.....She Don't Wanna Be Saved

A story was recently related to me about this young man, and his trials and tribulations with his new/probably should have never been bride. I have never met this gentleman, but his story was told to me in rather intimate detail. He recently met and married this girl who is an Hispanic immigrant. She is in her early twenties, and has a 3 year old child from a previous relationship. She was working in the US, a blue-collar, hourly wage job as many first generation immigrants do when they first arrive. I can only imagine the circumstances under which he met her, but as you will see as this story unfolds, I'm sure there were signs everywhere just waiting to be read, and our poor protagonist, like so many before him, was illiterate.
Cut to a few months after the wedding, a scene in the bedroom. The new bride, perhaps in efforts to spice up their already sagging sex life, (which in and of itself is terrible after only a short time being married), she begins to make sexual requests. Much like being at a party on the dancefloor, once you get tired of hearing the same songs on repeat, you ask the DJ to spin some of your personal favorites. In this case, her sexual favorites ran into the bizarre. Requests ranged from mid-coitus punchings in the stomach, to violent face-slapping. Of course, the groom complies, however reluctantly. "I feel like a weirdo" he remarked to his friend as he was relating this episode.
He feels like a weirdo?
This same young lady, upon being notified of her new husbands deployment with the military that will take him away from home for a while says to him in broken english, "Use condoms if you cheat on me."
"That's hot..." he remarks to his friend once again. "She's mad cool about that kind of stuff..."
I would like to meet this young man, so that I could punch him in his stomach.
This kind of shit is precisely why girls think boys are idiots. I guess he was so turned on in the heat of the moment, he didn't stop to ponder how a young lady would discover an interest in such things as being beaten during sex.
Or the corresponding number of men with which she likely slept before encountering one who was so intending to punch her in her stomach, whereupon she discovered that she enjoyed being degraded during sex.
Or the fact that any wife who effectively gives her consent to her husband cheating on her, is most definitely doing the same to him, regardless of his efforts to rationalize the opposite.
The moral of the story is this: she was an immigrant girl, trying to get by with a small child, who felt so comfortable with a young, silly American-male that she hardly knew, that she decided to marry him.
The signs are everywhere, just take a moment to read them, and save the world the trouble of having to deal with the consequences....
Don't save her.

What's so sad about this whole ordeal is that he married her. With his first and only pick of the draft of Life, the only person you get to add to your life, you pick a ovary-bearer, (you have to earn the right to be called a woman these days) who wants to be beaten, and cheated on. That's beyond not being able to read. The boy was blind.

Or perhaps Singleton, he wasnt blind at all, just as untrained and ill-advised as her. perhaps he didnt have a daddy that told him under any circumstance its never ok to hit someone, and if she asks, walk away because thats not the woman you want your daughter to copy or your son to know. maybe he didnt have a father to tell him when you chose a wife you arent only in the union together but you always have God in between you, it was He who you took vows in front of and no where in all the words of the Bible does He ever say its ok to beat up your wife and disrespect the household with baggage of other woman you've layed with. Maybe his mother never was around enough to show him how a woman is supposed to carry herself. How she should never put up with the bullshit of being away serving the country and allow her man to cheat, let alone suggest it. Men should know that the woman you chose to connect yourself to for life shouldbe one that can balance maturity and reality seamlessly at times. One that you wont be afraid to leave alone with your kids because you never know what horrendous will leave their mouths or habbits they will copy
