I attended a funeral in my hometown. I was supposed to return on a later date but for some reason and for the fact that my husband was alone, I decided to leave earlier than intended. I didn’t tell him I was coming back. It was supposed to be a surprise to him but it ended up being my own surprise. He was with another woman in our matrimonial bed. They were busy making love while slow music was playing loudly......Read The Full Article>>.....Read The Full Article>>
I was frozen. Like a deer caught in a headlight. I stood there watching them in utter shock until he changed style and saw me standing there. He quickly jumped up and started looking for his dress. I sauntered out of the room, sad, shocked, dejected, less of a wife than I was before I saw them.
I stayed in the backyard of the house for almost an hour, trying to process what I’d seen. It was like a lucid dream, dreaming inside a dream but don’t know which of the dream is inside the other. Through it all, I didn’t lose my calm or composure. Things like this can break you to a level where you can’t have the strength to react or fight.
When I went back in, the lady had vanished. My husband knelt in supplication immediately I entered. I signalled him to get up. I went to freshen up and later headed to the kitchen to prepare something for dinner. He kept following me around, trying to apologize. I didn’t utter a word.
I served dinner. He sat there without eating, his eyes filled with regret, whilst I finished my food and went to bed. Some broken hearts attack your heart and leave your appetite alone. That was the kind I suffered. I tried to shut out the pain but his piercing whispers of apology throughout the night wouldn’t let me. I still didn’t utter a word.
This is a man I trusted so much. He looks so innocent you’ll mistake him for a saint. They say every man cheats but do they do it on their matrimonial bed while their wives are mourning at a funeral?
It’s been 4 days and I still haven’t said anything about the incident. I go about my duties as a wife, go through the emotions whilst he keeps shaking whenever he sees me. It’s amazing how a sin can make a man so small yet they keep doing it. The head is now going around the house headless but all I have is my silence.
