The other day while I was at my hair dresser, I happened to over hear the most disturbing conversation. Apparently the hairdresser’s friend called her to vent (as we girls sometimes do) about her boyfriend. Now her ‘boyfriend’ is married but separated from his wife. He and his girlfriend now have a child together. She needed some money from him to help with the child’s medical bill but he said he had no money because; he has to pay his wife’s rent and buy food for that house. This is from a man who uses the girlfriend’s car and sometimes take the wife around in it.
This may seem like common sense but what is she getting from that relationship? Why does she put up with all this craziness? Obviously financially this man is no help even though he sleeps in her house and eats her food. Why doesn’t he go and be with his wife since he’s paying rent for her place and buying food for her house? I did not get into the people’s business to find out if he had children with the wife but regardless , why do women put up with such things?
I have come to the conclusion that Jamaican men treat Jamaican women the way they do because they put up with it. If they did not, then they would have to shape up. Listen, we women are in charge. They need us more than we need them. My advice to Jamaican women is; he sleeps out, leave him; he hits you, leave him; he’s cheating right in front of your face, leave him. Until we stop putting up with their garbage they will continue to be disrespectful simply because they can get away with it.
