Toke Makinwa, the controversial podcaster who was once deeply hurt by her ex-husband’s infidelity, has recently expressed a change in her stance on the issue.
In a podcast episode released on Thursday, she revealed that cheating in a relationship or marriage is no longer an absolute deal-breaker for her, as it once was.
Having experienced the pain of betrayal, Toke Makinwa has now acquired a new perspective on infidelity.
She shared that as she has grown older, she has come to acknowledge that women may be inclined to cheat more easily.
However, she also emphasized that the main reason some women choose not to engage in infidelity is their own self-restraint.
In her words;
“I think a lot of women need to reject the stigma. If I cheat, it’s okay for the man to do the same to me.
“I feel like I have gotten to a place in my life where you can’t shame the shameless. If I cheat tomorrow and you want to leave I will respect you. If you want to stay, don’t use it to taunt me because I have won the crown of a cheater.
“If I’m going to be very honest, cheating is no longer a deal breaker for me. It used to be; when I was younger, I would never have been able to say these. I would have said if he cheats, I’m putting him back in the street.
“As I grew older, I realized men cheat, women cheat. It’s easier for a woman to cheat, it’s self restraint that stops us. The reason why I’m not quick to put you out is I might be the first person to cheat on you. Forgive me as I have forgiven you.”
