Dear Lilea's Blog,
I just discovered your blog and got hooked. Please keep up the good work. I live in a house with a block of four flats and life is quite interesting in our compound.
We are all young married couples and sometimes it's quite competitive among us. The ladies try to outdo each other in fashion and there's always this silent competition over whose child is doing better in school.
We are all close but in my wisdom I know we all don't like each other that much. The husbands are cool and some weekends when they all hang out together we gather in one of the flats and discuss everything including our marriages.
I often see each of us trying so hard to prove that one enjoys a better marriage than the rest.
The other ladies work, I'm the only full time house wife among us and I know things that they do not know. Im also close to all the men. I grew up in a family of all boys where I'm the only girl and so have my way with the guys.
They often find that they can confide in me and tell me things that they dare not tell their wives.
On a certain day Ada, one of the ladies was boasting to us that her husband can never cheat on her and I was tempted to tell her some home truth to burst her bubble.
Not only has her husband cheated on her, he slept with my children's nanny and got her pregnant. I forced the truth out of the nanny and confronted Ada's husband who admitted to the act.
We both kept it away from everyone and after successfully aborting the pregnancy, I sent the nanny away.
I live with the guilt of the crime of abortion daily and watching this silly lady act everyday like her marriage is perfect is quite annoying.
Spilling the beans may give me some respite from the guilt I feel and bring Ada down from her high horse.
What do you think?
Regards,
Oly

ReplyDeleteI think u should go to confession and learn to forgive Urself
ReplyDeleteYou better go to confession, telling her with rack more damage, more than the earlier one you done to your self, your nanny and her too. It's always good to handle issues with openness at the beginning than trying to manage it later. The pain is more grave that earlier. Keep it to yourself after all you are not a better person but only Christ can make us better persons.
ReplyDeleteYou don't even have to boast about the abortion. You killed a sacred life in as much as you 're a cohort. Sincerely ask God for mercy for your own sins. Live your own life and be contented with yourself. As for your neighbour, leave her 5o live in fool's paradise. For all you care, she might know the hubby's weakness but May be pretending. The news shouldn't come from you. Before you know it another bubble will burst and you will have the last laugh ( that's if you care anyway...). The bottom line is 'be in competition with no one'. Ain't worth it at all.

ReplyDeleteNa wa oo. What concerns you with how she sees her hubby? A beg... go comot the sin that you have committed. I hope you are not sleeping with the man as well for you to go ahead and support abortion and then, keep the secret for him. Search your heart very well. Amibo..
ReplyDeleteTwo wrongs can never make a right. The writer bared everything and asked for our advice. And I read the response and wonder what has got us to this level. The writer is abused, castigated, accused and called names. If we do not correct our brethren with love, we should not expect any positive changes from them neither do we expect anything better towards us. We are all sinners
ReplyDeleteA righteous man sins 77times in a day! Who is a saint. Search yourself and know if you a lot, you are not calling another, a kettle. Love one another as Christ has loved us.
