Husband Gets A Shock When His Wife Request This During Divorce by uphedho(m): 4:48am On Sep 15, 2015 |
When I got home that night my wife served dinner. I held her
hand and said, "I've got something to tell you." She sat
down and ate quietly. Again I observed the hurt in her eyes.
Suddenly I didn't know how to open my mouth. But I had to
let her know what I was thinking about divorce. I raised the
topic calmly. She didn't seem to be annoyed by my words,
instead she asked me softly, "Why?"
I avoided her question. This made her angry. She threw
away the chopsticks and shouted at me, "You are not a
man!"
That night, we didn't talk to each other. She was weeping. I
knew she wanted to find out what had happened to our
marriage. But I could hardly give her a satisfactory answer;
she had lost my heart to Jane. I didn't love her anymore, I
just pitied her.
With a deep sense of guilt, I drafted a divorce agreement
which stated that she could own our house, our car, and
30% of my company. She glanced at it and then tore it to
pieces. The woman who had spent ten years of her life with
me had become a stranger. I felt sorry for her wasted time,
resources, and energy but I could not take back what I had
said. I loved Jane now.
Finally she cried loudly in front of me, which was what I had
expected to see. To me her cry was actually a kind of
release. The idea of divorce which had obsessed me for
several weeks seemed to be firmer and clearer now.
The next day, I came home late and found her writing
something at the table. I didn't have supper but went
straight to sleep and fell asleep very fast after an eventful
day with Jane. When I woke up, she was still at the table
writing.
In the morning she presented her divorce conditions. She
didn't want anything from me, but needed a month's notice
before the divorce. She requested that in that one month, we
both struggle to live as normal a life as possible. Her
reasons were simple; our son had his exams in a month's
time and she didn't want to disrupt him with our broken
marriage.
This was agreeable to me, but she had something more.
She asked me to recall how I had carried her into out bridal
room on our wedding day. She requested that every day for
the month's duration, I carry her out of our bedroom to the
front door every morning. I thought she was going crazy,
but just to make our last days together bearable, I accepted
her odd request.
I told Jane about my wife's divorce conditions. She laughed
loudly and thought it was absurd. "No matter what tricks
she applies, she has to face the divorce," she said
scornfully.
My wife and I hadn't had any physical contact since my
divorce intention was explicitly expressed. So when I
carried her out on the first day, we both appeared clumsy.
Our son clapped behind us, "Daddy is holding Mommy in
his arms."
His words brought me a sense of pain. From the bedroom to
the living room and to the door, I walked over ten meters
with her in my arms. She closed her eyes and said softly,
"Don't tell our son about the divorce."
I nodded, feeling somewhat upset. I put her down outside
the door. She went to wait for the bus. I drove alone to the
office.
On the second day, both of us acted much more easily. She
leaned on my chest. I could smell the fragrance of her
blouse. I realized that I hadn't looked at this woman
carefully for a long time. I realized she was not young any
more. There were fine wrinkles on her face, her hair was
graying. Our marriage had taken its toll on her, and for a
minute, I wondered what I had done to her.
On the fourth day, when I lifted her up, I felt a sense of
intimacy returning. This was the woman who had given ten
years of her life to me. On the fifth and sixth day, I realized
that our sense of intimacy was growing. I didn't tell Jane
about this. It became easier to carry her as the month
slipped by. Perhaps the everyday workout made me
stronger.
She was choosing what to wear one morning. She tried on
quite a few dresses but could not find a suitable one. Then
she sighed, "All my dresses have grown bigger." I suddenly
realized that she had grown so thin, and that was the reason
why I could carry her more easily.
Suddenly it hit me. She had buried so much pain and
bitterness in her heart. Subconsciously I reached out and
touched her head.
Our son came in at the moment and said, "Dad, it's time to
carry mom out." To him, seeing his father carrying his
mother out had become an essential part of his life. My wife
gestured to our son to come closer and hugged him tightly. I
turned my face away because I was afraid I might change
my mind at this last minute. I then held her in my arms,
walking from the bedroom, through the living room, and to
the hallway. Her hand surrounded my neck softly and
naturally. I held her body tightly, just like on our wedding
day.
But her much lighter weight made me sad. On the last day,
when I held her in my arms I could hardly move a step. Our
son had gone to school. I held her tightly and said, "I hadn't
noticed that our life lacked intimacy."
I drove to office, jumped out of the car swiftly without
locking the door. I was afraid any delay would make me
change my mind. I walked upstairs. Jane opened the door.
"Sorry, Jane, I do not want the divorce anymore."
She looked at me, astonished, and then touched my
forehead. "Do you have a fever?" she replied.
I moved her hand off my head. "Sorry, Jane," I said. "I won't
divorce. My marriage life was boring probably because she
and I didn't value the details of our lives, not because we
didn't love each other anymore. Now I realize that since I
carried her into my home on our wedding day, I am
supposed to hold her until death do us apart."
Jane seemed to suddenly wake up. She gave me a loud
slap and then slammed the door and burst into tears. I
walked downstairs and drove away. At the floral shop on
the way, I ordered a bouquet of flowers for my wife. The
saleswoman asked me what to write on the card. I smiled
and wrote, "I'll carry you out every morning until death do
us apart."
That evening I arrived home, flowers in my hands, a smile
on my face. I ran up the stairs only to find my wife in the
bed – dead. My wife had been fighting cancer for months,
but I was too busy with Jane to even notice. She knew that
she would die soon and wanted to save me from any
negative reaction from our son, in case we push through
with the divorce. At least, in the eyes of our son, I'm a loving
husband.
The small details of your lives are what really matter in a
relationship. It's not the mansion, the car, property, the
money in the bank. These create an environment conducive
for happiness but cannot give happiness in themselves.
So find time to be your spouse's friend and do those little
things for each other that build intimacy. Have a real happy
marriage! |

I read this 2 years ago here in nairaland. I guess it has recycled it's way back to Nairaland when it was hacked and many post got missing. It's still a good story though. |
