Sugar Cubes

No this is not inspired by Issam’s topic about second chances.

It happened that I heard of a man who in the meantime is getting a divorce from his ex-wife, they’ve been married for about 10 years. The same guy is also living the sweetest love story nowadays, he’s extremly happy, simply put he’s so in love. Nothing is sweeter than two persons in love but thats not why I’m writing this. The question I asked myself after hearing about that guy is, why women are not given second chances? Why are they always the giver and never the taker?

You may think my questions are irrelevant but they are totally relevant, valid and it makes sense to think about them. In our culture divorced men have no problem marrying again, not only just marry but fall in love and perhaps marry a much younger woman than themselves. Divorced women…well, don’t get me started.

A non-virgin guy will have a normal life, get married and have kids (I’m not against that I’m only pointing out the double standards!). A woman who committed adultery or even if she was raped is basically a dead-woman (that is if her family did not kill her to cleansen their honor).

No second chances for women, sometimes no first chances either.
