Is cheating grounds for a break up?
Hello!
Welcome to another exciting article on A Moment With Jennie. We are back to the cheating topic and This time with more sauce. With the words and thoughts I’ll be sharing in this article, I hope someone reading it will be helped if they are stuck in a situation like this. Enjoy!
Okay. The topic is actually a valid question and a lot of people will have different answers for it. But at the end of the day, your happiness is all that matters. Your mental health is very important.
Before you answer that question though, you need to ask yourself another question:
Can you deal with the stress and hassle that comes with dating a cheating partner?
Can your heart handle the pain, knowing that your partner is a serial ‘cheater’?
Will you be able to sleep well at night knowing that your partner may be somewhere with someone that isn’t you, having sex or having fun while you are back home struggling to sleep and crying yourself to sleep?
Will you be comfortable being intimate with them knowing that there is a high chance of them transmitting some kinda STD to you from their various encounter with different sexual partners?
If you can be totally sincere with yourself and be confident with your answers to these questions, then you will know whether or not to break up with your partner because they cheated on you.
But let’s be sincere with ourselves, no body wants a cheating partner. But a lot of people would be with a cheating man/woman who can foot their bills than be with a decent faithful partner who can’t take care of their immediate financial needs.
It’s really shameful that the world we live in today is a world where women will comfortably stay with a man who abuses them physically, mentally and emotionally, cheats on them, disrespects them because he has the money to sponsor their ‘baby girl lifestyle’. There is no peace in the relationship, there is no love in the relationship, there is no happiness in the relationship. It is sad but that is the life a lot of women have chosen for themselves.
Because let’s be truthful, this topic is mainly for the women. No man will stay with a woman that cheats on him. Men love their ego more than anything else in this world. Once their wife or girlfriend cheats on them, they are sending her packing immediately. Women are the ones shamelessly putting up with men that cheat on them. And the worse part is, you will hear excuses like ‘his womanizing ways is his only fault’. I said this before, cheating is not a fault! It is pure wickedness! You are busy making excuses for him while he is busy giving you different STDs on a regular basis. Who are you deceiving if not yourself?
This goes back to the topic of self love and self worth. If you love yourself enough, if you appreciate and respect yourself enough, if you know your worth and value as a woman, there is no way you will want to put up with a man that cheats on you and disrespects you.
Is cheating grounds for break up?
YES PLEASE.
Think of your sanity and your peace of mind. There is no way you will be happy with a partner that cheats. You can’t trust them. You will always wonder what they are doing, who they are with, you will keep having sleepless nights. Not to mention the various medication you will take as a result of his cheating ass. Be wise!
There are very rare ocassions where it can be understood if a woman refuses to leave a relationship or marriage because he cheated on her. And that’s if there are children involved. Mothers would not want to have their children have the stigma of coming from a broken home. So they sacrifice their own happiness for their children’s happiness. No mother would want to put their children through the emotional and mental trauma of having both parents divorced and living separately. It’s best for children to have both parents living together under the same roof, especially when they are still young and growing. I can understand if this is the case. But if you are not married to him and he cheats, baby girl kindly take a walk and live your life to the fullest. You will definitely find a man that will love and respect you enough to stay faithful to you.
Don’t let anybody deceive you with words like ‘you have to endure. If you leave him, another girl will come in immediately and it will be your loss’. Big fat lie! It’s never a loss for you to leave a man that shamelessly cheats on you. It’s his loss of losing an amazing woman like you because he can’t keep his pants zipped.
Always put yourself first in every situation. Your peace of mind, your sanity, your happiness, your mental well being should always come first. If you stay with him, knowing who he is and what he does when you are not with him, you can’t be happy. Neither will you be at peace in your relationship. And whatever work you have had done on yourself will come crumbling down because someone you care for and love so much is working really hard to destroy your happiness and your peace of mind. You don’t treat him with such disrespect, why let him disrespect you like that? You are better than all of that. He does not deserve you, neither does he deserve your love.
In summary; Yes, cheating is grounds for a break up. You deserve better than what a cheating partner has to offer you. You are beautiful, you are smart, you are hardworking and successful, you are worthy of love and affection and respect from any man you go into a relationship with. Most of all, you are loved at home by your family and your friends cherish you and respects the woman that you are. Never you stay shackled to a man who does not love you as much as your family does. Stay away from any man that does not respect or cherish you like your peers do. When looking for a partner, make sure it’s a man that can add value to you and your life in every way. He has to add to the love you feel for yourself, he has to add to the happiness you already have, he has to add your value and your self worth. He has no right to subtract from your joy and happiness or mental wellness. If he can’t be faithful to you, take a walk because he does not deserve you to begin with. Any man that won’t consider your happiness in a relationship is a man that is yet to love himself or work on his self worth. If he takes out time to love himself and be happy with himself first, then he would appreciate the joy and the bliss of being with one woman and remain faithful to her.
Believe me sis, you will find a man that will see you, see your value as a woman and respect you. You will find that man for you. Set your standards, set your value, set your goal and stick to what you want for yourself. You will be a whole lot happier with yourself if you refuse to remain in a relationship that threatens your happiness.
Men are not foolish and that’s why they won’t ever stay with a woman that cheats on them. They know how wrong their actions are, they know the kind of hurt they cause their partners, they know the damage they bring to their relationships with their actions, so it is left for you to stand your ground and refuse anything less than that they will be willing to accept from a partner. Which is why They will never accept an open relationship or marriage(another topic for another article).
I really hope my words in this article will give you the courage you need to stop being an emotional punching bag, to stop enabling a cheating partner, to stop making excuses for a cheating partner and also give you the courage to make up your mind to want better for yourself and walk away from that man that has no respect for you or your sanity!
That will be all for now on this topic. Thank you for spending A Moment With Jennie, let us spend more intimate time together in the next article. Thanks for reading!
