This Is Why I Cheated

This is why I cheated We never talk; all we do is fight and argue Things between us are always so heated You never say you’re wrong So that means I am never right Constant battle we go through Every day and every night I want to be done with this Just wish you would walk away But you won’t And I won’t So we drag this mess along At least for another day With the distance Between our love getting bigger And bigger Temptation becomes such a powerful Figure With the voices of the change and lust Screaming in my ear Those moments where you say You love me Are sometimes hard to hear I don’t know when I will slip But I know I am due And when it finally happens I know it will somehow Get back to you I will tell you I never Meant to see you hurt Never meant to see you cry I know you don’t believe me All my words sound Like a bunch of lies And for some strange reason My heart will also hurt I know I will feel some pain It doesn’t make sense Like when you see no clouds But your body feels the rain The reason why I am telling you This is because if you don’t learn From history you are doomed To be repeated And I didn’t want you wondering Why I broke your heart I didn’t want you wondering why I cheated

Clarity is a must when it comes to communication although at times we leave it until too late. It's better to know why than live with questions. Well said Marcus!

Yes, if both sides of the relationship are not working to make it good, it is bound to end in cheating or something equally bad. well stated.

An honest series of statements...and a clear headed look at a developing dysfunctional relationship....good luck, and I hope everything works out for the best.
