There have been lots of arguments over who cheats more in marriage. While some believe that men are more unfaithful, some say it is women. However, almost everyone believes infidelity exists in many marriages.
Qatar-based Ghanaian, Stanley Appiah, has revealed that he lost trust and interest in his two-day-old marriage after he read a WhatsApp message that popped up on his wife’s (now divorced) phone.
In a chat on SVTV Africa, Stanley revealed that her wife’s message indicated that she was still in an amorous relationship with another man.
Stanley mentioned that he had to travel out of the country for a year after their marriage ceremony. The message broke his heart.
“I had only two weeks to leave the country for almost a year. It was very heartbreaking for me because we were already married. I asked her about it but her response didn’t make sense. She threw her ring at me out of anger.
“She asked for money for her upkeep and I gave it to her. Unknowingly, she had promised to buy an iPhone for the guy. From the text I read, it was the same day she asked for money.”
According to Stanley, he lost interest in the marriage after that incident. However, he refused to terminate the marriage.
“At a point, I was not responding to her. Later she moved out of the apartment I rented for her and brought back my schnapps. She had her motive even before our marriage,” Stanley mentioned.
Stanley disclosed that the heartbreak led him into depression and resorted to hard drugs and became an addict. Eventually, he got an offer to work in Qatar and used the opportunity to begin a new life.
-Who Is More Unfaithful in Marriage — Man or Woman?
Personally, it is difficult to generalise it. Nowadays, any gender can cheat in a relationship. It has to do with many factors, but particularly one’s upbringing dictates how one perceives this. No matter how cool, educated, gentle one is, he or she will always cheat if they are not from a responsible home. A responsible man will not cheat on his wife.
Also, a woman who is not brought up in a good home, or who is having challenges in marriage will do such. For some people, you can’t blame their unfaithfulness. It may be due to some challenges.
But no matter how, one should not cheat.
