Love is a mystery in my opinion. I know what it is capable of doing. A married woman who travelled alone for the first time after several years of marriage confided in me that while on that short holiday she fell hard for a guy she met in the stores.
She started to act like a teenager all over again. She always giggled foolishly when she was with him and talked late into the night with him depriving herself of the rest she went to get in the first place.
When she told me of how she sat up on the bed in her hotel room one night crying because her holiday lover stood her up the whole day because of his baby mama I almost gave her a hot slap.
She admitted that she was excited about the way she felt because she thought she was too old and unattractive. She even went as far as doing an overhaul of her underwears and she had selected the sexiest pair on the day that he stood her up. That was her wake up call.
After crying for about fifteen minutes, she walked into the bathroom, looked at herself in the mirror and remembered how she called the shots in her own home. Not even her husband had made cry the way she did on that day.
She thought of her children especially her first daughter and how ashamed they would be of her. At that point still looking in the mirror she called out her name three times and said "You are a big fool".
Afterwards, she never picked his calls and till today she is so grateful to God that she was saved from going the whole nine yards with a stranger while on holiday.
She has never tried to travel alone again ever since and the whole experience still scares her.
She confessed that she sometimes rejected her husband's call just because she was on the phone with the strange guy.
Thankfully she's totally over the guy and severed all ties with him but she still claims that what she felt For him then was very deep love.
Me: Deep love my foot. It was deep lust caused by momentary insanity. Thank God it's over now though.
Unfortunately this is the sad reality of most women in marriages. The moment they come in contact with affections contrary from what they get from their spouse, they fall hook line and sinker..... while others only get excited with the thought of actually living out their fantasy.
ReplyDeleteIn all, it takes the grace of God... we need His grace to keep us out of temptation... the more we draw closer to him the better our life is filled with His light.
Oh dear dear
ReplyDeleteThank God she allowed her head and conscience play their role
Thank God he stood her up o. Mmmmm love or lustre. We must be careful. I think the thought of being married is enough to take one away from adultery. We need God more than ever
ReplyDeleteThank God she woke up from her slumber on time. This love thing sef, atimes it appears like a fairy tale and atimes can be so strong and real. Makes one exist in Oblivion far away from reality but the alarm should be set to always wake up on time.
ReplyDeleteDeep love my foot indeed. Married women should behave as such at every given time. Praying without season to avoid occasions of sins, people should have the fear of God because marriage was ordained by Him.
ReplyDeleteReally and the men nko?
