Strawberry Letter: I Know I've Lost My Mind


This Strawberry Letter is something else. Here is a young woman with a seemingly good man, they're vibing (but not without some rough patches here and there), but she's lusting after another man. I'm no relationship expert, but if someone's already in a relationship and they're lusting after another person, it's a matter of time before that lust turns into physicality. She mentions that she's prayed hard to get rid of these lustful feelings, but to no avail. Obviously she's not praying hard enough because usually when you pray for God to release you from something, he does it on the spot. In being released from something, she has to be careful NOT to put herself in compromising positions. Has she told her husband she still thinks about another man? Probably not, because he would be livid, and with good reason. No man would be ok with his wife lusting after another man. The thing is, this other man is married and so is she. If she chooses to act on her lustful feelings, she could mess up two marriages: Hers & His. The best thing for her to do is keep her feelings on the low, because of the repercussions. What someone doesn't know, won't hurt them. Then again, this woman and the married man could be trying to reconnect somewhere down the line, and they're looking for an opportunity to make it happen. If she has a good man, why is she having feelings for another married man? Maybe she regrets marrying her current man, and wants to see what could be. Too late, she chose the man she's with so she might as well drop those feelings.
