"Faking Amnesia"

  I am a woman of many friends, me sef know and on the contrary my husband is a man with very few acquaintances, his life is extremely simple. In the event of a family get together, my crew is more than enough to cover for his inadequacy. Well let"s put it in another way, I complete him inl that aspect, even though his acct balance has to constantly face a reduction all thanks to "asoebi" things. I really need to start curtailing spending in that regard o, Biko it's a new year. We must start our building project this year, my friends had better not be angry, me sef one do house warming.
I was in one of my outlets one beautiful afternoon, when an old school mate of mine came shopping; Oluyale I yelled, we hugged, exchange contacts and by the next Saturday being the very friendly person I am, I landed at her house. My husband thinks I actually died of lack of friends in my first life so I decided to acquire as much as I can in this present one and my kids think the same, Na them sabi, I am just expanding my network *I love defending my actions I know*. To my greatest surprise, Yale was married to our school mate Dipo and that was surprising, wow because they were not exactly friends when we were in uni, I remember her not wanting to hang out with us every time we had to go chill. Hmm and I remember Dipo being an extremely flirty flirt. I needed to hear all about how they hooked up. She began the gist but to my amusement, she hated the marriage, She wishes she could turn back the hands of time (I forgot to add I could be blunt and annoying sometimes ) she complained of how she stays at home, how the club is his home, I really wish I had not visited, she was beginning to bore my life, more like a broken record, then she began to cry and then I knew she was seriously not just whining. I placated her for a bit, told her to be strong for her children and continue to pray for him. There's nothing God cannot do I told her.
I pondered on the issue while having dinner and I just thought to myself, Dipo is not to blame ithis case after all Yale was very aware of his cassinova hobby before saying I do, there's nothing he's doing now he did not do in full swing while in uni, Is just like my husband making a big deal out my love of acquiring friends, the first question anyone should ask him is if he is suffering from amnesia. Yale probably decided to marry him because of some kind of pressure whether from family or the environment, well maybe she was just tired of bearing her father's surname or she just might have fallen in love with the hope that he would change. Well I know people especially the male specie do not change just like that but while waiting for him to change to the Prince Charming you originally could not chill to have PLEASE DO NOT FAKE AMNESIA and paint your partner a bad picture, instead find a way to make it work, it really cannot be that bad there must be a positive side that you can dwell on while waiting for the miracle. I would definitely visit her by the weekend and lecture her straight from my heart, she knew what she was getting into, why is she now forming blind bat, my husband tapped me as he realised I was lost in thought and he said "honey what's going on? Have you brought another of those "asoebi's" home again and looking for a way to inform me? I smiled, don't worry he said, I understand that's my baggage and I would gladly carry it but please don't add hypertension to the list. We both laughed it off.
