Role Confusion, Role Confusion

Its been a while since my last post but ill have you know that YES I'm still alive! I've just been preoccupied with school and such. I'm quite twitually active as well if I say so myself [@itsyagirlolivee] ;).

So I decided to speak on a topic i felt so PRESSED to talk about. Something my roommates and I like to call ROLE CONFUSION. What is it you ask?
Role Confusion - [rowl kun-fush-un] verb : the act of an individual perpetrating on a pre-existing relationship in an attempt to sabotage or take over the role or position of the existing power.

With that said, yesterday the trending topic on twitter was #sidechickawareness; people went in! So, this just reminded me how females often get their roles confused when it comes to relationships.
A couple will be in a "committed" relationships (and I put committed in quotation marks because commitment does not include cheating which people do anyway in "committed" relationships) and the guy will sometimes have a sideline chick who...well quite frankly has her role confused.

My take on it is, a sideline will never play the court...the ball may roll out of bounds into the stands every now and then and she may catch it. But eventually it will always be snatched back until it rolls somewhere in her direction again. LOL the water boy will NEVER become point guard....#imjussayin!

This finally brings me to the whole Tiger Woods saga--a man who no one really paid attention to until now. Well, the scandal now is that Tiger cheated on his wife with multiple mistresses...the count now is 3. Damn Woods, whats up?! But anyway I found something very interesting on Necole Bitchie's Blog. A fellow reader on her blog wrote:

"If you’re stupid enough to be a mistress, you learn, know, and love your role. Your role is to lie on your back quietly and be taken care of. You won’t gain anything by opening your mouth. You’ll end with less than you had before, the man still won’t want you, and you’ll still be a whore. Just play your part. Men, If you’re gonna cheat on your wife, cheat with someone who has just as much to lose as you do. That way they won’t open their mouths because they’d suffer just as much as you do."

A very smart individual he/she is!
Why men and women keep sidelines in the first place is something for another day. But for one thing if you are going to intrude on a relationship be less of an obstruction and play your position. Besides that there is no reason for a women to get caught up as a sideline if they respect themselves. #kanyeshrug.

Till the next.
