To most people, getting cheated on in your relationship is a dealbreaker.
But that doesn’t seem to be the case for Mediacorp actress Hong Ling.
In a recent interview with Chinese media zaobao.sg, the 30-year-old, who stars in new Mediacorp drama Unforgivable, shared about why her thoughts on infidelity changed since tying the knot with Mediacorp actor Nick Teo, 35.
The couple met on the set of long-form drama 118 and dated for eight years before getting married last year in December.
Whe asked what she deems as an ‘unforgivable mistake’ by a partner, she replied: “Before getting married, I felt if my partner cheated on me, I wouldn’t be able to forgive him because that would be my limit.”
“But after getting married, if [Nick] really cheated on me one day, I would try to forgive him, though I know it would be a very difficult thing to do,” she added.
Why the change of heart though?
“When we got married, we exchanged vows and said we would walk down this road together no matter what happens. I feel that that’s my promise towards him,” explained Hong Ling.
She then said it wouldn’t be fair to end things with her husband just for that reason given how much he dotes on her.
“I can’t deny that he’s done a lot for me out of love, so if one day he cheats, am I supposed to just give him the ‘death sentence’ because he made one mistake?” she said.
Just to be clear though, Nick, this is not a green light for you to cheat, okay?
