(disclaimer: I'm a cynical bastard who laughs at the misfortune of others, especially my own).

Ai, so I want to make one thing clear before I start this story. My online life never crosses with my life in the real world. What I do here does not affect what happens to me on the outside. It seems perfectly logical for me to have a girlfriend and then for my fursona to have his own separate mate because its two completely different people. Now then, onto the story.

So, it was late at work and I was telling my manager how I felt a bit bad because in a moment of weakness I had cheated on my girlfriend (I didn't sleep with anyone damnit, I just made out with a close friend). Though I won't justify this, it didn't happen simply because I had a hard on. It was a combination of her parents telling her I'm some sick bastard who isn't to be trusted (guess I proved them right) simply because I was Mormon and her never really seeming happy with me (yeah, relationship is effed, I know) because I didn't sleep with her (I kinda like being a virgin, thank you XD). When my manager heard that I was feeling like a jerk for cheating on her, he proceeded to tell me this:

October 31st I had plans to take said girlfriend to a halloween party. Two hours before I was going to pick her up, she calls and cancels, saying she doesn't feel well. Deciding, "Hey, we've only been dating a week, what reason would I have not to trust her" I was ok with it and went to go watch the House on Haunted Hill with my best friend. It turns out that not only did she go to said costume party, but she slept with some random dude who she had just met at the party (now keep in mind, this was before I started denying her sex) and not only didn't feel guilty about it, but had the nerve to tell me she loved me a day later (why she said that is beyond me *shrugs*).

Now, I'm not justifying what I did. But I think its hilarious that everyone at my job has known that my girlfriend has been cheating on me behind my back for almost 2 months now, and this is the first I've heard of it. It actually made me laugh and made me feel glad that I cheated on her. Why? Because I'm cynical.

Now, before you go "well maybe they wouldn't cheat on you if you had a soul" bear in mind that A) Even though I chose to become cynical, having almost every girl you date (especially the ones you kinda really begin to like) cheat on you helped a lot and B) I've been busting up laughing since I heard this (call it a defense mechanism).

It just makes me smile is all. I'm not bitter towards her, she just reiterates my "people will screw you if you're not always wary" theory. I'll admit its kind of depressing that I don't trust anyone anymore, but its kinda nicer than knowing people will fail you and trusting them not to anyway.


Anyway, I'm not depressed, nor do I need people to cheer me up, boo at her/me for being a horrible person/people. I just thought I'd share a story that made me lol.
