Forbidden Love
A close friend just called me to confide in me that her husband has confessed to having a girlfriend outside. I was taken aback because I have always known him to be the shy type and a Mr. Nice Guy.
It is sad but true that many couples that get together under what society or family might call ‘forbidden’ circumstances find that their relationship is stronger because of it. The hardship they suffer in the early days can bond them together in a special way and not having others to share their feelings which mean that they lean on each other. In the longer term, there’s also the knowledge that they put their love for each other first and a deep belief that love really can conquer all…..
If I have any chance to meet her husband or the other lady, I will tell them that there’s no denying that falling for someone forbidden can be a buzz. But you need to make sure you’re clear about what you’re getting out of it. Maybe you enjoy the thrill of taking risks or you like the reaction you get for being controversial? Ask yourself whether you’re in to the person for who they are and not for what they represent. If you’re not, chances are it won’t be lasting the full distance, no matter how strong the initial buzz is….
