Being a side chick is not easy. You never enjoy your holidays nor do you get to spend quality time with your man. He is a family man who always has to go back to his family, so as a side chick, you will always be left feeling lonely.

Well, a city woman has confessed that being a side chick is a hard job. According to this woman, she has been a side chick for quite a while but apart from the gifts and treats that come along, it's not worth it.

Here's her experience;

"I've been a side chick to several of my boyfriends. Strange enough, most of them I was in a monogamous relationship with. My first serious relationship was with Mr. T for whom I left my child's father and boyfriend of 7 years. We dated for two years. Since we never lost contact, We never officially broke up. Years after we stopped a sexual relationship, he helped me get the job I'm currently at.

After him, I dated a guy who had a girlfriend for a couple of months, then while at work, I met a guy who was to get married soon, I called him Mr. H. Mr. H and I never really had a sexual relationship but he did everything for me. We still keep in touch as well.

So for all those times, I was doing okay as a side chick, I dated those guys in peace until I met Mr. N. He was different from the men I previously dated because unlike my previous men Mr. N was not in a happy relationship with his main woman. He was having issues with his wife, so I was his solace. I was okay with that.

Everything was going well until he had resolved his problems at home and he said he wanted to keep me as his girlfriend even though he was now happy at home. He even suggested he would make me his second wife. While we were in discussions of what we will do next, his wife somehow how found out and all hell broke loose.

The wife went berserk and attacked me verbally. We had verbal exchanges and often screaming matches on the phone. She was often threatening and it got so bad that I had to block him and stop talking to him. I haven't spoken to him since. It could have ended badly because if I hadn't handled everything like I did, the wife was threatening to beat me up with her friends.

I moved on from that drama and currently, I'm the only one in my relationship. I am in a serious relationship with my partner. When I look back at the people I dated, I realize that I was okay with being a side chick because I never wanted my exes to leave their spouses. I later realized that for the longest time I had commitment issues because during this time I had suitors that had potential to be partners. I think because I liked the single lifestyle, going out clubbing and partying all the time. And with a guy that's married, he's not available at certain times and that worked for me. Also, the vacations were great because the only places you would go out with him publicly is where no one knows you. Though with Mr. T our affair was very public even to this date, we comment on each other's posts, tag and even call each other almost every other day.

The sad part about being a side chick is it's very lonely. The men are never available when you need them. You celebrate all the special holidays either before or after the days have passed, you never even have a priority on the plans you have."
