7 Excuses Nigerian Men Give When You Catch Them Cheating

It’s painful when someone you genuinely love cheats on you. In fact, it breaks the heart really bad.
Sometimes, you may ask yourself if you aren’t good enough for him. Well, darling, you are unique and beautiful. Just that a cheat is always a cheat no matter how he tries to hide it.
Your man has no reason to cheat on you. As a matter of fact, no excuse is enough to justify cheating on someone you love. If someone has cheated on you before, you will understand what I mean.
In this article, I’ll share with you some of the excuses Nigerian men give when you catch them cheating. For Nigerian men there are classic excuses that have been used repeatedly over the years and keep getting used till date.
In no particular order, these are the most-used excuses Nigerian men give for cheating:
1. It was the devil
Ah, the all-time classic. Just blame it on the devil all the time. But hey, just hold it right there, sir. It was no devil, it was you all by yourself. You planned it, executed it and got the pleasure all by yourself.
2. I don’t know what came over me
I’ll tell you for free what came over you. Selfishness and inconsideration, that’s what.
3. I did not mean to hurt you
Once you catch him redhanded, he will tell you it’s never his intention to hurt you. Really? He has been sleeping with different girls in the neighbourhood, yet he claimed he never intended to hurt you.
Do you really fall for that lie? Let me tell you the truth… If he doesn’t want to hurt you, he won’t have cheated on you in the first place.
If you didn’t you would not have planned and executed it the first time, second time, third and other numerous times, with more than one girl.
Sit down, bruh, you meant to hurt her every single time.

4. She didn’t mean anything to me
The last thing you should tell your partner after cheating is that the person you cheated with means nothing to you. Leave it to a man to think that this will magically make it okay. What women hear is, her man thought so little of their relationship that he decided to jeopardize it for someone that meant nothing him
5. You Are The One I Truly Love
Another common lie your man will tell when you catch him cheating is, “You are the one I truly love, I’m just passing the time with her.”
But he fails to understand how heartbreaking that statement makes you feel. Ask yourself; if you were to turn the table around, he catches you cheating on him, will he take it likely. Of course, the answer is NO.
Any man that cheats on you doesn’t deserve your love. Even if he begs and promises to turn a new leaf, he will always cheat on you again. Do you know why? A snake is still a snake; it doesn’t matter if the skin changes.
6. She Seduced Me
We have heard this several times. Most men caught cheating always claimed that the other person seduced them. Well, even if the story is true, he could have resisted the temptation and say No. You can always fight temptation if you genuinely love your partner.
7. It Only Happened Once
Don’t expect your guy to agree that he has been cheating on you. He will only admit if you catch on the act. And he will tell you that since he has been with you, this is the only time he has been tempted to cheat on you. Well, you don’t expect your boyfriend to admit that he’s a serial cheat, do you?
