“I have forgiven cheating before. I have been there. I have spoken about it as well. It was a very serious heartbreak. I was heartbroken for like two years. I was depressed,” he said.
Obinna explained that his experience was not about the options that were available to him at the time.
“That is why I am telling you love is different. Bro, you will have a gazillion women chasing you, but utakua tu na huyu,” he said, emphasising that true love is about a deep connection with one person, regardless of other opportunities. He said this unique bond makes heartbreak particularly difficult when trust is broken.
He also reflected on the nature of cheating and why it happens. According to Obinna, women cheat for different reasons, and it is often emotionally driven.
“Women cheat for different reasons. When they cheat, it is emotionally invested, so when a woman cheats on you, alikaa chini akakuangalia, aka fall in love (with someone else), akaanza ku entertain the idea. It is something planned,” he explained.
He added that understanding the emotional aspect of infidelity helped him process his own experience and eventually find forgiveness.
Lessons from heartbreak
Oga Obinna said that while the experience was extremely painful, it taught him important lessons about love and human behaviour. He said that love cannot always be explained or rationalised.
Even when someone is cheated on, the emotions involved are complex, and the decision to forgive is deeply personal. He said that understanding the reasons behind cheating and recognising that it is often a planned emotional shift can help people process the pain.
Obinna noted that forgiving someone does not mean forgetting the hurt, but rather learning to accept what happened and move forward. He stressed that love is unique for every individual, and heartbreak is part of the journey.
“But then ukitoka kwa hiyo love uko zile za like, surely, ni nini nilikua nimeona kwa huyu mtu. That is why you can’t explain love,” he said.
