The Single Married Man

There are men who are married, but apparently don't know they are married. Or maybe they know, but they don't really care that they are married. I think it's the latter. I'm sure that everyone and their mama has heard about cheating married men. Everyone probably knows at least one cheating married man. I don't know if every woman has been offered the position of mistress in the life of a married man.

A little while ago, I was offered that position. A very young married man offered me the position of mistress in his life. But he was kind enough to say that I should not worry about his wife because I have him (and I guess she doesn't?), that he would let me get married when I'm ready to, and that while he's not rich, he would still take care of me.

I was shocked. It was not the first time I was approached by a married man. It was, however, the first time that a married man clearly stated his marital status and his intentions for me. To further convince me, he told me that no man can stay with one woman because men are naturally polygamous. If God cannot give me a faithful man, then I'd rather be single for the rest of my life. That's what I told him - among other things. I still stand by it.

That said, the Verastically Speakin' Talk Radio resumes its regular schedule this Saturday. Are you excited? It appears I'm a bit nervous. Or maybe just overly excited. I even forgot to put up the weekly poll. Tune in this Saturday at 10am U.S. Eastern (3pm Nigerian Time) to listen to us live. Mustapha will be bringing his A-game on as my honorable co-host. You don't want to miss this.

Of Course, You May Get Divorced

But....

You must refund my money! I have attended a lot of weddings. I am shocked and perplexed whenever someone tells me that he/she has never been to a wedding since they came to America donkey years ago. Each year, I attend at least three weddings.  Attending weddings can be expensive, depending on who the couple is and your participation level in the wedding. Let me break it down. The boxes represent the cost.

Category	Wedding outfit	Asoebi	Gift	Money to throw while they’re dancing	Misc.	Total
Going as part of the wedding party (bridesmaid/groomsman)
Going as a family member
Going as a close friend
Going strictly as a guest
Going as a guest’s guest

In case you did not notice, going as a guest's guest costs nothing --- unless you want it to. I have attended weddings as all of the above, and attending as part of the wedding party has been the most expensive for me. It's understandable. I'm not complaining (about the financial cost).

The problem is that the divorce/separation rate among Nigerians has been on a steady rise, and I take personal offense to it. Why? Because I spent my money to attend their wedding, damn it! I look left, right, and center, and people are getting divorced, separated, or being given eviction notices from their matrimonial homes.

Henceforth, I am stating publicly: If I attended your wedding and spent a dime for/at it, you may get divorced, but at the time of your divorce, I want a complete refund of all my money --- plus interest.  Gbam! Let no one say I did not say it.

*** In other news, Verastically Speakin' Talk Radio would be making a bold come-back on Saturday, September 18th at its usual time (10am U.S. Eastern/ 3pm Nigerian Time). We'll be talking about the Single Married Man. Mustapha will be co-hosting. Set your reminder.

*** In other, other news, I saw the movie Piranha yesterday, and I am now a firm believer that there does exist something more ferocious than the fury of a woman scorned. The way that man's penis was chewed and spat out, Lorena Bobbitt was just an appetizer. The preview is below.
