I am the other woman

I am the other woman. I am in a loving relationship with the man and I am sure he loves me as much as I love him too. This man is finding it hard to leave his wife for a reason best known to the two of us. She might hurt him or even kill him. However, he is not hiding our relationship away from either her or anybody. I already have a child for him and he has been very responsible for the upkeep.

He sees my child as his happiness and any attempt to ask him to go may be suicidal. Although he is not with us everytime, he does not abandon us. He calls all the time to attend to our welfare. He is sincere and responsible, the reason for staying with his wife. What matters in life is happiness hence no need to judge we, the other women.

A lot of us are Angels, carrying other people's burden on our shoulders, deriving joy in making others happy and giving hope to the hopeless. There is nothing in life to make it a do or die affairs. All is vanity. lol
