Benita27:
Do we need to applaud them for meeting up to international standard?.

This is how it's meant to be, please.
Yes we do need to applaud them for that. Imagine what happened to me one time at Muritala Airport about 6 years ago.

I was returning to the US, dude at the airport was going through my entire luggage taking out everything and inspecting them. That was weird to me.

After he did all that, he ended up asking me if he could have my hairclippers. That's one of the items in my luggage. I probably had about 5 others at home then and told him he could have it and he did. That was a weird request though, but he took it anyways.

That was weird to me because the hairclippers were designed for the 110 volts the US uses, not the 220 volts in Nigeria. Plus, I can't understand why he needed someone else's hairclippers. That stuff only costs about $20. I can't use anyone else's clippers, not sure why he wanted it so badly. Even I had to use a portable step-down transformer i brought with me to use it in Nigeria. I bet he was just going to plug that stuff directly when he gets home, and it's just going to explode or melt. That was what he asked for and I gave it to him. Very weird request from a supposed immigration person at the Lagos International Airport.

Trained dogs do a better job than many folks working in Nigerian airports, dogs don't look for clippers, they look for drugs and other contraband they can smell since dogs can't talk.
TravelRe: Dogs Check Luggage At Lagos Airport (Video) by SmartMugu:
That's how it should be done. Humans can't smell what some specially trained dogs can smell. Even at the airports in the US, Canada and UK, they use sniffer dogs to sniff out luggage and identify those with contraband in them. So, it's normal in my opinion.

They are not the same o, at least in the eyes of northern Muslims. Trust me, I grew up in the north. Whenever religious crises set, them no dey spare Yoruba Muslim o. They count them as infidel(Arne or kafir). Yoruba Muslims dey come take refuge for Christian dominated areas if e start.

Long hour of sitting in a confined position leads to stasis of blood in the leg and eventually clot together (especially in people at risk e.g previous small pulmonary embolism, endothelial injury). Immediately they come down from the flight, the clotted blood get dislodge and travel to the lung where it block the pulmonary artery. As a result of this, blood cannot get to the lung for oxygenation.
I don't think that's what happened to him. His flight was Emirates, Emirates don't have direct flights to Nigeria from the US, so there was a stop-over somewhere. Most likely somewhere in the middle-east. He definely had time to relax till his layover ended. So it wasn't because he was sitting in one position for long.

I have taken a few direct flights to Nigeria via Delta airlines, about 10-11 hour direct flight, I didn't die at the airport. My last trip was via KLM- about 8 hours first to Amsterdam, I didn't die there and another 7 hours to Abuja, I didn't die there either. I didn't die at the airport like he did. I even returned to the US these many times and didn't die at the US airports.
So, there's more to his death than just sitting on a plane for too long.

Anyway, after reconsideration, I would say that you try to rehabilitate your wife since you knew she was like that before getting married. You guys should deal with your problems. Bring her to Jesus Christ and keep praying for her. Perhaps she might change. Maybe God has put you in her life to help her.

The last thing that should be on your mind is reuniting with your wife. Maintain that distance because if u guys come back you are merely resuming your issues. The same issues that caused her stealing from you are still there and someone is talking of reuniting. This is no fairytale movie where all ends well. This is reality man.
I was thinking that's what I need to do, but it's hard. We have two beautiful kids together. They need both of us. It's hard, I swear, but if I have to do it, I'll just do it and move on with life.

Has your wife apologised for her past behaviour or shown that she is sorry? Is Alimony threats the way a woman who wants to turn a new life behaves?
How sure are you that her parents won't interfere unnecessarily in ur home again?
These are the questions that should be on determine whether you guys will reunite on not and not all the bull that fortune teller is telling you. Are u reuniting to begin same suffering again? Is that what family life is all about?
Also ignore any advice coming from that fortune teller female. She has justified your wife's parents behaviour, she has justified your wife's troubling insecurities, she even justifies her violent habits. She is clearly not fit to advise you as she does not care for your own probs. Living with a woman with massive insecurities is very dangerous: See what happened to that Ibadan man who was killed by his wife because she was jealous of the man's baby mama. Mind you, the guy was always calm and going back to his wife like you.
Actually, my wife actually came back and apologized for her actions, I apologized for mine too. She said she didn't want to lose her family, I didn't want to either. She was my best friend, she knows everything about me. We kissed, hugged, and spent the night together with the kids in their room.

What happened afterwards? Next day she woke up, made a few calls and went back to her crazy mode. May be someone she told about us working on getting back together gave her a different advice. How could someone that just came to make up yesterday suddenly want to break up tomorrow? It's like she really doesn't have a mind of her own. People around her direct her and tell her what to do. Her friends and her parents.

But for me, I've been freely making my own decisions for over 25 years now. My mom doesn't interfere in my marriage, neither do my siblings. I don't interfere in their marriages either. So I had a problem with her mom showing up at my house controlling how she wants things done. I have a mom too, but she's not as petty as hers is. My mom rather supports us in prayers, rather her mom wants trouble, but I already know how to handle their type when it gets to it.

FortuneTeller:
I get like that as well. I really think it's insecurity. Well I don't know if it will work on your wife, but don't talk to her every day. Talk to your kids and when she wants to to talk, keep it very short and say you have to go. The minute she starts arguing with you, say goodbye and hang up immediately. She's going to shout and try to keep you from talking to your kids for a few days, but hold tight and wait. The reason I know this works is because whenever my husband is away and he stops calling me, I get chest pain. The next thing you know, I'm calling him and being nice. I don't like him being quiet because I don't know what he is thinking. Is he upset with me? Is he tired of my craziness? Does he have someone else? All kinds of thoughts run through my head. So when he stops talking to me, I calm down and relax my mind. The worse thing you can do when you visit her, is to argue with. I'm telling you all the arguing just winds us up for more arguing. The best thing you can do is sit there quietly while she carries on and wait for her to finish. At that point, tell her you love her, you love your children and you want her to come home. Tell her But if she doesn't want to come home, let you know before you to back to Atlanta. Take her out to eat and right before you leave, drop her a stack of money. When you get back to Atlanta, do not answer your phone for a few days. Trust me. She is going to blow up your phone and text you to come and get her and the kids.
Thanks again for the kind words. As per money, I take care of that, I've always done that regardless of if we are together or not. I just did earlier this morning via Google wallet when she called about what the kids need. I believe it's my responsibility as a dad and have no reason to deprive my kids and her of what they need.

On the argument piece of her, God knows 100 angels can't sit me down to listen to an angument. I'll just walk away when things get argumentative. I hate being around arguments like crazy, I just walk away.

My wife hated that piece of me. When she wants to start an argument, I just grab my car keys and leave without saying nothing back. That upsets her, so I never had to hit her whenever she starts that madness. She got smarter and started hiding my car keys from me before she starts an argument, but she forgot I had spare keys for both of my cars. I'd just run to which ever one to avoid her wahala. Just getting away sometimes hurt her more that hitting her, that's what I do, I never hit her before,I just drive off and go anywhere, that hurts her more because she wants to argue and I dont.

Don't let these devils run you away from your wife and kids. They don't have half of the things you have and are trying to give you advice. You know your situation better than anyone else, but don't be a fool and lose your family over some people who likely haven't worked in years and live in a self contained room. Many of them are teens and in their 20's. They have never lived the life you have and likely never will. It's good that you have protected yourself, but also think of your children. Your wife wants to come home. Please let her come and stop this foolishness. You never know. I could be in the house with your wife right now, eating Oreos, trying to appeal on her behalf.
Thanks for the advice. My wife is actually a great person regardless of our cultural differences. She just suddenly changed. I'm sure we can fix that, I can't imagine starting all over with a random woman I know nothing about. I just need her to get back to her senses. She forgave me for my past actions, I'll forgive her for whatever she did too. But the problem now is she's impossible to talk to. 80% of our phone conversations end up in an argument. I don't like arguments, she knows that about me but that's exactly what happens now.

I'm praying over it though, the wife I married is different from the wife I have now. I guess that's probably my destiny on marriage. Life goes on anyways.

If you notice, l respond to any post on this issue, serially, top one first.
So, l just saw the above now...(and even other ones posted after it).

First, please stop using the word "brawl" in this context! A brawl is a FIGHT. Period.
Maybe you had a "heated argument" with the guy (though, that you went as far as drawing your weapon, makes it more than just a brawl! What would you have done if he did not pipe down? Your guess is as good as mine).

Any married woman that sleeps around or with another man apart from her husband is a hoe. Straight and simple.
Any married man that sleeps around or sleeps with another woman apart from his wife is a "male hoe".
Let is dispense the necessities and call a spade, a spade!

(but l actually was not referring to your wife, in my post, as the hoe). I guess you are getting overly defensive now grin grin undecided
Read the post again.

I also notice that you are making loads of "excuses" for your wife's actions.
That is also typical but it is a "nice thing" to do. So 'Macho'! kiss
I think at this stage, from what you wrote, l will place my bet on you taking her back.
I will also place my bet that if you will be honest with yourself in the future (you dont need to confess), you will regret that action, when the time comes. undecided undecided

Men are different.
Some are made of steel, others of bronze and others of wood. Some school of thought even say some are made of tissue paper! shocked shocked

I read you are planning a cruise with her also.
The vibe l get in all these is that you are desperate to 'make up', which is good in one sense but could also be bad in so many others.

That being the case, one must never cry more than the bereaved.
Whatever l have written before now, is meant for those "whose die are cast"... as in 'no going back'!
So, please IGNORE them, they have become irrelevant


I wish you goodluck, going forward.
I appreciate your comment. Thanks.
I've always been a truthful person all my life, I don't lie. I say things how they are and brace up for the consequences of my actions. I'm not a perfect person, like some of us reading this aren't either, but I don't hide anything from my spouse. I was a male-hoe when I met my wife. I had several women around me and she was just one of them. She even met some of them before.

As soon as me and her got serious, I left that life. I stopped talking to all the girls I was messing with and we started planning towards a family. She got pregnant with my son 7 years ago, so I became a family man. I never slept with any woman except her. We flew to Las Vegas for our wedding and started our little home.

At some point, my job took me to Cleveland, Ohio. Her and our son were here in Atlanta, but we talked everyday after I'm done with work. My job then paid for my hotels in Ohio. All I did was just work, go back to my hotel room, talk to my family on the phone and went to sleep afterwards. I swear, that was my life back then, I never did anything else.

All of a sudden, she started accusing me about sleeping with other women in Ohio. I wasn't messing with anyone, but she kept saying that. She even called me one time after work and asked who was the lady's voice she just heard. That was the TV, it was some random person on TV I don't know. I turned off the TV and she ended up telling me I told the girl to keep quiet because of her. Within me, I knew she was wrong. I had never slept with anyone in Ohio back then, but she constantly accused me of sleeping with every girl in Ohio.

Next day, before I knew it she drove all the way from Atlanta to Cleveland Ohio where I was without telling me. An 11 hour drive. I just came back from work and saw her and my son at the hotel reception. I guess she was assuming i was chilling with one of the girls she had in her head, but i swear i wasnt sleeping with anyone then but her, but she had insecurity issues. She just wanted to know if I was messing around or not.

When she returned to Atlanta, she still kept accusing me of cheating on her, which I never did through when me and her got serious.

At a point, I was like f.k it, I could as well start doing what she constantly accused me for. I never did it, she accused me of doing it, I could as well just resume doing it and watch her accuse me of doing it like she did when I wasn't doing it. That's when I resumed messing with random women beyond her.

You need to be very careful, over this kind of "boastful statement".
Let me give you a heads-up here: Alimony and Child support has NOTHING to do with TAKING CARE of your ex-wife and children.
It is DESIGNED (mostly by women and some sissy men) to put you into PENURY and eventually, make life not worth living for you, so you can consider the option of suicide or other forms of self-immolation!

Go and ask experienced family-lawyers (Try engage a female family Lawyer that is not a man-hater, those ones will tell you the truth of the whole show)

undecided undecided
You have to be stinkingly rich, to be able to survive on the remaining 10%...and you will have to work your self to death to keep it up.
Remember that even if you work-more, so you can earn more, she will just go back to the courts and ask for even more...and she will get it. grin grin

Right now, you need to start divesting your investments (if its not too late sef! angry ), making sure you have enough money aside where no one knows or can reach it.
Come to Nigeria and buy a house and let the proceeds be paid into an account you have here.
Invest joint business with trustworthy friends and be the "silent partner".
Do everything to make provisions for yourself because the courts will really phuck you up.

Remember that they can only take (from you), what they can find!
if they ask you to pay more than you have shown you have or that they have PROVED that you have, you have the right to keep appealing the judgement.
Remember that you will also lose a large chunk of your income, paying legal fees.


Anyway, l dont know you and you dont know me but l am 100% certain that you will remember these words spoken by a stranger.

That girl is just trying to psych you up for her own kind (your wife), most women have an "unspoken loyalty" to their kind.
She hs gone from blaming you for your wife's cheating, blaming you for the break-up of the marriage, saying her parents were right portraying you as a kidnapper, asking you to take her back and even using your children to pressure you into doing so:

Ask yourself: WHY is she saying all these?

1. I have been working around whatever worst case scenario she can come up with. I have funds stashed in Canada and Nigeria. Worst case scenario, I'm bouncing from the US to Canada. I've been there more than 30 times. Let them come and collect child-support and alimony there, I'll have a lawyer waiting to inform them of the laws in Canada.

2. Me and siblings were here, but they returned to Nigeria afterwards. Each have what they're doing. One ended up being a politician and the others own their own businesses in Nigeria. But they all come over to the US whenever they want.

3. I own a house in Nigeria already, I just don't live there for now. It's a 4 family flats, I have tenants there, and own the entire top floor. Since I'm not in Nigeria, my lil Sister stays there. Worst case scenario I'll just bounce back to Nigeria.

4. I work for a global consulting firm here, I already know from September this year, I'll be on projects in 3 countries in Europe and some in UAE. Let them come and take my money then, my direct deposits go to my Canadian bank accounts, I can withdraw it anywhere in the world.

5. I'm in the process of setting up accounts in Seychelles (A tax haven). That's beyond the US jurisdiction, they can't touch my funds.

Just watch, I'm playing mind games with the American system now. It's seriously flawed and only slow people will wait to be held at ransom over this. I married her in good faith, she switched on me and I'm supposed to deal with their legal consequences? There are ways around this type of stuff, thats what im about to do. Im an IT guy, all i need to make money is just a laptop and internet. I don't even go to any office, I work from home. She'll end up on the losing end if she brings all that around me. I can do whatever I do from wherever I want in the world as long as I have access to a computer. Sure she's not thinking in that line. Nah, that's never happening with me plus I have good lawyers in case anything turns out escalated.

I really give a lot of Credit to you guys who marry white women but then, l realised that "Women are just Women, irrespective of their colour, just that it becomes really, really bad, when 'racism' gets added to the problem".

Your in-laws already poisoned your relationship from day one so it will just take a little "sweet-talking" from family or friends, for that marriage to breakdown....and it did.
African-American women are even worse, one just got sentenced for killing her husband who did everything for her, including becoming her errand boy that goes to Mc Donald to buy burger for her. He just bought a house for both of them.
The guy was a Fire-fighter and she murdered him just so she can lay her hands on his $100,000 life insurance
Yeah you're right, women could be crazy sometimes, but they are indispensable. Nigerian ladies aren't spared. One of my very close friends that said he didn't want to marry an American flew to Nigeria to marry a girl and brought her over to the US. Like it is in every home, both of them had a disagreement. I don't know the details, but the Nigerian girl ended up calling 911 on him and he got locked up in jail.

That's a dude with no criminal record in the past and his American ex-girlfriends never did that to him before. When he told me, I had to tell him he went all the way to Nigeria to import trouble for himself. That was why I didn't go to Nigeria to find a wife in the first place, I think the drama would be worse for me, I'm more Americanized than Nigerian now. Don't get me wrong, I grew up in Nigeria, but most of my adolescence life is here in the US. I've never even messed with any Nigerian girl here in the US, but whenever I come to Nigeria, it's tonnes of them laying around. I messed with those ones like we men all do, nothing afterwards.

Now both of them sleep in separate rooms, she already got the papers she needed from him, what next? Alimony and child-support I guess. So, there's no difference between me and him, I married an American, he imported a Nigerian girl and our stories ended up same.

While l cant judge on what really happened between you and your wife (and you deleting that original post, makes it look like you are trying to hide something!), l am sure most intelligent beings know that Nigerian women cheat a lot on their husbands, first with a Co-worker (it starts as flirting and attention ) and then maybe a neighbour.
They dont even know to do it far away from anything connected to them! Dumb phucks! angry angry

Ofc, if you caught her cheating and went as far as having a brawl with the guy (l detest guys that fight with their wife's lover, though l understand that they think they are trying to save their marriage but they should know that by the time it gets to that stage, the marriage is already dead and buried!
The problem is not the guy phucking her, he just saw a free punanny and he is shagging it; the problem is your wife who decided of her own freewill, to get open her legs and get shagged by every dick available in town, that is who you should direct your anger at because afterall, she will still go to court to divorce you and even want to claim half of what you own! Its that bad), the marriage is already ended.
1. I deleted the original post after me and her made up. It's no point sharing what goes on in my home when I don't care about what goes on in other people's homes. Plus, I needed advice back then but people ended up just cursing me out and calling me names.

2. I'm not a violent person. I've never ever laid my hands on my wife. God forbid. The dude in question came at me, I had to defend myself. We didn't get in a physical fight, but we cursed each other out. He wanted a fight, I carry a weapon (It's legal here for non-felons), brought it out and he calmed down and that was was it. No one got hurt.

3. My wife never cheated on me that I know of until the case with this dude. So, I really don't consider her a hoe. I think I was a bigger hoe than her. So, I'll take more of the blames than her. She might have done that to spite me, plus I heard of the escapades from her friends that I ended up messing with and a couple of them wanted to start coming over to my place everyday. I had a problem with that. They may have just lied, who knows. I didn't catch her in the act, but my brawl with the dude was what made me conclude they're right.

You know I'm going to fight you until I win you over, because my family is very mixed up with this American/Nigerian dynamic. I don't want to say too much because I know my hubby follows my posts. Why he hasn't said anything to me about some of the posts I make on here, is because he knows have a crazy spirit. You have to realize that your wife is very childlike and spoiled due to her parents. It's already been proven that she was there when the money as coming and ran when the money got low. I'm very much like your wife and talk too much about what goes on in my household. I make rash decisions when I'm angry and expect my husband to forgive me, even when I do something wrong. When other people start talking about what they have and what they would do if they were me, it makes me insecure. I have to get by myself to really see what is happening.

Your wife is going through the same thing. She is with her parents and realizes she doesn't want to lose her family. She's seeing all the baby mamas and old people from her neighborhood who are struggling and she wants to come home. Her pride won't let her apologize, so she is threatening you with money. If you divorce her, she is going to go into depression. I say all kinds of crazy things to my husband, run him out of the house, get mad if there is something he can't give me, but then eventually I come to my senses when I'm alone. He has learned how to ignore me and keep moving on with life. He either laughs or completely ignores me. It's made life a lot easier for the both of us.

My advice is to go to Michigan and collect your wife and children. She really just wants you to come running back for her, so she doesn't feel ashamed. Plan a nice family trip after she returns and things will go back to a fairly normal place. Don't abandon your children with your crazy wife. They need you.
Thanks for your advice. I already booked my flight to Michigan for the 21st of this month. My daughter's birthday is the 22nd,I promised her I'd be there.
Our son's birthday is in August, she'll be bringing them to Atlanta for that. May be we can plan a cruise to Jamaica or somewhere when she comes,I just know it's impossible to talk to her under her parent's influence like she is under now. Me and her have decent communication on the phone when she's alone,when she's with her parents, she starts yelling at me for no reason.
I'm sure we can have a decent communication when she and the kids come to Atlanta next month and see how it goes.

Thanks again for your advice.

grin What she did is not unusual in the US. It also happened to my relative. However I thought you said she wanted to come back. If she wants to come back, then let her. I know your kids are missing you terribly. This may sound terrible, but if your wife loves money, just lure her back with that. Otherwise you may end up paying alimony and child support. Either way you will have to pay her and you won't even have the benefit of seeing your children regularly. What will you really get with another woman? It will just be the same wahala.
You're entirely right. Alimony and child-support is what she's been threatening me with, but humans are the ones paying those, not animals. If others paid that in the past and are still alive, I can do that too. I make enough and have never had a problem with taking care of her and my kids. Since we've been separated, I've been sending her and the kids about $800 per month, I don't expect alimony + child-support to be way more than that, a court will decide that.
It's just more complicated than you know about my case. Her parents are all in my family business and I'm definitely not willing to have then run my home for me. She runs to tell them everything happening in the home and her parents call me afterwards. I never envisaged that.

I bought a Benz about 4 years ago, her dad called me telling me I should have asked him before doing that. That even him hasn't owned one before. I had to tell him that's not my fault, I make more that him and his wife combined, so why would I settle for a jetta or Volkswagen when I can afford it? That's my business not theirs. I pay all my bills myself, why they're interested in what happens in my house is weird to me.

I got in an accident about two years ago in another Honda car I own. It was an old 1995 Honda del sol convertible. Our insurance company offered about $4500 for the car, I looked online for same type of car and found one for $2500. She agreed. 30 minutes later, her mom called talking about she doesnt want me to settle with what the insurance company offered because she she doesnt want her daughter's insurance premium to increase. What she didn't know was I was the one paying for all the insurance all along. Why her family gets too deep into my personal affairs is just much. Who I married was her, not her mom and dad, but she tells them everything

Getting back together is like starting the whole thing all over. I have a problem with that.

Sir I'm not even that far from you. All I will say is that I don't see any fault in what her family said to you. Really you should just admit your faults, straighten up and go back to you wife. That is my opinion.
It's too late to go back to her. It's more complex than you know. I went to Virginia about a year ago for some business presentations. I was only there for 4 days. She called me saying she had left with our kids. She took almost everything in my house and shipped them all to her mom in Michigan where she's from, without my consent. She planned all that for when I wouldn't be in town. I came back and my whole house was empty.
Now I'm buying everything she took all over again. Why not be considerate? That was theft, if she wanted to go, she could have left with whatever she owned. She took mine. I live in a 3 bedroom home, all furnished when we were together, before I came back from Virginia, two bedrooms were entirely empty. I had 4 flat screen tvs, I came back to see a tiny tube tv, she took the rest. At least she left my bed. So, why would I waste my time trying to get back with someone with that type of mindset?

On the kids, me and her will be going to court soon on our custody issues. I hired a law firm handling that. All I want is just joint custody of our kids, it's ok, she can go, our kids have my genes in them and they call me everyday telling me they miss me.

DISGUSTING!!! I should have known you were in Atlanta. It's just a Sodom and Gomorrah in the black community. I hope you haven't been infected by all those gay men there.
Yup, that's Atlanta for you. It was like that before I moved here, I didn't create it. The gay ones know their lane, I know mine.

I cannot say who gave it to who, because it's possible the woman you were CHEATING with got treated and never told you. The point is that you came to the thread trying to make it seem as if your wife was an awful person and you were innocent. You're not innocent. You contributed to the destruction of your marriage. It makes me angry when Nigerian men try to act as if they are saints, when it's rarely the case. What did you do to make your wife go to another man? Was it your own infidelity? Obviously you weren't giving her the love and attention she needed. See how that works.
Don't get me wrong, my wife was a decent person. She was a great woman when everything went well between us. She was all I needed. But when she started listening to other tiny voices, things changed. Mind you, we had the cultural differences, I'm African + American, she's entirely American. When she started hiding our kids passports from me was the starting point. She thinks I'm gonna someday disappear with the kids to Nigeria. She told me her friends told her that's what Africans do. I asked her to tell me of one African that has done that before, she had no names to mention.

On a serious note, her and her entire family have insecurity issues. Even her dad called me about 10 years ago when me and her were just dating and warned me that if I took his daughter to Nigeria and I end up kidnapping her, he was going to find me and kill me. I have never kidnapped anyone before in my life, why would I then kidnap my own wife and kids and keep them in Nigeria? I don't even know much about Nigeria anymore, that's why I joined this forum to get updates on what happens there. I have no idea what's going on in their minds, I think they're all just struggling with insecurity issues.i travel to Nigeria whenever I want, I was never kidnapped. I guess they just assume Nigerians are kidnappers from whatever they see on the news etc. I grew up in Nigeria and I know it's not as bad as the media paint it to them.

In 2015, you wrote that you gave your wife an STD.
It turned out she had a dude she was messing with. I got to meet him and we got into a brawl. Not sure if she gave me the STD back then, the girl I thought I got it from ended up not having it after tests from doctors. We went to the clinic together after mine was treated, she didn't have anything. Wife went for checkup, and she had same I was treated for and got treated too. I think it was chlamydia. So, where did it come from?

I think I know my home more than anyone, just like I'd expect others to know theirs more than me. Our breakup didn't come from the event you mentioned.
I apologized to her and she forgave me, even though I wasn't sure it came from me. One of her coworkers ended up telling me she was messing with someone else that was another coworker. I worked from home back then, sometimes I have to watch our kids while she goes to work.

Her coworker told me most times she left home for work, she wasn't at work. So, I was watching the kids while she lied about going to work and ended up elsewhere? After I met the dude, it was time to say goodbye. That was what led to our breakup, not what you mentioned.

Are you kidding me?

Of course now.

Men, well most men, are conditioned to just walk it off and screw most anything in skirts in the short term to get over it.

Welcome to the real world, yo.
You're entirely right. After my case started, I've been dealing with as many women as possible. Not like I like that, but when someone you gave your all to switches on you, life still has to go on. Funny enough, it was her co-workers that were advising her that led to our break-up. What they wanted was what she had. They had baby-daddies, she had a husband, a family and a home.

After she left, her advisers started coming to my house, each claiming to want to help clean up my place. I think I ended up messing with 3 or 4 of those she chose to listen to. That's just her decision, and it hurts her now, I didn't start it, she just chose to listen to people that don't have what she had. Life goes on, it's too many women in the world to really waste your time on someone that doesn't appreciate you, that's my mentality.
