"On Becoming" - Ladies, Why Do We Keep Forgiving A Cheating Partner? by Medunah: 3:37am On Dec 01, 2016
Ok, so finally i read the book by toke makinwa I am deeply touched to say the least.

While reading the book, I kept wondering ‘why did she keep forgiving this guy? He is an an unrepentant cheat and a liar! She saw all the signs and still went ahead to marry the guy.
Funny thing is, this is what happens in almost every relationship, the guy cheats and the lady forgives cos she has been "brainwashed" that she is the main ONE.

After reading this book, it just made me realize that we the ladies fall a lot for the "lies and sweet talks" and we are just too emotional....... maybe it's cos we always feel like we that special one they keep coming back to?? Why do we keep forgiving when it's obvious they will do it again?


And then to maje (the husband), why did he marry toke when he knows he loved Anita more?'
Only to end up breaking toke"s heart by continuously cheating with Anita after marriage??

So to the guys, why would you date someone or marry someone only to end up cheating on that person with another?? Why not just date or marry the person you cheating with??

I dont forgive a cheating partner...
And i dont ask for forgiveness when i cheat on a partner...
Cos cheating simply means your partner is not enough for you.. And therefore can never be. Once a cheat is always a cheat. People dont stop cheating they only learn to cover their tracks better...
People should wise up...
And about the Toke makinwa's book, you cant be sure she is telling the truth... Some ladies can play victim.. I personally dont trust that lady and same goes to Tiwa savage... Sorry if youre a fan

Now, i am not saying toke makinwa is blameless in all of this cos I keep wondering why she married the guy when she saw all the signs?
Even His elder Sis warned her, family and friends told her he wasn't it but she still went ahead....
He cancelled wedding twice or was it thrice? Hian!

This book is an eye opener for me, I must say.!
Reading about what she went through and her struggles just makes me want to give her a hug coupled with the fact that she lost her parents at a very tender age.

People were too hard on her during the whole drama like twas entirely her fault.
I did criticize her and it was for the fact that she was giving people relationship advice when her own marriage was on fire. She always acted like she and maje had the perfect relationship when she knew fully well that maje was cheating on her......

Tuface and Annie is also another good example, Annie kept taking him back even after series of cheating issues and other baby mamas wahala.....

Tania Omotayo and wizkid also, dating today and off tomorrow when it was obvious wizkid was cheating before she finally left him......
And so many other cases like that

I guess different ladies do it for different reasons. To me I feel Toke has or had low self esteem and so felt dependent on the guy, like she can't do better.

Just like your case, her relationship with Maje became a routine, a cycle, part of her sub conscious.
When at this stage its extremely difficult to pull out.

Hopefully if more ladies can tell their story it might help the younger ones from falling prey. As women it seems we are abit soft, with the right guy, we can easily be swayed.

The only effective way to stop being played by a cheat is to stop the low self esteem & cut ALL communications wt the cheat. Relocate if need be. But the thing is most ladies does not have the liver to cut ties with a serial time wasting b.astard

Look if you think all men cheat then I don't think u will end up getting married.



Now before I tell you if I cheat or not, why not we get into a relationship first, den we ascertain who cheats first.



Deal? undecided

Lady, you are behaving too confrontational with the guy. You are acting like both of you have issues unsolved. I hope the effect of Reading and adoring Toke is not getting over you. pls, if you want relationship breakthroughs, learn from those that have been able to sustain one not failures because you will never get objective reasoning especially from you ladies.

no matter how many testimonies you ladies read you all will still be like this. to get a male partner is the sole aim of an average Nigerian woman, that's how it works. any other "ambition" don't really appeal to you for too long no matter how hard you try.

on the other hand, not too long our fore fathers married more than one, and even more. remember these genes are passed down to generations. if there will be a change it cannot be a rigid one but rather a flexible and slow process.

hard to swallow but that's the truth.

you made a good point. she should know ladies always play victim so toke's story should not be taken as absolutely truth. anyways, that's her concern.

Because women are worse cheats. They forgive their cheating partners because they know they are not any better.

Those ladies your boyfriends and husbands cheat with, don't you know they are mostly someone's girlfriend or wife cheating on their own bfs and husbands? Yet you ladies try to imply it's only men doing all the cheating. Bunch of pretenders that shouldn't be taken seriously.

Mr, I am not adoring toke, I just admire the fact that she was brave enough to share and accept her mistakes......and this is a common occurrence in our society, so why turn a blind eye to it?
Are u saying she should have stayed in the marriage regardless of the fact that he impregnated someone else? And that would have being her success story? Or are you saying it was her fault he cheated??

And about dingbang, he evaded the question and I confronted him about it and mind you, he wasn't the only one I quoted so I don't have any issues with him whatsoever....

That doesn't change the fact that he cheated over and over again and was also a chronic liar abeg and like I said earlier toke also had her own faults so I am not willing to go down that Lane again
