THIS STORY IS SO TOUCHING ITS A MUST READ STORY. IF YOU ARE IN A RELATIONSHIP, MARRIED OR SINGLE READ THIS YOU WILL KNOW WHY AT THE END... When i got home that night as my wife served dinner, i held her hand & said, iv got something to tell you. She sat down & ate quietly. Again i observed the hurt in her eyes. Suddenly i dint 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 dint 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 dint 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 dint love her any more, i just pitted 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 & energy but i could not take back for 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 relief. The idea of divorce which had obsessed me for several weeks seemed to be firmer & clear now. The next day i came back home very late & found her writting somethin at the table. I dint have supper but went strait to sleep & slept very fast because i was tired after an eventful night with jane. When i woke up, she was still there at the tablewriting. i just dint care so i turned & slept. In the morning she presented her divorce conditions: she dint want anything from me, but needed a months 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 exams in a months time & she dint 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 our bridal room on our wedding day.She requested that every day for the months duration i carry her out of our bedroom to the front door every morning. I thought she was going crazy. Just to make our last days bearable i accepted her odd request. I told Jane about my wifes 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 & i hadnt 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 mummy in his arms. His words brought me a sense of pain.From the bedroom to the sittingroom then to the door, i walked over ten meters with her in my arms. she closed her eyes and softly said,dont 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 realised that i hadnt looked at this woman carefully for a long time. I realised she was not young anymore,they were fine wrinkles on her face, her hair was graying!Our marriage has taken its toll on her. For a minute i wondered what i had done to her. On the fourth day, when i lifted her i felt a sense of intimacy returning. this is the woman who had given ten years of her life to me. on the fifth & sixth day, i realised that our sense of intimacy was growing again. I dint 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 realised 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 & bitterness in her heart. Subconsciously i reached out & touched her head. Our son came in at the moment & said, daddy its 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 & 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 bedroom to the sitting room, to the hallway. Her hand surrounded my neck softly & 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 & sai, i hadnt 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 wuold make me change my mind... i walked upstairs. Jane opened the door and i said to her Sorry, Jane i dont want the divorce anymore. she locked at me, astonished, & then touched my forehead, do you have a fever? she said. I moved her hand off my head. Sorry Jane i wont divorce. My marriage life was boring probably because she and i didnt value the details orf our lives, not because we didnt love each other anymore. Now i realise that since i carried her into my home on our wedding day im suppose to hold her till death do us apart. Jane seemed to suddenly wake up. she gave me a loud slap & then slammed the door & burst nto tears. I walked downstairs & drove away. At the floral shop on the way, i ordered a bouquet of flowers for my wife. The sales girl asked me what to write on the card, i smiled & wrote, i willm carry you out every morning untill 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 bed, DEAD. My wife had been fighting CANCER for months & i was so busy with Jane to notice. She knew that she would die soon & she wanted to save me from whatever negative reaction from our son, incase we push hrough divorce. At least in the eyes of our son, im a loving husband... The small details of our 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 conductive for happiness but cannot give happiness in themselves. so find time to be your spouse friend and do those little things for each other that build intimacy. Do have a real happy marriage!!! If you dont share this nothing will happen to you. But if you do you might just save a marriage
