Why you shouldn’t share a man

Why you shouldn’t share a man

By VANESSA E CHAMBERS 

The average man on the street will tell you that the ratio of women to men is about nine to one, and so a woman should be happy she has a man even if she has to share him. But what woman is going to be happy with sharing her man, worst of all if she is his self-proclaimed number one?

The wifey verses matey battle has been fought by many women since the dawn of time, and nowadays it gets played out almost on a daily basis on social media, as you see videos posted of women fighting over men. It’s a serious fight for the women but often turns out to be mere entertainment for those viewing.

And at the end of the day, nothing gets resolved as the only thing that is proven is how far a woman will go for her man, a man who really doesn’t care for either one as he might just be that voice you hear in the background of the video saying “leave them, let them fight”.

These women are so pumped up on “I’m his woman and I’m going to beat you up until you see it” juice, and they are so blinded by the man’s love they don’t realise that if the man truly loved either one of them he wouldn’t let them fight and make fools of themselves for the world to see.

A lot of women are going through identity crises in relationships. It’s as if once the man says I love you, they lose all their bearings and forget that their foundation as women should be self-worth. They forget that their self-respect plays a major role in how they get treated by their men.

If a man knows that you are a woman of high standards who won’t settle for being a number in his life, he will think twice about messing with you. But if he sees that you are like a board house in a storm he will have his way with your heart and mind quite easily.
