Karma Comes Back: Husband Files for Divorce and Returns to His Ex-Wife
I always thought I was a master at playing the game of love. Yet, life taught me a harsh lesson: everything comes at a cost, and our actions inevitably catch up with us.
At twenty-five, I got married not so much out of love but from a desire to stay in a big city, far from my small hometown where everyone knew each other, and personal lives became the talk of the town. Here in the metropolis, I felt free from the prying eyes of neighbors and relatives.
A Romance with a Friend’s Boyfriend
It all began when my school friend introduced me to her boyfriend, Alex. Tall, with brown eyes and a charming smile, he immediately caught my attention. Perhaps it was the allure of the forbidden that seemed sweeter, but I set my sights on winning his heart. Alex couldn’t resist my charms, and soon we were secretly seeing each other behind his girlfriend’s back.
Our encounters were filled with passion and excitement. I didn’t limit myself to Alex alone and continued to flirt with other men, savoring the attention and the feeling of control. Alex was aware of my escapades but, being already involved, he couldn’t make demands.
One day, he saw me getting out of another man’s car. This was a turning point: Alex declared he couldn’t share me with anyone and proposed breaking up with my friend for a life together with me. I agreed, flattered by his determination and the prospect of living together, which spared me from the need to pay rent.
Boredom and Old Habits
Our cohabitation quickly turned into a routine. I began to miss the excitement and freedom of the past. When I ran into an old flame, David, I couldn’t resist diving back into past indulgences. Our meetings became regular, and I rediscovered a zest for life.
Gradually, I returned to my old ways, filled with flirting and fleeting encounters. One day, without warning Alex, I packed my things and left, leaving only a note saying we were through.
A Twist of Fate
A month later, I learned I was pregnant. Realizing I wasn’t ready for single parenthood, I went back to Alex. Upon discovering the child, he proposed to me. I accepted, hoping that building a life together for the sake of the child would bring us happiness.
A year after our son James was born, I became pregnant again. Now we had two children, and my life turned into a constant cycle of responsibilities and household chores. Alex spent more and more time at work, and I felt trapped, deprived of the freedom and joys I once had.
The Family Falls Apart
One day, arriving home, I found a note from Alex: “I’ve filed for divorce. It’s over between us.” He left, abandoning me with two little children. Later, I discovered he had gone back to his former girlfriend, the same friend from whom I had once taken him.
Now, I was alone with the children, without support or a safety net. Fate showed me that everything comes back like a boomerang, and one has to pay dearly for the mistakes of youth.
