The Heart’s Conflict

One quick question: why do people leave the ones they love and settle for the ones they don’t love, and then return to the ones they love after that, seeking another chance?

This has been one of the most disturbing issues all over social media. Those who are active on the streets of social media can attest to this, as a lot of people now share their experiences online, seeking advice. These cases would have been termed fictional, and maybe an attempt to gain audience, but the truth of the matter is that it is what plays out in our society.

Men, mostly, are the perpetrators of this particular act.

A man will leave the woman he has been in a relationship with, mostly for a long time, for whatever reason, marry another woman, and in a few weeks or months, he is back to the woman he left, shamelessly asking for another chance, or sometimes, even cooking up pathetic stories to make it seem like he wasn’t in his right mind when he took that step.

Among these is Sylvia’s story.

Recently, Sylvia’s boyfriend abandoned her for another woman. Out of the blue, he chose another woman as his wife and married her instead.

Then, a few months later, he reaches out to her.

He begins to fill Sylvia’s head with the sob story of his wife not satisfying him sexually; hence, he is unhappy in the marriage. As a result, he is back to Sylvia to seek the satisfaction that he craves. When he was still in a relationship with Sylvia, she always sent him pictures of herself naked, so what he wants now is for her to continue sending her nakedness to him.

Apparently, that would make him happy.

He is so desperate for it that he is willing to pay her the sum of fifty thousand naira for pictures of her breasts. He is not asking for sex, yet. He is not talking about getting back to Sylvia or wanting any form of commitment with her. His marriage is not even up to six months, and he is already feeling unhappy and unsatisfied.

He wants to be happy, and he has concluded that Sylvia’s nudes are his remedy.

Sylvia’s friend has advised her to accept the arrangement with her married ex-lover. At least, she could continue benefiting financially from him. Someone else is suggesting she agrees, collects the money, but doesn’t send the nudes.

Now, back to the question that was asked in the beginning, because I am yet to understand why this continues to happen amongst men and women, and it is fast becoming rampant.

Why do they leave the one they were with, marry someone else, and then go back to the one they left?
