As an Italian man, I was raised with a simple morality regarding relationships:
a) Be a man and have honor - respect your promises. Do not cheat on your partner. If love fades as it happens, tell the truth and look for that someone you are truly compatible with.
b) Respect others, but also respect yourself - do not forgive a cheater, for if she cared about you, she wouldn't have broken your heart in the first place.
c) Your life is your own to live - nobody has any right to tell you who to spend your life with, or how to spend it. The decision to get married, or if to get married at all is something that you ought to decide for yourself.

I have never understood the mentality that leads men to leave their families, cheat on their partners or simply escape when things get tough - seems to me the behavior of children that think they can "get away with it" more than that of adult men, simple as that.

On the other hand, I have never understood how so many women can go behind their husband's/boyfriend's back, behave in a promiscuous manner and prioritize their temporary happiness over what they built together with their man, just to then turn around and "demand" respect and understanding. Disgusting to say the least, and something that in earlier times would have led to social ostracization.

This was meant to be more a rant against the status of modern society in the West, but after spending some time reading the relevant section s on Nairaland I think it applies here as well to be frank.

Ok

Lol... Oara, I thought you were a Nigerian in Italy?
Thanks, but this is not the right audience...

Nah I just found out about Nairaland some time ago from a Nigerian acquaintance and sort of stuck around since the forum looked interesting. And well...the thread was more me venting than anything else I guess.

That's nice... You joined recently, most foreigners don't stay long... Hopefully, you do...

Yeah... And it made sense... Few people would appreciate it...

Don't be a redpiller...

I don't really know why they do. I guess it is inborn.
