Let's say I had a good friend who told me that her partner wanted to stay "engaged" for 9 f***ing years and could never quite get to that commiittment. Then she tells me that she catches him cheating on her with a co-worker. Then she tell me he "breaks off the A" but continues to work with OW and says it's not a "big deal" to him and that he simply "ignores" OW. She tells me that her partner has moved out and makes a point of it being a huge secret where he is living for 7 f***ing months. He is telling her he wants to come home and reconcile, but she's hearing rumors that he's STILL seeing the OW at work.
I would probably be VERY cynical and tell my friend that he's probabaly been shaking up with OW the whole damn time. I'd tell her that he obviously was incapable of committment, incapable of being faithful, and incapable of being honest and above-board. Finally, I'd tell her that she belived a word out of that dog-man's mouth, I'd nominate her for some Gullible Idiot of the Year Award.
....and I'd probably tell her that she deserved a partner treated her with respect and didn't betray and violate her heart.
