To those who are married, .. Not married .. and soon to be married, here is a story which may inspire u and give you back the First Love with your partner..
Mr. A = Husband
Mrs. B= Wife
Mrs. C= mistress
MARRIAGE
When Mr.A got home that night as his wife(Mrs. B) served dinner, Mr.A held her hand and said, I've got something to tell you. She sat down and ate quietly. Again he observed the hurt in her eyes.
Suddenly Mr.A didn't know how to open his mouth. But he had to let her know what he was thinking. He wants a divorce.. He raised the topic calmly.
Mrs. B didn't seem to be annoyed by his words, instead she asked him softly, why~~?
Mr.A avoided her question. This made her angry. She threw away the chopsticks and shouted at him, you are not a man! That night, both of them didn't talk to each other. Mrs. B was weeping. Mr.A knew she wanted to find out what had happened to their marriage. But Mr.A could hardly give her a satisfactory answer. He didn't love her anymore due to his heart was with a mistress in his company. He just pitied her!
With a deep sense of guilt, Mr.A drafted a divorce agreement which stated that Mrs.B could own their house, car, and 30% stake of Mr.A company.
Mrs.B glanced at it and then tore it into pieces. The woman who had spent ten years of her life with him had became a stranger. He felt sorry for her cause of wasted of her time, resources and energy but he could not take back what he had said for having a divorce because this is an essential way to get a happiness life with Ms.C. Finally she cried loudly in front of him, which was what he had expected to see. To him, her cry was actually a kind of release. The idea of divorce which had obsessed him for several weeks seemed to be firmer and clearer now.
The next day, Mr.A came back home very late and found her writing something on the table. He didn't have supper but went straight to sleep and fell asleep very fast because he was so tired after an eventful day with his company and of cause with Mrs. C.
When he woke up, she was still there on the table writing. He just did not care so he turned over and was asleep again.
In the morning she presented her divorce conditions:
she didn't want anything from Mr.A, but needed a month's notice before the divorce.
She requested that during the month, both of them were struggling to live as normal life as possible. Her reasons was simple: their son had his exams in a month's time and she didn't want to disrupt him with their broken marriage.
This was agreeable to Mr.A. But she had something more, she asked him to recall how he had carried her into and out of bridal room on their wedding day ten years ago.
She requested that everyday for the month's duration he carried her out of their bedroom to the front door every morning. He thought she was going crazy. Just to make their last days together bearable so he accepted her odd request.
He told Ms. C about his wife's divorce conditions... She laughed loudly and thought it was absurd. No matter what tricks she applies, she has to face the divorce, she said scornfully..
Mr. A and Mrs. B hadn't had any body contact since their divorce intention was explicitly expressed. So when Mr.A carried his wife out on the first day, Both of them appeared clumsy. Their son clapped behind them and said, daddy is holding mummy with his arms. His words brought Mr.A a sense of pain. From the bedroom to the sitting room, then to the door, Mr.A walked over ten meters with his wife in his arms. She closed her eyes and said softly; don't tell our son about the divorce. Then Mr.A nodded, feeling somewhat upset. He put her down outside the door. She went to wait for the bus to work and Mr.A drove alone to the office.
On the second day, both of them acted much more easily. She leaned on his chest. He could smell the fragrance of her blouse. He realized that he hadn't looked at this woman carefully for a long time.. He realized she was not young any more. There were fine wrinkles on her face, her hair was graying! Their marriage had taken its toll on her. For a minute he wondered what he had done to her.
On the fourth day, when Mr.A lifted Mrs.B up, he felt a sense of intimacy returning. This was the woman who had given ten years of her life to him and he felt like to ve a kiss on her forehead, but didn't do it anyway.
On the fifth and sixth day, he realized that their sense of intimacy was growing again. He didn't tell Ms.C about this. It became easier to carry Mrs.B as the month slipped by. Perhaps the everyday workout made him stronger.
She was choosing what to wear one morning. She tried on quite a few dresses but could not find a suitable one. Then she sighed, all my dresses have grown bigger. Mr.A suddenly realized that she had grown so thin, that was the reason why Mr.A could carry her more easily.
Suddenly it hits him... she had buried so much pain and bitterness in her heart. Subconsciously Mr.A reached out and touched her head and have a kiss on her lips.
Their son came in at the moment and said, Dad, it's time to carry mum out. To him, seeing his father carrying his mother out had become an essential part of his life. His wife gestured to their son to come closer and hugged him tightly. He turned his face away because he was afraid he might change his mind at this last minute. He then held her in his arms, walking from the bedroom, through the sitting room, to the hallway. Her hand surrounded his neck softly and naturally. He held her body tightly and a sense of excitement from their heart; it was just like their wedding day.
But her much lighter weight made him sad. On the last day, when he held her in his arms he could hardly move a step. His son had gone to school. He held her tightly and said, I hadn't noticed that our life lacked intimacy.
He drove to office.... jumped out of the car swiftly without locking the door. He was afraid any delay would make him change his mind... He walked to upstairs of his office. Ms. C opened the door and he said to her, Sorry, I do not want the divorce anymore.
Ms. C looked at him, astonished, and then touched his forehead. Do you have a fever? She said. He moved her hand off from his head. Sorry, he said, I won't divorce. My marriage life was boring probably because she and I didn't value the details of our lives, not because we didn't love each other any more. Now I realize that since I carried her into my home on our wedding day I am supposed to hold her until death do us apart. Sorry to tell you this...
Ms. C seemed to suddenly wake up. She gave Mr.A a loud slap and then slammed the door and burst into tears. He then walked downstairs and drove away.
At the floral shop on the way, Mr.A ordered a bouquet of flowers for his wife. The salesgirl asked him what to write on the card. He smiled and wrote, I'll carry you out every morning until death do us apart.
That evening Mr.A arrived home, flowers in his hands, a smile on his face, he ran up stairs, only to find his wife on the bed - dead (suicide)...
From this story, i feel that a relationship is easy to get but the problem is how to maintain it throughout our life time. Mr. A and Mrs. B were loving couple and then get married with an excitement. But as what we read from the story above, Mr.A wants to have a divorce with his wife due to his heart was with another girl at that time. What made Mr. A to get a mistress??? We will never find out a solid answer or excuse to encourage us to ve a mistress...because there ll never have an answer of it. Intimacy of a couple is really an essential part and a relationship with God is a supplement to make your marriage life fruitfully. Maybe you wont agree with what i said but I was the one who gone through all this incident(thk God my mum still alive). Their problem is due to lack of intimacy with one another. They seldom to have a dinner on a same table except the dinners we have in restaurant. They are not willing to share what they are going through in their daily works especially my dad because he is a prideful man which always keep the burden and bear these. No one can be blamed on in a poor and failure marriage because i also how to blame to. Child is always innocent in a family. They don't know anything of all these. What they know is only revenge and hate. Get jealous to other friends' family. Hate dad or mum who created the problem in their family. Child ll always bear a 'curse' of loving or having future life partner because they have no faith in it.Love is always a fake thing in their life.
So, a single word of divorce is easy to voice out, but the effect is like a nuclear bomb. You and your family members may not be able to endure or bear it...Therefore, Love is not easy if you don't know how to care and share with your family members...I appreciate those who loved me and i had loved before...thanks for making me know that there is a real love on this deadly earth..
