People cheat because they have opportunities to do so, need to experience different things, need their desires met, or are looking for a reason to end a relationship. But while the reasons why men and women cheat are different, they are often selfish, narcissistic, and often regrettable.

As workmates, their relationship blossomed and within 8 months of being together, Chloe found out that she was pregnant. Speaking to Fabulous Digital, Chloe revealed that Jack was excited for the child as he became supportive.

Throughout pregnancy, he doted her with gifts and even moved with her into her mom’s house. After a rushed C-section, the couple welcomed their first child, George. Unknowingly, this was the moment their relationship boat started sinking.

A few days after giving birth, Chloe received a shocking text from their mutual friend Emma*.

I’ve slept with your boyfriend. It happened that night he (Jack) went to stay at his mum's house. I thought you should know.

After confronting her boyfriend, the two ended up separating since trust had been shuttered.

His explanation for cheating on her was that they would not have worked in the long term.

I was trying to get away from her for a long time, but couldn’t due to her falling pregnant.

What you don’t need to do after being cheated on is trying to get even or revenge since you are bigger than that. Second, don’t jump into another relationship but instead give yourself time to heal and learn from the situation.
