It makes no sense to beat the shit out of him when it;s the woman is the one who is cheating

It was a video on social media 2 weeks ago with a guy discovering his woman on a date with another guy and he kicked her ass and never even confronted the guy

When the ex screwed it up w/ me, she did the deed with an old riding buddy. Far from blaming him ( I knew she was setting him up) I felt sorry for the poor stupid s.o.b.

I’m pretty sure my ex completely blamed me and not the woman I was caught with. And I completely accepted responsibility.

Is that why so many unattractive women have high self esteem? lol
