He always had other plans when I tried to get him involved in activities around the house.
"Babe would you like to have movie night?" I asked.
"Na hun running by the office to do some overnight review on documents " was his reply.
"How about we go grab ice cream with the kids on Sunday?" I persisted.
"Ugh damn hun I forgot to tell you the boss called staff meeting for the weekend am sorry I'll make it up to you". Another excuse.
Since when did this man start being punctual on his schedule and it also left me to wonder how he hasn't been promoted a higher rank in his field. What type of man goes to the office on a Sunday and eats out five days of the week? Surely this is not the lifestyle for a dad/husband! I like to observe though cause I ain't about to assume shit and be proven wrong so I'm on this case like a Matlock.
Sexy night wear doesn't excite him anymore, he doesn't even know how his daughter is doing in school and day by day his after work fragrance changed. Too late to eat breakfast, too tired to dine, hmm this sounds more hectic than sitting in AC chatting and signing some damn papers!
I always say to myself "before you think of cheating step out that relationship it makes no sense", but how is it that this man of my child, yes the same one I said my vows to couple years aback treating me like I have no sense!
The "shifts" got later colognes got sweeter and the body became more tired. While on my hand, the house routine was the same along with being a mom and dad to my child. "You will not feel sorry for yourself, yo mama didn't grow any fool!" I always remind myself. I still cooked, iron, wash, clean and comfort that man and my child. Yet day by day it became overwhelming. How can I be this faithful and still can't hold my family together in the church or even around the table ?
Weeks went by and I found what I was humbly waiting for. There it was, that small paper rapped tightly with lust rolled in his front pocket.
