No, I Don't Feel Bad Your Partner Left After You Cheated

You did this to yourself, and now I have no sympathy.

No, I Don't Feel Bad Your Partner Left After You Cheated
Esquire

Breakups happen all the time. Sometimes people get tired of one another, other times they split because of distance. However, sometimes things end more tragically, with one partner finding out that the other has cheated.

I myself have been a victim of getting cheated on. It's a horrible situation to be in, and I would never wish it upon anyone. I have also seen countless relationships end due to cheating and following that, I have seen countless cheating girls (and guys) sob over how they lost their significant other.

Being a girl, I know that our gender is more likely to cause drama than the guys — sorry girls, it's true and you know it. This means that angry/hateful tweets, spiteful Snapchat stories, and a thousand shared Facebook quotes invade every facet of social media that a girl has. You can click on a girl's profile and see posts about how she is constantly bawling her eyes out and is angry at the world.

You might even see her in public with mascara stained cheeks and bloodshot eyes, rambling on about how her partner left her because she made 'one mistake.'

That being said, I want to express that I don't feel at all bad for those individuals. Maybe you just scoffed at your screen after reading that, or completely disagree and think I am some monster individual, but in my eyes, it's true.

Someone who broke their partner's heart and led them on does not deserve condolences.

Anyone who has or knows someone who has been cheated on knows what kind of feelings it brings. Being one of those people, I have learned to not care when a girl is crying that her boyfriend or girlfriend left her because she was unfaithful.

One mistake could be anything. Hooking up with another person at a party, flirting with someone else and lying about it, sending borderline risqué Snapchats. If you have done something like this while your partner sat at home thinking everything was okay, you deserve to have them walk out on you.

Once the partner finds out that they have been cheated on, their world crashes down. Their hearts crumble and their mind is filled with thoughts they never wanted. They ask themselves why they weren't good enough, what they did besides loving their partner unconditionally, why they deserve this— the worst part is, they are led to believe it is their faults.

The fact that a girl knows exactly what they did and continues to make it out to be their partner's fault is always mind-boggling to me.

They march around making everyone feel bad for them because not many people know the true story. Then, everyone starts ganging up on the real victim, aka the partner, slandering them and telling them they made huge mistakes. This just adds more stress to the guy or girl and overdramatizes the entire situation.

The girl will hide the fact that she is still torturing the boy and fighting him and pretend that she is the more hurt one. Sometimes the girl will lead him/her on and still act like she loves them. Why is this okay? Then everyone is going to console her and give her all of the attention while the partner is hurting and trying to heal on their own.

All this being said, I am not just coming at girls. There are so many guys out there that tend to do the same thing. However, I see girls starting drama more when they have done something wrong in comparison to guys.

To those select boys that do this too, I have no sympathy for any of you, either.

So, next time you hear about a bad break-up, you might go on Facebook to find endless sad quotes. You might open up Twitter to find slandering tweets and the girl updating her bio to something melodramatic. You might even get on Snapchat to find crying selfies or suggestive mirror pics showing off what the girl's partner 'let go.'

Before assuming the girl is the victim and taking her side, check the other boy or girl's profile. They just might be asking for help to recover from such a horrible experience. As for these girls, I'm addressing — well, you played yourself.

I certainly do not feel bad.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Challah vs. Easter Bread: A Delicious Dilemma

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.
