Today, I caught my boyfriend cheating on me. He claimed it wasn't cheating because he's not romantically attracted to her. FML

People who cheat always have the dumbest excuses. If you loved someone you wouldn't cheat on them, period. At least end the relationship first. I'm sorry this happened to you, OP. Being cheated on sucks.

I never understood why even bother to make excuses when they are already cheating. They obviously don't care, they wouldn't have cheated, if they did.

Sometimes people honestly don't know. He may have actually believed what he said and is truly sorry.

The stupid excuses that people make just amazes me...

Sorry to hear that OP, but it could be worse, he could be cheating on you with your sister.

Cheating is cheating. It'll hurt just as bad, doesn't matter who he screws behind OP's back. There really is no "it could be worse" with this one.

30: Ohhhhh yeah there is. OP was inly betrayed by one person, imagine being betrayed by two at the same time.

That's when you sleep with another guy and use the same excuse and then bring this up when he gets upset. For added sting, say the other guy is better.

So then she's a cheater on the same level as him? Better to just cut her losses and move on rather than being immature about it.

I figured most people on this site understood the concept of sarcasm. Guess not.

A lot of people actually comment on FMLs like this with suggestions like yours, except they're being serious. My apologies.

no need for her to stoop down to his level. she's better off being with someone who shows her respect that a lady deserves, or being a respectable independent woman.

It's like a never ending cycle of stupidity with your ex-boyfriend (hopefully). Stupid enough to cheat, stupid enough to cheat with a girl he isn't attractive to (so he claims), and stupid enough to think that excuse would work. Stupid stupid stupid...

Not -romantically- attracted to. There are many kinds of attraction. Sexual, romantic, aesthetic, platonic. He may have found this girl sexually attractive but not romantically so. That is entirely possible, as is the reverse. Sexual and romantic attraction are not mutually inclusive. You can have either without the other.

These excuses these people come up with are amazing. They're so incredibly dumb, yet they themselves probably find it to be absolutely brilliant.

If you except that ridiculous excuse now, you're just allowing yourself to continue to get hurt in the future. Find someone who will respect you, and leave that asshole.

Sadly, I know a few examples of guys making excuses like this...
