Things Not to Say to a Girl Who's Been Cheated On

1. "Everything happens for a reason." Yes, blame this on fate. Except no � cheaters just suck. 2. "It happens to all of us." No, it doesn't happen to all of us. It happened to me and I'm the one dealing with the aftermath. 3. "You're too good for him." Sure, you're with Jennifer Aniston on this one, and yes, you now know you're too good for him, but you didn't know that when we were five months in and talking about meeting each other parents while he was simultaneously fucking eveything that moved. Cut a girl some slack. 4. "I knew that guy was shady from the start." OK, so he wasn't totally transparent all of the time and his mystery got the best of you, but no one really needs this rubbed in their face when you had the same gut instinct all along. 5. "I never liked him for you." Well if you thought he wasn't good for me (aka he might cheat), then why didn't you tell me what sooner? 6. "You know what you need to do? You need to stop thinking about him and take some time to focus on you � get a hobby, maybe." No, I'm already busy enough with the life I lead � the last thing I need is a hobby. However, I could take this advice and get a massage. 7. "You should really get tested." This statement, while it's true, could be compared to pouring salt into your cheating wound. 8. "Just do you." You're always just doing do because you're always doing things for yourself. Therefore, this suggestion is not helpful in the least. 9. "You need to stop going for the same kind of guy and be more open with your options." So going for the ponytail-wearing type hasn't boded well for you in the past, because women constantly throw themselves at him, but you can't help that you like a man with amazing hair and a strong jaw. Fine, maybe go for a man with a strong jaw and a buzz cut next time. 10. "You're too picky." No I'm not, I just know exactly what I want and I'm not about to lower my standards.
