A man recently shared the painful story of discovering his girlfriend’s infidelity, which she confessed shortly after their two-year anniversary celebration. While many empathized with his hurt, one disturbing comment read, “You no sabi do, that’s why them dey help you,” implying that the man’s shortcomings justified the cheating and suggesting that the girlfriend shouldn’t have confessed.
This kind of response shifts blame onto the victim and normalizes infidelity, undermining the importance of trust and accountability in relationships. Cheating is never a justified solution to dissatisfaction, and dismissing it as the victim’s fault encourages toxic behaviors. Healthy relationships require communication and mutual respect—not betrayal disguised as a way to “help” a partner.
