However, the situation reportedly took an unexpected turn when the man broke up with his girlfriend and approached her with the intention of starting a proper relationship.
The woman expressed disbelief at his expectation, questioning why he assumed she would leave her boyfriend for him despite knowing that their relationship began through cheating.
She also made it clear that she had no intention of ending her existing relationship.
Lady questions man’s expectations
Recounting the situation, the Nigerian lady said the man’s decision to leave his girlfriend did not mean she would do the same with her boyfriend.
She asked, “What gave you the impression that I would date a cheater?”
The lady further questioned the man’s assumption about her relationship, saying, “And who told you I want to break up with my man? I love him.”
Her comments highlight the complicated situation created when two people who are already committed to other partners become romantically involved with each other.

The lady’s revelation has generated discussion about infidelity, trust and the expectations people have when relationships begin under questionable circumstances.
Her response has particularly drawn attention to the irony of rejecting someone for cheating while acknowledging that she had also been unfaithful to her own partner.
The incident has left social media users debating whether the man should have expected their affair to develop into a committed relationship and whether either party could reasonably expect trust after beginning their connection through infidelity.
