Woman says that it’s better to marry a man who cheats than a greedy or abusive man
A Nigerian woman has in a video making rounds on social media said it is better for a woman to marry a cheating husband.
Speaking in a video, the woman said marriage is not a walk in the park and every woman would definitely face challenges because of the kind of men available.
According to her, every man falls into these three categories – a cheating husband, a greedy husband and an abusive husband. She said it is better for a woman to marry an unfaithful man, than a greedy or abusive man.
However, the woman’s statement has sparked different reactions online as netizens, especially women, bashed her for it.

Research from the past two decades shows that between 20 and 25 percent of married men cheat and between 10 and 15 percent of married women cheat, according to professor Nicholas Wolfinger. This shows how common cheating is in marriages.
Once you tolerate cheating, you are allowing yourself to trust people around you a little less than how you trusted them before just because of one person who screwed up. Everybody gets affected.
Some look at cheating as a black and white issue and others as one with many shades of grey. These differing viewpoints can cause big problems in any relationship. The question as to whether cheating is ever justified is both an ethical and moral one. The general answer for most is, “no”, it is never okay.
If there’s one thing cheating says about a person, it’s that they’re highly insecure. Their insecurities force them to constantly seek approval and attention, and guess what? If you’re not giving it to them in spades and buckets, they’ll soon be looking for validation elsewhere.
