The Game Of Cheating

I knew of a colleague who married soon after obtaining her key to freedom. They were blessed with a wonderful baby the following year and a couple of years later they were blessed with yet another beautiful child.

Then one day, her husband had to travel to another country for business. When he returned he told his wife that he had fallen in love with another woman. The wife was distraught but for the sake of her two young children decided to forgive him and was again blessed with another child a few years later.

Then thirty years into the marriage he declared that he doesn't love the wife anymore and walked of the family into another woman's arms whom he claimed was gentler than the wife. Now they are in a legal tussle to settle disputed family assets. Over the years, I did realize something that she found strength and courage to face the realities of life.

As her colleague, I could sometimes see her weep over her failed marriage.
