Some time ago, on Nigerian twitter, there was a debate about polyamory and how it differs from cheating. From observing the conversations, I realized that people conflate polyamory and infidelity.
Let’s face it: It’s the digital age. We spend a lot of time on our mobile devices surfing the internet and using various social media platforms. It is inevitable that on these platforms, we will make friends and form relationships.
Isn’t it ridiculous how life seems to always be skewed towards one side? Rich people over poor people, straight people over gender minorities… Men over women? We’ve all talked or heard about “wife material”.
Nobody likes to be cheated on and most people will want a partner who will be dedicated and committed to the relationship/arrangement they have going. However, when there is infidelity, people respond in different ways.
One in four people you know have struggled or are struggling with one mental illness or the other. These people could be family members, close friends, and even current or prospective partners.
