The Other Woman Who Came Between Us
Stacy had been with her husband for over 5 years. They had built a life together filled with love, laughter, and cherished memories. So when Stacy had discovered that her husband had been having an affair behind her back, she was hurt and devastated. Stacy, saying It was like my world had come crashing down, and I didn't know what to do or how to react.
Stacy confronted her husband about the affair At first, he denied it, saying Stacy there is no one else, but when she presented the evidence to him, he couldn't keep up the lies any longer. He told her that he was sorry, that it had been a moment of weakness, and that he wanted to make their marriage work. Stacy was torn between the love she still had for him and the betrayal that had shattered the trust for him.
They tried counseling, but every time they thought they we were making progress, Stacy found out that her husband was still in contact with the woman that he was cheating with. It was like he couldn't let go of her, and it was tearing their marriage apart. One night Bradley thought Stacy was sleeping he decided to go in the other room and make a phone call. Stacy gets out of bed and walks to the bedroom that Bradley was in and pits her ear to the door and over hears Bradley saying yes baby I’m your work husband. Stacy would stay up late at night wondering if he was on the phone talking to his so called work wife, and the thought of them together made Stacy blood boil.
One day, Stacy, saying she couldn't take it anymore. She confronted her husband and asked him why he couldn't let her go. His answer surprised her. He told her that he loved her but he loved his wife more, and that he couldn't bear the thought of losing his wife. He had her confused. Stacy says How could you love us both at the same time?
As they both talked and come up with a solution, Bradley explained to his wife that he had been searching for that missing void something that he thought was missing in their marriage. But Stacy saying Bradley never spoken up about this, but over the years, Bradley said had felt unappreciated, unseen, and undervalued. He thought he had found that missing piece with the woman he was cheating with, but in the end, Bradley realized that the love we had built over 5 years was worth more than a fling.
Stacy and Bradley decided to start over, but this time, with open and honest communication. They both promised to always tell each other how they felt and to work through their problems together. It wasn’t easy, but every day they seemed to be get stronger. I know now that true love doesn't mean a life without struggles, but it does mean having the courage to face them head-on, together.
