The Stigma of Cheating in 2018

It's not okay just because Beyonce took him back.

In today’s society, unfaithfulness makes the headlines almost as much as murder. There’s a stigma around cheating on your “bae” that is just completely mind-blowing to me. There are three famous celebrity women that stand out the most for being notorious for staying with their equally as famous husbands/boyfriends/fiancees: Cardi B, Beyonce, and Khloe Kardashian.

These three women are commended constantly for their empowering music, workout routines, ways of life, and sticking up for what they believe in. They are “icons” and looked up to by so many young people.

So I wonder, why do they allow their men to come back after cheating on them? Don’t they have enough pride to realize that there are other men who would die to be with them? Since when is cheating okay? It’s like handing these men golden tickets to do whatever the hell they want. I for one, am not only angered by this but I am also terrified.

One of the most iconic couples in Hollywood, Jay-Z and Beyonce, are victims of acting unfaithful and allowing their relationship to continue on even after the allegations were revealed. Jay-Z cheated on BEYONCE. Can we just talk about that for a second? This man is clinically insane, let alone unfaithful. C'mon dude.


A young generation full of minds that are still developing is at complete risk for creating “serial cheaters.” Yeah, that’s right. SERIAL. CHEATERS. Whoever thought that would have to be a thing? It’s terrifying. It’s like any guy can make excuses as to why he was being sneaky or messing with someone else and it makes it go away.

I mean, I’m not saying there aren’t instances in which it can be amended and a relationship can “go back” to normal but trust is the most important thing that holds a relationship together. Once that is broken it’s never really the same.


What I want to know is why these women don’t feel like they can leave these men who do them wrong? THERE ARE BILLIONS OF PEOPLE IN THIS WORLD. He’s not the only one. If he doesn’t cherish and love you with everything he has then why be with him? You deserve better.

We look up to these women and idolize them. But at the end of the day do they idolize themselves? Now, don’t get me wrong, it’s not like heartbreak is easy and leaving your men is a piece of cake. But you have to believe in yourself and put yourself first. Grow a pair and LEAVE. THAT. BOY. Not “man." boy.

The thing that saddens me the most is how generations of women now worry about cheating as if it is bound to happen. Trust issues are becoming the kryptonite within budding new relationships when there isn't even a reason to believe any unfaithfulness is occurring. It's just like...expected.

Something needs to change before it's too late.


Tristan Thompson, Jay-Z, and Offset all need a damn reality check because if you can cheat on Khloe K, Beyonce, and Cardi B you're just damn crazy. Just goes to show that all the fame, fortune, and good looks can only get you so far.

Point is, ladies, remember to have respect for yourself and not fall victim to making cheating okay. It’s never been okay and it never will be. It’s not only a bad look on your part, it’s toxic for the continuation of a relationship and you just don’t need that stress in your life, okay?

Leaving him is never easy but if he’s a cheater, he doesn't love you like he says he does. Be gone. He’ll feel a pain 1493347934x worse seeing you doing you to the fullest extent without him on your arm and that’s the best revenge.

Get your gal pals, take a vacation, go to a spa, get your gym on, make memories, and remember that leaving him won’t only help you in the long run, but strong women inspire strong women to do the same.

*Disclaimer: I know that not all relationships are the same and that different circumstances affect different decisions but at the end of the day, cheating is cheating. Don’t make it the norm.*

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
