Just recently, I have encountered a very disturbing argument with this "guy". The argument is involving marriage, polygamy, adultery and yes...Religion.
The thing is I respect this guys wife so much and I treat her like my second mother, so I had to confront him about his mistress. Actually, the first step I did was to confront the mistress and I specifically told her not to mention anything about me knowing something...but then something changed and I felt like the guy already knew. I can't really escape the awkwardness since we are both living in the same house.
When I confronted him about this, he wasn't shocked. All my intuitions were confirmed. In fact, I think he had already prepared a speech for this scenario.
Words were scrambling, different point of views were brought out. The conversation I had with him started with raging words but at a soft tone, I was really nervous, shaking. I fear of what he might do to me because I haven't seen him get mad.
In the argument we had, he kept telling me that I was wrong..that I should just mind my own business. What I've been telling him the whole time was the only reason I intervened was because of Tita (his stroke patient wife). I respect Tita so much, that I'm willing to face and fix anything for her family and health. I just couldn't understand how he can't process the simple thing I've been trying to point out.
As we went on, the answer to my question popped out directly from his mouth. This "guy" believes that adultery is a good thing. He reasoned that the christian bible mentioned that polygamy is not a crime, but doesn't the bible also state that a person should be faithful and honest to the person whom he/she married through sickness and in health?
I have come to believe that this guys belief is totally messed up. He also mentioned that he do such things to help others. So help me out here people, will you. This guy cheated with his stroke patient wife and mistress. While living with his mistress in the same roof he managed to sleep with another girl who is the new "house maid". Oh yeah, the mistress is also a "house maid", and the house we're all living in is a property of the wife. You must be confused, well Tita doesn't leave here anymore she had to relocate for her therapy.
Now, let's go back..do you really believe that this guys reasoning is valid? If you do then I'm very thankful that I'm agnostic. I mean if that's really what the bible preaches then there really are a lot of messed up minds out there.
Confused and angry is what I feel right now. Every time I talk to Tita I have to lie, I need be dishonest to protect her. I don't really know how to fix things, I can't argue with religion. I can't change once beliefs, especially if this guy grew up believing in his bible.
