Dear Dad,
During the time that I was cleaning and sorting out things at our bodega, I happened to pickup my very old letter to you in 1993. Inserted in it was a magazine cutouts. Am sending this back to you as a reminder.....................
A REPENTANT HUSBAND SPEAKS
-------------------------------------------------------
DEAR MR.&MRS,
IT IS IRONIC THAT YOUR ARTICLE ON HUSBAND
SNATCHERS WOULD COME OUT ON MOTHERS DAY, A DAY THAT
USED TO BE A HAPPY OCCASSION IN OUR FAMILY, UNTIL I
SUCCUMEB TO THE CHARM OF A TEMPTRESS.
NOW OUR FAMILY LIFE IS IN SHAMBLES, MY
WIFE HAS LEFT ME,NEVER TO RETURN,AND OUR KIDS HATE ME.
I AM WRITING YOU THIS LETTER HOPING THAT YOU WILL
PUBLISH THIS, SO THAT FOOLS LIKE ME CAN LEARN A LESSON
FROM MY EXPERIENCE.
I WAS FAIRLY A SUCESFUL EXECUTIVE IN A
WELL KNOWN CORPORATION.I HAD A VERY LOVING WIFE WHO
WAS SUPPORTIVE, A GOOD WIFE & MOTHER. WE HAVE THREE
BEAUTIFUL CHILDREN WHO HAD FINISHED COLLEGE AND ARE
STRIKING OUT ON THIER OWN. I HAD EVERYTHING GOOD GOING
ON FOR ME, INCLUDING A PROMOTION THAT WAS PROMISED TO
ME. THEN I MET A WOMAN, AT LEAST 20 YRS. MY JUNIOR.
SHE WAS SEPARATED FROM HER HUSBAND AND IS SUPPORTING
HER FOUR CHILDREN AS A SECRETARY IN ONE OF THE MAKATI
OFFICES. FROM THE TIME I MET HER, SHE NEVER DIGUISED
HER ADMIRATION FOR ME, OPENLY FLIRTING AND CATERING TO
MY EGO.
MY VANITY WAS TICKLED.I AM AT THAT AGE
WHEN I AM VULNERABLE TO A WOMANS FLATERY. SHE CATTERED
TO MY EGO AND MY MACHISMO,ASSURING ME THAT I AM VERY
DESIRABLE AND EVERYTHING SHE WANTED IN A MAN. IN NO
TIME AT ALL, SHE WAS MY MISTRESS AND I WAS IN CLOUD 9.
IMAGINE, AT MY AGE I AM STILL DESIRED BY A MUCH
YOUNGER WOMAN!!!!
I ENDULGED HER AND GAVE HER ALL SHE
WANTED.. IN THE MEANTIME, I WAS NEGLECTING MY FAMILY
AND WORK.WORD SPREAD AROUND, AND MY FAMILY FOUND OUT
MY LIASON.I DID NOT CARE- TOO ENGROSSED PLAYING THE
YOUTHFUL LOVER. BY THEN, MY MISTRESS WAS MAKING MORE
AND MORE DEMANDS ON ME, MY TIME AND MY POCKETBOOK. I
HAD TO UNLOAD SOME OF MY INVESTMENTS,DRAW FROM MY
SAVINGS, SELL SOME OF MY PERSONAL PROPERTIES TO BE
ABLE TO SUPPORT TWO FAMILIES. I HAD TO BORROW FROM
FRIENDS & FROM MY COMPANY.
THE PROMISED PROMOTION DID NOT
MATERIALIZED BECAUSE MY SUPERIORS STRONGLY DISAPPROVED
OF MY LIFESTYLE. SOON I WAS IN THE COMPANY FREEZER AND
I HAD TO RESIGN.WHEN MY MISTRESS REALIZED THAT I COULD
NO LONGER INDULGE HER IN THE STYLE SHE WANTED, SHE
MADE MY LIFE MISERABLE FOR ME. SHE NAGGED ME
ENDLESSLY, MADE MORE AND MORE DEMANDS, UNTIL I
REALIZED SHE WAS GLAD TO GET RID OF ME.
IT WAS NOT MY LOOKS, MY MACHO EMAGE
SHE WAS AFTER, SHE WAS AFTER MY POCKETBOOK. I MAY BE A
WISER MAN NOW, BUT ITS TOO LATE, WHEN I SHOULD BE
ENJOYING THE SECURITY OF MY FAMILY IN MY OLD AGE, I AM
ALONE, TIRED AND BROKE. I CANNOT GO BACK TO MY FAMILY
BEC. THEY DONT WANT TO HAVE ANYTHING TO DO W/ ME. I
DONT BLAME THEM,I HAD CAUSED THEM SO MUCH TEARS, HURT
AND HUMILLIATINS W/C IS TOTALLY UNDESERVED. I HAD NO
REASON TO DO WHAT I DID. THERE IS NO FOOL LIKE AN OLD
FOOL, AS THE SAYING GOES...... I AM ONE HECK OF A
FOOL.
I HAVE SINCE BUSIED MYSELF W/
RENEWED INTEREST IN RELIGION. I KNOW I HAVE TO MAKE
AMENDS TO OUR LORD FOR MY SINFUL PAST. I WILL NOT
MENTION MY NAME IN DIFFERENCE TO MY WIFE & CHILDREN.
BUT I AM REAL, W/ REAL PROBLEMS.I KNOW THAT THERE ARE
COUNTLESS MEN OUT THERE LIKE ME.MEN WHO ARE FLATTERED
TO HAVE YOUNG MISTRESS FORGETTING THAT THESE WOMEN ARE
IN THE SITUATION FOR THE MONEY IT CAN BRING THEM.
"NO DECENT WOMAN WILL SLEEP W/ A MARRIED MAN.
ONLY THOSE WHO ARE THERE FOR THE MONEY" .....THANK YOU
VERY MUCH FOR READING THIS LETTER & HOPEFULLY YOU CAN
GET THE MESSAGE ACROSS. THAT IT IS NOT WORTH IT, THIS
THING OF HAVING A MISTRESS.
SINCERELY,
JAY
Sweetheart,
the above letter speaks for itself and needs no further comments. I would like to express my appreciation to the writer who, in sharing his sad experience has rendered a service to other spouses and to society.
No amount of sermonizing and citing of figures and facts can quiet equal the impact of personal experience. May there be more courageous, honest and selfless men like him & women too,,,,and,,,,,may his wife & children and other spouses and children who have similarly wronged by either father or mother, and have sinced sincerely repented, have it in thier hearts to forgive, for as we all know,,,,To sin is human, to forgive is devine.
Please feel free to pass this to your crews, it might be of great help to them. Thanks, have a nice day my Love!!!
Missing you so much!
Amie
Please share us your views,,,,,,thanks!
