Another woman who is fed-up with her husband having a perpetual mid-life crisis adds:

“Let me ask you this: ‘Are we at war? Are you rescuing widows? Are there no men (single/divorced/widowed) left and you have to be the one to rescue all the single mothers out there? Is it your role to marry every starlet wearing a short skirt and too much make-up?”

Do men stop to ask if women want to be saved by another woman’s husband. Is that all a single mother can hope for – a married man?

From a religious point, of course, it’s more halal to get married than have an affair. But too many people use that as an excuse. Honestly, if a man could actually play fair, then maybe, things might work out.

On her part, the other woman should stop saying it’s “takdir” (fated) or “I didn’t ask to fall in love with someone’s husband.”

In other words, as a Syariah lawyer friend said, “You are asking us, along with the first wife, to sympathise with you on your plight, which basically involves ruining someone’s marriage, and you have the nerve to say it’s God’s will?”
