Let me introduce our in-house nurse, Nurse Eve.
Nurse Eve
Hello everyone.
Dr. Adam
So, Nurse let’s get right to business, what are we dealing with today?
Nurse Eve
Well, there’s a case of infidelity
Dr. Adam
Sheesh! We can’t be starting with this na. It’s too early
Nurse Eve
*shrug*
Dr. Adam
sigh men are scum
Nurse Eve
Uhmm…I still think men are scum but the lady is the cheater here.
Dr. Adam
Wow, how shocking Rolls eyes
Tell me what the problem is.
Nurse Eve
Hi, Doctor Adam, I’d like to remain anonymous please. I have been dating my girlfriend for close to three years now and I loved her so much. Recently, I found out that she cheated on me with someone that I know. I was angry and I broke up with her even though she was begging. I later forgave her and we got back together because I still love her and invest so much in her. But the thing is that I am still deeply hurt by her betrayal. Whenever I look at her, I always picture her with that guy and I become angry. Please how do I get over her cheating. I really do love this girl and I want to make it work.
Dr. Adam
I can tell that this dude is a shrewd business man.
Nurse Eve
How so?
Dr. Adam
Well, because he doesn’t abandon his investment. Let’s face it, the only reason he got back with her is because he has ‘invested’ so much in her.
Nurse Eve
Er…he also claims he got back because he loves—
Dr. Adam
—because he loves her? He doesn’t love her. Ideally, love forgives; but we know he hasn’t forgiven her because he hasn’t gotten rid of the anger and resentment. Like I said before, he’s only back with her because…investment.
Nurse Eve
But he seems genuinely interested in making it work even though it might not be for love. What do you advice?
Dr. Adam
I think he should just cut his losses and do the Micheal Jackson moonwalk out the relationship. Obviously, the relationship is a bad investment.
Nurse Eve
I don’t agree with that.
Dr. Adam
You think he should continue in a relationship where his S/O does not respect him? He should continue in a relationship where he’s hurting? A relationship in which every loving gaze at his partner weirdly results in a mental porno film involving his partner and another man?
Nurse Eve
That’s not what I’m saying. I just think he got back in the relationship too soon. He should have given himself enough space and time to forgive her and expunge the sordid affair from his mind.
Dr. Adam
Nope, dump her ass. You don’t need the constant reminder that you are inadequate.
Nurse Eve
Goodness me! How do you know she cheated on him because of some perceived inadequacies?
Dr. Adam
Years of Study, Nurse. I didn’t become a doctor overnight.
Nurse Eve
You are not even a real doctor; you’re just an agony aunt.
Dr. Adam
It’s your aunty that will be in agony!
Nurse Eve
Smh…Dear Poster, please give yourself time and space away from your partner to heal and forgive your partner. More importantly, take the time and space to figure out where you want to go with the relationship.
Dr. Adam
Dear Poster, you seem like a sharp business man, count your losses and dump her. Now, if you need advice on the best way to dump her, I recommend you do it via Whatsapp so that you save #2 for text message. You can equally flash her, and when she calls you back, break up with her on her own airtime.
But if any of you good people reading this have other cost effective ways for him to break up with her—
Nurse Eve
—Or a better way for him to handle the situation—
Dr. Adam
Please do share in the comments section.
Nurse Eve
Till we come your way same time, next week—
Dr. Adam
Women are scum?
Nurse Eve
Where did you get your Doctor’s degree again?
Dr. Adam
You are fired!
