Cheating on Facebook

Friday, September 12th, 2014

Is cheating on Facebook still cheating? According to my boyfriend and many other people out there, it is. I have my own story to tell on the subject. There was this guy who was simply breathtaking (and girlfriend taking I might add) on my friend’s list. This was a kid we’d all known in school but would never have taken a second look at, as he was just this skinny little thing back then. Who would have ever thought that he’d show up years later beautiful, buff and tatted up?

Well, everyone knows when they post pictures and status updates or other things on Facebook, and one person seems to be popping up with “likes” and comments more than others that there is something to it, especially if it is a member of the opposite sex! This is exactly what happened to me with this guy. Over time it went from posting on my statuses to private messaging me. This could not have come at a worse time in my life as my boyfriend and I were having problems. The problems were the result of being together for 5 years and being bored, or so I thought at the time.

In any case, I began to believe I was developing real feelings for this guy and we started talking more and more. I almost considered leaving my boyfriend for him on a couple of occasions. However, it wasn’t long before my boyfriend caught on and started getting suspicious. This was when it hit me that I was cheating, actually cheating. I may not have been physically cheating but I was emotionally cheating, and to some people that is even worse.

After the dust settled from the huge blow out we had over my Facebook partner in crime I realized what had happened. I was still angry with my boyfriend about a lie he had told me almost a year prior! The lie wasn’t even all that big but it had somehow destroyed my trust. My “relationship” with my Facebook friend was my way of getting even. It turns out cheating is cheating, whether it is done in person or on a social networking site. It also turns out that cheating on Facebook is a great way to get your boyfriend’s attention!

In the end, my partner in crime wound up running off with some girl (who was married) and disappearing shortly after I stopped talking to him. Unfortunately, that hasn’t stopped my boyfriend from looking over my shoulder whenever I am on Facebook, and it is a safe bet that he will be doing that for a long time to come. The moral to the story is that revenge is never a good thing, especially if you are taking it out on someone you truly love by cheating in some way.
