Cheating is avoidable, but forgiving isn’t that easy

Editor, Good job on such a good article. I do agree that marriage is a sacred union that should withstand any sort of winds. However, marriage is not supposed to be a burden to one of the partners, neither both of them.We live in a completely transformed world; a world without real love. Real love would go beyond all defects no matter how hard and challenging they are.But also real love means not cheating on your partner, right? It is very hard to generalise on how people react after they find out their partner is cheating on them.Let’s think and focus on preventing people from cheating. It is a bad habit indeed. Cheating starts early and people do not take it seriously.It starts by stealing change when your parents send you to the market to buy something. It grows in school, when students cheat in exams.It is considered “cool” when young people date many people (boys and girls alike) and, finally, there it is, in marriage. Cheating is bad but it can be prevented.Let’s work on preventing it.Jean-Léon Iragena,Jackson, MS,USA*****************Cheating on a person you claim to love is the worst thing in life, and forgiving such a person is just next to impossible. If the love of your life has cheated on you, what guarantee do you have that she/he will not do it again? Are you anyway ready to see the cheating happen again?However, cheating hurts most when the cheated has sacrificed everything in the name of love but only to be disappointed. If you have not done anything to keep the relationship in its original state, then beware of the cheating just not far from you.Mustapher Abdullah Kaggwa, Muhima, Kigali,RwandaReactions to the story, “For better and for worse; would you take him back if he cheats?”, (The New Times’ Women Magazine, May 2)
