Women Lose Interest In Relationships, Marriage Once They Begin To Cheat – Yuletide Edochie

Published

on

Nollywood actor, Yul Edochie, has claimed that infidelity on the part of a woman affects her relationship or marriage more than that of a cheating man.

Featuring in a recent episode of The Honest Bunch Podcast, the actor argued that, unlike men, women lose interest in their relationships once they begin to cheat.

He stated that men should never forgive cheating, stressing that women who cheat have already lost interest.

The actor said any man who forgives cheating is a “weak man.”

He noted that women are faithful and supportive when they are truly in love, but a lot of men choose women who don’t love them, which makes those women cheat on their men with their true loves.

Edochie said, “If you meet a woman who loves you, she will be willing to do anything for you. But the problem is that a lot of men are with women who don’t love them and are wasting their time. So, they can’t get commitment from them because those women are not into them. She is into someone else.

I don’t want to mention names, but look at the recent controversy over the alleged illicit affair of a young man with a married woman, where the husband was complaining to his wife to save their marriage, and the wife was trying to protect the young man. That is because it is the young man that she truly loves. Do you know how much she might have spent on him?

“I tell you, once a woman begins to cheat, she has checked out emotionally and psychologically. That is why, in some of the leaked alleged voice notes of the cheating woman and her lover, they were mocking her husband. It is normal for many women that once they begin to cheat, they have checked out.

“So, there is nothing like forgiveness when it comes to cheating. If you do, you are a weak man. People don’t understand, women love deeper. Just find the one who loves you, and you will be surprised how sweet life is. You can tell once you meet the one who loves you. Don’t be a fool because of a woman. If you simp for women, you can’t get a real woman. You must set boundaries. Women don’t love weak men,” he added.
