Makes me think

[Guest]

Hello

 

 

 

A friend of mine recently confided in me that her husband of many years had an affair. I was shocked, not that they were a perfect couple. But mostly in him. I never thought of him as someone that would cheat.

 

 

 

She went on to say that she thought he has had other women within the marriage hear and there. But nothing she could really put her finger on. But when he noticed a change in him and his absences from the home much more. She thought he might be doing more than what she allowed herself to believe.

 

 

 

She didnt go into detail about how she found out. But she said it was a pain filled day.

 

 

 

I did ask her if he was sorry. And if he begged her for forgiveness. I was in shock still. What do I say?

 

She told me how he was more concerned about this other person and the children. ( wow, that was good of him)

 

That she decided to continue the marriage for herself and her children. Why should she lose everything she worked so hard for also. The house, her lifestyle. Let her this other person move on. And get her own life.

 

 

 

I asked if she was attending counseling with him. She said no that she was ashamed and that nothing could affect the marriage. That it is what it is.

 

 

 

Now that I know this. I look at them in a different light. I see how they never sit together. Hardly talk to eachother. Funny part they have always been like that. Not like anything new.

 

 

 

I mention all this because even though she doesnt want to talk about it. I wonder does she think about it. Did she really bury it inside her and move on with the marriage the way it is.

 

 

 

Makes me think next time I look at a couple.
