Welcome back ladies and gentlemen of the internet. Infidelity is the cornerstone of too many buried relationships. Broken hearts, bickering couples, and inevitable breakups are just the beginning of what baggage will resurface in the aftermath of infidelity. Staying in a relationship with severe betrayal is a personal decision, but one has to know the consequences. If you make the mistake of infidelity, you have to know what you're in for. No one should feel obligated to stay in relationships where they were betrayed, disrespected, and demeaned.
In this Reddit thread, it focuses on a man and his breakup with his girlfriend. He's been with her for five years, but then gets word that she's cheating. He immediately changes the lock on his apartment, moves her stuff out, and tells her to never contact him again. Here's the catch: she was financially dependent on him. Now her family is blaming him for 'throwing away the relationship.' If her infidelity wasn't a good enough red flag, her family gaslighting him should be.
