When I used to hear of men having sexual relationships with their maids or wife’s sister/cousin living with them, I used to be like, ‘that is crazy’. But when i started knowing of men or knowing people who actually know men who do such, I am now like ‘what the ....!’ i mean, it is more than crazy. It is disgusting and sad, very sad too.
Often times, neighbours are observant enough to notice even while the wife living under the same roof has not the slightest suspicion. Other than the man being absolutely shameless, i have been wondering what other factors could be responsible for such occurrence. Even with seemingly responsible men. Do we just take the easy route and blame it all on the devil? Hmm. A situation where the wife, for some reason has to leave home earlier than the husband and husband and help (maid or wife’s relative) are left alone at home, you really cannot have control over certain things. Things like what the girl chooses to wear while doing the small early morning chores. Remember it is still early and very likely she has not had a bath. Maybe it is a flimsy wrapper loosely tied round the chest or some other flimsy outfit. Of course, the man is a man and probably starts to see beyond the young girl and sees a pretty young waist moving temptingly in front of him. Young and firm boobs underneath a flimsy top, most likely braless too. Kids are too young to take note of some things. Even if, they have probably gone to school leaving oga alone with the help at home. Maybe the work place is still too far for madam to get home earlier than oga. Once again, the young girl help is the one who is home to open door and welcome oga when he gets back.
Madam gets home and is too busy to notice things around the house or to even listen to her husband’s gist of how his day went. Hmm. She forgets there is a likely substitute. A lot of people are quick to blame the wife and all, but let us be realistic, the way Lagos is wired, how easy is it for one not to have maids? And how easy is it for one to get jobs based on resident location? Sometimes, there are things that begin to happen and if it is not cautioned, may lead to this evil act kicking off which ones it starts, may not stop easily. What do i mean by this? The man may not have such intention from the start but if he encourages small unnecessary jokes between him and the young girl living with them, he may unconsciously find himself being too free with her and vice versa.
Yes, maybe a movie triggered this but truth is, these things happen. I may not be totally right but i think a few of the tell tale signs are when the help (young girl) has a sort of disrespectful attitude towards the husband. Most times it may be as mild as just pretending not to hear when oga talks to or calls her, thereby ignoring him. Another tell tale sign, could be a mild confrontational and overly confident attitude towards madam of the house from the help. Also, if the wife is observant, she might notice a few shared smile between the husband and the help when they think she is not looking. Like i said, all guesses. Maybe you responsible guys reading this want to help us with some more realistic and certain pointers one may notice if this kind of abomination is happening under one’s roof.
Its very easy for us to blame the hustle nd bustle of a city but if we are truthful to ourselves we shd all be more at home than at work or on the road. Women cant stop a man from cheating if he wants to but she can stop the one that is likely to happen under her roof.
ReplyDeleteMost Men are naturally born to cheat, u give HIM the slightest reason to do that, he would do it. Mind you,cheating does not necessarily have to come in a form of a relationship, it might b a fling that comes regularly. In the case of the HOUSEHELP, its a case of a constant fling, no emotions nor feelings are attached, its all about the sex sex sex. The truth is, if u looking for signs and signals btw them both you might not have a clue, cos the man's behaviour towards the maid in ur presence would be the opposite,d man would alws b shouting and lamenting on her when u there and when madam is gone they become Romeo & Juliet. In conclusion, the ball lies in the hands of the lady, no job,no hustle cums b4 your family......once you get your priorities right, no maid should be messing around with your man.
ReplyDeleteIf men can actually volunteer to help(did I jst say help?) Well, let's call it help for now, wit house chores, there wd hav bn no need for house help in d first place. I personally wil do evrythx to avoid taking maid. I can even go as far as enrolling my wards in boarding sch, bcos I tell U̶̲̥̅̊, d evils associated wit all these third party individuals, are countless.
