The best thing you can say to a cheating spouse? It’s not a tirade. It’s not a sob story. It’s this: “Congratulations, you just made the easiest decision of my life for me.”
Let’s break this down. You see, in life, when someone shows you who they truly are, you should thank them. They’ve done the work for you. They’ve shown you, beyond a shadow of a doubt, where they stand. And where is that? Not with you. Not in respect. Not in loyalty.
You’re not going to waste your breath on yelling, crying, or pleading. Why would you?
That’s like negotiating with a shark not to bite you. It’s in their nature. It’s what they do. A cheater cheats. End of story.
Instead, you pivot. You turn this moment of betrayal into the most powerful decision of your life. You choose yourself. While they chose someone else over you, you choose not to play second fiddle, not to be the backup plan, not to be the one who sticks around begging for scraps of loyalty or honesty.
“Congratulations…,” because they unwittingly did you a favor. They cut the dead weight from your life without you having to lift a finger. They showed you the exit sign in a maze of lies.
You take this moment. You forge it into your wake-up call. This isn’t about getting even. This is about getting better, about reminding yourself of your worth, your value, your path. You don’t chase after them; you chase after the life you deserve, without them weighing you down.
Then, you move on. Not because it’s easy, but because it’s necessary. You build a life so filled with success, happiness, and self-respect, that looking back feels like trying to read a sign in your rearview mirror at 100 miles per hour. You’re moving too fast, too brilliantly, towards your future to ever bother with what’s behind you.
Remember, there’s no room for someone who sees your value as negotiable in the empire of your life. You’re the CEO, and bad investments get cut. Simple.
So, what’s the best thing to say to a cheating spouse? Thank them for their service as they’ve just shown you they don’t deserve a spot in the empire you’re building. Then, turn around and never look back. This isn’t about them; it’s about you, always has been, always will be.
The best thing you can say to a cheating spouse? It's not a tirade. It's not a sob story. It's this: Congratulations, you just made the easiest decision of my life for me. When someone shows you who they truly are, you should thank them!
