She burned the notes recording our five years of love to ashes.
She tried to kick me out of the house more than once, but I hung on despite all the cursing and beating.
I thought that after a while, when the pain of losing her father subsided, she would forgive me.
But I was too naive.
She diverted all her affection to another man, Jude Gilbert.
Jude was my love rival in college, Mia's most ardent pursuer.
Even though she chose me in the end, he did not give up.
I once asked her to stop seeing Jude, but she flat out refused me.
She said she had no feeling for him, otherwise she would never have married me.
She just enjoyed the idea of being pursued, cared for and waited on. She said it was a kind of happiness.
But she didn't know that her happiness was built on my pain.
This time around, Jude took advantage of the situation and got all her affection.
She had no hesitation in video chatting with Jude in front of me, talking like a couple in love.
I was in agony watching my beloved wife having an affair.
I knew she was trying to provoke me, so I chose to endure in silence.
But my indulgence did not change her mind, just worsened her behavior.
