Infidelity
Back in my hometown I became close with the people at a pagan shop down the road from my place... until the owner (TJ)'s husband tried to kiss me one night. I tried to tell TJ about it, but I could never get a hold of her, and I was afraid to go back to the shop in fear that her husband (Tony) might be the only one in the shop when I went in, so I never got to warn her about Tony. Turns out they've recently split up. *sigh* I wonder what happened... I wonder if she cried, if he got caught cheating on her or what. Most of all I wonder if I had managed to get a hold of her if it would've saved her from this now. If it would have been better had she known what he was trying to do back then. *sigh* Infidelity breaks my heart, but when such a good person has their world torn apart because they fell in love with the wrong person... I just don't think it's fair to her. He shouldn't have been lying to her about something like that... something that serious and permanent. Why marry her at all if you couldn't be faithful? Why pretend like you were being faithful when you weren't? In your 40's you are mature enough to accept the vows you've taken and know the seriousness of a marriage... there's no excuse for it. My heart hurts for her, and I hope Tony gets herpes or something awful and permanent for being such a sleaze ball.
