Come On, People!

Normally, I don't talk about some things I see on FB, since some of them don't bear repeating.  But in this instance, I will make an exception.

My cousin posted a video to FB, that showed two female TEACHERS (yes, TEACHERS) duking it out in the hallways of a school.  The reason: one teacher slept with the other one's husband, and she found out about it - hence the fight video.  He said, and I quote:  "we gotta do better".

SMDH....sigh...and Amen.

Really, ladies?

First of all, I'm going for the example aspect.  We talk about these young girls swinging and throwing hands over these ig'nant little boys, but then: where do they learn this from?

Exactly.

Second of all: WHO was this paragon of a man, that had these two women choosing to go to their place of employment to confront each other of their shared connection? Lemme tell you this - to any man that steps over here and wants to be with me:  if you feel the need to cheat....LEAVE.  I'll be alright. You might get the stinky eye from me for a minute, but I'll. Get. Over. You. Trust. And. Believe. That.  To this "virtuous" man: karma is a bitch in heels, and she will have her day of vengeance.

Third, ladies, where is your pride, dignity, self-respect that you let this PIECE of a man reduce you to this foolishness?  You're more than likely out of a job, no income, reputation in pieces, and for what? A man that will probably drop both of you, and move on to the next one? Puh-leeze - I'd rather be single and happy than together and miserable.

To my brothers: DO BETTER.  If you know you don't want to be with her, hurt her now and walk away, than stay and cause irreparable damage to her and her life. Don't drag your insecurities into the relationship and then pass them off on her...that's just WRONG.

To my sisters: DO BETTER.  Not every man cheats.  Wait to see what kind of man you're dealing with before you get that deeply involved.  A man will tell you who he is and is not.  Give him time.  And if you aren't 100% sure, DO NOT MARRY THIS MAN!!!  I'm all for marriage, but you gotta give you and him time to know each other.  Make this man COURT you (I'll deal with that on another post), make him understand that you are valuable and so is your time, and make this man see that if he does you wrong - there are repercussions to his actions.

Divorce is at an all-time high because we don't communicate with each other, we don't take the time to love each other, we don't even take the time to LEARN each other.

We. Must. Do. BETTER!
