Cheating in a Nutshell Quotes

“When someone cheats on you, their love for your unique relationship is not there. We take care of the things we love.”
― Wayne Mitchell, Cheating in a Nutshell: What Infidelity Does to The Victim

“When an injured party cannot make this farfetched idea of forgiveness work, they will beat themselves up again. It will be yet another thing they failed to achieve. The issue will become not the cheater’s failure to stay faithful but “your failure to forgive”. That is not the correct way to help someone who has been seriously injured. By all means forgive, but know that forgiveness means giving up resentment and letting go of anger. That’s it. Nothing in the nature of forgiveness requires you to keep the victimizer in your house or in your life. Nothing in the nature of forgiveness requires you to trust them again.”

“In ancient Greece, a mark was burned into the skin of people who were disgraced or tainted, like criminals and traitors. That mark was called stigma… If a man stays with a cheating woman, he is viewed as weak. If a woman stays with a man who cheats, she is seen as a woman who can't hold a man's attention.”

“A promise not to do what they already promised not to do is meaningless.”
― Tamara Mitchell, Cheating in a Nutshell: What Infidelity Does to The Victim

“If someone cheats on you, you've been changed. The wholeness of your relationship is lost, the pristineness gone, and perhaps a vow broken. You are out that initial promise.”
― Tamara Mitchell, Cheating in a Nutshell: What Infidelity Does to The Victim

“Incompensable loss is another matter. I drive while texting, lose control, and kill your child.”
