Is she doing that to protect herself from feeling like the piece of worthless sh1t she really is?
Yes.
People who lie and cheat seem to be helpless. Do they really not have control over their actions and then as I stated above they make excuses to shift the shame off from themselves?
Usually people who "cheat" are in bound commitments that they, for one reason or another, can't let go of. Sometimes it's a significant lifestyle-shock, for example if the dude lives with her and kicking him out would mean no second income. Sometimes it's that they're so comfortable in their misery that the idea of "shaking everything up" scares the sh!t out of them. And sometimes, they just enjoy leeching off of someone, even though they're miserable with that person.
If they HAD control over their actions, they would end the commitment, and all the ups and downs associated therewith. But most people AREN'T "conscious". They refuse to take responsibility for the gift of "choice".
Same reason we give the government more and more control over our lives. So then we can blame Bush or Obama or whoever when things don't work out well for us. Did you sign a mortgage you can't pay for? Blame Bush. Moved 2 hours from where you work and now you can't afford gas? Blame Bush.
But the real cheaters and liers... they may claim in their own infanitle minds that they wouldn't want to put you through "that"..... what they are really more concerned with is how disgusting they would feel if you were to find out and be heart broken or whatever. Its always about them, isn't it. So selfish.
It's funny...the people who are quick to make a point of how selfless they are are usually the most selfish people of all. EVERYONE is selfish. We were having an interesting discussion about this on another forum. Most people who do great things for the world do so out of their own pride, out of a desire to show the world how much THEY can do for it.
Ever had a woman cook for you, take you amazing places, f*ck your brains out night and day, and then turn around and give you the, "I do so much...I deserve better than you!" attitude?? Then you know what I'm talking about.
You actually have it kind of backwards. A woman doesn't push you away to give her an excuse to cheat. She cheats to give her an excuse to get AWAY from you.
It's very simple...if she's "cheating", the commitment is not as good as you both say it is. Figure out why and fix it. If you can't fix it, or fixing it will make you miserable anyway, then STOP making a big deal about "cheating" and just break it off already.
It's not your business to hate on a woman or punish her for "cheating".
To me, there IS NO SUCH THING as "cheating". What you call "cheating" I call one party thinking that a relationship is stronger than the other party does.
If she cheats, and it pisses you off, cut her loose. End-of-story. I know, human attachment and all that...suck it up and suffer. Learn your lesson and accept responsibility for getting involved with a cheating *****.
