@Rasterman oh boy, I tried to look for this to see the real post, but couldn't find it.
What I found, however, is that there is an entire subreddit just for this shit. They even have their own glossary of acronyms for the stuff involved in cheating. And one thing in common in posts of this this subreddit (and others like that) is that they all avoid accountability, try to justify their actions, try to blame the cheated partner for the cheating, and are more worried on how they can feel better with themselves after ruining everything than anything else.
It's also funny to see the change in tone in redditor answers. The first 3 posts are very old, from 5 and 6 years ago, and the responses are no-holds barrel telling OP that she's a disgusting waste of space, that she messed up big time, and that the best she can do is just leave the guy be happy and just wallow in her own sadness. If it wasn't Reddit, I bet there would be people telling OP to kill herself.
The last two are more recent, from 1 year and 2 ago, and those, among others I saw but weren't as interesting, all have the same kind of response: despite saying that they are in the wrong, they still "send virtual hugs" or "feel sory for OP" and try to coddle and console OP in any way they can. Even the most critical ones have some kind of headpat involved, and I even saw a couple posts with something like "editing with positive feedback so my post won't be removed".
