cheating [Theme]

- Treason - paragraph 5.3.1: Any

“I don’t want to wake up one day wanting to shoot myself in the head.”

Even handing over your own partner to another man, which is the most excruciating and painful experience imaginable, is much more bearable than not being able to separate from her.

Often the narcissist himself chooses a man who will be an excellent candidate for cheating on his wife or girlfriend. These are all parts of a theatrical play or film. It's all about the narcissistic fantasy of betrayal. The narcissist needs to be betrayed. Because during the betrayal, the narcissist experiences such pain that it will facilitate his separation. And it will not only facilitate, but also make separation irreversible.

Romantic relationships can be both the source of our joy, pride, inspiration, and the point of our painful experiences, serious disappointments, and deepest regrets.

He didn’t think of it: when gentlemen prefer not to leave traces, the five-hour retarders work within three minutes, so the officer who planted the infernal machine in the powder magazine of the newest battleship “Prince Potemkin-Tavrichesky” was one of the first to die. There are no traces left. And the pension and house in West Sussex, carried out according to the appropriate documentation, will not be lost, but they will go to a gentleman more worthy of the property.

- Certainly.

- Sorry.

I used to think that in order to satisfy the need for romantic love and sexual relationships, while in marriage, there were only two choices: monogamy or infidelity. None of the options worked for me. It turned out that there is a third solution: polyamory, or emotionally open, conscious and responsible non-monogamy.

I'm there, which means that everyone else is an asshole.

Traditional cultures have established mechanisms for creating a family. If a man imposed himself on a girl who is not nice to her, sought her out, or took her against her will for maintenance, then the relationship was not happy. Sometimes they didn't last long. She could live in his house, run the household, but do everything later
