ORIGINAL: Hillwilliam How many times have you seen the regulars here say "Once a cheater, always a cheater" to someone asking about a relationship with someone who fooled around on them and should they take him back? it didn't happen to these 2 ladies at all. I only just perused through this thread tonight, even though it's been out here for awhile. And of all the posts, I really only want to comment on your comments about the 2 ladies who were not condemned when having admitted to cheating. I don't know if one of those 2 ladies you found posts on were me, but I've readily admitted to having cheated on my ex husband and realizing later it was the wrong thing to do. My very first post about it was in my former CM name, back in March of 2006. It was one of my first posts here, describing my history of abuse, in more detail than I've since described. But it wasn't a thread about cheating, it was a thread about journeying from abuse to BDSM and the fears that may come with it. The focus of the thread and my post in it was not about cheating, so that part wasn't really commented on. However, just today in another thread, it was implied that I was a cunt for having cheated all those years ago, and that no reason could possibly be a forgivable or understandable one. I was accused of being judgmental toward those who speak up against cheating, and I was lumped in with people "banging on" about what the cheater feels in an attempt to gain sympathy. It was also suggested if I didn't have the balls at the time to get out of the marriage, I would not have had the balls to cheat, so apparently my circumstances were apparently not psychologically sound. I only say this because I think the condemnation is equal opportunity. Not that I'm bothered by today's words, because I'm not. But I think women get it as badly as the men do. I can't remember her name now but I remember many many years ago, a gal created an OP feeling really lost and asking for advice because she wanted to step outside of her marriage, and instead of getting help she was raked over the coals. There was page after page of very hostile (and not helpful) posts toward her. She left CM and never came back. I wish I could remember her name. I think it had kitten or bunny or something like that in it. I do tend to think newer folks get harder responses than folks who have been around awhile. Maybe it's a familiarity thing.
