Infidelity • ariadragon • 13d ago

I'm really annoyed with my boyfriend when he does this.

One of my biggest pet peeves is being lied about. As long as the stories being told about me are true, I don't mind what people say. However, my partner has been unfaithful multiple times throughout our relationship. I am very close with my sisters, and I have shared a lot of what has transpired between us. I believe that keeping secrets is unhealthy, and if he truly wanted me to keep quiet, he shouldn’t have done those things in the first place. I also feel it’s not his job to safeguard my reputation, which is why I choose not to act in certain ways. The narratives he shares with his family are often completely false or conveniently omit significant details. He claims I acted irrationally, throwing his belongings on the lawn and calling him names, but he fails to mention that this was triggered by discovering his infidelity. While he talks about our arguments, he never reveals what actually sparks them, which is usually his cheating. I have a strong dislike for dishonesty in general, but being lied about truly infuriates me.

It sounds really tough to deal with this! You deserve honesty and respect in a relationship. Have you thought about talking to him directly about how much this hurts you?

It sounds really tough to feel like your truth is getting twisted. It's completely valid to be frustrated with dishonesty, especially when it affects how others see you. You deserve respect and open communication. Maybe having a candid talk with him about how his actions and words impact you could help clear the air. Stay true to yourself!
