They All Cheated And Don't Regret It One Bit! 😬 🥵️ | KARAMO

This is very, this is something we don't see a lot. Women saying, I came on the show and I cheat, is what it is. So Shawntia, why did you cheat from your words?

So I cheated because I was playing tit for tat. Well, we were playing tit for tat and he started a game. I'm not gonna be nobody's doormat. I'm not gonna let nobody run over top of me and I'm gonna, you know, I'm gonna give back what you put out.

Okay, and Ariel, why did you cheat?

I wasn't feeling sexy. I wasn't feeling desired. I wasn't feeling wanted. And I wanted to feel that way again. I wanted to feel like that girl that I know that I am. I wanted to feel desired. And that's why I went out and did it.

I understand. And Rachel, why did you cheat?

I feel like I cannot lust and love my husband at the same time.

Oh, interesting.

It's very hard.

So I wanna know each of you, and I'm gonna ask you directly, do you regret cheating?

No, absolutely not.

Do you regret cheating?

No, it was a lesson I needed to learn.

Do you regret cheating?

I don't.

Got it. So Shawntia, how did it make you feel when you were cheated on?

So I had to take a step back and kind of evaluate what I was doing wrong. I mean, maybe I wasn't bringing something to the table and it kind of bothered my self-esteem.

So by cheating, you realize I'm not doing anything wrong, this is about you. So I'm gonna show you it's not about me.

Clearly a narcissist.

Oh, so you say he was clearly a narcissist.

Oh, absolutely.

Okay. And Ariel.

[Speaker] Yes.

[Speaker] Okay, you said that he used to make you feel bad.

[Speaker] Yes.

[Speaker] So why didn't you break it off?

[Speaker] There was a mix of things. I mean, with every relationship it's complicated and complex, but I mean, we started off as best friends first. We were in college together. I knew I had betrayed my best friend and the man that I was in love with. Despite stepping out on him, I still loved him. I should have said too, we were living in London, and so being a broke college student in a foreign country, I kind of depended on him for, place to live.

So you really stayed because of the finances?

Yeah. Mm. We were together for like 2 years after that.

Did you continue to cheat?

No, I don't continue to cheat. So what had happened, I told you he forgave me. A year later after he found out that I had cheated, he flew me to Venice and proposed. And yes, we got engaged. I was really excited, really happy. I was like, this man that I love, like he's forgiven me. We're gonna have our happily ever after. Few months into the engagement, he gave me a phone call and broke it off 'cause he couldn't actually forgive me. He never actually got over it and he didn't tell me that. And it broke my heart. It took a long time to get over.

Get over it. So Rachel, how long have you been married for?

We've been married 6 years.

Currently married right now, 6 years. And what was missing from your marriage?

It's hard for me to separate myself as mom and wife. Yeah. And then just be me, be Rachel.

So do you have an open dialogue with your husband?

We do. He's an amazing dad, an amazing partner. He's an amazing friend, but I see him as that. I don't see him—

In a sexual way?

Depends on the situation. So I don't see him as, what I need.

So you tell him like, I need to go out there and get it.

No, when it comes about and I meet somebody that I have a connection with, if it turns sexual, that's where we have started to discuss where the boundary is.

Well, one of the things that I've heard from a lot of women on this show who have been cheated on, which is interesting to have you three women here being so honest and vulnerable, is that most women say what hurts me the most is not just the sex, it's when there's emotional attachment. And you are in emotional entanglement, so you're actually giving yourself emotionally.
