He said:

"I say this: cheating should not be forgiven. You will thank me later, 100 years from now, when I have a statue at Klipspruit, you’ll walk by that statue and look at it, and say Somizi was right.

"Cheating shouldn’t be forgiven, I don’t care how remorseful you are, because I don’t believe in the Gods of my homosexual blood that cheating is a mistake. Cheating is premeditated. If someone is remorseful, can they be a better person for the next person, but they’ve missed that boat with me."

"My man forgave me for cheating, but I don't think I'll be able to forgive him if he cheats."

"You'll walk away until thy kingdom come. Sometimes you forgive your person, it depends on how you solve your problems, or just leave and not date again."

Lethabol306 replied:

"Cheating breaks trust. Once someone cheats, the bond of loyalty and love that once held the relationship together is shattered. It’s not only a betrayal of a partner but also a sin before God, because it goes against the covenant of faithfulness that love and relationships are built on. It destroys not only relationships but also the soul of the person who does it."
