If so how did you guys handle it and did you stay together?
"The Coffee Shop Girl You Never Spoke To"
You've replayed it a hundred times. She stood three feet away, scrolling her phone. You had an opening. You composed the perfect line — after she was gone.
For all you know, she's married now. To some guy who said something. Anything.
Openers are cheap. Almost any sentence works when it's delivered within three seconds. The expensive part is the standing there, drafting and deleting, while the window quietly closes.
The "22 Rules" stripped out my hesitation. What to open with, how to keep it alive, and the one habit that costs guys more women than anything else: waiting for perfect.
Ever been cheated on in a LTR?

"You Can't Argue a Woman Into Liking You"
You made your case like a lawyer. Stable job. Good guy. Ready for something real. All true. All irrelevant.
She weighed your points, nodded along, felt nothing — then fell hard for some tattooed bartender with a motorcycle and a gambling problem.
Logic is where attraction goes to die. The "22 Rules" work a level deeper, on the subconscious switches that decide within minutes whether you register as a MAN or as part of the furniture.
Stop presenting evidence. Start flipping switches.

Never tollerate it. No matter what the excuse.
Move on to better things.
There's no worse blight on a man than the one who stays with a chick that's cheated on him.

Dont stay together. Let her feel like ****, use her and cheat with her best friend.
And the worst thing in the world you can do is stay with her if it happens. Although it may seem like you have the upper hand, she actually has you by the balls because she knows if she can get away with cheating then she can get away with anything.
"I just moved here from Florida."
That sentence contains at least five follow-up questions she WANTS you to ask. Where in Florida? What brought you here? How long have you been in the area? What do you miss? How does it compare to here?
She handed them to you on a silver platter. And you said, "Oh cool. I come here every week. I love this band. Ummm... pretty crowded tonight."
She smiled politely. Nodded. And never texted you back.
I was that guy for years. Talking too much. Listening too little. Panicking about my next sentence while she was literally feeding me the answers.
Then I found 22 rules that fixed the whole thing. Rule number one: shut up and listen. She'll tell you exactly what to say.

None of you belive in a 2nd chance?
Here is a bit more of the story.
A while back, 4-5 months or so when we broke up for a few weeks I got a bj from her best friend. We finaly told her, which was the hardest thing I have ever done. And I can't imagne her telling me about her cheating was much easyer. She was able to get over what I did, even though we were not going out, it's still kinda wrong. That girl was also my brothers ex.
