Last Night, His Wife Said She Wants To Leave Him And That He Drove Her Into Another Man’s Arms, But Then She Changed Her Mind
Yesterday at 2 p.m., this 33-year-old man’s 32-year-old wife was supposed to have left work. He called her around then to ask if she could pick up lettuce on her way home so he could make burgers for them, but he was surprised that his call went directly to voicemail.
He called his wife a few more times as time went by, but at 4 p.m., he still hadn’t heard from her, so he called her office.
The girl who picked up the phone informed him that his wife had gone home at 2, so he started to panic, thinking something terrible had happened to his wife.
Eventually, his wife returned his calls and apologized while claiming she had to stay late at the office.
He instantly called her out for lying to him before pointing out that she had lied to him about her whereabouts multiple times.
His wife admitted to him she’s unhappy and wanted to rehash the last biggest fight they had gotten into, which ended with him researching some therapists they could see together.
But anyway, his wife mentioned on their call that she had already done everything to make their marriage work and that she’s exhausted.
“We go back and forth about how we are both trying our hardest,” he explained. “Things got silent for a bit, and I asked her if there was someone else.”
“She didn’t want to admit it at first, but then she finally told me that, yes, there is someone else. This broke my heart. I kept asking what I can do to fix this to keep this relationship and if there was a path forward for us. She seemed to have already made up her mind.”

They ended up discussing this topic for hours on end, and his wife made it obvious that she was over their marriage.
She even blamed him for driving her into another man’s arms. They began to talk about how they should handle living arrangements and their kids, considering their marriage is coming to an end.
An hour after they had wrapped that up, he found his wife on the phone with someone, and when she hung up, she had more to say to him.
His wife blurted out an apology and informed him that their marriage is worthwhile, and she shouldn’t leave him.
She also maintained that she had made some kind of a mistake in wanting to end their marriage at all.
“I do still love her, and I want more than anything to be with her,” he said. “I am currently making arrangements to put myself into therapy with the hopes that if I can become a better listener and not dismiss her feelings that we can make this work.”
“I am so hurt that she cheated on me, and I am hurt that after 15 years, she was willing to give up. How do I change so I can be what she needs? How do I temper my fear that I’m not enough for her? How do we salvage this so we can find happiness?”
