The thing is…truth is not always pleasant. I’ve learned this myself as well.
The things you want to hear are the easiest for this guy to say. Like “I’ve never met another woman like you” or “you’re the only one I’ve ever laid eyes on” or “I’ve never done anything with another woman before”. These are the easy things to say…the things that will maintain a pristine image in your eyes of him. The lies that will make you fall for him because everything else seems to work well so far, right?
Truth - real truth - is much harder to swallow.
The fact that he’s being honest means he’s taking you seriously. The fact that he’s not regretting it means he’s mature and understands a few things about life.
These mistakes at times help people do better in the future…believe it or not.
Sorry KKF - lekin this is wrong to say.
He didn’t cheat on someone. He had a relationship. Those are two VERY different things.
