As I lay next to my sleeping wife, a Facebook notification broke the silence. It was a friend request from someone from my past. Curiosity got the better of me, so I accepted the request and reached out to her. “Do we know each other?” I asked. Her response left me stunned. “I heard you got married, but I still love you.”
Memories of our time together flooded back as I looked at her beautiful profile picture. Yet, as I glanced at my wife, peacefully slumbering after a long day of work, I realized something powerful. Despite being in a new place, away from the comfort of her family, she felt safe beside me. In her parents’ home, she had the support of loved ones who wiped away her tears, made her laugh, and spoiled her with affection. And now, she had placed all her trust in me.
Deeply moved by her vulnerability and the sacrifices she had made, I made a decision that defined who I wanted to be. With a determined click, I pressed “BLOCK” on the old flame’s profile. I turned back to my precious wife and found solace in her presence.
In that moment, I embraced my role as a man, not a child. I made a promise to be faithful to her, and that promise would never waver. I knew I had to fight against the temptation to cheat on my wife and devastate our family.
