There's always a stigma about men who cheat; everyone naturally assumes he's the bad guy, blaming him for dipping his hands into other cookie jars. But no one seems to understand the enormous work it takes to be a cheat or a serial cheater.
Sure, it might seem like a breeze from the outside, but trust us, there’s a lot more sweat and stress than you’d think. So before you automatically label a guy a villain for dipping his toes in multiple ponds, maybe cut him a little slack. Just ask Felix Savage, who is our guinea pig as we dive deeper into the whole cheating circus.
Watch Felix's complicated love life
The eager beavers
In the great words of Drake, "eager beavers could be the collapse of a dam". Well, in the cheating game, if you aren't lucky, you'll always end up with an overly enthusiastic side chick who always wants to steal the spotlight and ends up jeopardizing your real relationship. It could be posting intimate pictures with you, leaving things that could get you caught, or even worse, things that can identify you. One wrong move, one slip-up, and boom - the whole house of cards comes tumbling down. Our boy Felix learned this the hard way. His mistress, Akunna, decided to be adventurous and left a big, fat, red lipstick kiss on his shirt where his wife could find it. And let's just say she did! Colette found the stain on his shirt, and it was a whole lot of drama.
Threat to life
Not many know this, but cheaters often face death threats and only luckily escape by the whiskers. This was Felix's case when Colette found the lipstick stain on his shirt. What did she do? She held a knife to his neck in the middle of the night. Can you imagine waking up to an upset woman holding a knife to your throat? Talk about a rude awakening! No one said cheating would be easy, but to face death threats? Whoa!
The weight of being there for every woman
But it's not just the physical danger. Being an all-around love guru is exhausting. Felix is the kind of guy who's always there for his ladies - wife, mistresses, flings, you name it. He's the shoulder to cry on, the listening ear, and the constant source of comfort. But it takes a toll. Imagine having to comfort your wife sobbing about losing her dog, and while you're doing that, your mistress is calling, needing you to be her human teddy bear. It's like trying to be Superman and Clark Kent at the same time, without the cool cape or perks of being a superhero. Let's just say, being a cheater is harder than it looks.
The blackmail
Can you believe the nerve of some people? Just when you think things can't get any worse for our boy Felix, along comes Gbemi. People see a young cheating man trying to live his best life, exploring pleasure in the arms of another, and say to themselves, "You know what would be a good idea? Blackmailing him." And this is exactly what Gbemi did to Felix when she caught wind of his affair with Akunna. She decided to extort him for the sum of 10 million Naira. What a world we live in where sharing love and affection with multiple women ends up with you getting fleeced of your hard-earned money. Something is just not right with the world.
