What\u2019s the gradient for cheating? Does flirting or fantasizing already cross that line? <\/p>\n\n\n\n
A friend was scribbling traits of waitresses and their restaurants on a tablet\u2014crazy haha. I told him, \u201cBuddy, you\u2019re playing on the cheating curve\u2014technically flirting with the sketchy stuff without going all in.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Dear readers, do you really think you\u2019re screwing someone else over when you hide behind excuses? <\/p>\n\n\n\n
It\u2019s like this: when someone cheats\u2014in any relationship\u2014they\u2019re not screwing over the other person, they\u2019re screwing themselves. How don\u2019t you see that? haha<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I mean, what is cheating if not an adrenaline hit that jolts us alive? Like playing with fire, swear it\u2019s true. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
But here\u2019s the kicker: is that the only thing that lights us up? Are the ones who don\u2019t cheat just scared they\u2019d get addicted? <\/p>\n\n\n\n
I used to say, \u201cIf you can\u2019t fight temptation, surrender to it.\u201d But now, trying to get serious\u2014or at least fake it\u2014I\u2019ve switched it to, \u201cIf you can\u2019t fight temptation, run\u201d haha \ud83d\udc45 <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Running\u2019s active, surrendering\u2019s passive\u2014Or did I flip that? haha Real talk though, which one’s gonna have us rolling when we’re old and wrinkly? \ud83d\ude02<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Humble opinion, as always, you know me well \ud83d\ude09\u2014traditional love\u2019s a religion. I\u2019m old-school about it: if you\u2019re not ready to padlock the door, don\u2019t even step into a relationship. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Last week, I was chopping it up with a friend: you cheat because you\u2019re bored. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
For me, feelings are bureaucratic BS I\u2019d rather skip, especially when I\u2019m in a phase where I need to stay ice-cold to make moves that hit my goals. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
I stick to friends\u2014on a dull night, you can always call \u2018em, no judgment here. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Once heard someone say, \u201cI don\u2019t cheat unless they cheat on me first, bc anyone who says revenge isn\u2019t a slow-savored dish\u2014while the other thinks they\u2019re forgiven\u2014hasn\u2019t lived.\u201d Damn! All I heard in my head was drama from a rented movie. Jeez! I mean, what century you think this is?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
From my view\u2014always real, you know\u2014cheating\u2019s not about morality or guilt. That stuff\u2019s just baggage from whatever social norms you grew up with, triggering the guilt trip. You know it\u2019s about control, the power play in a relationship. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
I was hashing this out with my girls, and they threw out how flirting or \u201cspecial friends\u201d drag infidelity into the mix. Me? I don\u2019t trip over definitions. Sex is a game you play to win. If they\u2019re sniffing around elsewhere, it\u2019s two things: they\u2019re bored and wanna taste something new (insatiable vibes) or they\u2019re done with the home menu \ud83e\udd37\u200d\u2640\ufe0f<\/p>\n\n\n\n
My critical take: Why sweat rules when it\u2019s all about what you want and can handle? If you\u2019re cheating, you\u2019re switching up the recipe\u2014so ditch the person, then dig into the new flavors haha<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Bc when you\u2019re in a relationship and can handle it, you\u2019re into the slow burn\u2014not the jungle. But someone who rocks being single? They\u2019re thriving in a constant wildfire haha \ud83d\udd25<\/p>\n\n\n\n
For me, if you\u2019re playing, play well. Cheating\u2019s not emotional games or some addiction\u2014if you\u2019re bored or craving more, you take it bc you own it, never from weakness or excuses. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Once, I was in a long-distance thing, and the owner of this kitty wasn’t around, and I don\u2019t sneak\u2014I go straight. I had a business trip coming, and I don\u2019t care what he did in his country, you know what I mean\u2014I live for me, you know\u2014so I broke up with him and left the door cracked \ud83d\ude0e<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Dear readers, power\u2019s in not needing anyone emotionally. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Get this: you don\u2019t cheat on them\u2014you cheat on your own code. No blurry lines in these cheesy curves. It\u2019s not a moral mess; it\u2019s just in your ethics or it\u2019s not. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
We\u2019re all accountable\u2014nobody\u2019s out here dictating what you should feel. It\u2019s about owning your life. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Another philosophy of mine: \u201cThe only way you join me is if you ditch the drama; otherwise, keep walking.\u201d\ud83d\udc7b<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n These cheesy curves aren\u2019t tricky if you know what you want from a emotional connection. It\u2019s not about love\u2014it\u2019s no moral maze if your limits are locked in. Your red lines don\u2019t blur \ud83d\ude12 <\/p>\n\n\n\n Be straight-up\u2014the worst they can say is NO! Haha \ud83d\ude01<\/p>\n\n\n\n Love and rules are for folks who need fences. Me? I don\u2019t break \u2018em\u2014I reinvent \u2018em. Way more fun \ud83d\ude08<\/p>\n\n\n\n I don\u2019t dodge the curve\u2014I draw it myself \ud83d\udca3\ud83d\udca5<\/p>\n\n\n\n Bye now!\ud83d\udc8b\ud83d\udc7d<\/p>\n\n\n Yes or no, no in-betweens here! Doesn\u2019t the title sound sexy? Like the content\u2019s dripping with drama haha. Friends, first off, you need to get this: I\u2019m zero cheesy. If something doesn\u2019t add value, it\u2019s out before the 30-day warranty\u2019s up\u2014that\u2019s why I live by my \u2018rule of 4.\u2019 I learned as a kid that attachments drag you down, keep you stuck in a loop, like those endless Netflix series seasons. The worst part? Another season always drops because we\u2019re hooked on the *possibility*\u2014an illusion that crashes in reality. And us women? Damn, we have a master’s degree in that haha \ud83e\udd26\u200d\u2640\ufe0f One of my philosophies goes, \u201cIllusions are dangerous things.\u201d So this week, we\u2019re hitting topics that fire up any game haha \ud83d\ude3c What\u2019s the gradient for cheating? Does flirting or fantasizing already cross that line? A friend was scribbling traits of waitresses and their restaurants on a tablet\u2014crazy haha.
