An Ode to Cake Eaters
Let'em eat cake!I’ve never liked playing the victim, and the whole victim mentality honestly turns me off. Whenever I see posts from people justifying cheating by casting themselves as helpless or neglected, it makes me cringe.
For me, it’s never been that. It’s always been a me problem.
I don’t cheat because something is missing at home. My wife is enough. More than enough, actually. But there’s this restless part of me that always wants more. More connection, more intensity, more excitement.
I crave that emotional spark. The late-night conversations, the feeling of really getting to know someone, the rush of something new and unpredictable. I want to feel alive in that way. To be drawn to someone, to get a little obsessed, There’s something addictive about living on that edge.
And if I’m being honest… I can’t wait to find that again. To meet someone new I can completely lose myself in, even if it’s only for a while. A new flame, a new story, something intense and fleeting that pulls me in all over again.
I’m not proud of it, but I’m also not going to pretend it’s anything other than what it is.
