Looks like karma has come full circle for this cheating ex, as she’s now begging for forgiveness after her new fling crashed and burned!
On September 19, 2024, a Reddit user, doingthemost88, shared a lengthy post detailing the messy aftermath of a breakup he’s currently facing.
Using fake names, the user referred to his ex as ‘Megan’, narrating how over a year ago, his committed three-year relationship with her fell apart when she left him for their personal trainer, ‘Jake’. He recalled,
“Jake… and Megan hit it off, but I didn’t think much of it—just assumed they had a good trainer-client relationship. After a few months of them working together… One night, Megan… admitted she’d been cheating with him for months. She told me she fell in love with Jake and… moved in with him”.
Before this shocking betrayal, Megan and the user were having serious conversations about their future together, including discussions of marriage. This made the cheating scandal even more devastating.
Further adding to the emotional blow, the user shared how Jake was originally hired to train him, but he introduced Megan to the trainer, unknowingly setting the stage for his future heartbreak. Reflecting on his emotional state after the shocking revelation, he wrote,
“That was the worst time of my life. It felt like my entire world had been ripped apart… [I] focused on picking up the pieces of my life… even though it left a deep scar”.
Ex-Girlfriend Looks For A Fresh Start With Her Former Boyfriend After Betrayal
After moving in with Jake, Megan’s new relationship quickly took a turn for the worse. She soon got a taste of her own medicine when the charismatic trainer cheated on her with other women, leaving her to face the painful reality of betrayal.
As her life began to unravel, Megan reached out to her ex-boyfriend, the Reddit user, after months of ghosting him. Not only did she ask for his forgiveness, but she also sought a second chance at their relationship.
Describing their latest conversation, he wrote in the post,
“Then, out of the blue, a few days ago, she reached out to me on a new number… She started off saying she missed me, that she’s sorry for everything, and that she’s made a huge mistake”.
Megan also confessed to him that her relationship with Jake had ended after she discovered his infidelity. Reflecting on the toll it had taken on her well-being, she shared how deeply it affected her. The anonymous user added,
“Now she’s stuck, lonely, and miserable… She said she realizes what she had with me was real and that she wants to make things right. She claimed she’s willing to do anything to prove she’s changed…”
They concluded their post by asking the online community for advice on whether they should forgive her and give the relationship another chance or move on for good.
Statistics Reveal High Risk Of Infidelity Linked To Gym Membership
A survey conducted by popular dating site Ashley Madison in 2018 revealed a concerning correlation between gym membership and infidelity.
Among the 1100 participants surveyed by the site, nearly three-quarters of gym members admitted that they exercised primarily to maintain their extramarital relationships. This suggests that a significant portion of gym-goers are actively involved in cheating on their partners.
The survey further highlighted that the gym is the fifth most common venue where individuals meet and engage in infidelity. This finding underscores how gym environments can sometimes foster opportunities for cheating.
Moreover, relationship and sex expert Jessica Leoni noted that the risk of cheating at the gym increased due to the elevated libidos people experienced after a pumping workout.
In an interview with the Daily Star on January 5, 2024, Leoni stated,
“Research shows that testosterone can spike for up to an hour after heading to the gym. This behavior can have an extraordinary effect on your sex drive and that’s why gyms are a hotbed for affair seekers… Looking for potential flings over looking good yourself is a definite possibility”.
Online Commentators Urge Reddit User To Move On And Ignore Cheating Ex’s Plea
The Reddit community overwhelmingly advised the anonymous poster not to waste any more time on his ex-girlfriend. Many users shared the common belief that ‘once a cheater, always a cheater’, urging him to move on. Several such comments read,
“If you take her back she will know that she can cheat on you again because there are no consequences”.
“ You’re probably a good Guy and want to be her Knight in shining armor. Don’t. She can figure her life out just fine. Once a cheater, always a cheater”.
“You are her Plan B. And just in case you were wondering, she always figured you would take her back if her test drive with Jake didn’t work out”.
In the end, the consensus is clear: moving on and closing this painful chapter is the best course of action. However, only time will tell if the user chooses forgiveness or a clean break.
