A post about a Nigerian man in the UK discovering nude pictures of his wife sent to a white man, and his contemplation of divorce and custody, sparked a wave of advice online. One comment stood out: “Never travel abroad with your wife.”
This comment unfairly generalizes the issue, implying that women, when taken abroad, will automatically engage in infidelity. It shifts the blame onto the context of living abroad rather than addressing individual responsibility and trust within relationships. Such statements fuel harmful stereotypes and overlook the deeper personal and relational issues at play. Rather than suggesting extreme measures like avoiding travel with one’s spouse, the focus should be on fostering trust, communication, and understanding in marriage.
