I won’t throw away my marriage simply because my husband cheated or impregnated another woman – Nigerian lawyer says

“Someone asked me: “Stella, what if your husband cheats on you or even impregnates another ^{woman? Will you divorce him?” she wrote.}

 

^{I laughed. DIVORCE WHO?}

 

^{Me? Divorce my husband because he cheated or got another woman pregnant?} 

 

^{That will not even be the first thing that will cross my mind.} 

 

^{There are MANY ways to deal with a chêâting husband.} 

 

^{Divorce is not the only punishment available.} 

 

^{In fact, some punishments are so effective that the man will sit down and start asking himself:}

 

^{“Why did I do this thing?”} 

 

^{I believe marriage is bigger than one mistake, and I won’t throw away my marriage simply because my husband made a terrible decision.}

 

^{Forgiveness is possible. Reconciliation is possible. Consequences are also possible.}

 

^{But divorce?}

 

^{That would be the LAST thing on my mind.}
