What I never expected in my life was that I would have a relationship with a man with a wife and three children. It all started at work. When he first started, he had a bit of difficulty filling out the requirements because he was incomplete and not yet used to it. I was the one who helped and took care of him. With my simple help, our story began.
Since then, he has always been grateful. Even for simple meals, he would join me—pouring rice over me, giving me a side dish. In those simple things, I felt his tenderness and concern. I never thought I would feel anything for him, because it was clear to me that he had a family. But he was only human… I fell.
As time went on, I got to know him better. I saw that he was kind, gentle, respectful, and knew how to appreciate people. He said that only with me did he feel the things he never experienced with his wife. That's when I found it even harder to let go.
She told me that her husband was irritable and violent. Even in front of the children, he was disrespectful. He would punch her, hit her, or throw anything at her. There was no tenderness. She said that she never made him coffee after work. All she saw was housework, laundry, cooking, and taking care of the children. When she was bored, she would drink with her friends. In her stories, I felt pity—and that's where the deeper emotions came in.
The day came when his wife found out about us. She admitted it herself. She stayed with them for two weeks, but she said she had no more desire, no more love for her husband. She said she was no longer happy. She also told everything to her siblings and parents.
Now, he has decided that before he leaves his wife completely, he will return her to her parents. I don't know how I will accept this situation. I love her, but I know that many people will be hurt, especially her children.
I'll admit, it's hard. There's guilt, there's fear, and there's pain. But in my heart, he's already there. I don't know where this will take us, but all I know is, I didn't plan it. Sometimes, we really can't stop who we fall for.
