“Men will be men” has excused too much disrespect.
<p>The Andrew marriage saga has made me realise how much society excuses men for cheating.</p><p>I’ve seen comments like, “She should count herself lucky,” “Men will always cheat,” </p><p>But why?</p><p>If you propose to a woman because you want to spend your life with her, why continue dating other women?</p><p>You will always meet someone more beautiful than your wife. You will always meet someone more handsome than your husband. That is life.</p><p>But attraction is not an excuse to disrespect your partner. At some point, you have to choose self-control and respect.</p><p>I’ve seen a man change women like wrappers, yet people still call one particular woman his “main babe.”</p><p>Main babe for what? 😭</p><p>If everybody around you knows your partner is constantly disrespecting the relationship, what exactly are you winning?</p><p>And I really dislike the “men will be men” narrative.</p><p>Men can say no. Women can say no. People make choices.</p><p>As for the woman involved, I actually like that she didn't turn everything into a social media series.</p><p>Not every relationship problem needs a camera.</p><p>If she wants to leave, let her leave.</p><p>If she wants to stay, let her stay.</p><p>Either way, the decision is hers.</p><p>Sometimes, the best thing you can do after a public relationship problem is take your life back offline.</p><p>The internet will move on.</p><p>You are the one who has to live with the decision.</p><p><br/></p>
