A Contracted Love Affair
June 18, 2008 Love has always been one of the catalysts influencing one’s perception of life. This becomes a basis when one answers I’m happy or sad if ask how’s life. The answer depends on what kind of relationship he had or is having. But how do those people see life; those involved in a contracted love affair? For those who knew that the affair is wrong from the start. Those who have accepted that the relationship is going nowhere yet risked. 
One may reason loneliness as a premise to his vulnerability to temptation. Indeed life abroad is not easy. Always confronted with the destructive feeling of isolation. Is it a scapegoat to involve in this kind of an affair? Even how rational these contracting lovers in making things clear between them they are always those who stay with hope. There are anticipations that one day their partner will choose them over the other. That’s where competition begins. What’s lacking with the real one will be given by the other. This in turn results to confusions and doubts. One may fall and worst leave the real one behind.
There are also instances where the guy stays committed to real one yet claims his love to the other one. Is he just confused or just being conceited? This is the painful event of the loving “kept-lover”. Better left hanging than left behind! Sometimes what the guy wants is just the reflection of his girl found in his “kept-lover”. Only loving the beautiful image found in her. Or the worst he is just making the ”kept-lover” his girl for the meantime.
“kept lovers” why allow it? Is it because no one has loved you the way he did or just because it was not an intention to fall, and you found yourself with no choice? They maybe are victims in this situation. Or they are just reaping the price of their stupid decision? A conspiracy ending up deceiving themselves that they are indeed victims. The situation becomes even harder when the guy needs to leave for good or the real girl comes along. What is then the setup? Waiting for spare moments of the guy? And being fooled with the gifts the guy gives, even it’s just a perfect alibi to satisfy his conscience? And convince himself he’s being fair?
Lovers will always have their own personal reasons why end up and stay with a contracted affair. The so-called time framed love story. A relationship brought about by lonesome lifestyle abroad. Or may it be a past time while the original is out, or a supplemental substitute of a real partner. Who are those who crave for it and those who risks? Who suffers the most those with original partners who confuse friendship with love? Those who allow being ”kept-lovers” and get left behind? Or the innocent legal one who are fooled?
Indeed life is perceived never been fair.
