Dear Gwendolyn: I have been married for ten years and we have eight children. I love my husband and don’t want to lose him. Last summer my siblings and I sold some family property left to us by our grandparents. With my portion of the funds, I purchased a brand new shiny red convertible for my husband. Now, people are calling me a fool because he is being seen riding other women.
Gwendolyn, what people don’t know is that I purchased the car with the thought if I can keep my husband busy, then he won’t think of leaving me. After all, he didn’t want a van so that we could all ride. I had no choice except to please him. I have eight children and no one else will want me.
Jeanette
Dear Jeantte:
Be proud of being a mother of eight. As for allowing him the privilege of riding women and not you is bad – really bad. There is a thing of having low self-esteem, but you tops them all. With the purchase of a van the children can be taken to school and to their school activities. You need to be saving money for their education. Knowledge is the key to success.
I strongly suggest you return the car and purchase a van. Let me tell you this: When that bright shiny red convertible gets old, in need of repairs, flat tires – he will leave. Take back your car and let your husband ride his women by whatever means necessary — on a donkey if need be. (Copyright © 2011 by Gwendolyn L. Baines)
