Did you cheat on your partner? Here’s a 7-step break-up guide (guy version)

If you’ve cheated on your partner and she wants to break up with you, you deserve it. Two timing women doesn’t make you a player, it makes you a trickster. If you’re in the relationship only for sex, make your intentions clear or grow up. Here’s a gentleman’s way of dealing with a break-up after you’ve cheated.

1. Leave her alone
You’ve already gone and hurt her pretty bad, the worse you can do is beg her to get back to you. You could ask for forgiveness but forcing her to take you back after you’ve gone and f*#K!d things up, only makes you a sore loser. Give her time to think about whether you’re worth or not, and whatever decision she takes is on herself.

2. Don’t be a jerk
If you’re dating the girl you’ve cheated on your girlfriend with, at least save her the agony of you being seen in common places your ex and you used to hand out at. She’s already hurting pretty bad, the least you can do is not make it worse.

3. Answer calls
You’re probably too busy doing the nasties with your new girl, but don’t you think you owe your ex a little time for having loved a jerk like you? She’s probably going to call to cry, curse or vent her anger. Well, you went and f%^k^d things up, so man up and answer her calls at least until she’s managed to move on.

4. Don’t call her names
She’s mad at you because you cheated, she might abuse you, and this doesn’t mean that you should retaliate. Remember that you’re the one who broke her heart so you have no rights to call her names, up to her face or among common friends.

5. Don’t try to two time
If you cheated and you’re trying to get the better deal out of it, you should give up. It really doesn’t work that way. Sooner or later you’re bound to get caught and lose both of them. Come clean and tell her the truth.

6. Who she’s dating is not your business
If she’s found a rebound guy or new love, just let her be. She’s finally managed to get over you and is trying to find love again. Stop bugging her by asking her about her new guy, you cheated because you though she wasn’t good enough for you, you don’t get to decide who’s good enough for her.

7. Make things right
If you’re ex is sweet enough to talk to you even a year after you cheated, consider yourself lucky. It sure as hell doesn’t mean she wants to get into your pants, so be nice and cherish the friendship. A lot of guys don’t get the chance.

Cheating is not cool, nobody has the rights to play with people’s emotions. If you’re looking for a fling or a one night stand, make your intentions clear to your partner. But if you’re in a relationship, you’re a committed person, be loyal and stay in love. This goes for both guys and girls.
