How Long Can You Be Faithful While Your Partner is Away

Relationship is about trust and the ability to stay put and be faithful to one another, but there are circumstances that can threaten or make one to find themselves in a tight corner where keeping to faithfulness and trust becomes a challenge.
Chinedu had been dating Ngozi and after his university, he traveled abroad but not with a Promise of coming back to marry Ngozi. At the airport, while crying, Ngozi pleaded with him not to abandon  her when he gets there. Chinedu in turn pleaded with her to be faithful and keep herself till he comes back.

Two years later, Chinedu came back from abroad and they continued to date. They started plans for their marriage ceremony. They both went to visit the lady that will handle their wedding decoration to discuss with her concerning logistics and every other thing involved in decorating the occasion. On getting there, the husband of the lady saddled with the decoration happens to be around too and he knows the man they 've both met before while Chinedu was applying for Visa. After the discussion, as they were about leaving, Chinedu and the decorator's husband were discussing when he asked if that was the lady he wants to get married to? Yes.. He said. Any problem? Isn't she beautiful? No not that, the man replied just that this same lady at sometime usually visit a friend of mine and sometimes spend weeks with him. Are you sure about this? Chinedu asked. Why would i lie? Its ok no problem Chinedu replied.

Chinedu got home, sat on his couch and was so worried. Ngozi came in and asked what the problem was and he said nothing that he is just imagining their wedding day. Early morning the next day, he woke his fiancee. Did you sleep with anybody since i 've been away? He asked. "No why would i do that"? Please don't lie to me. Then what did you go to do at 15. Chidiaown Street and even spent a week there.

By this time she started crying. Please forgive me it was during the the last one month to your coming back. There was this guy that kept pestering me i tried my best in resisting him but it was not easy two years without anyone to make me feel like a woman. Am a human being the urge was too much for me please forgive me my love. Since then i 've called it off with him. How could you? Chinedu asked you promised me you would be faithful why? Why? Since you did not keep to your words this marriage is canceled.

Ladies, what is your take on this? How long can you be faithful when your partner is not around?
