Tell Your Story #39: A Wolf In Sheep's Clothing

Hello beautiful ladies, trust you're doing great? I am Idara-abasi Sunday and I identify with the Steemit username @purpleidy23. I think most people here are familiar with me but to set the records straight with the newbies, I had to reintroduce myself. I'm very happy reconnecting with y'all again and I pray affliction will not rise the second time. As you all knows, it's tell your story time and that the reason I'm here to serve it just the way it is.

There's this my neighbour who's really good at being judgemental and acts like "holy Mary". She has a friend who visits her frequently and they'll gist, mind you she hardly talks to anyone in the compound and you'll only get to hear her voice when she wants to pass a judgement on a trending topic in the media. So just last week Monday, her friend came to visit her. The friend stood at the door for over twenty minutes knocking and I was surprised at the change because normally, she would've just called my neighbour by her name and we'll be welcomed and ushered into the house.

The next knock came with madam come and open this door and my neighbour asked who it was and her friend replied. She came out and stood by the door, her friend started raining here with insult, calling her all manner of names. I was surprised and was wondering what could be the issue, people gathered because the friend was already creating a scene so she disclosed that our neighbour, miss holier than thou slept with her husband and ah! Shame wore me boxers on her behalf because I never expected such act from her.

The friend continued with the story, how my neighbour would disturb her husband with calls to know when this her friend won't be at home so she could go over to the man's house. People started laughing and mocking her and I could imagine how embarrassed she felt, she couldn't play gospel music and speak in tongues while sitting outside. Omo the scene was too much so people begged her friend to let go and forgive her, when the friend left, she told us that she knew it was a trap and a question was thrown at her, "why did you fall into it when you knew it was a trap?"

She couldn't give a tangible reply to the question so a teenager told her and I quote " Aunty, the respect I had for you is gone, how could you do that to your own friend?" The words struck her like and arrow and she went quietly into her room and she wasn't seen outside through out that day and next. This got me asking, " why choose to be a betrayer?" She literally stabbed her friend at the back without thinking twice and I'm wondering how was she able to still look at her friend in the eyes while committing such crime? It is well oo

Lessons Learned

Trust no one: Don't get too familiar with someone because you'll regret the outcome especially if the person isn't reciprocating same energy he or she is getting from you. Some people are frienemies, they smile with you but their heart harbours a different thing entirely towards you.

Don't welcome everyone to your home, especially if you guys have not known each other for about two or three years because some people are wolves in sheep clothing.

I have to stop writing here though I have more things to say but before I go, if like to invite my friends @joychi102 and @jemilatbuhari to participate in this contest. Thank you so much for reading, take care and have a good night rest.

Thank You For Engaging.🌹

You see this case of infidelity, I would always say, leave the temptress or femme fatale and face the man.

Everyone should be responsible for their actions. That lady would not have succeeded in having her friend's husband if he had not given room.

I believe he started by entertaining chats and connecting with his wife's friend. As a rule of thumb, you have no business chatting or connecting with your partner's friend, especially if they are of the opposite sex. This applies to both men and women.

You shouldn't even connect with them on social media, except you were already connected before you met your partner.

It's the same thing you'd do if they were your business partners or colleagues at work. Everything ends at work and doesn't cross over to social media.

So, if the man violated this rule, then he obviously knew what was coming.

We all know that there is a high chance of getting attracted to someone if you spend quality time with them. So, if you choose your wife's friend, that's cheating whether you are copulating or not.

His wife should have focused on her husband, rather than beat a dead dog. How does that change anything? Does it make her husband faithful to her? Would putting up a public show make her husband respect her and his vows?

I believe more people should start getting trained on the does and don'ts of marriage and romantic relationships. No one can penetrate your walls, except you allow them.

Your opinion is valid, boo.
But as a friend, no matter the level of woo's you got from your friend's partner, it's advisable not to give in because lastly, you'll be seen as the bad person not the unfaithful partner.

I agree too.
Still the lady need not waste her energy on her friend in a bid to create a scene. She needs to address the issue with her husband first.

That could be anybody and I'm sure she wouldn't want to be known as the woman who fights all her husband's side pieces.

Congratulations!
