The Handwriting on the Wall
A
while back, a young lady called me. She was very upset. In fact, she was
literally in tears. Her boyfriend had finally called it off, and she was
absolutely devastated. I did all that I could to comfort her and reassure her
that everything was going to work out all right. The thing was this. I already
knew this day was coming.
The
young lady had been giving me calls for the past few months. She had been
confiding in me about the problems that she and the young man had been having.
And, for me, it was as plain as the nose on my face that things were not going
to work out. She was a nice girl. She was pretty. She was working hard to get
her education, and she was trying to motivate him to do the same. But, he
simply wasn’t as gung-ho as she was about anything. He wasn’t as serious. While
she wanted to settle down, he wanted to continue to play around.
I
tried to warn her gracefully, but she just didn’t seem to get it. She was
always finding a way to justify his behavior. But, the handwriting was on the
way. Of course, I am a pretty good bit older than she is, and as the saying
goes, “I been there and done that”. So, the break-up was no shock to me.
Well,
I said all of that just to say this, “Wake up, ladies. Wake up.” Stop fooling
yourselves. When he is not treating you the way that you should be treated…when
he has checked out emotionally…when your heart starts whispering that he is
being unfaithful…listen to your heart. Listen to your guts. Don’t close your
eyes. See the handwriting on the way. Be aware that he is cheating. Be aware
that he is getting ready to leave you. I recently wrote an eBook called, Hey Sista,
Practical Advice for Women. It is sold on Amazon. In it, I give the warning
signs of an impending break-up. Learn the signs. Watch the signs. Follow the
signs. Guard your heart!
