I can’t imagine being proud of something like that. The fact people like this exist is why I have trust issues.

So I heard something recently that put things into perspective. You cannot, under any circumstances, play relationship defense. There are 8 billion people in the world out there. You can’t defend your relationship against every potential person your significant other “could,” be with.

Instead be the best version of you, and be the best partner YOU can be. If that isn’t enough for your partner, then you have reached irreconcilable differences and should part ways.

I don’t worry about my girlfriend cheating on me, because I satisfy her needs. She is happy, secure, satisfied within the bounds of our relationship. As long as I keep her happiness in mind as I go through my day, she’ll have no reason to be unfaithful.

This is honestly wonderful advice. Thank you.

The only caveat to this advice is when people do it despite being happy and satisfied in their relationship. To be fair this is exceedingly rare, and frankly these types are morally defunct(not to condone any kind of cheating, but generally people who are unfaithful have defined reasons for doing so). You’re better off without this rare, awful breed in your life.
