A friend started an affair with a married man, but his wife turned out to be wiser
My friend had just celebrated her 25th birthday. She was young, slender, and beautiful. She had recently started working at a travel agency in London, and soon after, began an affair with her boss.
The man was over 40, married, and had two children. He started renting her a flat and showering her with expensive gifts. They were together for nearly a year.
She was aware he had a family and wasnt planning to get divorced. Yet, somehow, he began considering that it might be time to leave his wife. His wife knew her husband was seeing someone else.
He admitted his wife was suspicious. But she never spoke to him about it, never made a scene, searched his pockets, checked his phone, or caused any fuss.
Her calm and dignified behaviour made him feel guilty. His wife was loving, gentle, and caring. He began looking after her more closely, lost weight, and changed his hair colour. A few months later, when the passion between my friend and the boss had faded, his wife got a job at the agency. She became the chief accountant. My friend was terrified to collect her wages on payday, fearing thered be a confrontation. However, the wife treated her only with politeness and respect.
Over time, the director grew distant from his mistress, who began acting out in desperation. Meanwhile, his wife carried herself with genuine charm. The relationship between my friend and her boss collapsed, and he started spending his evenings at home. The turning point in this love triangle came during a business trip the three had to take together. During negotiations, my friend acted rudely, convinced her status in the company was secure because of her affair with the director.
In the end, my friend turned out worse than the wife she had replaced. The director asked her to move out of her flat and told her it was over. When my friend came back to work, she was called into the chief accountants office and told her services were no longer needed.
Even now, my friend says the one thing she truly wishes is to forget the whole story, but she remains deeply impressed by the wifes behaviour, which she still admires.
The wife proved herself to be wise and resourceful. She conducted herself so skilfully that her husband fell in love with her all over again and now adores her. However, no one knows how much she suffered, how often she cried, or how hard it was for her. She managed to pull herself together, waited for the romantic infatuation to fade, and took action. Thats how a clever woman behaves.
But what about most women? The other 90% start fighting, become angry, glare at and threaten their husbands. Meanwhile, the man is swept up in a passionate affair! Who will he choose: a grumpy wife or a tender lover? At that moment, he isnt thinking about whether his sweet new lover will, in a few years, become as dissatisfied as his wife. He simply doesnt use his head.
How does the wife understand this? Of course, her emotions get in the way. Experience has shown that only those who can be patient and act wisely come out on top.
If you discover your husband is cheating and feel like confronting his lover, take a moment to collect yourself. Calm down and consider whether theres still a chance your husband might return. Go to the gym, see a beautician, or speak to a counsellor. Visit the hairdresser. Enrol in classes. Take dance lessons. Find an interesting job or switch careers. Start loving and respecting yourself!
