Amelia's Delimma

Amelia's Delimma Disclaimer: The following story and its characters are completely fictional and not representative of any person, living or deceased. There are three main characters to this story; Amelia, Jack and Matt. Amelia went to work like usual on Friday. She works on the other side of a very wide, deep and swift moving river. Amelia, due to an unforeseen event, could not make it home Friday after work. So she spent the night at a hotel near work. Saturday is her wedding day. Amelia has no means of getting across the river to where her wedding is taking place. There are no phones, no cell phone service, no motor vehicles and no electricity going to the location of her wedding. Amelia is now at the edge of the river and can see off in the distance her wedding location on the other side. She cannot swim the river because it is far too dangerous and she is not a good swimmer. She could walk miles along the river to a foot bridge to get across, but then she would be late for her own wedding. Jack is the man she is marrying. He told her before she left for work, that under no circumstances is she to be late for their wedding. Jack made it very clear to Amelia that if she does not show up on time that he never wanted to see or speak to her again. Just when Amelia is about to give up, she sees a boat and waves it over to her. Matt is the owner and operator of this boat.Amelia asks if he can help her get across the river to her wedding. Matt says he will help her, but he needs $200 to pay for his time and the fuel it takes to operate the boat. Amelia explains that she has no money to pay. So Matt agrees to help Amelia if she has sex with him. Amelia knows this is wrong. She doesn't want to betray Jack on their wedding day. So what should Amelia do? In order to get to her wedding, she has two options. She can sleep with Matt and he gets her there on time to marry Jack, but that is cheating and she doesn't want to start off a marriage with a betrayal. Or she can walk the distance to the footbridge and take several hours to get to her wedding late and then Jack won't be there and the relationship is over. Dilemmas like these present themselves every day in our lives. What would you do or have Amelia do? I was presented this in a group almost 30 years ago. My answer to this dilemma is the same now as it was 30 years ago. I choose to walk away. Matt is an asshole. He is an insecure, manipulative little bitch. He probably was hurt by a woman significant to him in his younger days and now he is out to get revenge for that by requiring women to perform sexual favors for things. Jack is more likely a narcissistic control freak. He doesn't really value Amelia at all. If he really loved her and was serious about their life together, he would have made it clear that the wedding would go on even if she was late. he made it all about him by giving her an ultimatum. I would walk away from these two losers right then and there. I don't need this kind of negativity in my life. Life is short and treating another person badly, beating them up mentally and emotionally is not for me. There is much more life to live. |

Yeah, these guys are insecure and trying desperately to wield power over Amelia because of circumstance. They see her as desperate when in fact they're the desperate ones. Desperate to view themselves as being in control and in power over some real or perceived situation from long ago in their lives. Your answer is of course the correct one, but sadly, I think fewer people than we hope would choose it in today's world.

Very good story. I agree with you on walking away from both. Please dont forget though, it also happens to men where women give them ultimatums too.
