Samson's weakness

by Ben

I read Judges 15-16.

This story is another one that confuses me. Samson's strength comes from his hair. That I can understand. What I don't get is why after his new girl, Delilah, tries to find out the secret of his strength numerous times (and he knows that she is betraying him), that he tells her his secret. The women in Samson's life all nag him until he gives in. Both times ending in him being betrayed. Mind you, Samson gets his revenge on the Philistines, but that doesn't account for his giving in to these women who are obviously betraying him. It seems that even the strongest of men has a weakness.
