“If your husband cheats, the first thing is to find how to help him come out of the problem,” he said.
The actor noted that anyone involved in cheating may already be struggling internally and would need understanding rather than condemnation.
He explained that real love should not be centered only on personal feelings.
Effiong also stated that resolving the act itself should come before discussing deeper relationship problems.
He maintained that helping a partner stop cheating is the first priority before addressing other marital issues.
“I know it’s a hard thing to think about but don’t be self seeking that way,” he added.
The movie star went on to compare cheating with other wrong actions such as lying, stealing, or disrespect, insisting that couples should work through such challenges together instead of immediately giving up on the relationship.
