ARE THERE STILL GOOD MEN OUT THERE?

Bimbo and Femi met about 8 months ago and they seem to be making good progress in life (smiles). Bimbo has not exactly had a good experience with guys and in fact she has given up on guys. However, she is beginning to have a rethink because of Femi. They have been friends for 8 months and they have dated for 4 months. From everything that has transpired between them, Femi is a great guy and he appears different from all the guys that Bimbo has ever met or dated. However, Segun (Bimbo's ex boyfriend) was like that when they first started dating. They dated for 3 years and he was really good for about 2 years. It was in the 3rd year that he began to misbehave and finally broke up with her few days to their introduction. 

Who breaks up just before an introduction? Like who really does that? This was devastating for Bimbo. She had experienced a lot of break ups but this one was the worst of all. She almost ran mad and gave herself a heart attack but thank God for God and her parents. She was just beginning to overcome the fear of the relationship not working out which is what led to the delay in introducing Segun to her parents. But what happened? She received a heart break not long after this fear appeared to have gone. 

Bimbo's parents were really upset about Segun's action and if they had their way they would have punished him for what he did to their daughter. Bimbo could not eat or sleep well for days and this was a big worry for her parents. I mean every parent would be worried for their child if they find themselves in the same situation. They knew such experience could be painful but they really didn't want their daughter to kill herself over a man. Bimbo was encouraged by her father who told her that it meant that Segun wasn't right for her and that the right man would come soon. Bimbo wasn't going to have any of her dad's speech until he reminded her of his story - 

Bimbo's dad got married at the age of 40 not because he really wanted to but because he suffered in the hands of many ladies. The final one he thought was right for him and different from others also jilted him. She went with another man because he had more money than Bimbo's dad and because he had promised to take her abroad. The funniest thing is that Bimbo's dad later discovered that she was pregnant for this other man even while they were dating. This was a painful experience for him but he was glad that she broke up because it would have been worse discovering after the marriage that she was carrying a baby for another man.

Another good side of the story is that not too long after the woman left, he found Bimbo's mother whom he describes till today as "the best gift from God". They have had different challenges because of their differences but each time he sees her, he is filled with joy and has no regret that he got married to her. After reminding Bimbo of the gift of her mum to him, he made her realise that there are still good men out there and that in due time she would be found by the right man because his prayers cannot be in vain. 

Could it be that Femi was/is the right man that Bimbo's father has always prayed for? We shall find out next week.

Thank you so much for stopping by and we look forward to seeing you next week. 

OneLove,
