Zendaya has the best advice on how to know if your partner is cheating on you
It’s crazy how often people cheat. And even if you’re a celebrity, you’re not immune to the awful heartbreak that follows. Actress Zendaya gave advice about cheating during a recent Q&A she had with fans, and as it turns out, she was cheated on in a relationship in the past.
Fan Rosalind Parker asked for some advice on the topic. “I highly doubt this because you’re absolutely perfect but men are dogs so imma ask anyway,” she wrote. “Have you ever been cheated on? Do you have wise words to go by that helps you make decisions in your relationships?”
Zendaya answered the question in a video that’s featured on her website.
First off, yes — she’s been a victim of cheating. But even though she gets the pain, she wanted to reiterate that not all men are dogs. In fact, her advice was a little more positive.
"You can't categorize an entire type of person because of something that happened to you once," she said. "But I would say, follow your gut. If you feel it, it’s probably happening. If you feel like you can’t trust somebody, or you feel whatever, then you shouldn’t be in a relationship with them."
That’s such an incredible statement— and it’s also true. As humans, we have a pretty good instinct as to whether or not we’re in a bad situation, or with a person who doesn’t give us enough respect.
Zendaya also made sure to note that you can never really change someone, and believed that sometimes waiting to date works a little bit better — since younger people are constantly learning and growing.
"When people are young, they make bad decisions sometimes because they don’t know any better," she said. "It doesn’t mean they don’t know the difference between right and wrong -- it just means that they’re still in the experimental phase in their life where they haven’t made the right decisions yet. That’s something I learned, is that it’s very hard to be in a relationship when the both of you are still figuring out life."
We might ask Zendaya to give us advice about everything, since she’s totally on point.
