She said “You’re always so controlling, telling me what I can and can’t do.” It reminded me of The Office when Michale Scott said to Jan “…you cheated on me when I specifically asked you not to”.

“I didn’t say it was right, I just don’t care” fucked me up man.

“She is a shark and you are a rabbit. She took what she wanted and you let this happen to you. Sharks eat rabbits.”

“Well, you said you love and accept me for who I am with all my flaws! So you also have to accept that I’m sleeping with other women because this is just how I am!”

I was in high school, I showed up at my friend’s house for a birthday party for one of my other friends and walked out back to smoke a cigarette. When I walked outside, the girl I was dating was in the pool, topless, legs wrapped around some guy, and playing tonsil hockey with him.
I alerted her to my presence, walked back inside and she followed a few minutes later.
When she came in and I asked her what was going on her response was, “Well, I called your house and nobody answered. I didn’t know where you were, figured you were out cheating on me, so, I thought I’d return the favor.”
I told her (honestly) that I hadn’t been home because my family had gone to dinner at Red Lobster to celebrate my mom’s birthday.
She apologized, I laughed, we split up…and I actually found out later I dodged a major bullet.

“I thought you were cheating on me, so I got revenge!”

“I only got with you in the first place because my dog died.” Wow, thanks.

When I caught him he he referred to a poem that I shared with him a few months prior. He said “remember ‘the great, blue sky of unspecified desire’ ? Remember when I agreed with that line?” He thought we agreed to sleep with other people…because poetry.
Edit: For everyone asking here is the poem: “How will you know the difficulties of being human, if you’re always flying off to blue perfection? Where will you plant your grief-seeds? We need ground to scrape and hoe, not the sky of unspecified desire.” – Rumi Yeah….I still can’t see how he got “open relationship” out this.

My friend from college was fooling around during a party and his girlfriend heard it was happening, so she ran to his room and nearly broke the door down. He was busted red-handed, naked with the other girl. In his drunken stupor, he grabbed his flaccid dick, waved it at his girlfriend and said, “Baby, it doesn’t mean anything to me, my dick’s not even hard!”

My ex-husband, 21 years ago. I was pregnant with our son. At 5 months I was 3 cm dilated and had already had my labor stopped several times. I was on bed rest and told no sex. He felt completely justified in going out and finding some. He never would concede that it was cheating. It was my job to take care of his needs and he felt completely within his rights to get it elsewhere if I refused.

“Well you were looking at porn. It’s the same thing.”
And then after marriage counseling, which she wanted to try to save the marriage since we had a young child, when she wouldn’t stop sleeping around…
“We may have been in counseling but that doesn’t mean we are together so it’s not cheating.”
And then I finally filed for divorce.
