Someone posted a meme in one of my Facebook groups that asked, "If A Woman Cheats, Is It The Man's Fault?" Let me drop this bomb: It is never a man's fault if a woman cheats. Regardless of the circumstances, someone should never drive you to cheat on your spouse. I don't care if they slept with your best friend or aunt/cousin, there's no excuse for cheating. When someone cheats, they make that choice on their own, nobody made it for them. A group member was like "A man is at fault for a woman's cheating because he drove her to cheat based on his mistreatment of her" I shook my head because this person is big on accountability, and for her to come out her mouth like that is stupid. I would have kept that to myself because she made herself look crazy with that statement. If someone "makes" you cheat, they have power over you. I refuse to give anyone my power. If I cheat, it had nothing to do with my woman; that's on me. Some people preach accountability, but when it comes time to be held accountable, deflection is a given. A woman can be dead wrong for cheating, but she will find a reason to deflect to him. He's never there for me, the other guy made me feel loved, you work too much, and a list of other excuses. For women to be supposedly smarter than men, they don't act like it sometimes. Deflection is not a good look on anyone, man or woman. If a woman cheats, own it. Blaming the man for what she chose to do speaks volumes about her character.
