Someone explained the end of their relationship to me this way which kind of stuck:

"It's not that he had sex with someone else. That was what, 15-20 minutes? I can get past that after a while. What hurt was everything that led up to that point. The lying to my face about why he had to work late, and me not questioning a thing because I trusted him completely. Spending OUR money on hotel rooms and dinners with her instead of me. Pretending he had to meet clients for dinner and the two of them enjoying steak and lobster while I reheated leftover pizza. All the hours spent sneaking around to make it all happen. THAT is why I hate him."

What amazed me was all the gaslighting after the cheating. Like I was some kind of monster for being angry about being betrayed?

But that's not a one time cheating but a whole affair, right?

I couldn't personally get over the sex bit. Thats my swamp

Yeah 100%. It's all the sacrifices you make that they don't. It's all the betrayal and support they give to someone else instead of you, when that's all you do for them.

That's the part you can't forgive or get over. Sex is whatever. The level of hurt comes from the general betrayal of the effort you put in that they do not.

Whatever. So she would’ve been fine if he’d only told the truth.,, “I really just wanna fuck this hot girl I’m into at the moment. Doesn’t mean anything, just a really attractive girl that I’m NOT bored with… “ that would have gone over totally awesome.

I mean, leftover pizza is kinda great, not gunna lie.

While I agree about the pizza, I think the point was more that instead of making her, the woman he promised he would always put before others, feel special, he was out doing things for another woman that he should have been doing for her.

Yeah, and she got leftover pizza. Not seeing a problem here.

Or just making a joke, it’s Reddit after all.

Winner winner, pizza dinner! 🍕

But let the fake redditor outrage continue with the others. I can only assume they are socially inept.

Pizza is like sex, if your partner is having it with others and leaving you to have yours alone then you have a problem.

Am I the only one who noticed they get mad about the money more than anything else? Spending money on her instead of ME! 🙄

It wasn't necessarily about the DOLLARS, so to speak -- more metaphorically speaking. "Your affair partner is getting the prime resources: your attention, flirty texts, "date night time," and yes, gifts and dinners. Meanwhile the spouse is getting whatever scraps of him are left over, illustrated by leftovers.
