Accusing Ben of betrayal, waiting, taking advantage of the situation. I didn’t know what to say. I hadn’t known.
Now he wants me back but can we ever go back? Later that night, my husband finally broke down. He admitted he had made a mistake, that he never really thought I would find someone else — especially not someone so close.
He said he was scared of losing me for good. He wants to work things out. He says we can go back.
Close the marriage. Heal and try again. But can we?
I’m torn between loyalty and my feelings. I never wanted to hurt anyone. Not my husband, not Ben.
I followed my heart the best way I knew how in a situation I never asked for. But now I’m left holding the pieces of two relationships — and I’m unsure which one, if any, can be put back together.
