(This is Day 26 in a write 31 days series. Click here for the title page )
Mary tried to connect with her friend on social media, as
had become the evening usual for the last several weeks. He wasn’t around.
Mary noticed how sharp the disappointment hit her. She
thought maybe she’d try later on that evening.
The kids went to bed and her husband was reading in bed. He
had tried to approach her about spending some private time together, but she
made up an excuse and went downstairs. On her way down, she poured a glass of
wine, she felt the need to relax.
Their online conversation lately had gotten a little risky,
Mary enjoyed it a little too much. She signed on and there was a message
waiting from him. Her heart quickened as she gulped some wine. He apologized
for missing out on their time earlier, but there was some family stuff going
on.
They quickly pushed past the pleasantries and headed into
flirting, as was the norm lately. He really wanted to connect over lunch
sometime, Mary wasn’t sure how to get a sitter during the day without blatantly
lying. Oddly enough, she wasn’t averse to it, she was just calculating all the
details so she wouldn’t be found out.
It’s not like lunch together was that bad, it just leads to
other questions and she didn’t feel like having to answer for her choices. By
the time they wrapped up a 2-hour conversation it was midnight, she had two and
half glasses of wine, which influenced her to forget to delete the conversation
and log off.
When she went to bed, her husband was actually awake reading
still, which completely annoyed her. Mary was hoping to slide into bed without
having to answer his questions.
Well, two things happened.
1- He asked why she
had so much to drink, typically they only drank together and on special
occasions, and 2- if she wasn’t feeling good enough to be intimate then why did
she spend the evening drinking and surfing on the internet?
Mary could tell he
was angry and hurt.
Time for some back peddling…quickly.
Dear Uncle,
After the devastating loss of Anne, I do feel like I am able
to keep control over Mary, at least.
She’s far too engrossed with this internet friend. It is
providing the exact distraction I hoped for! She’s invested enough that
she’s making excuses, lying and getting defensive about it.
Her husband is going to be caught in the wake of this destruction
of their marriage. He has no idea what’s going to hit. Mary is not
only being unfaithful, but she will believe that this new guy wants to be with her permanently.
Once the new guy drops her, she will be left empty,
bewildered, lonely and unable to cope with her deep unhappiness.
She will have thought
that this was her shot at the life she was supposed to have, but with his
rejection, it will further confirm her own low self-esteem and self-loathing
will once again set in.
However, now it’ll be terribly worse because she will have
not only decimated her relationship with her husband and potentially the kids,
but this illusion of a happier future will be dashed and sink her into deep depression.
I will make her worthless to her family.
I’ll update you tomorrow!
Sincerely,
Sepitus
