My First Time Catching a Cheat (Yes, Really) (1 Viewer)

[Gunnar]

I must praise you for the way you handling this. I agree that should prepare yourself for the question how do I make it right or how do I win your trust back. I understand you feel gutted and take your time to feel your emotions. Broken trust and betrayal of a friend is a though thing to go through.

I'm not sure there is a way to make this right. There probably isn't.

But this guy has done a lot for me personally. He's the one who helped me get sober. He's talked me off the ledge with issues with my kid. It's a terrible situation, and from a poker standpoint it's solved. I just want a path forward. I'm sure the relationship can continue, but it will be difficult. I'm not trying to over share, but it's very personal to me.

I appreciate the opportunity to share here. The support means a lot to me.

I know how hard this is for you. Almost like a spouse committing infidelity. I do not envy your situation, but I do hope the best for all involved. It can be hard to separate the person from the poker player but that my be the only path forward. It will take a lot of time as that trust has been violated and no amount of time or money will ever fix that. I am glad to hear that he took ownership and didn't try to blame or deflect.

I'm always around if you need to vent or seek outside perspectives.

Absolutely dreading playing tonight at the Elks Tournament of Champions. I know everyone is going to be talking about it, or wanting to. I'm in the mindset to tell everyone to Fuck Right Off. I'll probably just punt and go home.

I hate that the joy that has been sucked out of this.

Just be polite but firm. That's the best option at this point. It will eventually pass.

I meant to ask, how did the other players handle the news?

I haven't told the majority of my group. There were a few from the elks who were pissed

Just know that you are not the villian.
You did the right thing and in a decent way.

Pretty much this. If anyone else is upset they can pound sand. It's your game Craig.
