It's okay if you think I'm arguing in support of cheating and breaking vows.

What other marriage vows do you know?
Please share the words with us as it is said.

The point is, the man took a vow and should abide by it...same way a single woman needs to be responsible to herself and not have a relationship with a married man.
Morality is not gender-specific.
I haven't in any way suggested you are supporting cheating, the word "unless" should tell you that, it is your place to indicate if you are or not.

Seriously? What other marriage vows do I know? How does my knowledge of marriage vows come into play? Does it mean you don't agree that not all marriage vows are biblical? Dude some people write their own vows and so far in all the wedding ceremonies I've witnessed, none includes allowing a partner cheat.

The point remains that, you can't tell a single lady how to be responsible for herself, what you consider irresponsible, might be responsible to her, cheating can ruin a man in a law court but I am yet to see/hear that any single lady was taken to court for sleeping with a married man.

I believe I have not opined that morality is gender specific, I have only said it is subjective.

To answer your question, The man, the side chic and the society is to be blamed. The man because he is married and has to live with the decision he made to spend the rest of his life with his wife. The side chic because you should do unto others as you wish to be done to you. The society for tolerating both a cheating man and a side chic.

However, blame never solves any problem. The part I know most people are always interested in is how to solve this problem that is fast becoming a menace to society. All the parties blamed have to be addressed but in my opinion, the man has a much higher percentage of work to do. Self control is very important. It is much easier for a man to make a decision not to cheat than for us to change the minds of all the side chics or society. The man is the single most powerful and effective person that can break the circle. You fight a side chic and another one rears her ugly head tomorrow. How many can you fight? Do side chics deserve to be punished? Absolutely yes but the person who should get the biggest punishment is the man. It is absolutely stupid for the wife to fight the side chic and then come home to play the dutiful and loving wife to the husband.

Babygirl, you get sense.. smiley

Of course people cheat everywhere in the world.

See question o grin.

But by default (law) you can do something about it if you want to. At least that keeps some of them in check.

Imagine a state governor PUBLICLY keeping a mistress and beating his wife for questioning him.
You know the difference.
No fear of consequences.

which kind check? Chei coco... grin Upon all the checks and balance you'd think western men will be less shiesty. But surprise, surprise, Infidelity is still a leading cause of divorce in the west. If Infidelity is a leading cause of divorce, imagine the number of western wives that are still living with cheating husbands coz of the emotional stress of divorce....

Humans are the same everywhere. Yes there are laws here in the west compared to Africa but that's all on the surface. No difference between a modern african marriage and a western marriage; the bullshìt is just packaged differently.

The number of cheating men hasn't reduced because of those laws , btw. I can even argue that it has increased.
I've lived in the west for a while, I've never seen where a western wife divorced her husband coz he cheated once. The men usually get a pass; the women proceed to divorce if the man is unrepentant, or if he's rich, or if there are other issues apart from cheating.

Bottom line is, it's not all black and white. We (westerners and Africans) have more similarities than differences.

My post was in response to 5mins post that western influence is the reason why Nigerians cheat on their wives. Seriously angry

I'm surprised nobody saw anything wrong with that but when I said in the west men are more prone to respect their wives (which is true) the thread wants to come to a halt? grin

Let the earth open up and swallow the west so that some people will accept not everything bad comes from there.

Ok no problem. I agree. It's not the African men's fault. The west and the women are responsible for their behavior.

Yes a married man can be taken to court for cheating, the person he cheated with is the side chic in this case, which is why we are talking about her.

I don't have to tell him how to be responsible, his vows or just being married has done that for him. If we gave agreed that no marriage the world over, encourages cheating, why does it matter what language the vows was made in?

His morality is ofcourse supposed to align with what comes with being married, which is simply "no cheating"

Nobody is going after the men. They are going after the girls themselves. The way some married men deny their marital status, take off their rings and pursue young girls is alarming sometimes. If I didn't experience it, i'd have thought it was a lie.

As usual blame the west undecided

Western men respect their wives. You don't mess with your wife like a fool around here or you will have grave consequences if she wants to drag your ass to court.

Pls blame who's to blame.
From blaming the girls, you've turned to blame the west. African men are no longer polygamous?

Will it hurt you for once to apportion blame where it belongs? Ugh! Jeez!

Where was the term "side chic" coined from?
Who glamourised the term "Baby mama"? And made it such a thing of pride that our ladies started making headlines with it?
Are those African terms?

Sure we have always had mistresses and the philandering husband and secret wives but we didn't glamourise it. It was a thing of shame actually. Unfaithfulness occurs everywhere, even in your precious west. In fact it became so rampant in the West that laws had to be enacted to discourage such behaviour. Hence your "respectful" western men who are only respectful because they fear the law courts. It doesn't stop cheating though as evidenced by the TV series of "cheaters" I watch daily and the level of divorces still at an all time high in the US.

I know this might come as a rude shock to you but the US is a festering cesspool of unfaithful men and women. I know, I know, have a hankie cry



As per your example of men going after the girls sure that happens. But for you to deny that girls also go out of thier way to chase married men shows you being biased (as usual, nothing new here), or you must have gotten married really young and had innocent friends as well. There are frequent reports in my office of single girls throwing themselves kamikaze-like at married men whether or not they wear rings and it's really tasking and laborious trying to discourage them or push them away. These girls know the said target is married but are undeterred, in fact some have admitted it's a kind of turn-on for them as they view married men as more "responsible" and "matured".

All men have the tendency to be polygamous of they can get away with it, even your precious white men in the West. It's just the courts like you said that holds them back.

You are right however the fact that the side chic is not entirely blameless* means that they share in the blame however little. The man obviously has the biggest part of the blame and is the person that can most effectively put a stop the cheating. People sometimes needs a form of punishment to deter them from doing something. Sincerely, I don't know the best way to punish side chicks as we all know the wife beating and fighting the side chic is a waste of time I do know that they deserve to be purnished for causing another so much pain. More emphasis should be put on the man for this menace to stop.

Just like you said, a society frowning at something might discourage some people from doing it. The ex governor did it shamelessly because the society doesn't frown at it.

Thanks for agreeing with me @bold.
Humans are basically the same everywhere.
So where the laws are strong, people behave better. Or hide their misbehavior better. Hence my stand that they are more prone to respect their women.

I'd be quite naive to say people there don't cheat but you come on a public forum and say they are to blame for others cheating in other parts of the world? Really?

I don't have any shares in any western nation but I find it annoying that some of you manage to make soup that goes sour in your house the fault of the 'west'

Seriously accept your faults and move on.
@last bolded, you don't even know what you're saying. Are all men Polygamous or are the western men corrupting you innocent ones.
You even agree something holds them back.
Pls decide what you're saying.

But for now married men cheating is their fault and not the fault of the so called west and the girls.

I'd think the bold was implied in my post. Seems I had to spell it out.

@ the rest of the post, the reason why I too can't think of a good way to punish side chicks is because they don't have much to lose in such a situation. How do you punish that kind of person?

The person who's married has more to lose.
And the married person has more power to prevent the situation from getting deep to start with.

If things go south, the single person walks and leaves the married one with the mess,heartbroken kids,wives and husbands to deal with.

Even if one can think of a good punishment for them, it won't solve the situation. The most effective solution is for married people to take their vows more seriously.
