I've had this topic on my mind for some time but the urge to write it became overwhelming when I heard about the death of South African goalkeeper Senzo Meyiwa. For those of you who do not know, Senzo was married and was simultaneously dating a singer. His extramarital affair was no secret, if anything at all, it was a 'national relationship'. Everyone knew about it. Sadly, Senzo was killed while he was with his girlfriend by unknown gunmen, and the debate about his cheating, and chances of being alive if he had been faithful to his wife has been all over social networks.
Cheating is not restricted to one sex. Both men and women find themselves falling into temptation at some point in their lives. I always say that most people who cheat are selfish individuals who are only interested in satisfying their desires, with no regard for how their partners may be affected. For some people, with every achievement they attain, the desire to cheat increases. Many people cheat to feed their egos and massage their low self-esteem. Most of us assume cheating in marriage is a norm that comes with no consequences... especially when our partners don't find out. Hmmm....
