The ‘Fact’ Twitter Page Drops The Most Intriguing And Sometimes Uncomfortable Truths About Life And Here Are 40 Of Them

I would also argue that the people who should be in power are smart enough to know how terrible having that job would actually be!

Both your comment and the original post: Trump...

Oops. It fell out and into....

Actually, one can't always walk away.... but if the current is that strong, the cheater has some serious underlying issues that are even worse than the cheating, as hard as that is to reflect on. Note: NOT defending cheaters, but have a lifetime of learning about my own and others' driving factors and it's scarier than many folks could possibly imagine

I share this, and also much dislike things like this being called "mistakes", as the gravity of this is life altering and generally not amenable. Although it occurs to me that anyone calling cheating a mistake may not have been truly committed in the first place.

Me too. One thing led to another because you put yourself in a position so it would.

Lol, you have a likely very accurate assessment of such a person.

It is, in the strictest sense, a sexually intimate encounter outside of a (supposedly) committed and mutually agreed to monogamous relationship. Many folks expand this to include other types of intimacy, often emotional, as well.

Have any friends or family members warned you about people? If so, listen to their warnings if you don't have those warnings yourself.

Stardust, you are stronger than you know and deserve every ounce of happiness 😊

Yeah, I am one of those people who see the red flags AFTERWARDS and then wonder how I could have missed them

Sometimes we are SO wounded, jaded, twisted, whatever, that these things don't work anymore. My solution is to put myself cautiously in every possible situation (which is to say could be anywhere- try not to get too overwhelmed) and keep watch for anyone who tells my story and try to trust and emulate them.... always look for others in their friend circle that are similar, too, as anyone operating alone is almost always danger in my experience, as folks like me don't function without some kind of support, emotional and spiritual transparency, and **consistency of behavior and beliefs/philosophy and disdain for contradiction**...... not perfect but better success than any other option imo

You do know. You're just not aware. You feel things and blame yourself. Pay attention to how you feel around someone and trust that feeling. Don't question it, don't look for the good. Just act on how you feel. TRUST YOURSELF. I'd wager you were abused in some way when you were a child and forced to "behave." REJECT THAT.

Stardust, that's actually surprisingly common, especially for people pleasers, or people who have grown up in abusive households and whatnot. I am good at warning others about toxic people, but I'm rarely able to do it for myself. I'm sorry to hear you've had those experiences; definitely make sure you listen if other people warn you.

Run them by me first; for some reason I'm great at finding the rotten apples in the bunch! Not my own, I've been lucky, but my daughter? Oh boy!

As others said quite well, it is a matter of learning to watch, listen and hear what someone is truly saying. I'm trusting to a fault, and it took me a good 40 years to trust my reaction. Even little things like unconsciously leaning away or tensing up, for examples, are you knowing to be on your guard. It takes learning to trust yourself(and that can be really hard) to suss out someone else's true self. You'll get there! We've got faith in you! ☮️

These people are usually very desirable - on the surface.

Just means you need to practice listening to yourself more. Your gut instinct is there, but as women we're conditioned to doubt ourselves for so long, we don't even know how to trust ourselves any more.

Some of us subconsciously gravitate to toxic people, sometimes because we don't believe we deserve better. Otherwise the law of averages would make us expect to find someone decent once in a while, even if it's an accident

I thought everyone had the same intestines. Huh. That's amazing.

Oh god, I LOVE that book. Makes me cry.
