Urgent Decision by megakom: 1:48am On Aug 15, 2017
I'm going to try to summarise this as much as I can,because I'm in a dilemma and I don't know what to do or who to turn to for the best advice. I met this guy about four years ago and we started dating while I was still in school, the guy is a good guy and a husband material, we love each other so much, in fact there are somethings that the guy did and I concluded that he really loves me, we started having sex 2years into the relationship... Finally, he proposed last year and I was so happy and I said yes(its not like I wasn't expecting him to propose), so when I told my family about him, a good number of them refused because the young man is from a different tribe from mine and I guess because I am the last child.. Mind you the guy is ready for marriage but my family has been causing the delay so we have been meeting with pastors and neutral bodies to help us intervene in the issue.... Fast forward to this week I discovered that my guy has been cheating on me for less than a month now and when I confronted him about it he didn't deny, in fact he's feeling bad because it's actually the first time such thing is happening to him (I'm sure of that) and he feels so dirty,guilty and has lost his pride, he's even finding it difficult to face me and told me he will accept whatever punishment I choose to give him but guys I'm so confused cause I don't know what to do, should I break the engagement? Because it's really going to be difficult for me, should I forgive him? And if I forgive him what's the assurance that he won't do it again even in marriage?? Please you guys should advice me

All men cheat.

They will come and deny it. But it's the sad truth. It's only those that are caught that are labelled 'bad'.

If you had never caught him you would have been swearing that he is the sweetest most romantic guy ever.

You can forgive him, knowing that one day, 10 or 20 or 30yrs from now he will cheat again.

Or you can walk away from this relationship believeing that the next guy can never cheat on you. Lol.

Experience is always the best teacher. As you grow older you'll get wiser.

Personally I think if you want to break up with him the reason should be because your family is not in support. Entering a marriage in which your family is not in support is tough. It may look romantic now, you and him against the world, blah blah, but when the love scales falls from your eyes and you get to see the nitty gritty of each other.... Hmm. It can be tough.


Whatever choice you make will be the right one. Cheers.

Funny enough I spoke with the lady he cheated on me with and she confessed that there was no strings attached and she even advised me to forgive him because he's a good guy and loves me so much, that he always talk about me and bla bla bla.... We are almost at the verge of my people agreeing I don't know how this just raised its ugly head
Re: Urgent Decision by Prognose: 2:19am On Aug 15, 2017
If you can forgive him, forgive him. If you can't then let him go.

Think of all the good times you've had and see if this bad thing he has done cancels all that out. If it does then walk away. If not, well, then u have a big heart.

All men cheat. At least once in their lives. Good men, bad men, Nigerian men, American men, priests, bankers, pastors, lawyers. Some cheat more than others. Some throw it blatantly in your face, others are experts in hiding it. I have learned not to judge.

They'll probably chew my head off when they wake up, but that's the fact.

Anyway. Sleep on the matter. Make your decision by yourself and with a clear head before coming back to your thread later this morning.

Good night.

U sound like you already know what to do but just want justification to do it. Oya, forgive him, move on. Don't always be quick to run out of serious relationship, u don't know what the next guy will be made up of.
Re: Urgent Decision by Nobody: 3:31am On Aug 15, 2017
Ask yourself if you are ready to get married to a cheat.

once a cheat always a cheat

treatment of std's are very expensive.

Even the emotional trauma Is something else.

A man that can actively pursue a sexual relationship with another woman is not worth your time or space.

Is it that ur parents didn't know u were dating this guy and told u from start that u can't marry him? These families carry out investigation into families they want to b joined into by marriage, so some might refuse consent because of negative findings. As for d cheating, forgive him.

I told them about him at a point in the relationship but they thought I was not serious or they thought the relationship was not serious, it's been over 2years I told them,i never knew they were so realistic especially my mum...
My dad is very open to the issue but and I have the support of just one of my siblings, the others are indifferent while the eldest is trying to be in control

It is purely tribalistic, they didn't carry out any investigation

I'll surely get their blessings, I'm trying to get my father to my side, because I know once my dad agrees the others will tag along but I'm just worried about him, though I know he totally regrets it but I don't want such thing to repeat itself again

I don't see anything stopping him from cheating perhaps when u are heavily pregnant. Its best not to dwell on it. You are lucky he's sorely sorry for d act.
