You should be more focused on helping a cheating partner – Actor Etim Effiong
admin
Actor Daniel Etim Effiong has said that people dealing with infidelity in marriage should be approached with empathy and support rather than immediate condemnation, describing cheating as a problem that requires help and healing.
The actor made the remarks during a conversation on Diary of a Naija girl podcast where he spoke about how couples and society should handle marital issues and personal mistakes.
“I think the approach should be, if someone messes up in a marriage, it should first come from a
place of, ‘How can I help you?’
According to him, the focus should be on helping the person address the underlying issue before
discussions about healing can begin.
No, this is a problem, how can I help you out of this problem? To deal with it, you have to come
out of this problem. It’s a problem before we can start talking about healing”.
The actor further compared cheating to other forms of wrongdoing, noting that it should be
viewed in the same light as behaviours such as lying and stealing.
“Cheating is like other things like lying and stealing”.
