Don’t ever let someone gaslight you into thinking what Rob the Knob did to Sophie was any less dishonest or selfish than physical cheating is. Physical cheating just hurts most of us in a different way. He didn’t do her any favors by soliciting inappropriate videos from women. He still snuck around behind her back and had sexual interactions with other people… twice. Ultimately, you decide what cheating is in your relationship, but please, don’t believe this “it could’ve been worse 🤷‍♂️” bullshit.

And maybe slam the door in the face of someone who shows up to apologize with a single rose… for cheating the 2nd time. You could probably do worse 🤷‍♀️

    Too late. I’ve been there and done that. But it was a HUGE learning experience for me and I’ve learned to recognize it and never let it happen to me again. Watching this is like watching what I went through all over again and it breaks my heart. I just hope that Sophie can come out of this and learn from it as well.

      I believe she will. She’s a smart and capable woman with at least some good support in her mom. She knows what she should do, but like you and I (assuming), she feels trapped and is blinded by his manipulation or what she’s interpreting as “love”. She has lots of time to figure it out still.
