I thought we were doing fine. I thought we were one big happy family. But I was wrong. All the time that my husband was providing for our family, he was providing for his other family.  Not his immediate family though, he has another woman and they have a child. Torn between my love for my children and my dignity, I have decided to let him choose. He had chosen the more passionate love affair. He left and now I am a single mom trying to cope up with divorce and child care. My situation is undeniably hard right now but one thing I can be proud of, I have chosen to be a woman of substance.

Breaking up was never easy especially when the reason why you broke up was because of a third party. Your man found another woman that makes him more happy than when he was with you. It happens all the time. But time heals all wounds but not so if the wound finds it ways to hurt you more. He was married and I know that the very first day, I saw him. But our love for each other flourish wildly. He left his family to be with me. I know there will be four sets of eyes that will be shedding painful tears because I took their father and husband. But on the day the divorce case was being heard, my man realize that he loves his wife above all. He left me to be with his family again.

It is common for a certain student to develop a sense of endearment  for their professor.  But  what I feel for her is more than endearment, it is lasting love. When I told her how I feel about her, she just laugh  me off. She told me I was still in my high school and when I get to college and gradually find a job, I will meet a woman I will marry. I asked her to wait for me but she just smiled back. Years passed, I got a degree and worked in a high paying job in the city. In our high school reunion, I went back to my hometown with a ring in my pocket. And I saw her again, she was radiant as ever and very much pregnant.
