To Believe or Not? Friend or Frenemy?


Should you trust your friend when they tell you your girlfriend or boyfriend is a fake? Should you consider it jealousy or do you go ahead and believe them? How do you handle the situation?

James always kept an eye on his wife’s phone ever since his friend Timothy, told him he had spotted her in a compromising situation. He couldn’t divulge the details in case he was wrong but James was hell bent on finding the truth. He found nothing for the first two weeks and decided it was a bluff. He decided to surprise her and apologize for being such a dick the past two weeks. He got some beautiful flowers, got out of work some minutes before lunch and got to her workplace. He sat at a cafe just opposite their offices and called her up. Susan, his wife claimed to be so busy she couldn’t head out for lunch. A disappointed James got into his car and was about to head out of the parking lot when he spotted Susan get into a car right outside the office. 

Out of curiosity, he followed the car. He could make out a man in the driver’s seat but assumed it was a colleague. They stopped at a hotel in town and the driver got out. He went round the vehicle and opened Susan’s door. She got out and kissed him. James was dumbfounded! He watched as the two got into the hotel giggling. After 20 minutes of seething in anger in his car, he went to the receptionist and produced a 500 shillings note. She informed him that the two always came in during lunchtime and after 5 pm. They always got the same room and tipped her generously. James walked out of the hotel room angry that she had cheated on him. He was also sorry for not believing Timothy and asking him to mind his own business next time. 

Milly on the other hand was having the same problems. Her best friend Cate had informed her 3 weeks ago that her boyfriend was cheating on her with one of his workmates. Milly confronted Jack, her boyfriend, who vehemently denied the story. Milly and Jack started having problems and were at the edge of a divorce. Milly did not trust Jack anymore and Jack could not believe Milly thought he was a cheat.  They decided to visit a counselor only to discover that Cate was the problem. She thought Jack was too good a man for Milly. Surprisingly, she didn’t hesitate to tell it to their face when confronted by the two!

Based on this two scenarios and any other that could happen differently, do you trust your friend’s word or ignore? Do you hire a Private Investigator or do you take up the profession yourself?

    Nice one dear. One can really be torn between believing a friend or a partner, but personally I think if u respect your partner first even before the love, then such situations will be rare.

    I personally believe that there is always some truth to a rumor but one is innocent till proven guilty

The Helping Dilemma

image originally from http://www.buzzle.com I always stumble upon this mentally ill guy as I get out of our estate. I am going to call him Jack. As I rush back home from work, I am sure to meet him somewhere having conversations with himself. Sometimes I wonder, as I turn off the lights and get into my warm bed, where does jack sleep and is it consistent? As I wash my clothes during the weekend, does Jack have clothes to change into? As I get into that shower after a long day at work, does Jack even have water to drink? As I enjoy that expensive meal at a Porsche hotel, does Jack have anything to eat? When I go out to meet my friends on a Friday night, does Jack have family let alone friends?  My conscience is always fighting. On one part it wants me to buy Jack some food or a cup of tea, to bring him some clothes and shoes to wear, to get him into lodging and let him get a shower, the list is endless. The other one wonders whether Jack will accept the kindness ...

The Annoying Matatu Neighbour

Have you encountered an annoying ‘Matatu’ neighbor? Have you ever been the annoying one? Ever pissed off someone in the ‘matatu’? Have you been pissed off while travelling?  ‘Matatu’s’ and buses often force us to be neighbors. Friendly or not depends on so many factors. Most of the time the journey ends with no mishaps but this is not always the case. Well there is the noisy loud music and some radio station that is not in a language you understand. There is also a rude tout who definitely has your change in his back pocket but for some reason (you may never understand) holds onto your change. There is a neighbor who keeps staring at you like you are from outer space and especially if you are a lady in a miniskirt. He for some reason is either imagining you without it at all or, she is cursing you for having better legs than her. Another will not quit chewing loudly and when they talk on the phone you get baptized with most of the saliva. Another is still in the 18th century...
