A husband is like a chair

Nhlalwenhle Ncube

IN life there are certain difficult truths that are a bitter pill to swallow and one of them is telling your friend or sister that a man is a man and can be compared to a chair. Yes, you read that right, a chair!!! You are only 100 percent sure that he is yours when you are together, but never when you are apart. This is just as good as saying the chair is yours only when you are sitting on it!

This is something that when you think about it, it can break your heart. When it comes to love and sex issues, no one wants to entertain the idea that she is sharing her delicacy with someone, especially the part when you try to imagine the same mouth which kisses you and goes down on you doing the same thing to someone else. Just this thought can kill you and obliterate hopes of ever being in a happy relationship.

It is very healthy to have it somewhere in your mind that your husband can mean everything to you and make you the happiest person when you are together, but at some point when you are not around, he can be busy entertaining someone else. This then means there is no difference between your husband and a chair, as it is all yours when you are using it.

I decided to rub this issue in some people’s minds following last week’s feedback where I had a number of women declaring they will fight their husbands’ small houses, not the man because they are the ones who would have crossed their paths by having a relationship with a married man in a bid to lure him off the rails of a happy matrimonial home. The best answer for all those like-minded is to remind them that a man is like a chair, its purpose can be diverted to willing butts the moment you stand up.

Get it right, I am not even supporting men’s hopping around behaviour and the belief that when they have got one woman in their lives, it’s just as good as standing on one foot, and therefore they should balance by adding another girlfriend. This shows that the minute you stand up from your chair, someone else occupies it when you are away and keeps him entertained.
I know this comparison tallies men to helpless beings, who cannot help but occupy every butt without protest. Don’t get me wrong, I am trying to say like a chair men find purpose when they are always occupied in that context.

A number of women have committed suicide or did the unthinkable and ended up behind bars after discovering that their partners were cheating on them or when caught them red-handed. Such things do happen and it is part of life. Some even compare it to karma, stating that what goes around comes around, if you break a heart the same will also come to you. Talk of an infinite cycle.

A lot of hearts have been broken and are going to continue to be broken. People who fail to recover from heartbreaks are those who act as if they live in a certain planet, where it’s just her and the partner. Temptation to them is an alien concept let alone the foresight of a cheating man.

When it comes to cheating, do not even fool yourself that he will do it with a stranger all the time, but at times it’s with someone who is very close to you and has every detail about your relationship. At times, women unknowingly push their close friends to have relationships with their husbands as they tend to share too much. Does this sound familiar?? Keep on reading!!! There are many divorced people who unwittingly hand over their husbands to their cunning friends. If your man is good in bed, why should it be public knowledge. Why outdo Google with your private matters? There is no one who does not want to sit on a comfortable chair, so unfortunately when your friends, after all that juicy information, decide to have a feel of your “comfy chair” when you are away, it becomes addictive and they will want to sit as long as they can and eventually opt to fight for it.

I know of women who understand what I am talking about, in trying to deal with this issue, they have become so possessive and jealous resulting in constant check-ups on what their men are always up to. Sorry, that won’t save you from a cheating partner, in fact, the day you discover he is cheating on you, it will really tear you apart, because he would have played you for a puppet throughout the whole time. When you think you know about his whereabouts all the time, then it becomes double trouble the day you discover how much he lied to you. Yo do not need a whole day for someone to start cheating on you, it takes few minutes and he can be flirting with someone right in front of you and they just meet to complete their “private” business.

It is safe to consider this thought at some point in life that a husband is like a chair! Always love, but not always the most, and end up being hurt the most. Give it the benefit of doubt that he can cheat on you and it happens to anyone and you can also be a victim. Just leave space for disappointment.
