Home wreckers: ‘Let the ships that have sailed, go on with it.’

Sally was a girl determined to get everything she wanted in life. And she pretty much did most of the time. That was until she met David. He was married and very much into his family. But that didn’t stop her from pursuing him. She was onto him like a cat on a rat! Being the weak chap like many others, he gave in to temptation and began an affair with her. But you see the thing is David, thought it was just an affair and that it would go down quietly but he had no idea who he was dealing with! She demanded more time with him and even started calling his home line. One day she sent the wife an anonymous text message saying she was David’s mistress and that she was even carrying his kid so she wasn’t about to give up on him. His wife was devastated and decided to confront him about it. Naturally he lied but he was never really good at it. One false word gave him away and if there was something his wife could absolutely not stand, it was lies and infidelity. So she threw him out of his own home without so much as a goodbye kiss from his lovely daughter. Every attempt to tell her it was a mistake and that it would never happen again fell on deaf ears. The interesting part is that he actually went to stay with the same girl who brought his world crumbling down. I don’t know if it was having nowhere else to go or just plain stupidity! Just like Sally, there are lots of women out there kicking it with men they have no business kicking it with. Why in the world would anyone want to lower themselves to that level? Of all the single men roaming this planet why go in for a man who already has his shoes polished for him? I understand that some of these men lie just to get women but when and if you do find out that the he is married, run for your life and never look back. It is no fun being the home wrecker. Even if you do get the man of which I can assure you is as rare as water in the desert, you’ll always be the one who broke up a home. For Pete’s sake, let the ships that have sailed, go on with it. And if these men are the ones who are out looking for extramarital affairs, do not be a part of it. You’ll have so much more to lose than you think when things eventually blow off—I can guarantee you, they always do. Sisters don’t sell yourselves short that way. There is someone out there for us all and even though he may not come as soon as we’d like him to, don’t go poaching on another’s. It’s not cool people. It never has been and it never will be. As for you my brothers, watch out for the crazy ones. I’d like to think that you learned a thing or two from the movie Fatal Attraction. Heaven knows how wicked some women can be. You don’t want to get back home and find out that some deranged babe cooked your daughter’s pet because you made certain promises that you very well never intended to keep. What goes around comes around. Karma does tend to get around and eventually it will catch up with you. For instance, if a man can cheat on his own wife, what makes you think he won’t cheat on you? Be honest with yourself and know that some things are simply not worth it. Life is way too short. Live it the best way you can without compromising yourself or anyone else for that matter. rachelgaruka@yahoo.co.uk
