Which would you think it’s your fault? Cheating is a choice made by the person who has cheated. You mustn’t blame yourself
Has he said that it is your fault, if he has then I would not believe him, as it could be used to make you feel bad about his mistake
I just went through this same thing with my boyfriend of 6 years.... For the second time. While I think everyone needs to take a look inside their heart, HE made the choice to cheat!!!!! that is not on you, that is on him. The issue I am dealing with is if he blames you (or me, or anyone but himself) How will it stop. The healthiest thing to do is for him to take responsibility for his actions.
I been there too when some1 cheats it is always easier to blame someone else then to look in themselves at the real reason they cheated was themselves. I used to feel bad and thought it was my fault but we dont hold it for them nor stand there and tell them it is ok to cheat.
