Earlier this week, we heard from Lena who shared her story about how she came to be someone's mistress, knowing very well that she could never lay claim of him.
Now on the other end of the spectrum is the lives of family members affected by the actions of an unfaithful spouse. A mother and daugther pair share their stories of having to share a man with a third party.
(*Lena and Jane's stories are by no means related.)
In the past, if a man was proven good; a few women will marry him. Real life stories that two or more sisters from one family married to the same one man were not only common but TRUTH!
Just that we are thinking that we are independent in knowledge, finance, economics and other aspects; we change everything.
In the past, there was no need to fear that someone grows old. The family members will look after that someone. Of course, that someone comes from a large and extended family.
All this seems to stem from a change in mind-set. Since the the women's charter was passed in 1965, a man is only allowed to have one legal wife. Hence this legal wife and her bratful daughter wants to lord it all over any other woman the husband may care about. It all about herself and the same about the daughter - it's all me, me, me.
Have they given any thought about her husband/father? Is he not a good and kind man. Does he neglect his wife and daughter? Is it wrong for him to show care for another woman and her sons? Is it .....
