A toxic post on X advised men to deliberately cheat before marriage to test a woman’s forgiving nature. In response, one user supported this view, stating, “You’re right. Cos a good woman won’t leave you just because you slept with another woman.”
This comment is harmful because it reframes tolerance for betrayal as moral superiority and implies that women who set boundaries are “bad.” It strips individuals of the right to decide what they can or cannot accept in a relationship and normalizes infidelity as something insignificant.
Equating goodness with endurance of disrespect promotes unhealthy relationship dynamics and emotional manipulation. Fidelity and honesty are reasonable expectations, not weaknesses. A person choosing to leave after being cheated on is exercising self-respect, not demonstrating a lack of virtue.
