The Headline: Katrina Ben Sentenced to Life Plus 20 Years in Shooting Death of Her Lover
I just watched this episode of Fatal Attraction called “High-Rise Hit: Katrina Ben and Eric Somuah.” Season Four. Let’s just say… things did not end well for Eric. The episode aired on TV One, and it’s also been featured on Snapped. Now listen... if you're a man and you end up on Snapped, you’re not the one doing the snapping. You're the one getting snapped on.
Shows like Snapped, the ID Channel, Forensic Files, and Dateline are why the moment I sense even a flicker of CRAZY in a potential partner, I vanish faster than a government file in a conspiracy theory. I’ve ended situationships in three days. My record before that? Two weeks. No hard feelings... just good instincts.
See, in this story, Eric Somuah was honest. He told Katrina Ben, point-blank, he was dating multiple women and wasn’t interested in a committed relationship. He didn’t lead her on. He didn’t sell a dream. He just wanted to enjoy his life on his terms. And here’s the thing: when a man tells you he’s not looking for a relationship, you have two options... accept it and roll with it, or walk away because that’s not what you’re looking for. What you don’t do is agree to the deal hoping you can flip the script later. That’s how people end up on Snapped or the local news.
Some women hear “no strings” and convince themselves they’ll be the exception, that they’ll change his mind. But not everyone is built for “friends with benefits.” And if you’re not honest with yourself about that, it can spiral into something dangerous. Katrina Ben was a beautiful, successful woman who was to accustomed to getting her way in relationships... and she had never been dumped before. Eric’s honesty wasn’t the problem. Her inability to accept it was.
I’ve been in a couple of those situations myself... where a woman got genuinely pissed at me for not wanting to commit. One lady, who thankfully never got involved with Social Media (although I would never disclose her name or any other personal info), literally begged me to marry her. This went on for a couple of years. I was just a few years removed from a divorce and knew with absolute certainty: I was never getting married again. She offered money, emotional support, and sex (which, I’ll admit, I accepted enthusiastically). For anyone wondering, “Why would you sleep with someone you didn’t want a relationship with?” Well, she often initiated sex, and let’s just say she never held back. I was always crystal clear: "I'm not marrying anyone. Once was enough!"
That’s the key. I don’t lie, I don’t mislead. Before anything physical happens, I make my position known: “I’m not looking for a relationship. If we go there, just know my feelings aren’t going to change.” I repeat it. I put it on the record like it’s a legal disclaimer. Because let’s be real... with how some people move these days, especially under the protection of these new gun laws, I’m trying not to be on the next episode of Dateline.
Bottom line: honesty may not always get you liked, but it can keep you alive.
