Fools get fooled too!

There are some folks who did not meet their biological father (parent), until adulthood. Some never will. Why? It varies – as a result of a child being born after a war, military stationed, vacation stop, death, drugs, adoption, moved, one-night stand, affair, or just plain denial and lies…

Not every affair or cheating episode result in a child being born.  But some do. In one of his radio episodes, Michael Baisden stated, in part, swab kid mouth and get a DNA, whether one is married or not.  I did not take offense after hearing many stories, but many of the listeners who called in did.  One guy stated he found out the kid was not his when she was in her 40s and to him, it did not matter.  He says, he could not undo their whole entire relationship from birth.

Sometimes cheaters think they are fooling the spouse by sneaking around to do the dirty.  What they may not realize is that he/she may be seeing other folks as well.  I say, play around with dogs, one will get fleas.  That fool, is being fooled too!  Another name is hoodwinked, deceived, tricked, duped, fooled, cover-up (dumbass – sorry, just thinking out loud)!   Cheaters are so busy being fake, they do not realize the trickery going on when jezebel is plotting: “Who has time to wait until he comes back in town”.  “I’m not going to collect cobwebs and wait for him to show up after weeks or months.” “He is married and there is no commitment, so I can see whoever I want”.  No one is calling anyone a hoe, but – Well, it gets complicated.  Who’s the daddy?  Pick one of the many she may be sleeping with!  I saw a show on television where a teenage boy wanted to know who his father was and the man at the podium wanted a relationship with the boy.  He told the judge years ago when he sent for a DNA, there was another boy’s name on his DNA result and at the time he did not understand; and that boy was not the father.  The judge announced the results of this man’s DNA one the show — he was not the boy’s father, either.  This means as a teenager, she was sleeping with at least three boys (these two were not the boy’s father – the boy was devastated and mom was embarrassed). Public Service Announcement (PSA), firstly, keep your personal package in your pants, except for your spouse!  However, if one is cheating and did not wear a condom or a condom burst – DNA is the only option after a child is born.  Please also note if one was dipping in the sauce, well, there is a possibility that if a pregnancy comes along, one may get a finger pointed at them.  Maury says, “you are not the father!” Or you may very well be the father.  Even though, a lot of feelings will be hurt, but the truth will come out.  Otherwise, the more one lies, the more one has to cover the lies. Truth be told, most men do not want any part of this outside child.  In fact, most run off.

Readers, everyone says, I let nonsense break up my marriage. I left my husband because he was not man enough to tell me he cheated.  Also left because my husband is a liar.  Yes, Readers, whether a woman is 18 or 65 and know a man is married, she may not care, and will spread eagle. My husband knew he is married to me and it did not stop him from cheating. My husband is a loser.  A two-year old child is out there and her momma has not had DNA done and hides the child – who does that?  My friends have asked me, so why did I kick him out?  The child has nothing to do with me.  Again, my deal breaker was when that vagina and his penis met!  Our marriage vows were disrespected by my husband, not her.  No amount of begging from my husband can restore our marital relationship. Whether the child is his or not, it does not matter to me –that would only make him one of the biggest fool ever.   Even cons may get conned. 

Denial sometimes make folks think, if ignored, the problem may go away. It will not go away.  Folks tell me Shhhh!  I am over everyone telling me to stop talking about this.  Although some folks opt not to respond on the blog itself, (if that continues, I may stop posting my truth), however, my messenger inbox is loaded with kind words, and thank you. This is helping me heal.  Families may get upset about my publicizing my life, it really does not matter to me, as some may be enablers.  You see Readers, in my culture, it is acceptable that, uh, just punish him (yep, like time out), and then all will be sweet roses again.  No one was responsible to tell me, expect my husband.  He did not.  Yet some folks knew for years.  Sometimes folks get a good laugh, until it is their turn to dance this devastating twist.  It irks me that folks are so quick to say it is not my business, but is it their business to say go back?  Well, I say, a rose cannot grow in the dark only, else it will become wilted.  A rose needs sunshine and fresh water.  My husband kept me in the dark. Further, when one lies, omits or cover-up for a family member or friend, one becomes a co-conspirator and enabler – I could not bring myself to tell you!  It wasn’t my place to tell you.  Either way it will come out because darkness cannot overshadow sunlight. Thus everyone gets hurt in the long run – the tiny problem becomes a tsunami.  Fools get fooled!

Safety First

Everyone has a name for this woman who had sex with my husband. Some say that I have allowed her to be a homewrecker, some call her delilah, the wicked witch, slutty, among other names. It may be so, but I say, it takes two!

Putting a loved one at risk, may not be intentional, but rather, selfish, thoughtless and careless, at best. Yes, most agree that folks who do not respect a woman or a man wearing a wedding ring and makes advances shows a lack of self-respect that is daunting and unsettling. It is notable to say, sticks and stones in stating those names may be applicable and may be so, but I still say, again —it takes two!

Society seems to take sex lightly. The excuse mostly is it did not mean anything. Why do it in the first place? Quick pleasure, a boost to the ego, the excitement of sneaking around, or perhaps boredom?

Readers, think about this. Alright, if one did not wear a condom, technically, it meant one had sex with everyone that person have had sex with. Take this example, Readers. If someone were to put neon paintball on his jacket, and decides to hug another person, what do you think will happen? Well, that person will get paint on them, too, right? And, if that person hugs each subsequent person, each person who hugs them, hugs someone else, when the lights shine on each one, everyone would have neon markings on them. Please accept this analogy as a public service announcement of how venereal disease such as gonorrhea, syphilis, HIV/AIDs and others spread like wildfire. Each time one sleeps with one person who may be sleeping around, they get to share whatever disease that person has. I try to teach folks safety first, and I want my Readers to be informed. Some of these folk are ill, but darn it, they look good, as they are curvy, chunky, buffed, not scrawny and gaunt.

When I met my husband nine years ago, I took him to Planned Parenthood for testing. I supposed he got so comfortable, he forgot. No one understood why I put him out the same night I found out he had a two-year old child. I thought our marriage was above infidelity. I guess I was stupid. I was broken from the shock. I was alone and torn. But God! I say it again, His grace and mercy has kept me through this emotional rollercoaster. My faith in Him has lifted me up. He has strengthen me beyond belief. I trust in Him for his guidance and accept whatever pathway He is leading me to. He will supply all of my needs.

I asked a 21 year old young women, “how did you contract HIV” she answered, “while I was pregnant, they ran a blood test at the clinic”. She does not appear to be emaciated or look sick. She appears to be in great health on the outside. She takes her medications daily and does not use a condom. There goes the paintball, Readers!

Food for thought, after the act one may feel ashamed and regretful, but that may be short lived, as the excitement of getting away with it may overtake the senses. Avoid pregnancy by simply putting on a condom. My husband did not. If one is going to cheat, please protect your spouse. Well, you know.

I hope those who advise me to stay, have a better understanding from my perspective. Yes, he wants to come back, yes he promised it will never happen again, My trust is gone. I cannot immerse my head like an ostrich in the sand. That is my choice. It should never have happened in the first place. Snip, snip!

Positive affirmation: Each one, teach one!

Oh no, 9 years gone!

It was just after Christmas, but before New Year 2020.  I got a call from my husband’s ex-wife, through a third party.  “I’ve been looking for you since Thanksgiving”  I immediately thought, Wow, that’s strange. Although she is blocked from my phone, her children have my number.  However, I pretended to humor me to see what could she possibly have to tell me.  I asked the person to do three-way call, and the ex-wife stated in a long drawn out statement as follows:  I know we do not see eye to eye, but you are a woman and I am a woman, and I would want to know if it were me.  Oh boy, I thought, she has promised to break us up and I gotta hear this good or bad.  I said, what is it?  She blurted out, “he has a two-year old child.”  She went on to say some other stuff at this point sounded like white noise.  I remember telling her thank you.

I confirmed this with another relative, who blurted out, that he had recently learned of this child, his new niece, a day after Christmas and stated if they did not tell me, he was going to because he felt I was great to the family, and did not deserve this.

Readers, please note the child does not belong to the ex-wife!

I think I Face-time my bestie/ ride or die high-school buddy, and she asked what is all the ruckus going on in the background.  I stated, he is not home, but I am in the middle of kicking out my cheating husband, who fathered a child during the course of our marriage.  My husband has a 2 or 3 year-old daughter, and it took 9 months to produce, which means the affair happened at least 4 years ago if not longer. 

The feeling of anger, betrayal, stupidity, humiliation, embarrassment is indeed part of my experience and throwing all of his belonging into the garage helped me closer towards facing my ordeal.  My husband is a liar!

To say surprised, shock is an understatement.  Yes, the ex-wife meant it for evil, but indeed it was the greatest gift!  Readers, you are thinking, is she crazy!  No I’m saying there were changes, distance, space, that up to this.   Our travel, date nights, time together, him always working, arguments about working too much, less vacations, left a gap. We loved hard, passionate even though I am over a decade his senior. Now I am able to put my finger on that widening gap. 

When my husband came home and opened the garage door, all of his belongings, suits, pants, dress shirts, gym clothes, shoes, sneakers, sports coat, belts, underwear, etc. had felled on the garage door.  I did not want to look at his face.  He has been lying for at least 3-4 years. My husband lied and as I see it, he would have never told me.  He said, “I am sorry, I did not know how to tell you”.

After he left with his belongings, I went to bed and felt broken and shattered. I rebuked him and did not want him to speak to me. I now in the darkness of the night had a million questions. Things would not ever be the same between us. I have forgiven him already, as I laid there in the bed. Remember, forgiveness was not for him, it is for me. I stayed in the quietness of the wee hours of the morning as a cell phone which fell and cracked within its case. Broken but strong in its case! I just suffered a loss. I am grieving. Hang in there, I told myself.

I’ts been about a little over a week and I am better. Through prayer, song, church, family friends, my faith has kept me. Find your strong tower. My strong self, the support of family and friends, are my sounding board. However, I know I have to speak with a therapist.

I have heard more stories in the past week than I could ever imagine.  A lot of hurt folks dealing with affairs, cheating, outside children.   Do I blame the child’s mother, the ex-wife?  No, I do not.  The minute I found out that my husband invited and entertained an affair with the culmination of a penis and vagina meeting, it was over.  I have heard folks tell me so what, girl.  Take him back!  I wouldn’t lose a good man like that.  You have been so happy over the last seven years.  Girl, you are not the first and you won’t be the last.  I am not responsible for anyone else, but me. My experience, my choice.
