A selfish person would have actually cheated, you aren't in denial of anything, and I'm sure many people would prefer that to a cheating liar.
I'd say the person you responded to read your story through the lens of their own personal history, but then I guess I'm guilty of the same.
- LurkingPenguin 5y agoBeing selfish means that you are concerned excessively or exclusively with yourself. In a relationship, you can't say "I didn't cheat and therefore I am not selfish." There are many behaviors that most people would reasonably consider "selfish" that don't involve infidelity. Not sure what my personal history has to do with this obvious fact.
