I think I'm still quite a traditional woman, so I haven't done the dating scene.
00:00:04.800
Traditional women get married before the age of 25.
00:00:20.000
When guys hear that you're figuring yourself out, they just think you're sleeping.
00:00:27.480
Like, have you ever been cheated on, and how did you find out?
00:00:35.060
I've had two boyfriends, and they've both cheated on me.
00:00:38.380
I think the first time I found out was through my friend.
00:00:45.900
And the second time, a video of my boyfriend actually got put on YouTube
00:00:50.280
of him on FaceTime to another girl doing not-so-good things.
00:01:02.580
It was, like, someone screen recorded the FaceTime call.
00:01:05.900
And I got a message on Instagram, and this woman basically said, like,
00:01:09.600
if you don't give me money, I'm going to post it.
00:01:13.920
I said, if he's cheating on me, I'm not going to help him.
00:01:30.840
Well, you know, when you go on FaceTime, sometimes, like,
00:01:33.380
guys go on FaceTime to a girl, and they'll, you know...
00:01:37.280
Yeah, like, he was having phone sex with this girl.
00:01:54.160
So, yeah, I've been cheated on before once, to my knowledge.
00:02:00.300
And basically, it was a long time ago, but I found out two years later
00:02:03.780
because I started dating without knowing, again, one of his friends.
00:02:08.420
And then his friend told me, oh, by the way, three years ago.
00:02:25.440
Maybe you thought it would make him look better or something.
00:02:34.420
I mean, I won't even respect a girl doing that.
00:02:39.140
Like, if me, if my friend cheated on a guy and then he was then dating me, I wouldn't
00:02:46.760
Especially at the time, if I didn't tell him, why am I telling him after?
00:02:51.260
I wouldn't date him, but just say, even if it was, even if by coincidence, I didn't know
00:02:55.360
that was her man and he was to come in my life, I wouldn't then, because if I didn't tell
00:03:03.360
Yeah, I kind of wish he didn't because I just got hurt for no reason, basically.
00:03:23.020
Yeah, I mean, it's less heartbreaking in that sense, but it still hurts.
00:03:47.140
I literally just went on his phone and I saw everything I needed to see.
00:03:54.680
A guy told me, if you look at any time, you'll always find something you have an issue with.
00:03:59.280
No, but I just got handed the phone and it was right in front of me.
00:04:11.140
For Valentine's Day, I'm going to take him out.
00:04:34.300
It just got really toxic from there to when it's ages.
00:04:40.020
If you went through his phone and you didn't find anything,
00:04:43.200
would you have told him you went through his phone?
00:04:45.440
The thing is, so he just kind of like gave me his phone
00:04:50.720
Like all the messages were right in front of me.
00:04:57.380
Maybe I would have told him I went through his phone.
00:05:10.880
So basically, his cheating was never confirmed.
00:05:16.140
Even though I've got substantial evidence to say that he's cheated on me,
00:05:23.340
So at uni, there was three of us or four of us that were friends.
00:05:30.120
And then when I broke up with my partner at the time,
00:05:41.820
Yeah, because me, I like to be connected to your mind.
00:05:48.240
So you're like, ooh, there's his friend and then...
00:06:17.220
We were together for about, I'll say, two years.
00:06:35.740
because they were meant to get their own property,
00:06:37.700
we might as well just like all live in one place.
00:06:50.760
And I started noticing a different behavior in her.
00:07:02.000
Like anyway, she, they then disappeared one day
00:07:24.020
because she's, you know, dressing up a bit more.
00:07:32.400
oh, I think I know like she's definitely cheating,
00:07:39.700
then the next day he disappeared for the whole night.
00:07:54.320
So she's taken her laptop now to go and Just Eat.
00:07:59.720
she obviously doesn't know how to use the laptop.
00:08:25.180
Basically, when he came back from his night away,
00:08:44.820
So as I've now gone to put the postcode on his phone,
00:08:54.380
So straight away in the whole group of friends,
00:09:07.980
And then he's now told me that he's got her to order food
00:09:10.520
because he couldn't trust anyone else to order food
00:09:13.020
because everyone else would have told me he's at the hotel.
00:09:17.360
yeah, I find that he was cheating with my flatmate.
00:09:43.880
So he then convinced me that his girlfriend wasn't cheating on him.
00:09:47.680
He then made me feel bad that I'm even making such a big allegation.
00:09:55.720
So yeah, he convinced me that they didn't do a thing.
00:10:07.740
What made you switch like from being convinced to not convinced?
00:10:23.360
You were, you were convinced or you were not convinced?
00:10:40.540
university has happened and we've all graduated.
00:11:02.600
And as I was going on a show to watch the profile,
00:11:11.220
So I won't say the show because obviously it was disclosed who she is,
00:11:15.720
so I thought it's the show that he was watching,
00:11:24.820
So I've now inserted the first one and it wasn't showing.
00:11:26.960
So I inserted the second one and it came up with a folder and it had all her
00:11:32.820
So I've now gone onto my computer to go see what,
00:11:47.940
I've gone to unhide folders and there was about 60 folders of girls pictures
00:11:52.900
that he must've been chatting to over the time.
00:12:13.800
Then I found out that he was actually then cheating on me with his ex.
00:12:45.140
the flatmate only sent him pictures because he was giving her advice on what to wear.
00:13:17.020
I used to see messages from a girl called S coming up and I had doubts.
00:13:33.080
Then the next day I had taken the number S's number and I called it the next day and I said,
00:13:42.140
And I heard him start laughing in the background and he had a very specific laugh.
00:14:01.360
But the first instance you caught him cheating,
00:14:04.800
obviously I had the doubts over the four years.
00:14:55.200
but then I'd ask him and then sometimes he'd say no.
00:15:22.680
I never ask questions if I can't handle the answer.
00:15:28.260
but I would ask a question when I know that I can handle the truth.
00:15:44.700
I can handle the truth a lot better than you're lying.
00:15:46.600
I think sometimes women say you can handle the truth,
00:15:56.040
and I think that's why a lot of guys would then lie,
00:16:11.440
Men will test whether they can be truthful with you throughout the relationship.
00:16:14.600
And you don't clock those little tests where you might say,
00:16:18.940
but that response tells us a lot about how you behave.
00:16:22.480
there's no way you're going to tell you anything.
00:16:24.720
The response she gives you when she first finds out,
00:16:28.380
is going to be far better than when she finds out you've lied to her,
00:16:32.080
because that's when she's vandalizing your car.
00:16:38.380
So even if she says she can handle it and she reacts,
00:16:40.680
it's going to be a lot more better than when she finds out that you've lied on top of that.
00:16:52.140
I think guys can't handle the truth even more though.
00:16:54.340
I don't think guys can handle the truth any better.
00:17:05.080
If we told you the truth about all the things that we thought when you asked for our opinion,
00:17:36.140
I went to his house and young lady answered the door.
00:17:59.240
you just see all the colour just drained out of his face.
00:18:08.320
She went downstairs to get the coffee and he looked at me and I said,
00:18:22.140
And she's trying to cuddle him in bed because they were in bed.
00:18:48.520
Because I've got a lot of male friends and she always saw us with a lot of men together.
00:18:53.660
But obviously the energy you came with as well,
00:18:55.420
wouldn't be someone that you would assume was a big guy.
00:19:03.640
They've been trying to grab a plate and do something.
00:19:18.660
I'd pop round there like when I was talking to the guys,
00:19:40.980
I think he cheated on her because another time I just saw all of his car had all paint all over it.
00:20:09.760
I think it's more insane to like torture him over like time.
00:20:16.080
Because you could have easily just taken their jaw off and then that'd be it.
00:20:23.520
take his jaw off and then walk around and just forget about it.
00:20:27.040
I could never hit a man because if he hit me back,
00:20:38.280
I'm not going to hit a man and knowing that he's going to hit me back.
00:20:50.140
I was a supervisor in a bus garage and I got a phone call.
00:20:54.960
My boyfriend was a night bus driver and I got a phone call and they passed a message
00:21:21.380
you're going to need a new driver in a couple of months.
00:21:29.860
we had like this relationship contract that I'd signed and laminated and got him to sign.
00:21:59.800
I think a lot of times we have a hard time like remaining calm.
00:22:22.760
Because it could be a female friend you're going to sleep with.
00:22:24.860
It could be a woman down the road that you meet up.
00:22:27.940
So I'm not going to say you can't have female friends.
00:22:30.120
So he had female friends and that was one of them.
00:22:35.500
He knew it was over cause he signed the contract.
00:22:41.260
What do you think of girls that stay in those situations?
00:22:46.200
Then they're going to start talking about trauma after that.
00:23:01.100
Cause a lot of times like we accepted it and then complain about trauma
00:23:10.060
what value are you putting on yourself that you're staying?
00:23:21.560
especially when you're emotionally involved for you to just up and leave.
00:23:29.040
but that's cause modern women think men are monogamous.
00:23:35.920
I'm just saying only one out of three men are either virgins or haven't had sex in the
00:23:42.560
But they're the ones that you're not attracted to.
00:23:46.080
Monogamous men that often might not cheat on you.
00:23:54.840
So most women are sleeping out of their league or dating out of their league.
00:24:01.060
And most of them guys that everyone goes for is going to be a select pack.
00:24:13.180
And I think this is the problem is because in society now where we don't allow men to
00:24:19.920
And then that's the men that are often caught in cheating and families are breaking.
00:24:23.220
Whereas like parts of Asian Africa where polygamy is a lot more accepted.
00:24:28.180
multiple wives and they raise them and their society is a lot more stable.
00:24:32.260
But don't you think that the onus should be on the men to know what they can and cannot
00:24:36.740
if you know that you're a man who wants to have multiple women,
00:24:40.780
you should know what you want and you should make that clear.
00:24:44.700
I'm not here for you being in a monogamous relationship.
00:24:47.380
Cause I've had guys say that where they're in a monogamous relationship,
00:24:56.900
You should not be in a monogamous relationship.
00:25:00.060
I think most of the modern men don't want a second wife.
00:25:06.600
So they want to remain monogamous to the one that they love,
00:25:13.700
There are women who want open relationships too.
00:25:22.260
when a woman communicates to you and lets you know that she just wants,
00:25:28.920
But then that's not the reality of what you're living because there are women,
00:25:34.740
if you want to be with someone and you don't want to be tied,
00:25:38.760
in a different age now where a lot of women don't actually want to be tied
00:25:44.280
But I think that women aren't honest with ourselves and like kind of lie
00:25:49.680
a lot of times girls will date a guy and they know he's a cheater.
00:25:55.480
even there's a lot of women that entertain men that are in relationships or are married
00:26:18.140
why would I entertain a man who speaks about it,
00:26:23.240
that's something I can consider if it's a part of my lifestyle,
00:26:29.380
that's not polygyny if your partner is not aware.
00:26:40.460
Do you think if we accept cheating the first time,
00:26:42.920
you're basically saying it's okay for the rest?
00:26:47.240
I feel like if you accept it the first time and you said,
00:26:58.900
because you could be then technically single and you will go back and forth with him for months or years.
00:27:06.940
I don't think staying the first time will enable,
00:27:10.340
like will mean he can carry on doing it or he's going to get away with that.
00:27:17.140
we have this idea of like ownership with people.
00:27:27.960
some people don't know what they have until you're at the point of kind of losing it.
00:27:31.720
And there are some men who they cheat one time and they realize that actually,
00:27:40.100
They realize what they have and what they could lose.
00:27:48.720
I don't believe that because I know more life men who have cheated once.
00:28:03.640
I feel like men cheat more when you tell them not to,
00:28:06.240
or when you put pressure for them to have to be monogamous.
00:28:13.420
Can I just say that when the women talk about alpha,
00:28:22.840
So they weren't somebody that there's ordinary people.
00:28:27.420
It wasn't like anybody that anybody else would want.
00:28:40.680
You can get a man that's like an ordinary everyday man,
00:28:52.140
and that is such a word because some guys are not what society,
00:28:58.720
I think there's something in men here that when a woman likes them,
00:29:04.180
I feel like it makes them feel like I'm the shit now.
00:29:08.120
And so then they start walking in that spirit and then they think I can do anything I want to do.
00:29:12.740
what you're basically saying is that you understand why men behave the way they behave,
00:29:17.680
but you still get angry at the way they behave.
00:29:24.060
And this is where society is geared towards women.
00:29:26.680
Like men have to sacrifice what they have to do naturally to conform to what a woman wants.
00:29:36.040
So I always say that men should have practice discipline.
00:29:38.540
I've done so myself because I know it's important to successful monogamous relationships.
00:29:45.940
like you're born of value in terms of the sexual marketplace,
00:29:52.780
he's going to take it more time as if he lacks discipline.
00:29:55.440
And can I just say that I believe that most of the time,
00:30:00.640
it's nobody wants these men until he's got a woman.
00:30:14.960
But it's just that they always want a man that somebody else has got.
00:30:24.480
like we wanted men that got other women because it was a sign that he could take care of us too.
00:30:31.200
I think what society doesn't realize is that men don't have to cheat.
00:30:34.880
If you want multiple partners that you're going to be responsible for,
00:30:53.840
there's nothing worse than having two of you in one place.
00:31:27.720
it's not that you need to have a girlfriend and cheat on her.
00:31:33.380
So if you want to be with me and I give you these perks.
00:31:35.760
but why would he do that when he can just cheat on you and y'all stay?
00:31:40.100
but then when you get the toxic behavior from her,
00:31:42.660
When she then vandalizes your whole property and everything else,
00:31:54.200
but I never did anything toxic or crazy or any,
00:31:57.220
any of the shit that I hear girls say that that's a,
00:32:07.500
I call it disrespect and reacting to disrespect.
00:32:11.680
I feel like when a woman doesn't react and a man cheats and he gets away with it,
00:32:15.700
he doesn't learn that this has hurt or impacted someone.
00:32:20.240
he has to either have discussions with her or he needs to realize,
00:32:37.600
and like looking at his messages or I can't remember exactly how you said you found out.
00:32:42.740
He didn't learn his lesson because he had like a million side pieces.
00:32:46.480
But he never confirmed that he cheated or anything.
00:33:08.120
but then he did write me letters saying he wants me back.
00:33:16.720
Cause I know you made a point about reacting for him to understand that this is wrong.
00:33:20.980
Cause I don't react like the way you react to things.
00:33:42.520
But so I don't think you need to necessarily react to get,
00:33:52.200
cause I think I hear a lot of women sometimes say stuff like,
00:34:05.500
I would never refer to it as a woman reacting to it.
00:34:35.380
Like nobody can make you do anything like that.
00:34:42.700
but I just want to say an observation that I've made in this conversation.
00:35:00.520
She responded to the situation as the situation happened.
00:35:18.340
we're actually reacting before we get to the point where we're with the man.
00:35:23.820
And because there's so much on social media and so much access to different
00:35:39.160
It shows your maturity level and your emotional management.
00:35:49.140
you're not just going to flip out and start cussing because you don't want to
00:35:54.720
you haven't really calculated how you're going to manage it.
00:36:05.060
we're very reactionary to what's going on around us rather than,
00:36:10.700
grounding ourselves first and then having like a clear thought and then
00:36:27.980
someone's cheating and you would go absolutely mad at them and you'd cry and,
00:36:42.260
There's no point in wasting your energy when you're not going to get
00:37:04.380
the guy's going to change or he's going to see it differently.
00:37:07.020
He's probably still going to do the same thing,
00:37:11.600
when do women come to the realisation that that's how they're built?
00:37:17.100
and this is what I was saying before is that there's two lenses.
00:37:21.500
but you're only seeing things through your lens.
00:37:23.020
So how you perceive sex is how you think men perceive sex.
00:37:27.720
And what I'd like to know is after you found out and you went back,
00:37:39.900
Or was you always watching him or was down his phone or always irritating him,
00:37:44.880
But I think that's the end of the relationship anyway.
00:38:01.300
I think it's the emotions of love and having to like grieve the relationship
00:38:12.960
But then also you have women that will break up with guys in their head
00:38:23.300
if we're going to go off the pretense that most men behave this way and the men
00:38:26.660
that you're attracted to are in a small percentage of men who will do the same
00:38:31.860
doesn't it make more sense to stay with the devil that you know,
00:39:05.900
especially with like social media and all these things,
00:39:09.160
we have these experiences and then we're anticipating something going wrong.
00:39:24.380
I think some women weigh up their risks and the rewards because I,
00:39:36.740
I don't believe in staying with someone and every chance you get,
00:39:39.640
you're bringing this up and all that kind of stuff.
00:39:45.720
But I also think that there are women as well who weigh up the realities of life.
00:39:52.340
a lot of what a lot of people think about love,
00:39:58.840
But the realities of life is that I'm at this age,
00:40:07.200
What am I going to lose if I walk away from this and what's really out there?
00:40:25.340
I've invested so much time in this relationship.
00:40:29.380
And let's move forward and do whatever it is that we need to do to come to an understanding that this can't happen again.
00:40:49.060
they lose so much because the women have been planning it for a time.
00:40:52.800
Very few times where they cheat and then you actually get past it and have a happy life.
00:41:04.780
I think modern women can't cause we've been sold a bill of goods that men can't live up to.
00:41:08.500
And we're told that he has to be taller than us,
00:41:11.480
like be basically Prince Charming and not cheat on you.
00:41:23.640
love is something that transforms every day when you're working on it.
00:41:26.980
And if you're not working on it with your partner,
00:41:30.980
If you're going to look at love as a romantic thing,
00:41:35.220
your man's going to be considerate to you every day.
00:41:39.480
You have that mentality of entitlement just because you're in the relationship.
00:41:44.160
And I think from like my experience of observation,
00:41:48.180
men get tired of that because what's the benefits to them?
00:41:59.420
they can go to somebody else who wants much less and is happy with that.
00:42:08.580
So it kind of undoes all the work that's been put into the relationship on his side.
00:42:28.400
but then like the girl needs to give the energy back as well.
00:42:31.300
It's about gratitude and reciprocation as well.
00:42:37.240
Do you think modern women deserve to be courted?
00:42:50.360
But I definitely think there should be some level of the basic respect from that.
00:42:58.540
we'll text and then we'll meet up and then like,
00:43:03.440
you should really get to know each other and make sure that you're both on the same level.
00:43:20.720
Because I think you might have taken it more personally than he did.
00:43:23.600
But how did it make you feel knowing that he cheated?
00:43:29.900
the problem was I came from a polygamous household.
00:43:38.100
So I've come from a very honest and transparent relationship.
00:43:42.280
The reason I felt disrespected is because this person obviously didn't want to tell me.
00:43:50.620
I'm not actively searching is because no man is honest and will say to me,
00:43:56.100
I do want multiple women because when I ask them,
00:44:08.540
you're the exception to the rule because women often fall in love with what they hear.
00:44:18.440
Traditional women get married before the age of 25.
00:44:39.380
the reason why I'm not pushing for the divorce or whatever is because within my situation,
00:44:46.580
If it's better for me to stay or better for me to be ending up in the streets and in the streets of London,
00:45:00.240
what happened is we were a lot younger and cause I was conforming to like,
00:45:03.760
just say the Western ideologies and social media put a big pressure on what I expected from the relationship.
00:45:12.980
And I put importance on that instead of me actually looking and growing with the person and,
00:45:29.360
I probably will end up back with him just cause it's,
00:45:35.360
Do you think women by that women leave nice guys?
00:45:40.540
but the guy who didn't stay with the guy who cheated because I didn't know for sure.
00:45:48.480
that was like my first full on relationship because where obviously I am also religious,
00:45:57.720
if it's a big thing for me to even try fornicate,
00:46:02.680
I was staying with him because my intention was marriage and we were planning to get married.
00:46:09.020
Wouldn't it be more secure in the second cause you are married?
00:46:14.920
the reason why I'm not leaving is because he's,
00:46:25.780
So why do you know it's going to work in three years time?
00:46:29.820
Cause it sounds like you've got it all figured out now that you know what a great guy he is
00:46:43.880
I feel like we need time to figure ourselves out.
00:46:54.280
He feels like he has to have X amount of money.
00:46:57.960
Cause I feel like men feel like women will cheat on them if they're not doing certain things.
00:47:02.340
And I think he feels like if he doesn't provide me with a million roses and all of that,
00:47:08.320
He doesn't realize that I'm a religious person.
00:47:13.300
I just think that you need to get it sorted sooner or later and have a conversation.
00:47:18.220
Because you can both work it out together and grow together.
00:47:23.240
you can both be in separate places in three years.
00:47:31.620
So why not do it now and see where you both are in three years rather than wait three years just to jump in.
00:47:46.440
I think there's certain things that you need to work.
00:47:50.000
I think there's because you guys got married when you were younger.
00:47:52.560
I think there's certain things where you have to work on by yourself to then be able to come together with someone.
00:47:58.860
So I get the three years thing because clearly you've got stuff that you want to work on and grow and whatever.
00:48:03.900
And I think if you guys get back, you guys get back together, that pressure is still going to be there because you haven't worked on your individual selves.
00:48:11.500
That's why I always say even with marriages and because I desire to get married and stuff, but I know that I'm not ready to get married now because there's stuff that I need to figure out.
00:48:18.860
And these are things I need to figure out by myself before I can then come together to figure that part of my life out.
00:48:28.920
You know, when you get when guys hear that you're figuring yourself out, they just think you're sleeping.
00:48:38.060
And honestly, that's what it sounds like, because I don't understand what do you know?
