I hate how normalized cheating is

It feels like everywhere I look, cheating is treated as no big deal. Movies, TV shows, social media – it’s either romanticized, joked about, or brushed off like it’s just something people do. What happened to loyalty and respect in relationships?

It’s so frustrating to see people justifying it with excuses like “the relationship was already over” or “people aren’t meant to be monogamous.” If you’re unhappy, communicate or leave – don’t betray someone who trusts you.

Cheating doesn’t just hurt the person being cheated ont ruins trust for future relationships and leaves emotional scars that take years to heal. But somehow, the cheater often gets sympathy or a free pass, while the person who was cheated on gets blamed for “not being enough.”

I get that relationships can be complicated, but this casual acceptance of infidelity needs to stop. Can we normalize accountability and honesty instead?
