Today, I broke up with my boyfriend of almost 4 months. He was always worried I would cheat on him, so he cheated on me. FML

Always seems to be that whatever your SO is constantly accusing you of, they're almost certainly guilty of. ****** up. You're better off OP, stay strong!

Always seems to happen like that. It may not feel like it at the moment, but you're better off <3 hope you're okay OP

I'm sorry to hear that, but honestly he sounds a little unstable if that's the way he views things so in the long run you've probably made the best choice.

OP broke up with him. They were the bigger person.

That doesn't mean anything. Some people are just crazy. Just because OP broke up doesn't mean they're the better person. For all we know OP could have cheated, then broke up with her bf when he cheated. She then posted an FML while omitting such details for the validation/sympathy of the FML community. Anyways, I meant it more as a joke. But to suggest that it simply isn't possible soley based on the rather vague word of the FML poster is silly.

Sounds like you did the right thing. At least you don't have to deal with him anymore

Kinda how like all of the politicians who get caught on gay dating sites happen to be staunch anti-gay crusaders

I want to know how the hell people come to that level of thinking. "Oh my SO must be cheating on me so I'll cheat on them." Either way it's wrong and doing it to get back at someone makes you no better than them.

It's that "I think you'll try to play me, so I'll play you first" mentality.

If he was that insecure in the first place, then you're better off without him, OP. Sounds like you dodged a bullet. If that's his solution, I'm guessing you missed out on a very paranoid and possessive relationship.

He's a bit too paranoid...you deserve better OP.

He pretty much got rid of himself for you. What a nice guy.

Almost every comment here so far he's wrong. Just because someone is worried that their significant other is cheating doesn't mean that they are cheating. I was with my ex almost 4 years and she cheated on me nine times that I know of and I was always worried that she was going to cheat again which she did but I never cheated not even to get back at her.

I don't think you understand that he actually did cheat. He was so worried about her cheating, that he cheated.

Ok but this guy did actually cheat, so I don't really see your point. Your situation was different, you were worried about her cheating because she had actually cheated on you before. The OP never cheated and he was still paranoid, and as it turns out, he's also a total jackass, "I'm worried you're going to cheat, so I'm going to cheat on you," seriously ****** up logic. And look, this might sound mean, but relationships are built on trust, your ex was a bitch, but even after she cheated on you, multiple times no less, you still went back, you took that risk, that was your decision, no one forced you. If your SO cheats and you still stay, it might be hard, but you still have build up trust and learn how to trust them again, because you decided to stay and work on the relationship, and it will never improve if you're constantly paranoid and making accusations.

Nine times?! I'm sorry, but going back again after the second time is just being stupid. I really hope you never caught anything because your ex couldn't keep her damn legs closed. I know I probably sound like a bitch, but cheating pisses me off to no end, and it drives me nuts to know that some people allow it to happen to them over and over. You may love the person you're with, but they obviously don't love you if they keep doing it. Fool me once... Speaking as someone who went back to an ex after he cheated on me (only once that I knew of, but it turned out to be multiple times), I can honestly say that it doesn't get any better. Cheating may be forgivable the first time, depending on the circumstances. We're all human and we make mistakes sometimes, but anything more than that one time is not a mistake anymore. People will treat you the way you allow them to. Love yourself enough to know when you deserve better, and don't settle for less just because you'd rather not be alone.
