Sam’s Hangout #135 - “NAVIGATING CHEATING"

"No matter how small the dishonest deed is, at the end of the day, cheating is cheating." — Mohammad Amir.


Hello, my lovely Hive Naija people. It’s another beautiful weekend, and we’re excited to have you here once again. A new weekend simply means another chance to buzz the Hive blockchain, connect with one another, and simply have fun. You'll also agree with me that there’s something special about bringing everyone together to gist, share opinions, and enjoy good vibes. That is exactly the reason we will continue to meet every weekend.

NAVIGATING CHEATING

Now to our discussion for this weekend! We will be discussing "NAVIGATING CHEATING”.
Cheating remains one of the most difficult challenges relationships face. While some people believe infidelity is an unforgivable betrayal that should automatically end a relationship, others believe people can make mistakes, take responsibility, and genuinely work towards rebuilding what they have damaged. However, forgiveness does not always mean reconciliation, and saying sorry does not necessarily mean someone is willing to change.

So, when trust is broken, what should accountability look like, and is forgiveness always the answer?

Here's the question!

Do you believe cheating should be an automatic deal-breaker in a relationship, regardless of the circumstances? Or do you think a person who genuinely acknowledges their actions, takes responsibility, and demonstrates a willingness to change deserves another chance? If you found yourself in this situation, how would you approach it? What requirements would you give to accept them back or would you rather cut all connections between you two?

OR

Do you believe forgiving a partner who has cheated is possible without necessarily continuing the relationship? What should accountability look like beyond apologies and promises, and how can someone know when genuine remorse is being demonstrated rather than simply expressed to avoid losing the relationship?

If you have a topic you would like us to discuss in our future hangouts, please feel free to suggest it to us in the comment section and tag @sam.hangout to it.

It's easy to throw tantrum about forgiveness when a partner cheats. However the fact that we are humans places us at a disadvantage to err sometimes and Talking Forgiving is easy but the trauma that plays in a partner's mind with the idea of their partners cheating is what keeps the crisis.

Those thoughts and imaginary pictures of what they might have done is what makes forgiveness incomplete. I might believe her apology is sincere, and she's truthfully remorse, but the thoughts never leaves. One could overlook the infidelity but never the act because it keeps coming.

Personally, I either haven't been cheated on or haven't caught her yet and might not know what I'll do in such state. But the downside about me is that "memories sticks for long" and this would make it hard to forget even though I may hide under the illusion of "we are just human, everyone makes mistakes".

Yeah I think loyalty is very paramount in every relationship and cheating should not be condoned unless for some special reasons although no reason is special to defend a cheating partner either in dating or marriage but in a case of marriage when it's certain that the partner is not such a person and it was caused out of carelessness and not a deliberate act, of which there's remorseful act and willingness to seek for a second chance, then I guess such a union can be given another chance although the trust in the marriage might not be like before.
It's like a sticker that has been peel off, it won't stick like the first time.

@marsdave @goldenproject here I am and I've dropped mine. You guys should not cheat o else I'll tell her not to forgive you 😜😜

It's easier said than done, many might say that what's the big deal just forgive and let it go. But the truth is that forgiveness doesn't mean you'll ever forget that your partner cheated on you and in as much as you keep remembering what they did, each time they're far away from you, you won't have peace, as you'll find your thoughts keep drifting away to the imagination of 'what if he or she is out there cheating again?'.

These thoughts will ultimately meer the relationship is it wasn't meer from the exact time you discovered they're cheating and that because the trust has been broken, and like we all know, trust are like an egg or a glass, once broke, it can never be reinstated back to the way it was before. So why you can say I'm sorry, I'll become a better person, the truth is that your sorry can't heal they would your cheating/infidelity actions as caused on your partner.

Personally for me, cheating is a deal breaker and I don't think I'll ever continue in a relationship where my partner cheat on me, regardless of what their excuses may be, they have any opportunity to talk to me or say no to the temptation of cheating, but didn't. And given my experience with a cheating partner in the past, I would never put myself in a position where I'll have to go through the effect of cheating again.
So in a nutshell, If you cheat, that's the end of our relationship for me, and it's for the sake of my peace.

Abi what do you think about the subject matter @nkemakonam89 @marsdave @oluwadrey ?
