A few weeks later she returns to the place where she saw the other man. Again he appears. This time he approaches her. He extends his hand to take hers. He says hello. All she can think about is how nice this new man, who she hardly knows, makes her feel.
She partakes in innocent conversation. He is kind and attentive to her. She feels something warm inside. However, she is a respectable woman who truly loves her husband and children with all of her heart. There is no way that her feeling of excitement for this new man will ever amount to anything tangible. She keeps this new man at an arm’s length distance.
The new man is captivated by her beauty. He quickly identifies his attraction to her. He senses a mutual special feeling. However, he recognizes the fact that she is a married woman and respects her position.
She remains devoted to her husband and wants to improve her marriage. She asks her husband to address various shortcomings within their marriage. Sadly, he is unwilling to oblige. She begins to feel slighted.
At some point in the future, the woman and the new man share an experience where their emotions consume them, and a kiss allows both of them to have a remarkable feeling of tender affection for each other. They feel a distinct passion that only exists between lovers. A tender embrace follows, and a blissful feeling of love runs through their veins like rushing blood.
Later she returns to her home. Her husband and children are at the dinner table waiting for her. She graciously takes her seat at the table, appearing to be totally focused on her family. However, she is distracted with deep thoughts of her new love. How had it happened? More importantly, why had it happened?
Her husband begins talking to her about a family vacation that he is planning in the weeks ahead. The kids start talking about their unique experiences at school. However, she is not fully engaged with her family because her mind is on her new love.

Astonishing Joseph. I did not expect you to post something like this?!?! I have mixed feelings about this. On one hand the women is lucky enough to have felt the impact of love from another human being. I think there are many people out there that will never experience that. Secondly a decision to be happy is easier when you are a relationship jumper. If that person never came a long she would have possible stayed in that stagnant marriage until something else happened like death. It saddens me that the reality is marriage isn’t forever in most cases.This topic has led me into my existentialist old self,love sucks and why bother?…
I am full of surprises LL. Thank you for thoughtful comment. 😉
