My boyfriend believes that cheating is a bad habit for men, not a character flaw. The way he talks about cheating, it makes me want to cry, not going to lie. He said that it is only in this generation that women see it as cheating, and it’s because women are now competing with men. He says a man’s faithfulness is not determined by whether he cheats or not but by his ability to provide and protect. But how are you protecting when you’re cheating? Is protection only physical, like when you’re under attack or something? What are the odds that I’ll even be under attack in my lifetime?
He says a man doesn’t have it easy, and he goes out to provide for his family. I agree, especially in this Tinubu regime. But is cheating a reward for men’s hard work? Is that the reward men want? To cheat as long as they provide money to pay the bills? I need the men to answer me. I’ve heard some guys say that if a man goes out to sleep with another woman, it’s not cheating, that it’s only cheating if he leaves his wife for another woman. The fact that the person I call my man thinks this way is heartbreaking. I literally have chest pain thinking about it, and I know I can’t cope because I might develop hypertension.
