It didn't make me feel any better. The pain I felt that night often returned but, each time, Janice held me, and tried to comfort me.
I was going to try to make it. I didn't want to waste over twenty years of marriage due to one, admittedly devastating, night. At the end of the day, she was the love of my life and, if we were to die tomorrow, I wouldn't want any bad blood between us.
God wants us to forgive those who hurt us, and I'm doing my best to forgive Janice, however, I won't ever forget. Some days it's the first thing I think about when I wake up but, I love Janice and I know she loves me, and I'm trying my best.
Thank you for reading...

Anonymous11 days agoIt is a decent story but some of your morals really are off centre, the big one is sticking up for his wife telling his daughter not to blame his wife or get hostile towards her for damaging the family??wow what a wrong message to send to his daughter. Cheat and those you hurt will forgive you..No! any message sent is one where there is a penalty to pay for cheating since it affects more than a spouse..Also contradictions-He is presented as a strong successful man yet when adversity strikes he freezes and cant say"like hell you will" and then of all things throws up?not likely! Gauranteed NO husband would be tongue tied if a wife confronted him with a plan like that,I dare say it would be quite the opposite,maybe her ending up on her ass ...you ruined the story to 2 stars..
Anonymousabout 2 months agoI gave this 3stars when it should've been 4. Reasons: after she went on her date, he phoned his daughter, And like other LW stories I"ve read but don't understand why, there's the "she's your mother/ don't be hateful to her," & all the rest. I can see the suggestings of trying to have some relationship with her, but more or less giving the mother a free emotional pass just irks me. And any child that does, I wonder if they don't agree on what the mother did.
>> 2. Even tho it took 6 months for hubby to return, there's no writing about what happened during this time, even tho admittingly there's the counselling sessions. But what before his returning?
>> 3, In counselling, he never asked why she listened to her friend to betray him. Moreover, he didn't ask how can he be sure she's not thinking of the guy & his masterful loving whenever she's with him. Maybe this was handled in the session, but it's not written.
In spite of the above, I'm on board with them remaining together, unlike an anon 11mo prior. But (s)he does present a valid point: trust. What she did to at least partially reclaim that trust isn't covered; anything she did seemed to be left out of the epilogue. Unfortunately, & the resulting 3 stars.
Anonymous12 months agoThe writing was good and the story flowed well but i hated the ending. I realize her fake friend played her but she still happily did it. She executed an innocent life after the fact. She isnt a good person and didn't deserve a happy ending.
