Flavor of the Month

I guess cheating is the in thing these days!

This week alone I got 3 cases happening with people around me. Excluding mine.

First is the story of a poor man who had to work in Manila to support his family in the province. His daughter confronted him because he was failing to do his duties as a father. The family was complaining that he is now missing his regular remittance. When confronted he didn't deny. At least in our first story, he openly admitted it. He was a cheat but not a complete liar. He admitted to sending money to the other girl justifying that he has needs thus he looked for someone else. That has got to be the worst excuse a man can ever give. You got needs???? And worst you need it from your wife's neighbor? Your excuse is not valid. But it makes it even more invalid when you cheated with someone as far away as your wife.  While he admit his mistake, he said nothing about ending it. He upped the game with,  the daughter should help him financially because at the end of the day the ones suffering are her siblings and mom. What an a*hole!

The second story is about a stay home husband. His wife is working abroad as a high ranking executive while he stay in the Philippines to care for their children (who are all adults) and their business. His wife regularly comes home to make sure the family is well. And sometimes he and the kids go to visit her. One day, His business partner broke up with his girlfriend and suddenly the girl was pregnant. When she gave birth, the kid was named in the same pattern as his kids. The family suspects he is the father but no one had the courage to really ask him.

The one that takes the cake is the cheater of cheated against her relative who fed and took her in when she was a nobody. Not only did she cheat on her as a woman but she also cheated to her as blood relative. That has got to be painful. Let's make it more dramatic. They cheated on her for years... nah... decades. When confronted. They denied. Then later bullied the victim. Palakpakan!  She left with guilt that maybe she really just suspected too much. Only to later find out the public instagram profile of the teenager daughter of the relative and her husband. Ouch! Decades of cheating. I know we aren't supposed to involve the kids. But by God. She's a teenager. She's proud of her mom. How can you be proud of a woman who caused her relative pain (not just any relative... someone who took her in when no one would).
