Before I start this blog, let me just say that we have all at one point done something that we would consider to be stupid, for love. Maybe not quite “love” maybe just strong affection or whatever you want to label it as, but the point is that it’s been done. If you can’t relate to that opening statement then you’re more robot than human you will sooner or later.
So recently I came across an article in which a Love-Causes-Stupid-Actions moment reared its ugly head. On one hand, I want to feel bad for this lady because it’s a fairly terrible (to put it mildly)situation to be in, on the other hand, it’s such a stupid decision that a lot of that pity ends up falling by the wayside.
Before I delve into the breakdown of this article, feel free to read the whole thing in full here.
Crazy Right? As I read it I couldn’t help but shake my head and think “this poor, simple-minded fool.” If ever there was a lesson in not taking a popular saying too seriously…
So as we all know, it was a combination of head over heels love and “what you won’t do another woman will” that got this woman into this situation in the first place. Don’t get me wrong, I’m a huge advocate of people doing what it takes to keep their relationship strong… within reason. Cooking more meals? Reasonable. Trying to spend more quality time together? Understandable. Putting down some new moves in the bedroom? Smart…admirable even. Agreeing to a threesome that results in you being pregnant with a complete stranger’s baby? Utterly ridiculous.
It kind of makes you wonder if there’s anything that he would’ve suggested that she would not have agreed to.. just because another woman “just might do it.” We all know that genuine love is a hard thing to come by nowadays, and it’s becoming harder and harder just to make it into any sort of decent relationship, much less find someone to actually fall in love with.
So of course, when you find a “potential one” you’re going to make some compromises along the way to try to make things work. Some of these compromises will make sense in the long run, others you’ll look back and wonder what exactly was going through your mind when you decided to make that choice. This story falls under neither of this categories.
But what do you all think? This story definitely had a poor outcome but do you think that this was a reasonable decision for someone who was looking to make their relationship work? Or was this request right up there with your significant other asking you to stuff vials of liquid cocaine between your butt cheeks and make a drop just south of the border do a task that absolutely should not be compromised on? Let me know in the comments below.
