Why do some cheaters feel no guilt while others do? What’s your take?
When my ex cheated, they didn’t seem to care much, and that really messed me up. If you’ve been through this did your ex show guilt? How do you deal when they don’t? Do you think guilt is just something they fake to feel beter or can some actually mean it? Would love to hear your thoughts and stories.

How people deal with guilt is so different—some feel it deep while others barely care. It really sucks when someone you cared about doesn’t even seem sorry for what they did. But that lack of guilt usually comes from their own issues like not being in touch with their emotions or putting their needs above how they hurt others.
When they justify their actions it just adds to the hurt. But remember this their choices show their issues not your value. Read that again.
Stick with people who truly see and value you because you deserve love that’s real and honest where both of you are all in. With time you’ll find those connections that heal your heart and light you up. Stay strong—better days are coming.
Hope this gives you a little peace. Sending you love and healing vibes always ❤️
So yeah I’ve been on both sides. I cheated like 2 years ago when I was 25 and I got cheated Back then I didn’t feel bad about what I did but my soon-to-be ex-wife (stbxw) was “remorseful” when it happened to me.
When I cheated it wasn’t just emotional—I connected with someone else then went back to the same person and physically cheated on the other girl. At the time I didn’t feel bad because I already had someone lined up. Later on after I matured I reached out to apologize and she accepted. She’s doing fine now.
As for my stbxw her affair was emotional. When I confronted her and she realized it could destroy our relationship she panicked and begged me to stay. The guy she was talking to wasn’t nearby and we had a son together so there was no real chance of it going further. She didn’t have a backup plan.
From my experience remorse depends on whether the person has a fallback option. If they do they won’t care much at first but heartbreak will hit them later like weeks or months down the line. If they don’t have anyone else they feel the heartbreak right away.
It sucks so bad and yeah it hurts a lot. But if you wanna heal you can’t just avoid it. Just be kind to yourself and remember at least you know what love feels like—you’re not some cold heartless narcissist.
