However, the new song by the barranquillera empowers women and points out that “women no longer cry, women invoice”.
Also a factor to end the relationship is that, after a infidelitythe Colombian woman lose confidence in their partner, so continuing in the relationship seems unsustainable. The shame It is also part of the reasons, today women have preferred to face a divorce rather than forgive infidelity.
