My post earlier this week “When Are We Going to Realize That Marriage is Not For Everyone” had a lot of people commenting, emailing, and buzzing about what I had to say in the piece. One of the main things brought to me was the idea of “cheating“. Ohhh yes! CHEATING, The kiss of death in many relationships. Though I will be writing a future post on it I came across a funny yet interesting post over at Minus Bars site. It talks about how your girl can understand you cheating by making you peach cobbler??? Check it out…

A few months ago, myself and blogger The Mocha Peach engaged in a humorous discussion on Twitter concerning the telltale signs of cheating. The different ways that one could perhaps tell if their significant other had stepped outside of the relationship.
We discussed how cheaters acted and dressed differently, and the subsequent ways in which their math never added up, correctly. We reasoned that adamant denial was in no ways an escape from the truth. In fact, it’s straight up comedy staring in the eyes of someone who you know is lying.
I recalled an instance where an ex-girlfriend had subjected me to a “cheating test”, unto my knowledge. She suspected that I had placed my iron into the fire of another woman, and wanted to assure herself that her heated temperature wasn’t a simple matter of the stove in the kitchen.

Dessert. Everyone loves homemade dessert, especially men. Show me a man who doesn’t love the sweet course eaten at the end of a meal, and I will show you a man who has no idea what he’s missing.
A woman prepares and serves her man’s favorite dessert. She places the dish on the table in front of him and hands him a spoon. After pouring a glass of cold milk, she sets the glass next to the dish. Finally, she kisses her man on the cheek and tells him to enjoy. He thanks her, takes the anticipated first bite in her sight and replies to how great the dessert tastes.
Now, here is wh
ere the test begins:
If the man takes his time and enjoys the dessert, slowly washing each bite with milk, he isn’t cheating. Trust me. In fact, he isn’t thinking about another woman. His sweet tooth is completely happy with the good stuff at home. He is her man, and isn’t going anywhere.
If the man eats only half the dessert, then claims he will finish the rest later, don’t sweat it. Something is weighing heavily on his mind. Give him some breathing space. And don’t bother preparing anymore desserts in the near future. He will ask for some of your dessert when he’s good and ready.
The day after being accused of cheating I stopped by my girlfriend cousin’s apartment to see if she held any clues towards Tracy’s startling accusation.
Knowing Stephanie as I did, I knew she’d never volunteer information or go against Tracy in any matters. But I could talk to Stephanie which, hopefully, would lead to Stephanie talking some sense into her cousin. Sleeping on the couch the entire night just wasn’t me.
“Me and Tracy argued last night. She claims I’m cheating.” I revealed, soon as Stephanie opened the door.
“What happened?” she asked, slowly closing the door behind me.
“I have no idea. She just flipped out and started screaming and throwing peach cobbler at me.”.
“Oh,” she replied, rather nonchalantly. ”She gave you The Peach Cobbler Test.”
I paused. “The Peach Cobbler Test?”
After Stephanie gave a detailed explanation of the test, and all it entailed, I reached for my car keys and headed towards the door. “Y’all women are crazy.” I laughed, adding that I had never heard anything more ridiculous in my entire life.
Stephanie walked behind me – arms folded, a slight smirk drawn across her face. Her eyes probed mines, as if sending a message to my brain. DNA has nothing on The Peach Cobbler Test, it suggested.
She stood in the doorway and studied my body language as I unlocked the car door, slid into the driver’s seat and drove away. ”The Peach Cobbler Test,” I repeated, braking at the stop sign. “Tracy has lost her mind.”
That’s when I actually thought about the test and the answers and everything that happened last night, and all I could say to myself was, ”Damn.”
Tracy had me.

The one question I do have is what if you don’t like peach cobbler or really don’t do desserts? How she gonna get me then/…lol
Ha Ha. This was a bit amusing to me. I personally don’t conduct ‘test’ I would much rather be straight forward with a person that I’m expecting to be honest with me. I find it to be a tad bit hypocritical to expect something that I’m unwilling to give. It could just be me, I am a “fire” sign, but I try to live by expecting what I give and not by what I want in return without giving anything at all.
Ok, first reaction – this is silly. No offense men, but I don’t think you have to work that hard to determine if a man is cheating. Usually men get sloppy and do something really dumb to reveal that they’ve been doing wrong. At least that’s been my experience.
HOWEVER, when I think about it a little more, there might be something to do this. I remember I once invited a boyfriend over, did the whole rose petals, candles, incense, lingerie thing and he barely noticed then left shortly afterward claiming he had to get up early the next day. He’d NEVER pulled that move before. That night I blew up his phone on purpose (childish yes…c’mon I was 23) and shortly after a woman answered claiming to be his girlfriend too. BUSTED.
Looking back on the whole thing, making a damn pie would’ve taken a lot less effort to detect whether he was cheating or not. LOL I suspect he would not have stayed and savored the pie.

My thoughts? If a woman has to give her man the ‘peach cobbler’s test in the first place, their relationship is doomed. Communication is so important.
This was entertaining to read, anyway!
I think the real way to know if this test works would be to conduct it if you already knew the guy was cheating, that would really tell you. But I love this test, all my friends have theories that every man cheats so next time I am absolutely trying it, why not, right?

Awesome. Thanks, bro. Honored that you & your readers enjoyed the read.
The great images you’ve included brought even more flava to the post.
The second one actually forced me to stop and reflect upon all the hard work that some women place into their relationships, only to be taken for granted in the end.
Of course cheating goes both ways … perhaps slight guilt being shown towards the woman (mentioned in blog post) on my behalf.
Yo!! This some funny ass ironic shit! I gotta watch chicks when they make me Peach Cobbler
This is funny! Great post, fam. Last month, my wife gave me some peach cobbler. You got me wondering if I ate it right? LMAO!!!!
