Life is never a straight line and sometimes it throws at you scenarios that test your self worth. The emotion of love is powerful and it can cloud our judgement. It can make the most intelligent do unspeakable things. Love throws all logic out the window once someone is experiencing a rough patch but your life above all is worth more than any one person. I received the following disturbing email and I replied based on facts not emotional disposition.
I am 28 and I am in love with a girl who keeps hurting me with a lot of deception. Even though she communicates regularly I have established that sometimes her communication is her way of monitoring my movements so that she can perform her deeds knowing exactly where I am and what I am doing. The other day I went to her place and found a used condom under her bed. Since then she has gone silent, not answering my calls and it is clear she has been cheating on me. I suspected her betrayal for sometime but I did not want to believe she would do that to me after I have been there for her when everyone was not. I finance her and her campus education and I treat her to the best of my ability. I am lost for words, I am not married and I do not play around with other girls. If anything I was hoping to propose to her after she graduates next year.
I feel like my World has fallen apart. She has been my driving force. I work hard to make sure I can give her a bright future but now I have nothing to live for, I have thought of ending my life so that she can feel the hurt I am feeling. Please help me.
Maurice replies,
Let me stop you there. Your predicament is unfortunate but your ending statement is illogical. Life is at times unfair but you always have a choice, making the right one is not easy especially when emotions are in the way of basic logic but taking your own life is not the answer and it will never amount to anything but death. Do you think killing yourself will make her hurt forever, then you are mistaken. She will hurt if at all she really cared for you but she will hurt for a while and eventually recover. The one thing that will not be reversable is that you will be dead, there is no coming back from that.
Let me break it down for you and forgive me for being brutally blunt but you need to know the real facts. First, life will continue without you. She will move on to the next man and you will be nothing but a statistic to her. While she is riding some other guy moaning above ground you will be 6 feet under ‘silent like a church mouse’.
This is what I recommend, sit down and list all the people you love especially your immediate family and ask yourself how your physical absence in their life will affect them, you will be gone forever, they will only have a memory of you, is that what you want them to go through because of some girl! Is she really worth your life? The people who care and love you unconditionally will host memorials to celebrate your life but she will not be party to those ceremonies. Her life will go on and your’s will be over. Look at it this way, you fell while running and now you must get up dust yourself off and learn from this experience. Life is short, don’t make it any shorter. Do not contemplate revenge of any kind. You said you usually work hard, well now do it for you, move up in life, acquire your dreams, perhaps your dream car and let her watch you progress without her and trust me she will notice and perhaps she will attempt to redeem herself but again back to choices we make in life, you need to move forward and view her has your past. Take that negative energy you have within you and turn it into something positive, something that will add value to your life.

Maurice I want to thank you for your honestly. Before approaching you all my friends could tell me is that there are plenty of girls, they did not touch on the emotional element. I actually feel stupid that I wrote to you about killing myself but I guess it was my way of venting and I needed someone to wake me up from the emotional bubble. I invested 3 years of myself and all I gort back was her back stabbing me but like you have said I am going to take this as a lesson learnt and move on my my life. Yesterday she text me “I am sorry baby I love you we need to talk” and truth be told I almost replied but I will take your advice and move on before her negative influence drains me.
Good advice Maurice. Straight to the point.
That is why I hit and run, women are not worth the trouble. Be a good guy a bad guy women are never satisfied and they never appreciate.
Dude just become a player life will be easier this lovey dovey business will kill you
I stayed with a girl for six years my friend, saw her through college and even the hustles of searching for internship, tarmacking until she landed a job last year. My friend, you don’t want to know what I went through. You got to take heart though, very soon you’ll recover out of this.
All the best.
Mike you are a duch, your mother should not have gone through the trouble of having you lol!and yes if women were not worth the trouble i think youd still be a sperm walking around somehere!!!!
What a story!! But hey, Maurice i value your advices. My brother has to move on with life and forget about this careless lady.
No doubt,no matter wat yu do to a woman she will neva eva appreciate..!!!bitter truth i learnt in life
I was once in love I paid for her university program and paid for an apartment for 4years. Gave her an allowance of 30k per month and after all that having her best interest at heart she played with me a mutual friend. Today she is jobless and everyone even that guy she was fucking around with has abandoned her. Maybe I have a faulty heart because to date I send her money when she is in a fix. If she had stayed faithful she would be so far. I had big plans for her but she let me down. Since then I do not trust women.
Whats the point of educating a bitch when she is going to use that education to screw you.I’d rather you just let her be the way you met.let her sort her shit…
Fucking hell bruv! Another brother learns the bitter truth. Too many guys fall victim to ONE-itis and pay very dearly, we have all been there, but we rarely put our shit out there. Too many guys getting strung out over bitches.
Society nowadays pushes this kind of scenario more and more, women end up fuck you over in reality while you’re on some disney roller coaster.
As Maurice said get up dust yourself off bro, you’ll be okay…and a few things:
– Don’t be in a rush to ‘fall in love’ or ‘love’ women, women love opportunistically! They love you for what you are not who you are; men are the true romantics. So you’ll be tempted to fall into this love shit again – DON’T!!!
– Don’t give your all to, or invest wholly in, any woman, give it to your passions, hobbies and your kids (if you plan to have any).
– Women, by nature, are hypergamous. Especially, to a very underestimated extent nowadays. Please understand that a woman is always exercising her options. So even if you love a woman, don’t let her know man, you’re better off spinning plates (see many women, without emotionally investing, or financially for that matter). Hold your cards to chest bruv!
– As the song says, “Hoes ain’t loyal!”
– And to that sila and others like her you say ‘Next!’
“There is no Quality Woman, that’s an idealization. Some are better than others of course, but you don’t find the perfect woman, you make the perfect woman. There is no needle in the haystack – that is Scarcity / ONEitis thinking – the point is to mold yourself and any woman who you do exclusively end up with into your own frame. This is a process that should come before you commit to exclusivity, not after.”
