or the pain they are causing. why even get started up with a man like that in the first place?

I dont think its about vindictiveness. What the wife saw in him was a single man who then made a commitment. The man betrayed the wife. The other woman simply behaved immorally. She is nothing to the wife, and not much to the man incidentally. Why she would choose that, I dont know.

Its a nice writing piece tho.

As the sheets cool on his side of the bed, your heart aches for the man you love completely, who will never be completely yours. His place is in another's bed; in another's arms. To her, he will belong forever. To you, for just a few stolen moments.

Sometimes love trickles in slowly, unnoticed until it is too late. Other times it comes as an explosion, leaving you with your ears ringing laying flat on the ground. You're still on the ground. By the time his commitment to another was revealed, you'd fallen too far. So you used the ringing in your ears to drown out your conscience. You didn't want to think of the family that even now, he still loves. The family he will never leave.
In those precious hours when it was just the two of you laying limbs entangled on your bed; it was easy to lose yourself in that sexual haze, to pretend his family didn't exist.
With his warm body next to yours, you could convince yourself that there was just the two of you, the rest of the world was elsewhere.

Too soon though, for it is always too soon, he has to go. The world might've been forgotten but it was always there, knocking steadily and waiting patiently to make it's entrance into the cocoon you had woven around yourselves.

When he's gone, the ringing stops and uninvited come images of his life away from you. Her head resting on his shoulder during the evening news; their little liitle girl snuggling on her daddy's lap without a care in her world. A world you will never be a part of.

And the tears come. For the man you love completely, who will never be completely yours.

Some people are so deceitful they convince others they are honest brokers. This applies to both Men and Women.
