A painful Secret exposed
He found out about the truth by chance. When he was handed the phone by his friend to show him something really funny, he saw a photo of his girlfriend. It was not a simple selfie and it didn't have him as part of the picture, it was something private, a photo meant to be seen by no other eyes except hers and his own.
At that point his friend took the phone back as fast as he could, realizing he saw something wrong, he was not supposed to see that.
Before even hearing a word, it became very clear that he had stumbled on a serious mess being exposed right there.
He asked a very straightforward question. Why do you have photos of my girlfriend? And even before he could get an answer, followed with another question, Why is this kind of photo in your phone?
His friend gave all sorts of explanations that were neither direct nor clear. They had chatted, it had gone too far and so on. There was no need for further questioning, so he left right away before any of this could get out of hand.
He called her that very night and as most girls would do initially, she denied the allegations. Her denial would have been believable had it not been interrupted with her silence after he mentioned the screenshot and explained exactly what photo it is and knew that the boyfriend had caught the guy.
After the silence a sea of more explanations came, but none of them mattered as much as the fact that she willingly crossed the line and betrayed the trust placed in her.
What was even more disturbing about that whole experience is seeing how normal their relationship used to look like. They would hang out together and joke around, but he never imagined himself to be the only person out of the loop.
He cut ties with both of them, neither of them putting up much of a fight in return, knowing they were as guilty as van ever be. Probably they had expected something like this for quite some time now, people who make decisions like that always know they are running against the clock.
His response to that situation is one you won't forget soon. He told a loyal friend that the worst thing is not anger that comes with the betrayal, but rather knowing you can't accept anything as normal again, after you move one from there?
To all steemit members that read, what would have been your response and how will you deal with that betrayal?
I think that sort of ‘betrayal’ is only possible when there’s a sense of entitlement or possessiveness within a relationship. If I generally accept that my partner doesn’t ‘belong’ to me, then there’s no reason to lie to each other or keep things hidden.
That's true, I have felt it before, not exactly cheated like that but betrayed and it's always a sense of possession
