What is Wrong with Us Women?

I have a friend that I have known since my freshmen year of high school. Let's call her (Mia). Mia has been a relationship for the past 3 years to a man that she has been in love with forever.

Well, before they got together he had been a serious relationship with another woman but things ended badly. Or so we all thought. Mia recently found out that he has been cheating on her with that same woman! Nothing out of the ordinary because that is what some men do right? That's not the part that made me raise my eyebrow.

When she confronted him about the situation, he had the nerve to get upset with her. He didn't apologize nor did he deny the affair! Wait a minute... that's not the part that shocked me to pieces either. Are you ready for this? She loved him so much that she agreed to let him have this other woman as long as he came home to her every night!!!

Excuse me? I just gave her this look like she was the craziest woman in the USA. Wouldn't you? I mean would you as a woman in a serious 3-year relationship with the love of your life allow him to have another woman on the side? Especially after you have done everything in your power to make him happy? I know I wouldn't. It makes no sense.

Another situation that caught my attention is when a friend of mines had unprotected sex with this guy who is well known in our town as a “playa”. Yes, he is an attractive man with a lavish life style. However, is that enough to give him your body on the first night? Clearly it was for her.

Well, maybe 2 to 2 ½ weeks after their little rendezvous, she started feeling very weird. She said she was running a fever, she was weak and it burned horribly when she used the restroom. We went to the clinic to have her checked out and she was diagnosed with Genital Herpes! It's not a far fetched thought that the most gorgeous and wealthiest guy in our town who was with a different woman every time anyone saw his car roll by would have an STD.

I always said he was a “Pretty Bag of Diseases”, but I was only joking at the time. Well after she confronted him about the situation, of course he was nowhere to be found. He stopped calling her. He stopped coming around. It was like anyone who knew her didn't see him after that. I know I didn't. She was depressed for months. She was taking Valtrex and making frequently doctor's visits. It's like she was just ghostly for a while.

Then one day when we were out in “Toys "R" Us” and she ran into an old friend of hers from high school. She said he was her high school sweetheart but things didn't work out. They had started dating again, which was good because she was getting out into the world and enjoying herself. I knew that it would be hard for her to explain to him about her “situation” when and if it came down to that time when sex would come into play in their relationship.

Well, she never got the chance to tell him. I was so furious with her when she called me one morning and told me that she had sex with unprotected and that she couldn't bring herself to tell him about her medical issue. Not too long after that, just as I suspected he was diagnosed with the same thing after experiencing her same symptoms. She had the nerve to try to tell him that he had to catch from another woman and gave it to her! What is wrong with us women today? Have we no shame?

We complain about all the things men do when some of us are just as bad as them. A lot of women use the excuse; “Well they do the same things to us so why can't we do it to them”? It wouldn't make us any better than them, it makes us just like them. That's why. We have the choice to make the right decisions and we don't because we call ourselves trying to get back at men, or trying to be sneaky. Sometimes we even make the wrong decisions because we are just “settling” instead having what we really want like in the first situation I explained.

I just want to know what has been circulating through our lately that has us acting the way that we are and doing the things that we are doing. Do you know what's wrong with us?
