Cheater Blasted Over Reaction to Lover's Wife: 'Couldn't Shake Her Hand'

A woman has been slammed online after she became outraged when the man she cheated with introduced her to his wife.

In a viral post shared on the U.K.-based discussion website Mumsnet, which can be seen here, user Sonygirl23 explained she had cheated on her partner with a customer who visited her workplace.

Briony Leo, a psychologist and head coach at relation coaching company Relish, told the wedding website Brides that around 20 percent of men are unfaithful compared to 13 percent of women.

In the post, the Mumsnet user added: "It was not an affair, just a one-night stand with one customer from my workplace. The sex was dead, there was no foreplay, no chemistry and frankly, I felt more like a porn star than a person.

"Since then, I have deleted his number and we have not communicated in any shape or form. Today he comes into the store with his wife and introduces me to her. I was so stunned I was actually shaking but he seemed so calm about it.

The woman continued: "AIBU [am I being unreasonable] to think this is f**ked up of him to do?"

She later admitted: "She (the wife) was fine, all normal and even smiling at me in a friendly way! I couldn't shake her hand though, was sweating too much"

Since being shared Tuesday, the post has attracted some 146 responses from other Mumsnet users.

Many of those slammed the woman over her cheating and said she had some nerve being outraged when she had been unfaithful to her partner.

One Mumsnet user said: "Yes, you are being unreasonable to act like that and then question someone else's etiquette. Just do the right thing, own up to your partner about what you've done, accept this is who you are and move on."

Another added: "He sounds like he wanted to relive the experience and or make you nervous. Sounds like you learned from this. Don't beat yourself up because there is just no point. Shaming yourself will not mean it didn't happen."

While a third simply posted: "No different to what you're doing to your partner. FFS [for f**k's sake] tell him."

A fourth person commented: "What a freak. Sounds like you're not bothered about him which is good. Learn from it and move on."

Newsweek wasn't able to verify the details of this case.
