Betrayals

— I want to get a divorce— my wife declares firmly, confidently, and without compromise.
— I didn’t understand— I say and instantly fall silent in shock.
— I mean: I want a divorce from you. You and I have had our own lives for a long time now. Our marriage is just a formality. I don’t see any sense in continuing this any further.
— Why do you suddenly want to divorce me?
— Because I love another man. We were happy until one day our marriage fell apart—and we started cheating on each other. Now my wife wants to leave me. But am I ready to let her go?
