The man’s phone sat on his desk, surrounded by mugs, donut halves, tissue paper, and permanent marker pens. A photo of a smiling toddler was displayed as the wallpaper.
The man was looking for a third wife.
He had been divorced from his first wife due to violence, but he had remarried soon after to a woman with a child. Now, he was looking for a new wife, again.
Why was this?
The man was a smooth talker. He knew how to compliment and flatter people, and he was often successful in winning over women. But his relationships were never long-lasting.
Because compliments and flattery alone do not create genuine camaraderie. They are superficial, lack authenticity, and are one-sided. True camaraderie is built on mutual respect, understanding, and a willingness to be vulnerable.
The man did not know how to build deep connections with people. He was afraid to be vulnerable, and he was only interested in what he could get from others.
That is why his phone was always left on his desk. He was constantly looking for a new woman to flatter and compliment, but he was never able to find the real connection he was craving.
One day, the man’s toddler son came into his office.
The toddler picked up the phone and looked at the photo of his mother.
“Mommy,” he said.
The man looked at his son and smiled. He realized that he had been focusing on the wrong things. He needed to focus on building a relationship with his son, and he needed to learn how to be a better person.
The man took the phone from his son and put it away. He then picked up his son and gave him a big hug.
“I love you, son,” he said.
The man knew that it would take time to rebuild his life and learn how to build genuine camaraderie. But he was committed to making the change. He wanted to be a better father and a better person.
One day, the man was at the park with his son when he saw a woman walking her dog. The woman was beautiful, but it was something more than that. She had a kind and gentle aura about her.
The man approached the woman and introduced himself. They talked for a while, and the man felt a real connection with her.
The man started dating the woman, and they quickly fell in love. The woman was accepting of the man’s past, and she helped him to become a better person.
The man and the woman eventually got married, and they had a child together. The man finally had the family he had always wanted.
The man’s story is a reminder that it is never too late to change. Even if you have made mistakes in the past, you can still find true love and happiness. All you need to do is be open to change and be willing to be vulnerable.
