Why is it not illegal to cheat on someone

I don’t want to give too many details. I found it pretty traumatising to be lied to. The person went on about how great of a person they were and how they weren’t like other guys. They acted like they cared about me and would be supportive of me. They were exactly like the “other guys” they described, they were a cheat with a number of others waiting in line, got with someone new every 5-6 months and I was nothing special like they’d made me out to be. I found it really traumatising and have trust issues because of it. They really rushed things and then moved on and I never saw them again. They turned on me and started being really nasty towards me. It feels like emotional whiplash. I know it wasn’t my fault but I don’t understand why these men do it

Perhaps you might like how the Taliban approach things OP. Morality police and the like. Personally I'm glad we have a degree of free will.

Imagine the police having to investigate this

I'm sorry to hear that. IMO cheating is abusive. I suggest you do the Freedom Programme and read up on red flags. It sounds like he love bombed you and had a history of cheating.

Understand your upset, but no it's a crazy suggestion the law doesn't need to get involved in matters like this.

I’m asking because it can cause a lot of damage to the women that it happens to.it’s like emotional assault
