Fair to say the public is on her side.

It's a sad fact of life that some people feel the need to cheat on their partners but for every untrustworthy man or woman, there's a person that's scorned and looking for some payback. With an influx of 'micro-cheating' trends like 'roaching' and 'marleying', it's clear that some people think that monogamy is too cruel a rule (bonus points for any Friends fans that got that reference). Anyway, aside from the various excuses provided, there's still the perverse pleasure in seeing the guilty party squirm. On that note, Channel 5 has decided to conduct a little sociological experiment in their latest show, One Night with My Ex. In their most recent episode, a couple was discussing the breakdown of their relationship. It turns out that the man, Joseph, was cheating on his girlfriend. After being caught and dumped, the fella said that he's "well pissed" for being dumped and that his ex, a girl called Rosie, "blew it slightly out of proportion." After discovering the truth, Rosie packed up all of his stuff and ended the relationship immediately. Rather than apologise, Joseph decided to go on the offensive by accusing Rosie of "pissing" their relationship down the drain. The whole segment is pretty revealing because he thinks that cheating shouldn't be a deal-breaker. Since being aired, the clip has continued to go viral and it currently has 1.5 million views while encouraging plenty of online chat.

Do men and women really think differently about the emotional impact cheating will have on their partner? ? #OneNightWithMyEx pic.twitter.com/W6L3pvTWHj

Cor he's vile! Cheating is cheating. Glad she told him to get out.

People that cheat need to look and listen to this young lady ! This is what your actions do to other human beings. Think about what you're doing, if you're not happy leave .. don't hurt others !

Just want to thank everyone for their support regarding #onenightwithmyex I think the show highlighted the different views men and women take when it comes to dating.
