I have an extremely attractive male colleague – well groomed, cheeky & touchy when out drinking. He publicly posts about his current partner on his social accounts but he always ends a party night out with different girls, often going back to his place.
While I don’t condone cheating, he seems to get a kick out of it – both him and the girls. The thing is, why aren’t the girls compelled to tell his current partner when it’s so easy to track her and drop a message?
Some of the girls are even attached but what is the science behind this? What are the chances of a girl reporting when she’s:
1) single
2) in a relationship.
It seems affairs are everywhere but often kept under the blankets.

- My ex cheated on me multiple times. The people he cheated/flirted with were people who somehow knew me. As much as I was hurt by the betrayal, I am also hurt by the lack of action to protect me from fellow women. It has affected me to this day. I have trust issues with friendships too. A part of me wished they had told me or protected me. But they were enabling his behaviour. But also in retrospect, I wondered if I would believe them if I was told back then.
- If the girls already are in a relationship and know that he’s also in a relationship are not inclined to tell his partner about it if they are also cheating. Not sure if anyone really dares to snitch on this kind of things especially if someone in the relationship has anger issues. If you want just tell her. If you do you really have balls and I salute you.
- Morally i agree it’s the right thing to do to tell someone when theyre partner is cheating but it’s unfortunately pretty complicated especially if you dont know the person being cheated on. They could choose not to believe you or even accuse you of trying to destroy the relationship. But i guess youve done your part by telling them and how they choose to react is on them, but it sucks that good intentions can backfire sometimes.
