A broken promise brings about a broken trust. If a promise is broken, then the trust that should have gone with it will not be seen anymore.
We make promises and never wish yo break them. Sometimes we are constrined to break them against our wishes. I know that some people do break promises and damn the consequences, but if you have a conscience, you can't just wake any day and decide to break any promise made to the one you care so much about. If one can just break promises without being sorry that he did, then he never made any promise in the first place. It was all deception. Maybe he or she just made that promise just to gain something, not because a promise should be made. But because some trust will be given as a result of the promise made.
Okay, let look at what we have for today.
Week 82:- Edition 02:- A Broken Promise*
*Have you ever broken a promise you made to a person?
The promise I made was meant to be kept, but when I noticed that we are no longer on the same page, I had to break it so as to move on. I had this guy in my life when I was younger and not married. We both promised never to leave each other because we so much love ourselves back then. But something happened that I had a rethink. I thought he was very serious with the relationship, but no. He just made the promise so as to get something out of the relationship. Little did I know that he had other girls flocking around him because he also made the same promise to them. I was heart broken when I heard it. I confronted him with questions that he was not able to answer instead he kept on lying the more to cover his sins. I had to walk away because I have a fragile heart and can be broken at anytime. I don't think I am ready to allow any guy to break my heart.
Why did you do that?
I did that to save myself from being hurt further. If I say that I will keep tommy own promise while he has broken his, then I will be hurt the more. I had to secure my heart first. After all, he is not the last born of men. We still have lots of them.
How did this affect your relationship? Are you both still close?
We had to go our separate ways. It was after that incident that I knew that he never meant his promises. He never cared that I left the relationship. He never turned back to beg for what he did. He also walked away. Not long before that time I saw him with different girls moving all over the place. Sometimes he will even bring them to where I am to show me that if I walk away other girls are still there. After several years that I got married I still discovered that he still moves around living the same life style. That was when I knew that maybe his village people swear for him that women must bring him down. In fact, he never achieved anything serious in his life. Because women were always there to eat up every thing good he made.
Though we still greet when ever we see ourselves, but not as friends. I don't make friends with people who don't have any destination in life.
