Power is now on Netflix so I have to rewatch it for the 200th time to really understand why Ghost threw away his loving family for an high school ex girlfriend from 18 years ago.
You know the problem with staying with someone who is cheating on you is that your life can slowly start deteriorating without you even realising it.
You may develop anxiety that eventually leads to depression. You may lose your confidence and self-esteem, start doubting yourself and questioning your own worth. Before you know it, you're living like a detective in your own relationship, constantly looking for clues, questioning everything and overthinking even the smallest things. You lose your peace of mind because the trust is no longer there.
And the sad part is that even if you choose to forgive, it doesn't mean you'll forget. You may find yourself constantly fighting battles in your mind because of something someone else chose to do to you. That kind of emotional distress can affect your mental health, your work, your relationships with other people and so many other areas of your life.
The betrayal itself is painful, but sometimes the psychological toll of staying is even worse. You may end up losing yourself while trying to save a relationship you didn't break.
So yes, I would leave. Not because forgiveness is impossible, but because I refuse to subject myself to a life of anxiety, suspicion and emotional instability just to keep a relationship. My peace of mind and mental health are far too important to sacrifice for someone else's inability to be faithful.
I’m old enough to remember when you weren’t allowed to use your phone inside a bank. Now people play their videos on loudspeaker. Every time I go outside I understand why old people are all so angry.
The day after elections needs to be a public holiday so we can fight properly. Sending emails & being in meetings while realising that you guys voted for racists is bothering me so bad.
Fully agree, and I'll own it. I'm very much an ANC beneficiary.
BEE made it possible for the state to pay for my studies. After I qualified, it opened the door to a managerial role. I am where I am today because of policies the ANC put in place.
But make no mistake, that will not make me loyal to a party that today does not put South Africans first. Gratitude for what was done yesterday doesn't excuse what's being done today.
The best way to honour what we were given is to hold the people in power to the same standard that got us here. That's why I'm voting with my head, not my history.
@svukeve Guys the IEC gives us an opportunity to check and confirm our details are correct ahead of time. Why didn't she do this? Now she blames the system without even taking a hint of responsibility for making sure her details as captured by the IEC are correct.
Elections are ‘do or die’ for me. People lost their lives fighting for me to be able to vote today. I can’t sit back while their blood is on the soil I walk on today. I have the right to choose, and that for me is such a privilege I can’t look past. I’m forever grateful.
