I didn't justify it. I acknowledged i have morals and ethics. Nuance means a lot in every situation, actually. That's literally how growth works. Thinking about every nuance so you don't do it again.

I mean, I think it was more nuanced than that. I was always against cheating. I just feel I was manipulated and in turn, like if it was gender swapped people would say that, and I made a horrible decision because I was being weak-willed and naive that I am never going to do again. I can see the red flags in retrospect. Both in myself and my ex. And I plan to grow from that. That doesn't mean we as people don't think about ethics and morals when we mess up, though. That's the whole thing with guilt and growth. I don't think you're ever too young for those lessons.

Thank you. It's definitely something I'm taking and learning from. Still hate I hurt a good person because of my own poor judgement.
