I Wish I Was Enough

I don’t understand why people cheat. And because I don’t understand I automatically think it’s my fault (one of the downsides to mental illness)

It’s frustrating that the only “solution” I’ve been given is to just leave him. If I could, I would. I would like to add that it’s not the sense of I don’t know how to leave, it’s that I have no where to go, basically no money (I’m living off of a student loan), and no family or friends close by. There are very few apartments in the town I live in. Even less that are affordable. And none that are affordable and in a good neighborhood.

Do people cheat because they’re unhappy? Or do they cheat because they don’t really love you? How do you get them to stop?

First..people with mental challenges aren't clones. Not everyone with issues feels the way you do. Women in general think it's their fault when cheated on...society conditions us that way...it has nothing to do with mental illness...it's a societal issue. People who cheat are the ones at fault...10000%. They choose to betray their partner. They are selfish cowards. You can't change that. Find someone you can trust. When we have low self esteem...we tend to pick the wrong people...again and again
