The Foolishness Infidelity Brings

I listen to stories that folks have of infidelity be it their parent(s), grandparent(s), friend(s) or themselves and there is really some bullshit out of the bunch.

I witnessed some yet again, firsthand at a  family get together this weekend.

Now the first reaction for folks with a cheating mate is usually some violent act, but you know your ish must be platinum plated, diamond encrusted or something for you to be a cheater and everyone involved works around it.

Case in point:  My cousin threw a 60th birthday party for her mama this weekend.  I went simply because I saw her the morning of and I'd told her that I would try and make it though I've been under the weather.

I get there and am talking to her daughter about some of the unfamiliar folks and I ask who did the catering.  She rattled off several famililar names and one I didn't recognize.  I asked who that person was.

Sitting down?  Ok, the birthday "girl" Ann (not using real names here) is married to Charles.  Charles' girlfriend's name is Barbara (even though Ann and Charles are still living together) and Barbara did the greens and candied yams.  *In my best Niecy Nash voice* What kinda foolishness is this?

I guess if you got it like that, but as a woman, I can tell you ain't none of that happenin up in my camp!  I'll be alone the remainder of my years before I settle for some shit like that!

*SMH* My family...

  5. My aunt lived with her guy (boyfriend, live-in mate) for nearly 18 years, up until 2 years ago... My uncle (the 2 were divorced) used to be a constant face in my aunts house, with the live-in guy... which none seemed to care about... My uncle (father of cousins) finally stole my aunt back from the live-in and now their happily ever after... Damn mess if you ask me... lol

  17. Dammit Twin!!! We won't talk about my uncle pissing his girlfriend off and then having the nuts to go to sleep at her house. She promptly stabbed him in the chest, killing him and the police had to go to his real place of residence to tell his wife...

  18. Wayyy back in the day... I had a then-husband who stood me and some friends up with plans to watch a Mike Tyson fight. He claimed he was going out to pick up snacks... Turns out the snacks he was pickin up were for the "fight party" he was havin at his 'girlfriend's' house. They were doin a double date thing with another couple. I had just delivered our 2nd child 2 weeks prior and was pissed.

    Now...Here's the BEST part of it all...He had some speeding tickets that had turned into warrants and he got stopped by the cops coming from the grocery store. Had his triflin ass girlfriend come knock on my door at 11:30pm to tell me that "He was with them, and was sending a message via the girl to have me contact his grandmother for bail money" I did so and she told me she would come in the morning with the money.

    Here's the kicker....As she sat across from me at our small kitchen, she placed an envelope with $400 in it just under her palm and stared me in the eye - "I love my grandson sweetie, but I know he's not takin' care of business in this household, so I give you may bail out your husband, or you can handle what he should have with it" I was young, but not a complete idiot. It was Friday afternoon........ So Monday morning, after they released him from his weekend stay (LOL) He asked me if I'd made the call. I told him "Sure I did, and I was given an option"...He was blown away that I'd let him sit in jail. I was like whatever...

    But cheerfully sat at that same kitchen table while I allowed him to make breakfast for me while I listened attentively to his stories of naked delousing, having his shoes stolen by a homeless man in his sleep and dodging anal rape...I laughed my ass of.

  19. Dang...ok, you beat me. LOL. I give up.

    People are CRAZY and do some messed up things when thinking with the wrong part of their anatomy.

  20. Good for you. He needed that experience. Hope it taught him a lesson.

  21. This probably happens more than we realize. Same thing as a woman who knows in her heart her husband is cheating...even has clues, but never confronts him.

    But this story is a lot crazier..for sure!

  22. first..love unfortunately it did not teach him any lessons that lasted...l eventually had to give him an ultimatum later on down the road with the following girlfriend. He called my bluff, and found the door locked and everything he owned in black garbage bags lined along the front side of the apartment wall when he decied to come home after I'd turned in for the night. Not long after that I filed for divorce. That was literally 21 years ago. To this day, he has been re-married for 15+ years and his habits didn't change much, just slowed down with kids and age. I don't think once a cheat always a cheat, but he makes it really hard to doubt.
