She sat by her sick husband, James, he was all cold and shivering.

Beatrice: Babe how you doing, seems it's getting worse.
Do we go to the hospital?
James : No dear, am finnneee
Beatrice: Am all set with the girls to go out, we planned to go with you but guess we would go alone.
We could stay back you know....
James - No babe, I would be fine.. I know it's important you be there, you've planned weeks for this..
Beatrice - Sure we shouldn't go to the hospital??
James : Am good, would just be here till you're back.
Beatrice : Okay babe,
I would ring u to see how you doing OK??
James : Yeah.. when would you be done?
Beatrice : I don't know, we have so much to do. Might take a while.
James - Oh okay, take your time and have fun....call me before coming okay? Love you.
He pecks on her cheeks as she stands to leave.
Beatrice: Okay babe.

She shut the doors behind her .
Immediately James is up and smiling, takes his phone to text a girl called Linda.
Few minutes later, a knock was heard, it was Linda, he embraces her, offered her a seat, and walked to go get a drink.

James : Here you go... He stretched to give her..
Linda - Thanks with a smile.

They were gisting and all, all smiling and being intimate in a way.
Checking his phone for a call...

Then the door opens, and Beatrice walks in alone.
She caught them together, her ill husband was all strong.
Then it occurred to her it was all pretence to stay home.
She runs out in tears.

Beatrice and James were the sweetest couple, literally one could say they were meant for each other, the way he looked at her,held her hands while they go out on dates.. Their love was with fire even after their two daughters. everything looked so perfect. No one could suspect a thing with James, he was a loving father and husband.

What could have gone wrong ??

If you ever had someone you truly love, that you thought he/she would never cheat on you and they cheat,it breaks you, you feel the pain in your body.

Lots of things going through your mind..
Sometimes the only thing you could think of is putting the blames on your self.
You assume it's all your fault, maybe you weren't enough.
You begin to ask yourself questions that would only hurt you.

But you should know that, when a person cheats on you, it reflects much of who they truly are.
Know that them cheating on you is their reflection of their insecurities.
they should know they actually cheated on themselves out of true loyalty.

I mean why cheat on someone who could do anything for you?
Why throw diamonds to pick up stones?
Its so wrong.

Cheating can be in different ways.
You don't have to kiss or have sex with someone before you say you cheated.*

As you read above,James wasn't caught in bed with Linda, he was simply gisting and holding her.

Cheating can be in the messages you hide to delete so your partner doesn't see.
You might not see it as cheating but it is.
If truly James was innocent,he would have told his wife..he secretly sent the text and deleted it. To show it has been happening without her consent. it doesn't happen over night. Those deleted messages are like seeds in cheating.
The more you go deep, the faster the grows.

Cheaters never admit they cheated till they are being caught.
People that cheat don't cheat because they don't have respect for their partners but they cheat because they don't have respect for themselves.

In addition...

Never let people's insecurities change your mindset about yourself or about love.
Love is wonderful. It changes us for the better if you truly value and understand it.

If you're ask why you love?
Ask why they live in a community...

That should summarize the essence of love.

Besides its our human nature to love and be loved.

Love can happen anytime and anywhere.

It could be love towards family, friends,spouse and pets.
Don't conclude love is overrated simply because you were cheated on..
Don't stop loving instead love deeper.

Thanks for reading.
