Torn and cornered from Mahikeng writes

Liewe Lulu

My girl’s best friend came to my house very upset recently after another incident of her bae cheating on her. This is not something that is out of the ordinary as we do hang out, and it is not weird for her to seek out my advice or my company.

My girlfriend farms and has a hectic schedule, which sometimes leaves me to take on the role as her friend’s interim bestie.

It was a usual venting session, only this time we ended up in bed together. I have been in love with my girlfriend since I met her five years ago. She is passionate and a solid 100/10. And I must say the fact that she farms is a bonus for me. I think women who farm are extremely sexy.

I am now caught between a rock and a hard place as her bestie confessed her feelings towards me and will not stop blowing up my phone.

This was a once-off moment of weakness for me if I am being honest. She was visibly upset, and I could not turn her away.

Interactions between my girlfriend, her friend and I have become awkward as well. I cannot look her in the eyes anymore.

I am torn.

Do I tell this woman who is the love of my life that I slipped up or do I avoid her best friend? I am scared she might also confess before I have the chance to fix my mistake.

My dearest Torn

Darling I simply must ask: How does one begin to cheat by accident?

Were you running locked and loaded?  Did you trip on a banana peel Tom & Jerry style and then “accidently” plummet into bed with her?

Balance me here because you have frankly left me unequilibrated, babes.

Of course, we are human and, yes, temptation is everywhere innit? But that does not mean you must give in.

The moment you felt a tickle in your nether regions you could have chosen to exercise self-control and say no to the temptress.

I don’t think you meant to cross this massive line. I am sure you never even thought about betraying your beloved but the moment an opportunity arose you went and grabbed it by the horns. The shrinks call it an unfettered impulse.

It happens and it is inexcusable. Let me school you my torn little lamb, you know secrets have a way of coming out in a bad way. I suggest you rather fix it before it comes out messy.

Clear your conscience before it eats you. If I were her, I would want to know that you cheated, and I would want to know it was with my best friend.

I would want to be aware of the betrayal no matter how painful it might be. I mean people will always show you who they are and when they do you have to believe them.

Tell her everything but skip out on the nasty details. Apologise, and grow some balls. Do not hide from your shenanigans. Learn from it and do not do it ever again. I am low key hoping she kicks your messy asses to the curb but that is just me. Sort your sh*t out, mate…

THE NEW FACE OF SOUTH AFRICAN AGRICULTURE

With 21 global awards in the first six years of its existence, Food For Mzansi is much more than an agriculture publication. It is a movement, unashamedly saluting the unsung heroes of South African agriculture. We believe in the power of agriculture to promote nation building and social cohesion by telling stories that are often overlooked by broader society.
