Tears In My Eye! by LOVE4BUG(f): 9:24am On Aug 26, 2010
Oh God!!! I can't stop crying.

Please read very carefully.


When I got home that night as my wife served dinner, I held her hand and said,
I've got something to tell you. She sat down and ate quietly. Again I observed
the hurt in her eyes.


Suddenly I didn't know how to open my mouth. But I had to let her know what I
was thinking. I want a divorce. I raised the topic calmly.


She didn't seem to be annoyed by my words, instead she asked me softly, why?

I avoided her question. This made her angry. She threw away the chopsticks and
shouted at me, you are not a man! That night, we didn't talk to each other. She
was weeping. I knew she wanted to find out what had happened to our marriage.
But I could hardly give her a satisfactory answer; she had lost my heart to
Jane. I didn't love her anymore. I just pitied her!


With a deep sense of guilt, I drafted a divorce agreement which stated that she
could own our house, our car, and 30% stake of my company.


She glanced at it and then tore it into pieces. The woman who had spent ten
years of her life with me had become a stranger. I felt sorry for her wasted
time, resources and energy but I could not take back what I had said for I loved
Jane so dearly. Finally she cried loudly in front of me, which was what I had
expected to see. To me her cry was actually a kind of release. The idea of
divorce which had obsessed me for several weeks seemed to be firmer and clearer
now.


The next day, I came back home very late and found her writing something at the
table. I didn't have supper but went straight to sleep and fell asleep very fast
because I was tired after an eventful day with Jane.


When I woke up, she was still there at the table writing. I just did not care so
I turned over and was asleep again.


In the morning she presented her divorce conditions: she didn't want anything
from me, but needed a month's notice before the divorce. She requested that in
that one month we both struggle to live as normal a life as possible. Her
reasons were simple: our son had his exams in a month's time and she didn't want
to disrupt him with our broken marriage.


This was agreeable to me. But she had something more, she asked me to recall how
I had carried her into out bridal room on our wedding day.


She requested that every day for the month's duration I carry her out of our
bedroom to the front door ever morning. I thought she was going crazy. Just to
make our last days together bearable I accepted her odd request.


I told Jane about my wife's divorce conditions. . She laughed loudly and thought
it was absurd. No matter what tricks she applies, she has to face the divorce,
she said scornfully.


My wife and I hadn't had any body contact since my divorce intention was
explicitly expressed. So when I carried her out on the first day, we both
appeared clumsy. Our son clapped behind us, daddy is holding mommy in his arms.
His words brought me a sense of pain. From the bedroom to the sitting room, then
to the door, I walked over ten meters with her in my arms. She closed her eyes
and said softly; don't tell our son about the divorce. I nodded, feeling
somewhat upset. I put her down outside

the door. She went to wait for the bus to work. I drove alone to the office.

On the second day, both of us acted much more easily. She leaned on my chest. I
could smell the fragrance of her blouse. I realized that I hadn't looked at this
woman carefully for a long time. I realized she was not young any more. There
were fine wrinkles on her face, her hair was graying! Our marriage had taken its
toll on her. For a minute I wondered what I had done to her.


On the fourth day, when I lifted her up, I felt a sense of intimacy returning.
This was the woman who had given ten years of her life to me.


On the fifth and sixth day, I realized that our sense of intimacy was growing
again. I didn't tell Jane about this. It became easier to carry her as the month
slipped by. Perhaps the everyday workout made me stronger.


She was choosing what to wear one morning. She tried on quite a few dresses but
could not find a suitable one. Then she sighed, all my dresses have grown
bigger. I suddenly realized that she had grown so thin, that was the reason why
I could carry her more easily.


Suddenly it hit me, she had buried so much pain and bitterness in her heart.
Subconsciously I reached out and touched her head.


Our son came in at the moment and said, Dad, it's time to carry mom out. To him,
seeing his father carrying his mother out had become an essential part of his
life. My wife gestured to our son to come closer and hugged him tightly. I
turned my face away because I was afraid I might change my mind at this last
minute. I then held her in my arms, walking from the bedroom, through the
sitting room, to the hallway. Her hand surrounded my neck softly and naturally.
I held her body tightly; it was just like our wedding day.


But her much lighter weight made me sad. On the last day, when I held her in my
arms I could hardly move a step. Our son had gone to school. I held her tightly
and said, I hadn't noticed that our life lacked intimacy.


I drove to office, jumped out of the car swiftly without locking the door. I
was afraid any delay would make me change my mind, I walked upstairs. Jane
opened the door and I said to her, Sorry, Jane, I do not want the divorce
anymore.


She looked at me, astonished, and then touched my forehead. Do you have a fever?
She said. I moved her hand off my head. Sorry, Jane, I said, I won't divorce. My
marriage life was boring probably because she and I didn't value the details of
our lives, not because we didn't love each other anymore. Now I realize that
since I carried her into my home on our wedding day I am supposed to hold her
until death do us apart.


Jane seemed to suddenly wake up. She gave me a loud slap and then slammed the
door and burst into tears. I walked downstairs and drove away.


At the floral shop on the way, I ordered a bouquet of flowers for my wife. The
salesgirl asked me what to write on the card. I smiled and wrote, I'll carry you
out every morning until death do us apart.


That evening I arrived home, flowers in my hands, a smile on my face, I run up
stairs, only to find my wife in the bed - dead.

My wife had been fighting CANCER for months and I was so busy with Jane to even
notice. She knew that she would die soon and she wanted to save me from the
whatever negative reaction from our son, in case we push thru with the
divorce.-- At least, in the eyes of our son--- I'm a loving husband,


The small details of your lives are what really matter in a relationship. It is
not the mansion, the car, property, the money in the bank. These create an
environment conducive for happiness but cannot give happiness in themselves. So
find time to be your spouse's friend and do those little things for each other
that build intimacy. Do have a real happy marriage!

I can't believe a man can do this to his family ***** still crying.
Re: Tears In My Eye! by Cute500(f): 9:36am On Aug 26, 2010
This Left Tears in my eyes. such a sad tale.  cry

Marriage is for better and for worse. Even when you feel like ur not connecting with your husband/wife as much as you did, it wuldnt hurt to go that extra mile to please each other. Whats the point of cheating anyway? I culdnt get myself to cheat even if i was bored to death. Well, Life is a strange place indeed.

Re: Tears In My Eye! by MOBO444(f): 10:10am On Aug 26, 2010
LoveBug now don’t even start a male bashing thread, she (black wife) deserve all she got divorce and all and even more, the man has the right to move on and she was been paid, she should have treated him right when she had the chance and not been negative, he found a new girl and the lack brother is MOVING ON.
Lovebug don’t lose the respect I have for you since that last incidence were I made an error exposure about you (I am still not happy the nairaland admin deleted that thread and you caused it), don’t lose the respect left I have for you, all you black women want is to have us sit at home 24 hours so you can mouth off (and say the guy no dey try).
Re: Tears In My Eye! by tosyne007(m): 10:55am On Aug 26, 2010
Got this from FB i'm sure. Still a sad tale anyway and emphasises the importance of communication in relationship and marriages.

Communication is key in everything we do in life.

Beautiful testimonial of love and sacrifice.
Would make a great soap opera.

But as we all can guess, this never happened in Nigeria.

There is no way a wife can have cancer in Nigeria and keep it a secret, even if she is dumb.
Nigerians are the most dramatic creatures on earth and I enjoy watching them on the streets than even viewing TV.
Have you not seen the serio-comic drama of Nigerians on Facebook?

It is only in Nigeria that people fast and pray for every basic need, even for light, water and going to toilet.
Oh, God. Make light come today oh!
Even if PHCN dey strike, Baba do am for me oh.
You said let there be light and one time, light just appear. Papa, na you biko. (a popular chorus on miracles follows.)


To gain admission is a miracle.
To pass exams is a miracle.
To get a job is a miracle.
To get a wife or husband is a miracle.
To get a Visa to US, wow! That is a mighty miracle!

Don't even mention that you are ill, because the devil or a witch is at work even when God knows the illness was caused by dirty habits and dirty surroundings from Lagos to Abuja. CANCER?
A Nigerian wife would have alerted even the GO of her church, the TV stations, daily news papers, etc.

DIVORCE ME?
A Nigerian wife would break into speaking in tongues to curse all her enemies.
She would strip unclothed to fast and pray for a miracle.

Tears ke?
If na Okoya Tejuoso wife, she go do thanksgiving before alarming City People and National Encomium for maximum exposure of the SCANDAL.
Na front page news.

You won divorce me, because of one husband snatcher!
God forbid!
You go kill me today oh!
I go unclothed for you oh!
Ma toto no do you again abi?
Na Jane toto sweet pass, shebi?

Chineke!
Tufiakwa!
