I (26f) have a brother (30m) “David”. David has been married to “Katey” for 6 years before he cheated on her with “Candice”.
Honestly I loved Katey, even she was rather quiet and introverted, she was always interesting to talk to, helpful and I loved how serious she was about her hobbies. Like she wouldn’t let anything to stop her doing what she loves and she would work hard for it. So once we found out that David has been cheating on her with another woman, we were shocked, since David said he will never do that to her.
David has separated with Katey and started a relationship with Candice. I’m not a big fan of her as she is not nearly as helpful or nice as Katey, always gives unsolicited advise and generally behaves and speaks as if she is more important then everyone else in the room. However David seems to be totally in love with her.
Recently I have told David that I don’t feel comfortable inviting Candice to my and my boyfriend’s house due to her behavior and how their relationship started. David didn’t like that and started an argument with me, during this argument I have mentioned how much better Katey was and that he was a fool for loosing her and David said that his sore throat syndrome made him cheat on Katey and she should of understood and forgiven him, but she didn’t. I have called him dumb for blaming his condition on cheating and said if my boyfriend have told me the same thing as he told Katey, I would of left as well.
Now my brother got offended and have called me “insensitive brat”. The family is split, my parents believe I should apologise to him, while some of my siblings said I did the right thing.
Here are what netizens think:
- Exactly how he is claiming his sore throat made him cheat? Like what is the justification? Signed, another person that is full of S.
- That’s straight bull. He’s either supremely dumb or lying
- Well then he is fully and thoroughly enabled to get out of jail free anytime . Just imagine, he has realized that he can never do anything wrong because he always has the best excuse. And this isn’t gonna help him build a good life and it’s not gonna help him really appreciate anyone else.
