It had been long night for them both. The entire night they stayed up talking, trying to decide whether or not their marriage was worth saving. Finally here they were. The deciding moment.
“I have a confession…” She said in a small voice. “The reason I left my last job is because I had an emotional affair and I needed to get away from it.” Shame and regret we’re heavy in her voice. “Nothing physical happened. I swear on it. I never even held his hand!” She was telling the truth.
“Ah hell babe… How could I even blame you.” The sorrow filled his voice. “When I wasn’t drunk for the last 2 years I was working.” He had been sober for 3 months at this point. She could see the changes in him. She just didn’t know if it was too late for them to reconcile. “And if I’m honest, since we stopped having sex, I made a Kik to talk to other girls. I never did, but I still had the intention.” He also was telling the truth. “For what it’s worth… I forgive you.” He meant it.
