Why does she stick around?

Have you ever wondered why women choose to stay with their cheating partner after numerous incidences of infidelity?

The reasons vary from staying together for the sake of the children, deep love & affection to religious beliefs- “til death do us part.”   This topic can be debated by many but no one knows it better than the world’s most influential, power couple.  Everyone can recollect that unforgettable moment as it was seen worldwide when a woman had to share what was the worst moment of her life, face to face with everyone by way of a public confession by her unfaithful husband. One cannot fathom the level of humiliation and disappointment felt by both partners.  But no one knows how much more painful it was but her.  Many may say that it is a sign of weakness and low self-esteem to stay with a cheating partner but no one will truly relate until that bridge is crossed.  No one can relate to the devastating effects of cheating like the people involved. 

There is no greater horror than hearing a partner’s confession of infidelity.  Furthermore, it’s more horrific when there is deception involved and the woman has to find out on her own terms-spying.  The surprised look on his face is always priceless when he is busted, just to say the least.  A woman knows her man is cheating the moment he is up no good.  Fellas, why are you so emotional when it comes to dealing with the opposite sex?  They start shaving and cleaning places on their bodies that they would never do before, their libido falls drastically like they are premenopausal, which make the usual lovemaking session into a bunch of quickies, besides, running around like a teenage girl experiencing her first crush aint cute either.  The list can go on and on but y’all get the idea.

Staying together for the children is so cliché but have anyone put any thought to the welfare of these young, innocent individuals who are involved?  Staying together makes them seem happier, more focused and balanced.  Or, so it may seem?  Being raised by both parents has to be more beneficial because it gives them a great sense of security.  It also creates the idea that they too can achieve good relations to members of the opposite sex.  There is also the belief that they will become more functional and productive members of society.  How true is that?   Is it because they are sheltered from the inconsistencies, insecurities, and dangers of the ‘big bad world?’  Or maybe the real reason lies in the grounded foundation that is established, built, and maintained?

What are your thoughts? Is it fair to judge her? 

To act in betrayal is to be unfaithful in guarding, maintaining, or fulfilling your relationship.  With that said why someone would hurt the one whom they say they LOVE?  Is it that the word and its meaning is in anyway cliché? 

Sistas love hard and they go in hard into their relationships with hopes that their vested time and effort will be reciprocated by their partners but the reality is: it’s just not always the case.
