]]> Comment on The Rationalization Behind Cheating by zamee http://thoughtrefuse.wordpress.com/2009/02/06/the-rationalization-behind-cheating/#comment-243 zamee Sat, 18 Jul 2009 03:16:52 +0000 http://thoughtrefuse.wordpress.com/2009/02/06/the-rationalization-behind-cheating/#comment-243 What a telling and refreshingly lucid piece of writing. I have just discovered that my boyfriend of 2 and a half years has been unfaithful to me, starting approximately one month ago. We were in a long distance relationship which compounds the feelings of hurt even more. Obviously, I am extremely hurt and he is in total denial, taking the role of victim and trying to rationalise and defend his actions, mostly by piling the blame onto me. Some very hurtful things have been said by him to me, but tellingly, they reveal a very distorted view of things. With the benefit of hindsight, I can now clearly see that he had also been projecting his feelings of guilt directly onto me, sending accusatory text messages questioning my fidelity, which left me extremely hurt and angry at the time. It is very early days yet, and the pain will die down but I wonder if he will ever truly come to realise the damage caused and the depth and consequences of his denial.

It's for my own personal self-expression. I'm glad you took something away from the article, Lynn. I guess "dude" didn't, but those are the breaks, I guess. :) Admittedly, I don’t take the greatest care in proofreading my blog, but I’m also not in the business of producing an ad revenue blog.

You wrote the blog very well. I think the only reason that other person "couldn't finish reading" your blog is because it actually stimulates brain cells, something they lack (besides maybe attention span).

Second Life is definitely interesting in little game. Something more akin to a sociological experiment in actuality. The version your reading now is post edit if memory serves me. I think I corrected two sentence structure mistakes. Thanks for taking the time to read the article Lynn. Second Life is definitely interesting in little game.

It's not often that I run into someone who thinks or sees Second Life in such a way. I've been watching those situations happen on and off since beta. It's only become larger with the expansion and explosion of the population. My biggest fear is people will perceive this type of hyperspeed relationship (2 months of "love" with someone and then zipping on to the next "love of their life") as normal. As for the spelling/grammar comment. Is the read I am looking at right now the edited edition or what you wrote? It didn't seem all that bad to me. This has been a very excellent read.

Venezuela does in fact post a more ideological threat to the us. I know a very good foreign policy blog that touches down on Venezuela and in more depth, the drug trade from South and Central America, it is at http://rethinkingsecurity.typepad.com/. Anyways, great post. pacer521 I agree with you, huxbux. Venezuela does in fact post a more ideological threat to the us.
