Charlotte Oduro, a renowned Ghanaian marriage counselor, has offered excellent advice to women dealing with spouses participating in extramarital affairs, asking them to seek treatment rather than turning to vengeance.
According to her, when faced with such difficulties in a marriage, it is preferable for a woman to contemplate leaving rather than succumbing to the temptation of infidelity as a form of retaliation.
She stressed that women who choose to cheat in response to their husband’s infidelity are likely to face serious consequences that can ruin their life.
“I want women to understand that resorting to infidelity won’t resolve their issues. Don’t allow your anger to lead you to ruin your future. If you find it unbearable to cope with your husband’s infidelity, seek counselling or consider ending the marriage. Don’t respond to wrongdoing with more wrongdoing,”
She recommended in an interview with Oyerepa FM.
Counselor Charlotte criticized society’s acceptance of men’s infidelity, while condemning women who do the same out of grief.
“Many women are reacting to men’s infidelity out of hurt, but this shouldn’t be the case. They’ve noticed that society often overlooks men’s affairs but condemns women’s, so they feel compelled to retaliate,” she added.
