I read that Candice Swanepoel was rumored to have ended her long time relationship after her fiance cheated on her. She was with him from age 17 and they have two young kids (that part of the story mirrors my own).
She is widely regarded to be one of the most beautiful supermodels in the world. They have disposable income, travel the world, and I imagine she has loads of body confidence. Truly, nothing can stop a cheater if they want to cheat. There really is no preventing it, by being pretty, fit, successful, or any other quality you can think of. It puts my mind slightly at ease about the feeling I have about "losing" to the OW. There really is no pick me dance I could have done to "win."

Infidelity has nothing to do with the betrayed partner.
It doesn’t matter how pretty you are, how fit you are, how much sex you have, how good the sex is, how rich you are, how poor you are, how nice you are, or how much of an asshole you are.
It has nothing to do with you.

the unfortunate part of this reality is the possibility that this can happen to anyone, including my children. I hate HATE! the idea of them experiencing any of the pain of infidelity. It makes me nauseous thinking of it. It makes me angry to think about it. I have been with my WH since I was 15. I thought we were unique in all of our connections. how we viewed our sexuality and how we were such a part of each other…and I felt we were completely on the same page in so many areas of our life. Move forward 35 years and I learn that a lot of it was all an illusion. A one sided existence. even living in our ways he contributed to my self image issues but at the time I believed in his honor towards me. hindsight is 20/20. our world will never be that amazing feeling of being special. There’s a lesson in things aren’t always as they appear. People just sometimes suck

It looks like Amber Heard cheated on Johnny Depp with Elon Musk. Who cheats on Johnny Depp?!
Swoon!
My DIL cheated on my son, got pregnant, and left him.
That happened about over a year ago and he just now starting to come out of the depression from it. I think that hurt me more than my own FCH cheating on me.
It really can happen to anyone and has nothing to do with the BP.

The thread about sex today raised this again for me. You read it and realise it doesn’t matter whether you’re beautiful, clever, funny, successful in your career, a model mother/father a culinary genius in the kitchen and a deviant in the bedroom, if they’re going to cheat, they’re going to cheat.
It really is all about them.
Nothing to do with the BS at all.
When you can’t control what’s happening, challenge yourself to control the way you respond to what’s happening. That’s where the power is.

When i see stunningly beautiful, smart, successful, kind people being cheated on...it really just drives home the fact that it's not about the BS at all. It is 100% a shit decision by the WS.
One of the hardest things to do in life is letting go of what you thought was real.

Freaking Beyoncé and Jay-Z!!!’ Not a fan of either of them but let’s face it, he doesn’t quite match her in looks. She’s beautiful, successful and has her own money. He cheated and rushed that.
