“You still got Game!”

Pauline & Quincy

Pauline and Quincy meet in the freshman year of college. They formed an immediate attachment to each other in the very first semester. Pauline was more on the focus side of her studies while Quincy seemed to take school for granted and just barely get by.

They dated throughout their college life experience although it was rocky for several semesters. Pauline’s complaints with Quincy were always about other women that he seemed to somehow find time to flirt with. He even tried to hit on a couple of her friends that happened to be faithful to Pauline and would tell her about him.

Pauline no doubt was in love with Quincy despite the games he played. He had a rather smooth charm about him that would often get the attention of any college female.

The final semester of their college life, unfortunately their relationship came to a painful end. Pauline had become fed up with him seeing other women while dating her. She simply had enough of the games and lies he often told.

Pauline graduated on schedule leaving Quincy to another year in school. They ultimately went their separate ways and would occasionally make contact for about a year after Pauline’s graduation.

Five years later at age 28, Pauline married a guy she knew from her former high school. Their marriage came to a seven year end after Pauline discovered this guy impregnated his ex-girlfriend. They had no children together.

Now at the age of 37, guess who Pauline runs into, you got it, Mr. Man himself, Quincy, looking good as ever, his charm, sharp as a two-edged sword. They were really so happy to see each other. They began a dialogue that turned into several dates and ultimately marriage after about a year.

Five years and doing okay in the marriage they were now a family with two small children, Kathryn 4, and Quincy Jr. 2. They had some problems as most marriages do, but in their case it was still Quincy who showed signs of his past addiction with women. Pauline was a very good wife as well as remarkable mother. She was so happy to have her family.

While out shopping with the kids, Pauline runs into Quincy having a cozy dinner with a woman she never saw before. Earlier that afternoon he phoned and said he would be working until late night. He was working alright but not on his other job.

Pauline respectfully approached Quincy as he took his arm from around the other lady’s chair to collect himself. He was completely shocked to see her and the kids. He spoke and so did the lady who asked who Pauline and those kids were. Pauline without hesitation answered and told her, “I am his wife and these are our children.” Out of total shock, the lady became furious as she told Pauline she’s been dating Quincy for the past 2 years and never knew he had a wife or children.

Pauline looked at him as the other lady now in tears left the table. She said to him with severe pain in her heart, “At 39 years of age, you still got game, my children and I are out of here!” Six months later, Pauline divorced him.

The question is: Is Quincy too old for the game, or is the game too much for him?

Which brings us to tonight’s topic: “You still got Game!”
