Six Reasons Why You Should Marry a Man

TW: I used the N word in this post goddamn 🙄

Did that get your attention? Well, let’s see if I can keep it…

So imagine this.

You wake up on a random Saturday morning with a warm smile on your face. You get up, brush your teeth, wash your face, throw ya robe on, and head downstairs to brew yourself a cup of coffee like you do every morning. Then, after your coffee has all the milk and sugar in it, you head back upstairs to sit at your desk in your home office to officially start your day.

With your coffee in hand you log into your computer to handle emails. Shipping details for your Online Print on Demand business that earns your $20k a month, right?

Like why wouldn’t you check your emails everyday?

Anyways.

But imagine your surprise when you log into your desktop, and that on the screen is a picture of YOUR man, all boo’ed up with a woman you don’t think you recognize at all because all you can see is her ass cheek and a tattoo that looks somewhat familiar.

You set your coffee mug down, frowning and squinting at the computer trying to keep your composure as you scroll through this iMessage thread between your man and a woman name “Sade”.

Like who the fuck is “Sade” right? And to add insult to injury, the last text message sent was last night at midnight saying “Good fuck Zaddy. See you next time when I run outta $$$”

So now you’re pissed right?

You scroll to the top of this message thread to find out when this line of text first began.

The texts were far a in between but date back to three years ago.

Three fucking years ago is around the same time you met your current, well soon to be ex boyfriend at a college party.

Now you’ve realized that you’ve been living a lie with a man that you were just waiting for the day to say yes to when he popped the question.

Now what?

You two built this luxurious life together, moved to the suburbs, the only black couple on the block, and doing the damn thing. The trips, the cars, the gifts, the seamless passive income that funds this lifestyle because YOU put in the work and quit your career job as a Dental Hygienist to go all in with your boyfriend to build a life beyond your dreams.

You lived that dream, but what now?

So, you scroll back down to the picture to find any clue as to who this woman was and why she was fuckin’ on your man for money every few months over the two years you’ve been with this lying, cheating ass nigga right?

You zoom in on the tattoo that felt just too damn familiar…

AT & JT.

You recognize that tattoo because it’s the same one you have.

The same one that your Elder big sister Jade got oh so Many years ago.

So what do you do now?

You pack everything you could into one large suitcase and left without a word said because you said “Fuck her, and fuck that nigga” leaving everything behind with at least $20k your account and you will figure out the details later.

You drove and drove with tears falling freely down your face with no destination in mind until you reach this town called Lebeau.

Not only was Lebeau the perfect place for a pitstop and a refuel, but possibly the perfect place to start over.

You’ve been in Louisiana your entire life and never heard of a town tucked away in the woods that was Black and Gold aesthetic, modern buildings and perfect landscaping. It looked straight out of something from a movie, and the best part was seeing that black people were everywhere you looked.

Coming and going. Living their best life while you had dried tears on your face from the betrayal you just found out about.

So you decided to check into the Town’s Grand Hotel where you find that on the inside, it was just as luxurious as the rest of this town.

You made up your mind to get dressed, treat yourself to a meal, and get your mind off your Ex and Sister.

When you make it to the elevator with your best white dress and gold strappy heels, and hair and edges laid, you run into the very man who will ask for your hand in marriage within forty-eight hours of being in your presence.

Do you say I do?

Let’s see if the Seven Reasons Below are clausible enough reasons to say yes to marrying a Man. (A fine, Tall Dark and Handsome Black ass man at that)

1. Ace is a proud, patient, and resilient Black man. He dedicated 15 years of his life to building a town from the ground up that would be the home to thousands of black people looking to start over in a safe, black protected town. Using his degrees in Construction Management and Architecture.

2. Ace laid eyes on you once, and wanted nothing but you for reasons you don’t know yet, but when you find out, you realize that fate brought you two together.

3. After crying your heart out on Ace’s chest, he runs you a bath; when done, he wraps his strong arms around you, letting you know that everything will be fine, and you both fall asleep. No sexual pressure, just kindness from a perfect stranger.

4. You wake up the next morning to breakfast prepared at his hands, keys to a brand new house, a brand new car, a gift box filled with fifty grand in it and a promise of a personal tour through the very town he built.

5. You spent the entire day with Ace, and everything about him was perfect; his town, too. The humor, his smile, the way he walked, his grace, and benevolent spirit that seeped into every square inch of his town considered everything for his residents. Affordable and inclusive rent, transportation, jobs provided, and high-quality living, period. Nothing less.

6. You learn quickly that he’s not the one for games. He wants it all. You, a family, and marriage. Do you say yes when he pops the question?

Are any of the reasons above a good enough reason to say Yes? I wanna know.

What do you think Amirah said?

I wrote this story two years ago, and it’s time to REWRITE it. 😂

I’ve grown so much as a writer with Wattpad being the very platform that helped me with that growth.

It’s 2025, and it’s time for me to take my work seriously. Moving forward, I will be polishing all of my old work, finishing up my current projects, and starting new ones for them to all go on to paying platforms like Google Books, Kubo, Barnes and Noble, KU, and more.
