single lady whose identity I will keep

Dear Married Woman,
These couple of days I have read messages
on Instagram, Twitter, Facebook and the
likes and as much as I have tried to bridle
my tongue and not say anything; just let it
slide, my emotion has chosen to betray
me.
So today I stand in defence of all unjustly
stigmatised Single ladies. To you married
woman who has taken to the social media
to air her grievances, please re-direct your
energy into bridling your erring husband.
More than half of the time, these men are the
ones who pursue single girls unrelentingly,
luring them with the worldly goodies the Good
Lord has bequeathed on them. And let me let
you know what you’d never hear from your
husband, they speak ill of you. Half the time,
the reason they are still with you is because of
our own conscious effort not to break another
girl’s home as we look forward to having ours.
I would share with you my most recent
experience. I was introduced to a visually-
impaired man who promised to help me secure
a job. Before I met him, this man had already
overwhelmed me with calls and messages. The
only reason I chose to keep my pre-arranged
meeting with him was because my sister had
been trying extra hard to help me secure a job.
So as not to seem “picky” and unwilling to
work, I met with him. He told me outrightly
that aside from him being married, blind and a
Christian what else would stop me from dating
him. So I asked if those reasons he gave were
not genuine enough. He said they were not.
That except if I could come up with something
else, then I had no reason but to go out with
him.
His calls and messages became incessant after
then. I met with him twice after then, out of
pity and I tell you he was a little aggressive
too. Then his wife stumbled on his messages. I
wished I had kept her messages to me. When
they first started coming in, I spoke with the
husband about them, he dismissed my worries
with a laugh. When I could not take them
anymore, I called her up. I told her the deal I
had with her husband and I assured that she
had nothing to worry about. That I swear on
the good things that are to come my way that I
was not there to break her home.
I knew it was time to give up whatever prospect
of securing a job that laid on that path. I do not
think I have met anyone as persistent as this
man. He would call me unendingly. He told me
he had solved his wife’s financial problems and
was that not why she married him in the first
place. And there I was, I had not even asked
him for as much as a phone top-up since we
met. He kept reeling out what he had done for
her.
Anyway when I could not stick the drama
again, I stopped picking his calls. After a while
he stopped calling too. Then out of the blues,
about three months later, I got a message from
the wife cursing me for trying to break her
home yet again. It was the Holy Month for me
and I just woke up to take my suhoor. It took
all the will in me not to respond. But after that
period, I forwarded the message to her husband
and of course I got no response.
Some couple of months later I received another
message from her; filled with curses on me and
my family members. I had stopped speaking to
the husband for about six months then and
here she was accusing me of what I did not
know about. I made up my mind I had had
enough. So I sent her a “back-to-sender”
message. And I threatened to snatch her
husband if this continued. Ironically, I received
a message from her husband stating “I heard
you are reconsidering your position. Am I
getting a Yes now?”… Can you imagine?
This is just one of the many I have experienced
as it is fairly recent. I assure you, Dear Married
woman that I get to hear all about your whims,
your shortcomings and why he even chose to
marry you. Rather than coming to Twitter,
Instagram and the likes to rant, focus your
energy on distracting your husband’s attention
from the single lady that you see as a threat.
Learn from Hilary Clinton. Buy her book “Hard
Choices” and learn. Half the time, the real
threat is your husband. Get your husband off
my back, get a rein and bridle him. I am not the
reason his eyes have chosen to rove. I look
good for the available single guy. I have got a
brand to market, my singleness. Look for yours.
I am faithful to CocaCola not even the
allurement held by a chilled bottle of Pepsi
would make me go near it because it is
“inferior” in taste as far as I am concerned. Stop
this undue stigmatisation. We Harassed Single
Girls have had it up to “here” with your
“husband-snatcher” branding franchise.
Yours,a pissed single girl.
