I cheated on you because I wanted to do it, not because you made me do it, but because I want you to feel responsible so that I can blame and shame you. I want you to feel guilty because I can’t, so you have to. I need to evade accountability, so I will make it about your inadequacy when, in reality, you have done nothing wrong. You have done everything in your capacity to make me happy.
