Being Unfaithful -- Where Do People Get The Time And Energy To Do This?

Judy Ramsook
After listening to an eighties number by Oran Juice Jones titled I Saw You And Him Walking In The Rain, I began to think about people who are unfaithful to their mates.

I began to wonder about certain things such as all the time, and energy one would need to avail him or herself of in order to spend time with another while in an already committed relationship with some one else.

Filled with what could be humorous sounding lyrics and overtones, depending on what frame of mind one is in while listening to the song, lines such as: ‘Now close your mouth ‘cause you’re cold busted and ‘I bought you things you couldn’t even pronounce,’ the character in the tune does an effective job of scolding his lover, which brings me back to the thoughts, where do people get the time and energy to be unfaithful?

For in order to be unfaithful and totally discreet about it, one would have to engage in a bit of sneaking around. This would obviously involve going to places where you and your steady mate do not frequent for apparent reasons.

In addition, one might need to be an excellent liar. This will make his or her alibi seem all the more believable, especially when he or she tells his steady that he is working late or whatever reason he or she uses to spend time away from the home front. Moreover, the one who is being unfaithful might also need to have somewhat of a split personality.


For sometimes, it can be challenging enough for some one to be him or herself with his or her steady mate, so can one imagine having to wear a mask of honesty while being with the steady and or the one he or she is cheating with while he or she is being unfaithful?

If the law of Karma prevails, the wise thing to do is not to be unfaithful, especially if you do not want some one else dishing out the same formula to you somewhere down the road of your love life.

If some one is not happy in his or her present romantic relationship, it might be easier to just end it as opposed to spending all that time and energy it would take to be unfaithful. For no one takes pleasure in learning that his or her loved one has been unfaithful to him or her.

On a personal note, I have wondered about these people’s names. I have wondered if the one doing the cheating has ever subconsciously called his or her steady by the name of the person he or she is cheating with. Or do some people try to keep things simple by seeking out persons who have the same first name as their steady.

On another note, after one recovers from being cheated on, the infectious number by Oran Juice Jones might even be fun to listen to, more so since all the hurt and pain from being cheated on has long subsided.
