Number four, when caught red-handed, they will make excuses that are almost unbelievable—which, by the way, we might still believe. You might have clear-as-day proof that someone is cheating on you. You might literally find the messages on their phone, and they will say something like, “What are you doing on my phone? And come to think of it, that’s my private life and has nothing to do with you.” You’re thinking, “But we’re in a relationship.” Before you know it, you are on a different planet than the one you thought you were on, having to defend yourself for not being a good partner to this person who, three minutes ago, you found out was cheating on you. Have you ever heard of Occam’s Razor? Occam’s Razor is essentially the idea that the simplest explanation is the most likely one. I found evidence of you cheating; that’s the most likely thing that has happened: you have cheated. What they are telling you is the complete opposite of Occam’s Razor. It is the most complex, ridiculous, insane version of events that somehow leads to them being innocent or being the victim, and you being the perpetrator—though you just found that part out. It’s almost like the excuses version of Murphy’s Law. Murphy’s Law is kind of “anything that can go wrong will go wrong,” or “anything that can happen will happen.” In this case, it’s “any excuse that can be made will be made,” and even the ones that you think couldn’t be made will be made.
