It is indeed heart-wrenching to break up with someone you deeply felt for. Even though we eventually do, it is hard to move on in most cases. If you've offered a lot of love to your former partner but they ended up cheating on you, well, they are evidently...for a lack of a worse term, stupid. What makes them even more stupid is their excuse for cheating. Moving on from exes with such hilariously dumb excuses to cheat on you seems like nothing but a blessing in disguise. Reddit user u/Starboy3210 asks "People of Reddit, what is the dumbest reason your (ex) partner gave for cheating?" Here are some of the most ridiculously dumb excuses exes gave for cheating on their partner. 

1. Yes. Stay alone...forever.

"'You didn't answer your phone, was I supposed to spend Saturday night alone??' I was at work, and so were you, we worked together you f*cking moron." -u/sixesand7s

2. No relapse.

"'You are dying! Do you really want me alone when you are dead?' I was fighting cancer, He also told me that I was disgusting and he felt gross touching me. Luckily, both types of cancer are out of my life." -u/Mr_BigDuck

3. "Object permanence isn't her strong suit huh?"

"My ex-girlfriend said i forgot you were alive. For details I wasn't in the military, I was in university." -u/Ali8ly

7. Why you gotta blame Santa?

"My serial cheater ex once told me while in a fit of tears. 'I can't stop cheating, I just have so many issues, my mom lied about Santa when I was a kid and it really f*cked me up. I don't think I can trust people because of it so I cheat." -u/pastelflorist

8. Cheating on a sandwich = cheating on human? 

"It's like if you order the same subway sandwich for a year, eventually you're gonna get bored of it. But you try another flavour and when you go back to the original one it’s better than you remembered" Felt not so good being compared to a 6 inch BLT tbh." -u/NucularOrchid

9. Read all terms and conditions carefully

"'You never specifically said I wasn't allowed to sleep with [girl he had slept with before we were together]. I thought you meant I wasn't allowed to sleep with NEW people. ' This was well after a conversation we had had agreeing that we were monogamous and exclusive."-u/hveistuve

10. Reconsidering the idea of a romantic partner in...3...2...1.

"You can't have children anymore so I just slept with your friend to get pregnant. I was hoping that once you found out you'd stay with me and raise the kid - you're such a good dad." -u/Toxikfoxx
