Let’s Talk To Sylvester

David Bondze-Mbir (DBM): Thank you for participating. What name would you want to go by? (It can be your real first name or any other name of your choosing)

Participant 24: Let’s call me Sylvester

DBM: Hello Sylvester. Please tell me a little about yourself.

Sylvester: I am an extremely simple guy but complex in what I desire. I am married. I love my wife. I have children. I love my children. I share the love I have with other women I am attracted to. I love sex. I love food. I love to travel. I work. I love my job.

DBM: What do you want to talk about?

Sylvester: I want to explain to our women why their husbands love them, but may still be sleeping with other women.

DBM: Why are you cheating on your wife?

Sylvester: Oh! Lol! This is how it’s going to be? Lol!

DBM: I’m just paraphrasing the description you gave of yourself.

Sylvester: Dave, I am not selfish. I am not greedy. It’s not about lust. And, I am very considerate of my wife’s feelings.

DBM: Okay?

Sylvester: I am able to be in love with my wife, and also fall in love with another woman at the same time because no two women are the same. Can you at least agree to this?

DBM: I know no two people are the same.

Sylvester: Good! My wife is an extremely business-driven lady. Trust me, I love that about her. Rose, on the other hand can sit to discuss football with me, dance to the music I dance to, drink tequila, vodka, and rum with me and still be fly.

DBM: Who is Rose?

Sylvester: The third woman I am in love with.

DBM: There is a second?

Sylvester: Yes. And I love all three with the same amount of love.

DBM: Wait, I’m not getting it.

Sylvester: You get it! My wife, who is number one; Ophelia and Rose.

DBM: You are engaging all three as we chat today?

Sylvester: Yes! But I keep them as far away from each other as possible.

DBM: I see.

Sylvester: Ophelia is an excellent cook. She gives me the best sex out of the three. My wife listens but she’s not a great listener as Rose. They are all good mothers to my children.

DBM: You have children with the extra two?

Sylvester: A child each with O and R. However, I have children with my wife.

DBM: Why haven’t you mentioned the other two to your wife?

Sylvester: I am only protecting her from heartbreak.

DBM: Before marrying her, did you ever draw her attention to the fact that, you’re not only made for her?

Sylvester: No!

DBM: Why not?

Sylvester: I didn’t want to lose a good woman.

DBM: But you were very okay with taking away her choice to be with a man who cannot be only hers? She deserved to have an opinion on this matter.

Sylvester: Yes, but it doesn’t mean the love I have for her is gone.

DBM: Does O know there is an R?

Sylvester: No!

DBM: I see.

Sylvester: Dave, I willingly give myself up to each of them. I divide my time and resources accordingly, so none is in dire need.

DBM: Are you doing this because you have money?

Sylvester: I don’t have money. I earn a decent salary. All three women work, so we combine our resources to build what we all share.

DBM: How do you handle the drama each brings to the table?

Sylvester: I am not built to break. My heart is big enough to make room for their wahala.

DBM: Which of them communicates the best?

Sylvester: Rose

DBM: Which of them is ambitious and strong?

Sylvester: My wife.

DBM: Which one values the relationship the most?

Sylvester: Ophelia. Unfortunately, my wife has become complacent, often putting to bed the romantic antics of our relationship.

DBM: Why is that?

Sylvester: Probably because we have been together for a long time.

DBM: Which of them is fun to be with?

Sylvester: I would say, Rose and Ophelia. Ophelia wows me with brutal sex and keeps me active all the time. Rose will drive my lazy butt off the bed to dance with her for hours. She also throws in very important ideas related to my work.

DBM: Which of them do you connect with the most?

Sylvester: I connect with all three on a different level, which satisfies me.

DBM: How about finances?

Sylvester: My wife makes smart decisions when it comes to money.

DBM: Which one supports you the most?

Sylvester: Ophelia

DBM: How about respect?

Sylvester: Rose.

DBM: Vulnerability…

Sylvester: My wife and Rose.

DBM: Which of them keeps you in your element?

Sylvester: They all do, in their own unique ways.

DBM: Which of them are you in love with?

Sylvester: I am in love with my wife. I am in love with Ophelia. I am in love with Rose. My heart starts to pound when I don’t hear from my wife in hours. My heart beats when I speak with Ophelia. My heart smiles when I am with Rose. They all make me happy, and I fear losing any one of them. They make me feel comfortable when I am around them.

DBM: What is your expectation for your love life?

Sylvester: I used to have a list of wants in a woman. I don’t need a list to be happy with my life anymore. I chose these three wonderful women because they make me happy.
