Men having side-chicks is no longer a secret but a common practice all over the world. It is often said that for every three men, two are having side chicks. It doesn’t matter whether it is a politician, staunch church goers, or pauper; side-chicks is almost becoming a way of life for men of all caliber. However, what men don’t realize is that there is always a price to pay by keeping one and sometimes, that price can be a heavy one. Here are ten reasons why men should shelve the thoughts of having a mistress.

Extra Burden

There is nothing for free in this world and as much as you have been complaining of small, inadequate salary, your new catch will be looking at you to solve her endless woes including expensive hairdo (saloon), house rent, make-up, household goods, as well as paying school fees for her illegitimate children sired by different fathers. The result is that you will neglect your wife and children (your own blood) while you are busy caring for strangers.

The relationship may come to haunt you

Some women are known to be tricky and would do everything to ensure that they are pregnant for your children. They will then be demanding child support, check-up costs etc with ridiculous figures. Your persistent request to “remove that thing because I am married” may not bear fruit and she knows her plan very well, to survive off you.

Chances of you being treated with love portions are high

I tell you women; especially single women will do everything possible to capture and manipulate the man to be only on their side. This is because they have suffered enough either financially or in their search for good husbands. They will therefore, go to a sorcerer, bewitch you to become a zombie and forget anything to do with your family. Imagine your children sleeping on ugali with water while your concubine and her illegitimate children are eating delicious food, courtesy of you.

STDs Galore

Chances of you getting STDs from that mistress are very high. Remember these women must be sleeping with sleeping around with different men to service their needs. From HIV/AIDs, Herpes syndrome, Gonorrhea, Hepatis, Syphilis, name it, will be your problems to deal with afterwards. This is the time you will be crying in the toilet for your decision.

You will be depriving your wife the much needed love/sex

I belief that every woman wants enough love and sex from her husband. By having side-chicks, it means that you will be sharing that sex/love and thus, your wife is not getting all of it as she needs. This is augmented by the fact that unlike women, men have a limited sex drive and ego and cannot service more than one wife at a go.

You will be sharing that woman with different men…

Remember that woman you call your mpango does not only have to wait for you since you are not officially hers. She will date and sleep with different men as she tries her lack to get a “serious person”. This means that unlike your wife whom you will be “eating a lone” you will be sharing that plate with different strangers.

Your chances of being caught in the act are high……….

Keep in mind that the days of a thieve are 40 and the time your wife will get to know your rendezvous, and then there is high chances you will be left in disarray in regard to family matters. There is probability that your wife will pack and go, leaving you with the one year kid or your children losing trust in you.

You are likely ruin your reputation

This especially for those reputable men in the society. Once you have disagreed and your relationship has come to a sore note, she will start exposing your issues on social media and other places where all and sundry will see your dirty linen. Once people get to know your rendezvous with a side chick, despite being a married man, then you are likely to lose your reputation as man of the cloth, as a teacher, as a doctor etc.

You will not have time to waste on that extra-woman

If you don’t have to spend even with your own children, where will you find that extra time to spare for your new catch? If you have been unable to take your wife even for that simple out, because of time where will you find it for this new woman? This means you will be footing for her bills yet you don’t have sufficient time to “make use of that expenditure”.

Wasted time /Wasted resources

Despite how much time you may spend and how many resources (read money) you may use on your mistress, your legitimate people are your wife whom you paid dowry for and your children. Those illegitimate children you are caring for and paying school fees for will not call you “father” or even think about you once they graduate. That side chick will also throw you out once her mission has been accomplished.
