DEAR CHRISTINE: Watch out for this sweet-talker

Dear Christine,
Please print this letter so foolish Bajan girls that long for a man could read it.
My sister was involved with a man that nobody else wanted. She has two children for him but he never gave her anything for them, yet could support a woman that has children.
He has now left that woman and is involved with another one who has a child.
Christine, since he left my sister I understand that he has a very bad sickness and now cannot get any more children.
So to all of you Bajan women when you see this man and he comes to sweet talk you, run as fast as you can. – CC
Dear CC,
The usefulness of this letter is that it warns women about being too fast to become intimate with men and having children for them.
Ideally women should get to know the individual they are interested in well and develop a relationship based on good communication and respect before taking that leap into bed.
There are just too many instances of women having children for men, and the men bolting afterwards without looking back. Or, the man having a woman on his girlfriend and she tolerating this, and in so doing exposing herself to sexually transmitted infections.
Women need to do better than this. It is time you put men who cannot be faithful in their place.
If a man is with you and cannot deal with you alone, he does not respect you. It is as simple as that.
I recognise that the financial support some men offer keep women waiting on them, but I ask those of you who put up with this, or tolerate being abused and lied to, aren’t you worth more than that?
 No man, no matter what he offers, is worth taking this from.
– Christine
