Guiding Territories

October 04, 2017

I understand that when a man cheats it is not always about the fact that his partner is doing something wrong. It is about the fact that it is in his nature to cheat, he has assumed society story that it is a man’s world and he is entitled to more than one woman.

My girl is just 2 years 6months but there are times I have had apologised to her for judging her wrongly and I have scolded myself for being tough on her, other times I think I love her so sweetly that am scared she may get spoilt but I am quick to tell mysel

I am still awe at the manner people hide under the cover of culture and religion. It is wrong to cheat and still pretend to be someone full of values. The societies do not believe it is appropriate to castigate one who is wrong if he holds a certain title in his neighbourhood or somewhat a respected individual as he is viewed. This married man got a single lady pregnant, while the folks of the lady discovered she was pregnant, she was interrogated and it was later revealed that this man was responsible. The family of the lady made sure he got a house for the lady and took responsibilities of the other bills. After some months the lady put to bed and on the 8th day of the child’s birth, he killed a ram to perform the rituals of her naming. However, this man has been in a marriage where his wife has been unable to conceive, efforts made that he should marry this lady as second wife as it is tradition and religion to him proved abortive. He made several excuses of how he doesn’
