I should have told Ben about Michael. I should never have told Michael about BenâŠ
One day I was watching one of my aunties battle cancer. She was older, never marriedâalone. That day I decided I never wanted to be like her.
So I looked around and there was Michael. He worked on Wall Street. He was available. Most of all, he was into me. I let him catch me, then I made the biggest mistake of my life: I married a guy I didnât love.
Maybe if Iâd loved him, weâd have connected in bed and I wouldnât have woken in the mornings feeling exploited. Maybe if Iâd loved him, our infertility would have been manageable.
But I didnât love him, not like I should have. So I left. I needed to have some time alone to think.
I never thought Iâd meet someone. I never thought a guy like Ben would come into my life. But he did, and I want with him all the things I should have wanted with Michael.
Ben is my future.
Unfortunately, Michael wonât stay in my pastâŠ
But will Ben choose to carve out a future withâŠsomeone elseâs wife?
