Correcting any misapprehensions, because it has come to my attention that some incorrect info is going around.

Josh did not cheat on me.

He made relationship choices that hurt me. He *betrayed* me, broke my trust, lied to me, rules-lawyered and attempted to radically renegotiate our relationship agreements on the fly. He hurt me very badly.

But I have been very careful to use the word "betrayed" rather than "cheated," because they have two different meanings.

I have corrected people when they have said he cheated. I have explained that there were specific circumstances that caused the term "betrayed" to be the appropriate one.

But I will not allow a dishonest, unfair interpretation of my words or his actions to stand -- so, no, for the record, Josh did not cheat on me.
