.
