Infidelity - What is your view on infidelity? What would you consider infidelity? Would you stay with someone who has been unfaithful to you? Why?
Hello #qc-community, how are you doing? Trust fine. It’s yet another exciting time here. I welcome you to my blog. I wanted to shy away from this week’s topic, but then I had a deep reflection and decided to share my two cents on it.
As adults, there is some level of decent lives expected of us. To some extent, nobody cares how we live our lives as individuals or singles. But this narrative changes immediately we go into any form of partnership with another mature individual. We are expected to live our lives as bound by the contract, whether marital or otherwise.

Infidelity, from my point of view, is the breaking of trust, the agreed-upon terms and conditions of living between two mature adults. It is a deep betrayal of one's covenanted allegiance to another. To live and cohabit in a certain way that brings shame and disdain to the other party.
Infidelity happens when a party in a romantic relationship begins to stray from the agreed way of living, finds pleasure in the arms of other people instead of their real partner. Most times, those involved in infidelity do not have the boldness to engage in such acts in public. This is because their conscience still recognises that act as wrong.
However, infidelity has at some point become a thing of betting by some irresponsible partners. I once heard that a celebrity's partner had a bet with his friends on releasing some private pictures of his partner. He arrogantly took the bet and released the pictures. That single act brought the union to its knees.
Recently, some CEO’s of organisations have been shamed publicly. One recently trended on social media platforms who was caught on camera cheating with his employee at a night event. This is just one out of many that have happened recently. Much goes unnoticed.
It also shows how frail we are as humans. Some have blamed it on deadbeat partners, others have attributed it to a norm in society, given the unproven fact that men are meant to be polygamous. smiles What happens to simply informing the partner in the first instance about this stance, so there's preparation and an open-minded relationship rather than a surprise package of a 360-degree turn.

Infidelity hurts. It destroys what was beautifully built with emotions, trust, time, and patience, once it is discovered. Worst still, there is a chance of contracting diseases and mortality.
Huh, on this question, it all depends on the level of infidelity. If the person is unrepentant and a serial cheater, I will not be in such a relationship. My mental health and balance matter. At the end. It is what we allow into our lives that makes or mars us.
