Cheating is what I tag a very bad act of deception, fraud and many more. Of course it does not have to be in a relationship, it can be between friends, even between siblings.
Talking about relationships, cheating is not based on gender, like some people think men cheat more than ladies while some also think it's the other way round. Well for that I don't have an answer but what have seen and from experience I can only say both genders cheat. It all depends on the kind of person you're, some find it very interesting, don't know if you've come across one before, to them they think it's fun. While some on the other hand hates it like it's shit.
I'll sharing my own cheating experience but not about relationship this time.
Some years back I was in Minna Niger state for my one-year national yoitth service, there was a time I needed a laptop for a programming course I wanted to learn back then, so I gathered some money and also with the help of my dad's support, I was able to raise a reasonable amount.
So I contact my friend who lives in Lagos to help me get a good system, he's into buying and selling of phones, laptop and other accessories, the more reason why I thought he's the best person that can help me handle the thing.
So I told him the type laptop I need and he said there's no problem, After selecting from the various samples he sent, I sent him the required amount so I can get the system as soon as possible.
But to my surprise when he sent the laptop I got another thing entirely.
When I received the stuff I was shocked seriously, I had to call him on the spot to confirm if he made mistake or something, but then he said it wasn't a mistake, that he had to send another type of system that was lower to what I ordered because an emergency situation came up, so he used part of my money to settle the issue and so had to buy a low grade system for me since I said I need the laptop urgently.
At this juncture my head was banging already, like I should see him and strangle him, I was like who does that, and even if he needs money emergenly he could have informed me, and I'll see what I can do about it. Now the bad side is I can't even return the laptop to change for another one, he said the seller won't collect it. Meaning I have to use the low grade system like that. It was so painful because I couldn't even use it well for what I intend to use it for. That was how my money was wasted.
The more reason why he did that was because he knew I do not know his place in Lagos, so it will be hard for me to go there and show him some madness.
That was why he cheated on me freely with my money, showed me something else and delivered another thing entirely for me, what I ordered versus what I got.
Although he apologized and even sent people to me to plead on his behalf, of course I was so mad at him at first but later had no choice than to just forgive him. Though I also learnt my lessons not to ever trust people again, because we were so close that I don't even think he could cheat on me like that, but life happens.
