A Letter to My Lover's Wife, Part 2
I hope you do forgive him
Just as I have
Because he was a man under torment for many years
When you deprived him of sex for a decade and forced him into celibacy
It took away from his manhood
And it cut like a knife
OK. Let's be fair. There was that one time you gave yourself to him in 2008. As a result of that lovemaking you had a beautiful daughter
However, on the other hand, there was another occasion when he woke you up in the middle the night because he was "in the mood"
Only to be met with frustration and anger as you quickly hopped out of bed, turned on the lights, and scolded him, "What are you doing? Don't you know I have to get up early in the morning? Who's going to get the kids ready for school? Who's going to make them breakfast and make sure they get out the door on time?"
That was the last straw for him.
What did you expect?
You refused to reciprocate his affection
You lost respect for him as a husband and as a man
And, as we all know,
every man has his breaking point
That day came for your husband when you refused him one last time
And so, he turned elsewhere.
I recognize that at some point there was plenty of resentment on your end
I can't blame you
After all, how could he possibly go off and travel for a month all over Europe by himself while you were 6 months pregnant with your first child together?
Didn't he realize the importance of that situation?
Didn't he know how much you needed and wanted him to be there for you?
Now grant it, he was there to visit his father who was very ill
In fact, he wasn't sure if that would be the last time he would ever get to see him
But still, did he really have to be away for the entire month?
As a husband and father, he works hard every day for his family.
He works hard for you
Making sure that you never have to work a day in your life again and that you and your children are well provided for
Allie, woman to woman, I know what it feels like to be in your shoes.
Being a wife and a mother often feel like the most thankless jobs in the world.
You devoted so much of yourself, 20 years of it, into your marriage and to one man
And this is the thanks that you get?
You deserve better.
Although the two of you can never forget what happened
I hope you can forgive one another
I believe in my heart of hearts that the two of you can restore what was lost and lacking in your marriage
Love really does conquer all
And for both of your sake and the sake of your children,
I hope it does.
Sincerely,
A wife, a mother, and
your husband's past lover
I hope you do forgive him
