They say they’re sorry….

…but refuse to cut off contact with their affair partner.

I am sorry to tell you that they are NOT truly sorry. Their actions betray the truth. They are sorry that they were caught!

They say they want an open and honest relationship…

…yet they continue to lie to you and cheat.

When openness and honesty is one way, it is recipe for abuse. It is one way intelligence used by the abuser to further engage in deceptive behavior. That information given to them makes you easier to manipulate.

Someone who is cheating is NOT interested, truly, in open and honest exchange. They just want you to tell them everything so that they can keep their double life going.

They say you contributed nothing to the marriage…

…then they run to you for you help when they encounter a problem.

The truth is that they are trying to devalue you. It is lie that they do not even believe about you bringing nothing to the relationship. Their actions betray the truth.

The morale of this story:

Trust Actions Over Words.
