Lindsey has been seeing a married man, a wedded married man for the last five years. She is a very beautiful girl, runs her own lucrative company at the airport with employees to boot. The man loves her or so to say. She is extensively involved in the running of the man’s businesses across the country and is almost the next of kin in all these engagements. This is however not on paper as the wedded wife is the next of kin.
Lindsey has been super loyal to Ken. Extremely loyal that for the last five years, she has not seen any other man nor given any other man a chance to be in her life. She is completely in love with Ken who makes time to be with her once in a while and at times they travel to the various destinations where the companies he owns operate from. Once in a while, he makes time to be with her, of course after lying to the wife.
Lindsey is head over heels in love with Ken and she cannot imagine living without him. It pains her anytime she can’t reach Ken on the phone or meet up physically. She cries herself to sleep on such days. Lately, Lindsey has been questioning herself over the relationship. She has never opened up herself to any other person in the five years she has been with Ken. It is however getting interesting to the level that she is wondering if it is worth it.
Recently Ken’s wife started suspecting that he was having an affair and started investigating. Ken denied the whole thing and declared his undying love for the wife. The shock that has Lindsey is one she will take time to recover from. These are five years of her life that are being denied in broad daylight.
Question is, what has she been believing in, in the last five years? Of course, she believed she was Ken's wife and once the wife got wind of it, she would admit to the affair. Shock on her!!. She is now asking herself why she has been loyal to a relationship that seems one-sided?
My opinion is, in such arrangements, one should set the record straight from the word go. The lady should open up to the man what she expects out of all this. Is it just an affair? As time goes by, communication should be clear as well. There are women who want to settle even as second or third wives and that’s okay. This should be stated and clear right from the beginning. There are also those who are okay with being the side chick for as long as the relationship exists and that’s still okay. What’s not okay is projecting your thoughts to the other party and assuming you are together in whatever is in your head.
