A tragic affair...
Is it just me or does everyone think do unto others is a really good motto to live by?
If you’re a single woman on the Sunshine Coast and you’re over 35, apparently the joke statistic is increasingly true - you’ve got more chance of being hit by a terrorist bullet than finding a good man.
The Queensland government says women make up 51.3 per cent of the population. Bad news. Not only that but reports suggest internet websites are increasing filled with married people - men and women who are just looking for a bit of fun, checking what’s available, whether they’re interested in a relationship or not!
Affairs are a fact of life, but I thought an email I got this morning was worth sharing – just in case you’re thinking of indulging.
A woman (who wants to remain anonymous) wrote to tell me she’s been through two marriage break ups and has two children, aged 17 and 14. She says she finds it impossible to meet men and that married people on dating websites make her sick!
According to her email, this woman has a friend who has just met a bloke on a dating website and guess what? He’s married. Despite numerous warnings, her friend says she’s not concerned that he’s married and just says ‘you can’t break up a happy marriage’.
All that is probably pretty old news – nothing out of the ordinary. But this is the bit that really got my attention. The author of the email told me her 17 year old daughter overheard the conversation about the married man. Later on, she asked her mother if the married man had any children. Upon hearing that he actually has two children, both of them at a private school on the Sunshine Coast her daughter responded, “Well someone should call those kids and tell them to prepare for a new step mother.” She said, “ ….they should start saving now because they’ll be buying their own car and they might as well say good bye to their friends because they probably won’t be at their private school very long either….”
Still think an affair is such a good idea?
