Tangled (Episode 1)

I got in 2am like I always did every night just so I could get his attention but this night it was different. For 1year  and a month we constantly fought over whose turn it was to wash the dishes, lay the bed sheets or take the dog on a walk.

My marriage has constantly been on the edge of breaking but we've fought to keep us together even though our love had long been shattered. Few months into the marriage I got a maid, a young naive lady whom I thought had no idea about getting attracted to a man yet alone my own husband.

As I always did I tip toed into the room just so I could catch him in a compromising situation but each time I didn't. But I pushed him so far as to the result of tonight. My husband was tangled with my maid on our matrimonial bed. I froze for a second not until she spoke but not with the accent but fluent English. I had been played.

My worse fear had come to play. We hadn't been together as a couple for over 6 months only because I constantly gave an excuse of work! Work! Work!. I was so tangled with my work and my pride while I let my husband slip away only to get tangled with my maid.

The morning after I got up early had a quick shower and got straight to the kitchen to make his favourite dish. I wasn't going to let my husband go without a fight. I got her bags together and called a cab to take her back home.

I refused to let the devil win. I got on my knees that night and cried to God for the mistakes I had made which led to this and also for the mistake my husband had made. I refused for the devil to take my happiness and my family.

An hour later he got down stairs and I could see the guilt all over his face but I wasn't ready to rob it on his face. We talked about what happened and what led to it.
We aren't there as a couple but we are certainly heading gradually to a complete healing process.
