Published on July 15, 2019, a college student shared a shocking encounter with a married man who offered her a luxurious lifestyle in exchange for her companionship.

He proposed a three-hour afternoon siesta, two or three times a week, during which he would see her for some good time to while away a boring afternoon. He assured her that he would take care of all expenses, including rent and utilities, and provide a 'small' stipend of Sh50,000 a month.

She was taken aback by his generosity, especially considering her own financial struggles as a college student. However, she politely declined his offer, citing her commitment to her college boyfriend.

The encounter left her pondering the financial implications of philandering, particularly in today's 'slay queen' age. She noted that the costs of keeping a mistress are staggering, including the expenses of meeting places, monthly allowances, gifts, and vacations.

She couldn't help but wonder if the benefits of an affair are worth the financial burden and emotional toll on all parties involved. As she reflected on her encounter, she couldn't help but think that staying faithful to one's spouse might be the better option.
