Marital Infidelity Novels & Stories

I answered. Umiling ito na parang hindi naniniwala. "You said it like it was easy but you know that it is not. Long distance relationship won't work. Especially if both parties don't have any assurance." Frustrated na sagot nito. I understand her. Kung ako ang nasa posisyon nito ay baka naghi-hysterical na din ako. "Marry me, then." Natulala ito at hindi nakapagsalita. Mukhang hindi nito inaasahan ang sinabi ko.

Para mas makilala ang isa’t-isa ay hinayaan nilang magkwento ang mga ito tungkol sa buhay nila. “Nakipag divorce Ako sa una kong asawa dahil niloko ako nito.” panimula ni Lucil na naging dahilan para ma-intriga ang mga kaharap at makinig talaga sa kanya. “Nagpakasal ako sa best friend niya. Sa una, naging masaya naman ang pagsasama namin. Minahal naman namin Ang isa't-isa. Hanggang sa nahuli ko nalang siya na may ibang babae at buntis na pala ito.” Agad na itinungga ni Lucil ang Isang shot glass na may lamang alak. Napasinghap ang mga kasamahan niya at nakaramdam sila ng awa para kay Lucil. Hindi nila inakala na sa likod ng mga ngiti nito ay may mabigat pala itong dinadala.

I say which caught Thirdy's attention. "Why would a husband cheat on his wife?" Tumingin ako kay Thirdy pagkarinig sa tanong niya bago sumagot. “Lack of intimacy, communication and friendship gone away.” Nagitla ako nang makitang lumalapit sa akin si Thirdy. Bigla akong nataranta at hindi malaman ang gagawin ng mga oras na ito. Pinagdikit ko ng maigi ang aking mga hita at walang ano-ano'y pinikit ang aking mga mata. I silently waited until a soft poked on my forehead erased everything I am thinking.

“I am a player. You know that, right? I don’t mind sharing you with another man. Huwag mo ring pakikialaman ang mga affairs ko.” “Marriage is a commitment, Jayzee! It’s either you commit yourself to me, or don’t commit at all.” “You know from the start that I wasn’t capable of committing myself.” “So, you want to get out of this marriage. Iyon ba ang ibig mong sibihin?” “You can say that. Unfortunately, hindi grounds ang infidelity sa annulment. Kaya’t pagtiisan nating dalawa ang kasal na ginusto mo.”

But I was wrong, because I didn’t see it coming that she would be able to cheat on me even though I showered her with luxury and all she wanted. ‘I couldn’t help but to ask and blame myself. Why would my ex-wife have the guts to cheat on me? I did everything to her. I loved her, but still, she chose to commit infidelity to the other man. It was painful to me, but this was the reality, and not all marriages have a happy ending, because there was still the other side of it, and it was the broken or failed marriage.’

He never forgets to update me and he always calls me at night. Nakangiti ako habang pinapanood ko ang aking mga magulang na masayang naghahanda para sa Noche Buena mamaya. Paano kaya nila napapanatili ang kanilang pagmamahal sa isa't-isa? Watching the people around me, most of the couples and married ones do break up in the same reason, infidelity. Nabibilang na lang sa mga darili ang mga mag-asawang nagtatagal. You will never know what may happen tomorrow. Your partner may be in love with you right now, but tomorrow is uncertain, and everything is possible to happen.

I thought they were regular health check-ups. Noong lumaki na ako saka niya lang pinaliwanag sa akin na nagpapagamot siya sa isang therapist. Her failed marriage with dad caused her post traumatic stress disorder and she went into theraphy for a year. Maybe she is fine now or maybe she's good at hiding it. In all different ways, huge or small, someone's infidelity always causes a fair share of damage, to the perpetrator and to the victims. "I'm sorry Sage. Hindi ko intensyon na iparamdam sa iyo iyon." I held her hand as I said my sincerest apologies.

Giit niya sa isip nito habang nakatingin siya sa litrato nilang dalawa nung araw ng kanilang kasal. “Anak, tama ba ang nais mong makipag hiwalay na sa asawa mo” mahinaong sabi ng ina habang sila’y kumakain. Ipinagtapat na ni Mateo sa ina ang tungkol sa dating asawa nito. Halos di makapaniwala ang ina sa kanyang nalaman sa anak. Gusto niya ito makita. Nasasabik siyang makita ang manugang na inakala niyang patay na ito. Walang mapagsidlan ang kanyang galak na makita itong muli. Pero dahil delikado pa ang lagay ng dating asawa sa pangambang baka malaman ng taong gustong mawala siya. Kaya mas pinili nilang huwag muna sa ngayon.

Siguro dahil sa unang pagkakataon matapos ang lahat ng nangyari, malinaw sa akin ang isang bagay. Ayokong takbuhan ang sitwasyong ito. Ayokong tratuhin ang kasal namin bilang isang pagkakamali na kailangan lang naming tiisin. “If after a year nothing changes…” mahinahon kong dagdag. “If we’re still unhappy, if this marriage still doesn’t work… then we can get a divorce.” A year. Isang taon. Isang taon na susubukan naming maging mag-asawa.

There's something controversial posted there again and it is still about her. A bold and highlighted title at the top of the forum caught her eye...

Talagang hindi siya titigilan ng pamilyang Villafuente. They would always find a way to ruin her. Pero hindi naman niya hahayaan na magtagumpay ang mga ito.
