Is Cheating Only Okay In Uno?
My grandmother cheated all the time in Uno. We've been playing Uno together since I was about 3 or 4. Sure, way back then I'd just throw random colours down, but once I got better I noticed my grandmother getting much better too. Then one day a card fell out of her sleeve and the jig was up.
My grandmother was scamming me in Uno.
People cheat in card games and on tests they're not ready for, but they also cheat on people they're in relationships with.
I originally typed in love with but I feel like they're should be an asterix next to it saying
*"in love"
* in love with, but was drunk
* in love with, but were currently fighting
* in love, but drinking
* pretending to be in love
etc.
So we'll stick with ''in a relationship'' for now, because there are so many different situations and circumstances that I can't judge. Well, I can. I just may not be anywhere near the correct story.
I'm proud to say I've never cheated on anyone I was in a relationship with. I'm not all angel wings and gold stars though. I've always been completely honest here, so I'll admit it - I've helped someone cheat. I wasn't proud of it then, and I'm not proud of it now. I still get embarassed when I think about it. In the end, the girl told me she was infact glad it happened. He really was a piece of shit. It's a shame it took us both so long to figure it out. Anyway, that is a very long story and I'm glad I owned up to it and apologized to her. And threw his house key off the 10th floor of my apartment building into the snow 2 years ago. That felt REALLY good.
But back to the point. I don't think I could cheat. I'd feel so horrible. KCat and I have talked about it and we've both agreed that if either of us ever cheats, it's over. We couldn't live with the knowledge that the other one had did something like that and neither of us would be able to move on from it. I think if you truly love someone, you can fight those urges whether you're in a fight or you're extremely drunk, etc.
You're probably thinking ''some people get so drunk they don't know what they're doing''. Sorry sweetheart, but it's not an admissible defence in a court of law and it sure as hell isn't admissible in my court of love.
Judge ruling - you're NEVER so drunk that you don't know what you're doing.
You don't wanna kiss that other person? Keep your mouth attached to a glass of water. You don't wanna dance with that person? Take a seat. Keep your ass on that chair.
Regardless of how much I drink, I ALWAYS have the knowledge that I'm in an exclusive and committed relationship with someone I really care about.
I know people who have cheated and it made me look at them differently, even if they were (or are) friends of mine. This girl I used to know in highschool swore she loved her boyfriend. He's all anyone ever heard about and she pasted quotes about true love all over the place. He was literally her world. And then she cheated on him. Twice. When he was at the same parties. I think she also cheated once when he wasn't there, I can't exactly remember.
It's insane that I don't know how many times she cheated because she cheated SO MANY TIMES.
I can understand why some people cheat, but that doesn't mean I like it or think they had good reasons. Break up with the person first. I've been cheated on by 2 boyfriends. One I didn't care about, I was looking for a good excuse to break up. But the other one, it really stung. Be human enough to end it.
I thought she was pretty, she's nothing like the things you said
The woman you described couldn't even turn your head
The two of you looked lost inside a world all your own
Like you couldn't wait to get her alone
So I guess that means that things are better
They must not be so bad at home
I thought it looked like you were leaving, but it don't.
And I heard you tell her you still love her
So it doesn't matter what you say
I saw it all from a table away
And that's where you're gonna stay, a table away.
