It was a busy Saturday afternoon at work. I was approached by a young looking woman for some styling ideas. She said it was necessary that she update her wardrobe and was ready to drop dimes on a new closet of shoes. I questioned her asking if it was for work, casual wear, or nightlife. She exclaimed all three. I asked her what kind of work she does. She was a medical doctor.
We are going to call her Dr. Heels.
Dr. Heels recently opened her own medical clinic and had a lot of good things going for her on the job. I could tell she had a strong bond with her mother. Her mother was present along with her son. After picking out some shoes for Dr. Heels, bright colors for the Spring of course, I escorted her to a seat to try them on and “rip the runway”. I make all my customers strut in their shoes so that one, they are comfortable walking in them and two, so that they feel confident walking in them.
So while going through the heels we picked out Dr. Heels started telling me about her love life. Dr. Heels had been married for 10 years. Surprised, I was because she looked no older than 25, but I think Indian women have great skin and lovely features which helps.
Within Dr. Heels ten year marriage she had been cheated on 4 times by her husband. I repeat FOUR TIMES! She was in an arranged marriage and had a son. That particular Saturday was the fifth time her husband cheated on her. After three days of working in the hospital setting she went home to enjoy her weekend off and found her husband and his mistress getting ready to get busy on the couch; SHE BOUGHT!
Dr. Heels even had a picture in her blackberry and showed me the hillbilly looking female that her husband was cheating with. She shared that she took the picture, dressed her son, and left him in the home with no time for reoccurring explanations.
I was shocked with her story. She looked as though she wanted to cry but was so hurt that she could not shed a tear. She also shared that her husband did not work.
I could not imagine how a man that had a hardworking woman, making good money, and highly educated would want to cheat on their wife. She explained that the first time he cheated she moved up north but eventually came back for the sake of their young son.
My advice to her was, "Honey, You’re a doctor, people look up to you, people stress you out daily with their health problems or psychological problems. You do not need stress in the home. Leave that leach, because all he is doing literally is feeding off of your goods."
She shed a few tears after my advice and told me I have a great personality and will make it far in life.
We ended the conversation by the register. I rang Dr. Heels up and she handed me her business card.
My question to you: What do you think about this situation? Do you think what I told her was valuable? What’s your view on arranged marriages? Do you think Dr. Heel will get a divorce or once again try to heal a broken wound? Let’s chat!
