This Is What Happens To Faithful Lovers When They Get Cheated On
Revenge in love never ends well.

Have you ever been cheated on?
Have you ever been cheated on while being a faithful and devoted lover to the person who cheated on you?
If the answer is YES, then you’ve most likely dealt with a healthy serving of pure, unadulterated pain. You’ve most likely felt that heaving, sobbing ache of despair.
A faithful lover attaches themselves to a person whom they simply can’t see past. A person they never want to stray from. A person they’d never even think about betraying.
Being a faithful lover to the end no matter what the circumstances are can be a devastatingly lonely place to be.
However, it’s not worse than the vicious cycle of revenge.
Revenge in love never ends well.
Those who have been cheated on and feel that the only way to somehow mend their broken heart is to engage in a romantic tryst with someone else — perhaps someone they know — or even a complete stranger — usually find out that their heart only becomes more desolate, more bitter.
One might think that people who get cheated on immediately get some sort of free pass to go out and take a quick lover because they are somehow owed instant revenge gratification.
One might think they deserve it for being betrayed.
On the contrary, for so many loyal lovers who have been cheated on, that’s not even close to what they want to do.
Having been faithful to someone for any period of time — long or short — and then realizing that person has not behaved in the same manner can be absolutely devastating. A person may think, well why do I even bother being faithful? What’s the point?
The point is that there are some people who just can’t help being loyally faithful to the end. There are some who wouldn't cheat on a partner even if we were given a thousand opportunities to do so.
There are many faithful lovers who will eventually love again after a betrayal and still be just as steadfast to their new partner as they were to the one who let them down.
It’s almost as if certain people are programmed to zero in on one true mate and never want to look at anyone else again. They simply decide on someone and that’s it. It’s like they have an instinct to mate for life as swans or seahorses do.
Unfortunately, many people who have this loyal instinct don’t always find a partner with the same tendency and that can cause serious heartache in the end.
Optimistically, the faithful lovers of the world are often not driven to become vengeful cheaters when they are cheated on. In fact, the common lesson learned is knowing that you were honorably constant to someone even though they were not to you and that’s something no one can take away.
Maybe those who have remained faithful to an unfaithful lover feel like great fools at some point. Sure. That’s par for the course.
However, in the end, most faithful lovers will live through it all to love loyally another day.
