I don't know what I did wrong. I tried being a good mother and wife. It just wasn't enough. Is nurturing , loving, and caring enough? We've been married for 10 years. Where have it all gone How can I get it back?

"Mommy, Mommy," says my 4 year old daughter Elizabeth tugging on my pants. "Sweety, I'm on the phone," I replied picking her up. "Mommy I'm thirsty," she said playing with the phone on the side of my ear. "Okay well see you at tomorrow's book club meeting Martha. alright goodbye." I put the phone down and started fixing Elizabeth juice. "Mommy, I can't wait to show daddy my drawing from earlier. When is he coming home," Elizabeth said drinking her juice. Truth be told he comes home at the middle of the night coming from "work" everyone knows other wise. Let's not get into this just thinking about it makes my skin crawl. "Daddy will be home later. Just drink your juice, because after you will be taking a nap," I said wanting to change the subject. "Noooo," Elizabeth whined.

Later on that day

Ring Ring Ring ! I hear than have see phone ringing knowing it might be "her" about to telling me my husband is going to come home late so they can have sex... I mean finish work. "Hello" I said knowing what was to come next."Katherine it's me Calum." What a surprise to hear his voice instead of "hers." " I just called to say I would be coming home early today." What another surprise she probably called in sick better yet got hit by a car. "You should get dinner ready, bye," he said before hanging up. No I love you , how was your day... nothing. Just get dinner ready. I started preparing dinner when I heard the phone ringing again. Unknown caller was on the phone. Hesitate yes, but I was curious to see who it was so I picked it up. "Hello," I said sweetly. "Umm is Calum... I mean Mr. Hood there." The nerve of that slut to call my phone. today is full of surprises I see. "What do you need with my husband," I said with a sharp tone to my voice." Ummm sorry to disturb you Mrs. Hood" Click! She hung up leaving me puzzled of why she might be calling my phone to speak to my husband of what ever. Boom! the door slammed snapping me out of my thoughts and into anger. "Is the food ready," Calum says walking towards the kitchen. "Why is your receptionist calling this phone from an unknown number," I said trying to get to the bottom of the situation. "Abigail," he says acting dumb. "Whatever her name is, why is she calling this phone?" "Soon as I come home you want to start this bullshit," he voice now roaring."Are you having an affair with her," I said getting madder than before. "What," he said confused. "Are you fucking her?" "No," he says shocked. "What is your problem,"he yells. "You come home late, never want to have sex anymo- "Is it about sex he says cutting me off." "No its... nothing." I said sighing. We ate dinner in silence. he didn't look up from his plate and neither did I.

Later that Night

I woke up in the middle of the night. I couldn't sleep, I never could sleep after we argued. Suddenly, I heard mumbling, "what did I tell you" It was Calum. Stop calling I'll check up on you, not the other way around. I got up to move closer to hear better. "Just stop calling" There was a pause. " Are you sure you pregnant" I was shocked. "How far along are you" Another pause. "4 weeks, I'll call you its late,"he says hanging up. Tears are now streaming down my face. Calum then comes in the room. "You're up late," he says. I just stared at the wall behind him. "Kath-how could you get her pregnant," I said cutting him off. "I'm sorry", he saying coming closer to me. "Don't touch me", I say now yelling. "Get out", I say before he tried to talk. "Baby, I'm sorry what do you want me to do,"he says still trying to come closer."Get or fix it... before I do."
