  • If your significant other was cheating on you, would you want to know? Would you want to know all the details of the affair? People often say what you don’t know, won’t hurt you but I think that only applies to some situations. Let’s say your gf/bf was cheating on you, you should want to know about the affair. It’s in your best interest to find out whether he/she was cheating or not so that you could make an informed decision whether to leave to the person or to stay and give the “train wreck” another try. Probing for further details is however a different story. “Juicy” details of the affair are destructive and they serve no positive/constructive purposes. It’s the same reason why we shouldn’t share explicit details of our past relationships to our current bf/gf. So, I guess in certain situations where the truth is too painful, ignorance is indeed bliss. If you don’t think you’re gonna like the answer, don’t ask the question…trust me, I know.
