15 Excuses For Cheating That Are So Bad They Should Be Illegal

No excuse justifies cheating, yet some dare to offer one! A user recently queried, "Worst excuse for cheating?" and here are the top replies!

YOU AREN’T EXACTLY MY TYPE

“‘You aren’t exactly my type’ – Actual quote after three years of living together.” 

NEVER SLEPT WITH A BLACK GIRL

“In my first college semester, a girl in Psychology 101 revealed that her boyfriend cheated because he wanted to experience being with a black girl."

I LIKE YOU MORE

"My ex tried to seduce my close friend. When confronted, she admitted liking him but claimed to like me more. That was the end."

IT SHOULDN’T MATTER AS SHE IS YOUR TWIN

“She’s your twin; does it count as cheating?”.

IT JUST HAPPENED

“It just happened,” said one.  “Ding ding ding, we have a winner! This one has always driven me crazy! There are many outs along the path to infidelity,” another added. 

SHE’S WAY HOTTER THAN YOU

“She’s way hotter than you,” said one.  “This is like killing someone only to bring them back to life and kill them again,” another added.

I COULDN’T SEE AS IT WAS DARK

"One couldn't see in the dark. Another shared a tale of a wife excusing herself in identical circumstances, claiming to mistake her husband. They remain married."<

I WAS DRUNK

“‘I was drunk and wasn’t thinking clearly.’ I don’t care, I’m out.” 

COULDN’T HELP MYSELF BECAUSE I’M ARIES

“My ex told me he cheated because he was Aries (zodiac sign), and because of that, he couldn’t help himself.”

HAD TO DO IT MATHEMATICALLY

“I calculated the odds of ever getting together with a Portuguese waitress. Mathematically, I had to do it.”

I WAS MAD AT YOU

“‘I was mad at you from the fight we had.’ Not to mention that the fight started because he had lied to me and then continued to gaslight me when I found out.”

EVERYBODY CHEATS

"'Everybody cheats' is a cheater's excuse. While many experience cheating, most don't cheat. Cheaters' frequency over-represents them."

YOU WEREN’T GIVING ME THE ATTENTION I NEEDED

“‘You weren’t giving me the attention I needed.’ There is no excuse for cheating, but this is by far the worst.” 

I WASN’T TRYING TO HURT YOU
