Is deception enough reason to walk away from your marriage?

Deception, many times, may present itself in numerous ways. In fact, infidelity to me is a form of deception and so, it is not just the fact that a person has slept with another person that hurts so much. It is the deception that accompanied the whole charade as well that contributes to the awful feeling.

However, if the deception does not present itself as unfaithfulness but some other type like lies, is it still enough to walk away? For most people, they believe that infidelity is the only basis for divorce and anything else can be condoned. Yet, in my opinion, trust is like when you crumple a paper tightly and then try to smoothen it out. No matter how hard you try, you cannot get it to be as smooth as it was before. Likewise, marriage is founded on love and trust. You may still love a person but if you lose trust you can’t commit to that person anymore and the process of earning the trust back is tedious. In fact, things you never had to do it in the first place will have to be done, quite painfully to gain that trust back.

Now, as to the issue of whether lies of some sort are enough reason to get divorced, I do not believe there is a specific yardstick for that. Personally, I hate divorce and I believe that forgiveness is always the way to go but I am not the one who has to deal with the pain and shame of being deceived so really, it is up to you. Is the hurt of deception something you are willing to throw all the years and investment away for?

Oruko Amutorunwa (Pre-Destined Names) In Yorubaland

Ibeji (Twins) In Yoruba land, one of the most important things done when a child is born is to give the child a name. This comes after the child’s ritual birth, massage of specific body parts and other rites as well. Names are given to the child by the father, mother, grandparents (paternal and maternal) and some close relatives also. But sometimes, the circumstance of a child’s birth will automatically give the child a name. This name is known as ‘orúko àmútọ̀runwá’ (pre-destined or generic name) in Yorubaland. The most common generic names (orúko àmútọ̀runwá) in Yoruba land are ‘Taiwo‘ and ‘Kehinde‘ (altogether known as Ìbejì) which are given to twins. The first born of the twins is called Táíwò, a shortened form of Tò-aiyé-wò (taste the world) while the last born of the t...

John XII: The Pope who turned the Vatican to a Whorehouse

Octavianus was only 18 years old when he ascended the Papacy of the Roman Catholic Church and became Pope John XII on December 16, 955. He was the only son of Duke Alberic II (932–954) of Spoleto, then ruler of Rome. Alberic, before his death in 954, made Roman nobles swear at St. Peter's altar that they would make his son, Octavianus, pope at the first vacancy. Since the leaders loved the dying father, they kept their word to him and elected Octavianus as the 130th Roman Catholic Pope succeeding Pope Agapetus II after the pope’s death on November 8, 955. Octavianus adopted the apostolic name of John XII. He was the third pontiff to take a regnal name upon elevation to the papal chair; the first being Pope John II (533–535), whose birth name was Mercurius and the second, Pope John III (561–574), whose birth name was Catelinus. Right from the start, in relation to secular issues, the new pope issued his directives under the name of Octavianus, while in all matters relating t...
