Controversial podcaster, Toke Makinwa, shares her evolving perspective on infidelity, explaining why cheating in a relationship or marriage is no longer an absolute deal breaker for her as it used to be.
In a recent podcast episode released on Thursday, Toke Makinwa, who had previously accused her ex-husband, Maje Ayida, of being a serial cheat, delves into her changing views on the subject of cheating over the years.
She acknowledges that with age, she has come to realize that women may find it easier to cheat, and the primary reason some refrain is due to self-restraint.
In her words;
“I think a lot of women need to reject the stigma. If I cheat, it’s okay for the man to do the same to me.
“I feel like I have gotten to a place in my life where you can’t shame the shameless. If I cheat tomorrow and you want to leave I will respect you. If you want to stay, don’t use it to taunt me because I have won the crown of a cheater.
“If I’m going to be very honest, cheating is no longer a deal breaker for me. It used to be; when I was younger, I would never have been able to say these. I would have said if he cheats, I’m putting him back in the street.
“As I grew older, I realized men cheat, women cheat. It’s easier for a woman to cheat, it’s self-restraint that stops us. The reason why I’m not quick to put you out is I might be the first person to cheat on you. Forgive me as I have forgiven you.”
