I met my ex on a dating app in 2020. I was ready to settle down, and he seemed to be too, so things got serious quickly. We bought a dog and picked out an engagement ring.
Then, it all fell apart when I learned he had three other girlfriends, all of whom thought they were exclusive with him.
I have a doctoral degree in public health, specializing in social and behavioral sciences. I'm a smart person, so I blamed myself for missing the signs — though even in retrospect, I couldn't see any.
Almost immediately, I realized there were only a few other people who could understand what I was going through: My ex's other girlfriends.
First, I told the three other women my ex had been seeing at the same time as me. All were very shocked, and none of them knew that he had been cheating on them. When I found out he'd cheated on previous partners, I messaged them, too. All in all, I got in touch with about 130 women.
All of the girlfriends were kind, compassionate, and smart. Most were Asian, like me, and professionals: lawyers, engineers, and artists.

Exactly. And you got exactly the asking price that you presented.
I would hope most people don’t need a life coach to know revenge is not an admirable trait.
Handsome is nice but is by no means essential.
Yep. Too much to ask of so many of today’s slutty women.
That cannot be repeated enough times.
It would be easy to be rude about this woman, but the experience shows the results of a society with too many weak men that influence weak-thinking in others.
Disillusionment and lousy marriages.
“When you keep your selection of mates small, he gets to play the field.”
The dating apps have revealed the data. Women are swiping on less than 10% of the men, so they’re all after the same guys.
It takes time to be a professional at anything. A doctor takes 8 years. A lawyer takes like 7 years. Etc.
Once a woman has become a professional, she’s older and having to compete with younger chicks who don’t desire a professional degree but want to find a husband.
Consequently, to up her game, she has to give more and accept less. He probably, in many cases, did little more be well dressed and be willing to watch tv for the evening. She had to accept his terms in order to get anything from him at all.
He didn’t need it for his head above the shoulders, so he had some to spare.
As I recall, the Koran says 4 wives is OK...5 is a sin.
“I know I am just one of 130, but am I in top ten?”
“Top 100 for sure, baby.”
You need to spend some time in family court.
Yeah he dodged a bullet big time. She’s obsessed.
sounds pitiful
Sorry, I’m not following
They were lied to.
Basically, the women have built a fantasy life that they think they could have had with Chad. However, because Chad rejected them, they have to settle for Beta. The woman can’t let go of their fantasy and they are always critical of their now husband.
The beta is a nice guy, but he can’t experience truly being loved through his life. He was mostly celibate before he married and he is often celibate within the marriage, because she can’t bond with him.
