The Ego Held her Back

This is the story of marriage couple who separated after 15 years. So the story went.. the wife must had read a lot of the stories about unfaithful husband, so much so, she became over possessive and at one instant the misunderstanding made them decided to live separately, at least temporarily to cool things down.

However the situation did not come to past unnoticed. A single girl was taking advantage of the situation and started to date the husband. The girl was rather bold, she had been calling the wife and had been pushing the wife to divorce the husband on the pretext that the husband was seeing her. I could imagine the things that the girl was doing in her effort to convince the husband to start his new life with her.

The wife still love her husband and felt bad about what she was doing. Being a professional in her own way, the ego was holding her back and both are waiting for the other to make the first move.

This remind me of my friend, who separated. The husband still love his wife but the ego was holding him as he thought it was the wifes' fault. There was an instant when the husband was hospitalized, and when we visited him, we were surprise that the wife was there to take care of him. Later we heart that the wife married another man. She must had thought it was all over, despite all the signal, the husband did not initiate another move.
