All who do evil hate the light and refuse to go near it for fear their sins will be exposed.

-John 3:20, NLT

Cheaters hate YOUR narrative–aka reality.

The last thing they want is to lose control of the narrative. They do not want to look bad even though they did some very bad things.

The problem to these characters is people KNOWING they did something wrong. Doing wrong isn’t.

This is why they despise your narrative. They do not want you spreading the truth because that makes them look bad. Plus, they hate losing control over you.

Now, a repentant cheater would not resist this. They would own their bad actions and give their victim freedom to share it with anyone they needed.

Unrepentant cheaters are stuck in damage control and avoiding accountability. You sharing a narrative that exposes the truth makes it harder for them to manipulate. They don’t like that.
