Married man bought me expensive underwear

-

Dear Pastor,

I have been in love with a man for three years; he did not know. It started when I was in my teens. The problem is, he is married.

One day, his wife asked my mother to allow me to babysit for her because she and her husband planned to attend an event. By that time I was much older.

My mother asked me if I wanted to babysit for them and I said yes. They went to the event and got back early, and they paid me $2,000 and thanked me.

When the man gave me the money, he squeezed my hand. They both carried me home. Another time, he called me on my phone and asked me my age and I told him.

He told me that I should not tell his wife or my mother that he called me. I asked him why and he said he would tell me another time.

He asked me when would be my birthday and I told him it had passed. He did not say anything. Last Christmas, this

Dear Y.E.,

The interestin­g thing about your letter is that you have been admiring this man since you were in your teens. This man is old enough to recognise that there was something about you that gave him the impression that you liked him. He suspected you, and you wouldn’t mind having him in your corner.

Perhaps he was the one who encouraged his wife to ask your mother to allow you to babysit for them.

When he was paying you, he squeezed your hand, indicating that he was interested in you. Too bad you did not say that to your mother.

The second thing is that this man knew that he had to do something special for you, so he ordered Victoria’s Secret panties for you.

You were glad to have them, perhaps to even show off to your friend that your man gave you these expensive underwear.

You went to see your father and when you came back, you told your mother that your father had bought the panties for you and had given you money.

You are fortunate that your mother did not call your father and express her disappoint­ment in what he did.

On the other hand, she might not have called him because she knew that he loves you and would not hold back in giving you anything that is good and lovely.

You are a young girl; bring an end to this relationsh­ip. Let the man bought me some gifts and asked me to pick up a parcel at his office.

I went there, took the parcel and went home. When I opened it, I saw six Victoria’s Secret panties.

I did not want my mother to see them, so I pretended that I was going to shop after going to see my father. I went to see my father and when I went home, I told my mother that my father had ordered the underwear for me. My mother asked how much money he gave me. I said $4,000. She said he should have given me more money instead of buying me “draws”.

I love the underwear the man bought for me; I even gave one to my friend. This man is always calling me and offering me things, but I am afraid of his wife. I really love him, but I don’t know what to do. He doesn’t want anyone to know that we have something going.

Y.E.

man stay with his wife. Tell him that you will admit that you like him, but the relationsh­ip between both of you is not healthy. Don’t take any more gifts from this man. If you do, this relationsh­ip is going to get stronger and it is likely that you will end up in bed with him.

Please be wise. If he sends you other gifts, send them back to him. Try and get yourself an education. That should be your number one priority.

Pastor
