Cheater

Coquets with many I was blind
Hoodwinked for many years
Exploited all I gave to you
Adultry is your mistress
Tainted by your selfishness
Enveloped in your lies
Recreant that you are

Tough one, not sure if it's the adultery, or knowing it was going on for years. They all get caught in the end, but by then the hate has set in.

Think they both hurt just as hard and yes they normally do get caught. It is a very selfish act. Emilia : )

I have know men like this who looked on sex as a sport or a game. And I believe there are some women the same way (my ex). I wrote a poem about the games people play a couple years ago call "Like a Game of Chess." I hope you are not writing this from personal experience. Hugs, John

I agree with you John both sexes are as bad as each other. I do think the game players are the ones that are most cruel and ruthless. Hugs, Emilia : )

Welcome to my world! Cheating hurts both people and has been going on since man came to be. None of us are perfect, are we? For myself, I speak, I am not and will never be perfect. It's best to let these people go with blessings. Than comes, love. Panagiota

Have seen so many people be hurt by this and as you said no one is perfect, but is a very cruel pain. Hope you are keeping well Pangie, Emilia : )

I dare say this is the perfect place to call someone out on their selfishness. Snicker. Snicker.
