I almost ruin a marriage!

They were the most successful dating mates in the school. They were a perfect match. Every lecture hall including the college's principal knew they were dating. They were found everywhere together in a manner everyone will have a cause to be jealous.

I was in first year and they were in second year. I was quite popular in school because as a freshman, I was almost involved in all forms of student activism and agitation. Nonetheless, I got closer to these enviable date mates through a colleague and classmate at the college. He knew the gentleman in the couple. The guy had a funny nickname that I so much like.

I suddenly became fond of the date mates particularly the gentleman. Wherever I cross him on campus, I will be shouting out his nickname, heckling him and obstructing him from going to wherever he was going to. It came to a point that when he sees me, he will start charting a new path to avoid my troubles. I played with him like my year mate or gay partner.

At a point I became closer to his girlfriend too. I transferred the gentleman's treat to her too. Even beyond campus, I played crazily with her when we meet. The lady will begin begging me for mercy wherever we bump into each other.

They eventually graduated and I still have the opportunity to meet them together outside campus especially at events. The crazy relationship I had with them was still intact. I really don't know but I had an unmoderated admiration for them - a handsome guy and an pretty affable lady.

After I graduated too, I became friends with the guy on Facebook and later his girlfriend. One day, his girlfriend uploaded her picture on Facebook and I came there to put my comments under it. I wrote "Wow, sweet babe, I miss your succulent lips".

Later in the day, I received a call from her. Her voice was down and sad. She said, "Confidence, your comment on my picture is creating problems for me. My sisters-in-law are very upset with the comment. And my husband is insinuating infidelity on my part." She was very sad and bit upset too. "I know we use to fool but you know we have grown now and a lot of things have changed in our lives. I suggest you speak to my in-laws or husband", she suggested.

Well, I felt very down. This is the last girl I will probably think of hurting consciously. She was more like my own fiancée. Even back at college when some of her friends thought her relationship with me was just too unrestricted as her junior, she was cool with it.

I sensed danger and I rendered an unqualified apology for my unintended mess for her. I was ready to do everything to return her credibility back to her husband and in-laws.

Quickly, I went back to the picture on Facebook and deleted my comments and apologised unreservedly.

I got in touch with her boyfriend whom I still play informally with. He told me they were no more on grounds of family difference. I felt sadder.

Thereof, I have been very measurable on the kind of comments I put on the walls of ladies especially when I'm aware that you are very married.


Eventually they both got married to the one God chose for them. Though I was prepared to lose my head to see them together. As we plan, God also plans and His plans are the best for us.
