I haven't written on here in a while (maybe two years), so I'm happy to be back!
What prompted me to get back on here was essentially my job. I work in an office with about twelve other people, half women, half men. Over the past couple of years I've sat by while the men in my office constantly tell me about their affairs and mysogonistic adventures, and it's finally made me want to write about it. I've long ago accepted that other people will always have their own ways, and when their ways are unfaithful I simply remember that when in a situation that requires me to consider their character. I do not judge them though, nor do I scold them, hold it against them, or try to stop them. Their life is theirs, not mine, so I let them be; however, I began to think about their partners, their spouses, the ones they are being unfaithful to, and I started to have more complex thoughts. I began wondering if their partners were cheating as well; this I would not know because the women do not indulge such secrets like the men. I began feeling sympathy for the women, for the fact that they have no idea. They are oblivious to the fact that the person that they possibly consider their soulmate, who they possibly imagine does the things they say they do, and is faithful, actually considers their relationship immature enough to sleep with other women then brag about it at their job.
How can we do nothing and go on like nothing is happening? How can we live our lives without helping, yet say that we care?
Do we simply accept? Is the answer simply acceptance? Seems more like the fake, pretty girlfriend of unwillingness. So, what if I told the women? What if I obtained evidence and showed it to them? Would that help or simply make things worse? Are these men just human and cannot be blamed for their mistakes? Will they one day transcend their immaturity and develop actual morals? Should I be giving good advice to them? Encouraging them? Yes. That is the answer. Lead by example.
