She had left her husband because he had not been "faithful" to her. He had an "illicit" affair with an other woman, and she had found out about it, and being a righteous wife, had left him. She had warned him for several times that she will leave him, if he had another affair. So when she had known about this 7th affair she had left him. Took her two kids away and had purchased a house and lot. The kids cried when they left the man of the house, but she will teach him a lesson. And she had made her heart as hard as a stone, unfeeling..and had focus on the kids to forget her "idiotic" husband. Despite his plea for them to comeback, she had ignored him.
Now they were separated...and she had entertained some "dream men", and had even fantasize one making love to her...Was she guilty of adultery? She had justified her thoughts..to quiet her conscience. But her conscience had bothered her...there seem to be something wrong with the way she handled his unfaithfulness. She thought how everyone in church had looked up upon her as a righteous wife, and even praised her, but now it seemed she was as dirty as her husband.
In the quiet of the night, when it was quite cold, she remembered how her husband had hugged her in bed. No it was not sensual, but kinda like the hugged of security her father had given her as a child.It seemed that they were just like brother and sister as the years had passed from their honeymoon. There were times when they made love satisfactorily, but most of the time, it was not as enjoyable like when they were just newly wed.
Now her father had been dead for several years now, and she had no one to asked about her problem, except the pastor. The pastor had advised her to give the husband an ultimatum...and now this was the fruit of her decision. She had looked up upon the Pastor as a man of God, so how could his advise be wrong.
