Beware of the desperate

Feb 06, 2008

HARRY'S wife resumed her affair with an old lover (boyfriend technically but he is older than me) and confessed this to her husband. She told him she can never leave the boyfriend. Because the hubby had no plans of leaving his wife, the two are about to replay the Kikuyu-Jaluo wargames.

Why should a woman throw out her marriage, husband and children for a love of long ago, who is moreover married?

Before I answer, let me stress to the female sex, that I am wrong if you think so and sorry that I am wrong if you feel offended by this analysis.

But I know that you often ignore the book prescription of marriage for love to hitch because of time, pressure and accidents.

You marry when your heart is elsewhere and a few billion seconds down the road, you stop caring whether the marriage expires or not.

That is why you can face your husband and say: “I love him; do what you want!”

Many life situations make women so desperate that they end up marrying any man who happens to be at the end of their fishing rod. They do not necessarily love the victims on the hook but, like Man U, they have to score in injury time to get at least a point from Tottenham.

The grinning groom assumes the partner in the veil is happy to be with him, while the bride is wishing it was someone else.

Later when marriage challenges, which require love to handle, show face, walls crumble at midnight.You don’t want this to happen to you.

You want to be loved, don’t you? Telling a lover from a grabber may be difficult from far but it is far from difficult.

There are at least ten categories of desperate women lurking at the next ambush. When you date one, employ kits of confirmatory tests on her love for you before you can be sure.

All set, no race
These women are through school, have a job, and an independent place of abode. But the guys who show interest are allergic to responsibility. You flirt with them and the next SMS you get will invite you home. Boy, you are walking into a snare.

Praise the Lord
To some girls, getting saved provides a safe haven for desperate souls and an explanation to the world on why they are not dating. Give her a wink and she will follow up on it.

In limbo
Women, who drop out of relationships after 25 years of age and take more than two years in limbo, are another snare.Scratch her back and you will get a wife but that may not be a love vote.

Condom-shy
Condoms have been part of your life but of late, she has started complaining about allergies to latex rubber.

She is telling you about this doctor who is proposing that you change your contraceptive method. Sniff the air my friend, you are being dressed into a fatherhood cloak. But it may have nothing to do with love.

Havoc vendors
Those who are always the source of trouble and rumours that destabilise other relationships.

They know who is side-grazing with who, which couple is not fit for each other. Watch out too; they are husband grabbers. And may not be love.

The self conscious
They tell friends that every guy who smiles at them or gives a helping hand wants them. In most of their stories, they play the victim of constant male sexual advances. They want to prove that they are on market in case you think they are dwelling on the shelves for too long. But they are willing to jump into marriage with any man because they know that time has ran out.

Marriage haters
Officially, they have reserved evil names to call marriage. They have a rich database of friends who have failed and those whose marriages are on the rocks. They throw eggs at the institution because they want to explain their status, but may still surprise you with a wedding invitation.

The bashed
Some women are unfortunate to live with parents till the 30s and endure questions of where is the guy and when, insinuations of time running out and parental concern over commodities that cannot be sold. Pressure compels them to drop the ten-point criteria of Mr Right and may just follow anyone who can provide electricity.

The annoyed
Those whose faces are frowning now and are calling me chauvinist because of this article are another category. Why should you care when I am exposing others; you only scratch an itching spot.
