MARRIED cheats are the biggest drivers of infidelity and betrayal.
They seem not to care anymore for their loyal spouses, who would have invested a lot into these unions.
All they have brought in life is misery and heartbreaks.
Cheating appears to have become an in-thing among many couples nowadays.
Some of these married cheats are now habitual offenders in this wicked game of infidelity.
As the media, we have been exposing these shenanigans but the demon is yet to be exorcised.
Cheating has stolen the gloss, which used to be associated with the marriage institution.
What is sad about modern day infidelity is that our spouses are even cheating with people close to us.
Siblings, friends and neighbours are some of the culprits.
Other spouses have been cheating with people we are helping like orphans, domestic workers and even beggars.
Research has also shown that poverty, lust and manipulation are the major drivers of infidelity and cheating among young couples.
And, being cheated by your spouse is hard to take, especially when you had trusted your partner.
Such sad memories of being cheated on are hard to erase, especially when you have come a long way with your spouse.
The affection, joy and tears you shared together are also hard to forget.
It takes a strong heart and mental strength to get over this issue.
Maturity is needed when handling such cases, especially when the other party is caught in a compromising position.
Blood can be shed, when unfashionable ways to address cases of infidelity, are employed.
In yesterday’s issue of this newspaper, we carried a spine-chilling article about a Zengeza 3 Extension self-styled prophet and carpenter who was stabbed to death.
He had been caught locked up in the bedroom with a married woman.
The cold blooded bedroom murder has become the talk of the dormitory town, which is now known for its bizarre cases.
After committing the heinous act, the suspect and his wife disappeared from the crime scene.
Prior to their disappearance, the suspected murderer’s wife had contracted the carpenter to fix the wardrobe.
The carpenter’s body was left in a pool of blood.
With theories still flying on what prompted the man to kill the carpenter, this should come as a lesson to people that we need to practice self-control.
Killing someone, when you suspect that they have wronged you, is never a solution.
It is high time we learn to practice self-control to avoid trouble when we come across illicit affairs involving our partners.
Prescribing instant justice is never a solution but a recipe for disaster.
Taking the legal route, or walking out of these adulterous affairs, is the best solution.
Many people are now in jail for such crimes of passion, which can be handled without the involvement of violence.
