The Other Woman

Posted in Uncategorized tagged at 12:44 am by prettymoonlit

I used to be so afraid of so many things. But I’m not getting younger, and with age comes confidence and courage. It makes you think you can do anything. I used to cringe at the thought of hospitals, but now, I think I can manage giving birth.. In the hospital. I used to say no to hard drinks, but I can take them now. I never in my wildest dreams thought I would drive, but now I am. I used to fear falling in love. As in super fall. But not anymore.

In this part of my life and age, there is only one definite thing that I really think I can never do.

Being the other woman.

Being a third party, signifies that a man doesn’t love you.

Love if you must. But know that loving someone does not guarantee being loved back. Be able to tell the difference between reality and imagination. Understand that there is a difference between a man who loves you and a man who simply wants to string you along. A man who loves you will pursue you no matter what. He will make his intentions known. He will declare NOT deny his affections for you.

He never allow you to be in a situation that will compromise your values as a person.

A man, on the other hand, who cannot make room in his life for you today will no doubt be unable to make room in his life for you one day. So let him go. If he loves you, he won’t let you get away. One cannot love for two. You cannot love for the both of you. Let him go if he cannot choose you.

And then remember that you are hurting another woman. Do not do unto others what you do not want them to do unto you. So love if you must. But not at the expense of someone else.
