Ready to play wife? A few things you must get right

My fellow women, what’s the number one thing you look for in a man before you painfully decide to try and spend the rest of your life with him? Personally, I always look out for protection first, the rest can fall into place as they want in the order they deem fit. I used to put love first until the day my Ben bolted away leaving me in the hands of the General Service Unit in his house after him and his fellow students went on strike in their polytechnic. Little did he know he was running straight into danger. The next thing I saw on that day was his powerless self being bundled into a police Land Rover. If only he stayed behind and protected me on that day! Maybe the slaps I received then could have been prevented.

Anyway, like I said, that was the last time I put love ahead when hitting the relationship path and swapped it with protection. That’s also the last time I dated a student struggling with life to the extent of living in a house whose door could be sent flying with one single kick. If your door can be kicked open, my friend, don’t fall in love with me.
