If you find yourself in a position to cheat what will you do?

Cheating is not even having sex with a woman, that's one mistake people make. Cheating is when you find yourself developing feelings for someone.


Now let me explain this. If a man finds himself in some situation, sleep with a woman for 30 mins and it's done and dusted, and then you move on with life. That cease to exist the second it ended. You only just broke your Marital vows, that's not cheating. You broke your marital vows.


Now Cheating is, when you start sharing the 100% of you with someone else. Now I am not talking about sex, I am talking about giving that person the extra time, chatting moments. "I miss you baby", "I miss you honey", "When can I see you again", planning trips with this person, you know?



Have you ever cheated on your wife?


I haven't and I don't see any reason why I should. I looked for a woman with everything I want, from beauty to brains, companionship and friendship.


I am more about building my family, building my life, and building a future for me, my 'internal' family and extended family. So I really don't have that time. I am always on set. I am always working. And the little time I do have I spend with family.



Do you cook for your wife?


Yeah, you know I love cooking and the beauty of cooking is when you see somebody enjoying your food. The beauty for me is when I see the person I love enjoying my meal and she is actually smiling... I cooked for her. I try to do everything and anything to make her happy. And cooking is one of them. She cooks for me, I cook for her. You know....it's just beautiful. As far as I am concerned.


Why do you think Men Cheat ?


People think it's in every man's DNA. I don't think so. It's a mindset. If you hang around people that cheat, you probably become a cheater. If you hang around people that are faithful to their women, they will influence you to be faithful to your woman. So it's a mindset. I don't think every man cheats and I don't think it's a word that we should use 'that every man cheats'.


There are people that are faithful to their wives not just because they are happy with their wives but because it's a spiritual thing. There are people that don't believe in sharing their body with just everyone.


So let's take that word 'Every man cheats'; and let's have 'Some men cheat' because they want to cheat. Same way you can't say every woman cheat but there are women out there that do cheat and they cheat because they want to cheat. It's a personal decision.



Can you forgive Infidelity?

Well... I have not faced it, so I can't sit down on this chair and say I can forgive it. But if I find out that my woman slept with someone she had no feelings for, it just happened. She just had sex. My pride will be hurt but I will easily forgive her than if I find out that she is dating someone, like proper dating. Travelling, trips here and there. Seeing themselves every now and then, all of that.


But you can't really sit down on the chair and say you can forgive this or you can forgive that. That's the truth. Because when you are faced with this life situation, that's when you will know what to do. That's when you will really realize that, those things you felt you could tackle in particular are not really the way it seemed to be.
