Just got this letter via email from a single
lady whose identity I will keep private…:-) But read below, it’s quite
interesting
Dear Married Woman,
These couple of days I have read messages on Instagram, Twitter, Facebook and
the likes and as much as I have tried to bridle my tongue and not say anything;
just let it slide, my emotion has chosen to betray me.
So today I stand in defence of all unjustly stigmatised
Single ladies. To you married woman who has taken to the social media to air
her grievances, please re-direct your energy into bridling your erring husband.
More than half of the time, these men are the ones who
pursue single girls unrelentingly, luring them with the worldly goodies the
Good Lord has bequeathed on them. And let me let you know what you’d never hear
from your husband, they speak ill of you. Half the time, the reason they are
still with you is because of our own conscious effort not to break another
girl’s home as we look forward to having ours.
I would share with you my most recent experience. I was
introduced to a visually-impaired man who promised to help me secure a job.
Before I met him, this man had already overwhelmed me with calls and messages.
The only reason I chose to keep my pre-arranged meeting with him was because my
sister had been trying extra hard to help me secure a job. So as not to seem
“picky” and unwilling to work, I met with him. He told me outrightly that aside
from him being married, blind and a Christian what else would stop me from
dating him. So I asked if those reasons he gave were not genuine enough. He
said they were not. That except if I could come up with something else, then I
had no reason but to go out with him.
His calls and messages became incessant after then. I met
with him twice after then, out of pity and I tell you he was a little
aggressive too. Then his wife stumbled on his messages. I wished I had kept her
messages to me. When they first started coming in, I spoke with the husband
about them, he dismissed my worries with a laugh. When I could not take them
anymore, I called her up. I told her the deal I had with her husband and I
assured that she had nothing to worry about. That I swear on the good things
that are to come my way that I was not there to break her home.
I knew it was time to give up whatever prospect of securing
a job that laid on that path. I do not think I have met anyone as persistent as
this man. He would call me unendingly. He told me he had solved his wife’s
financial problems and was that not why she married him in the first place. And
there I was, I had not even asked him for as much as a phone top-up since we
met. He kept reeling out what he had done for her.
