My wife cheated on me

Dear Tita,

I love my wife Gina very much. The problem started when she began working for a new company here. Soon she often stayed out late, ostensibly to attend staff meetings, she said. I complained that she was neglecting our house and our one-year-old daughter, Mimi. But Gina said she didn’t like staying at home because I was always out travelling, being our company’s regional manager for the Visayas. I didn’t complain too much as I wanted to avoid Gina’s dark moods and tantrums, which could last for days.

One day, I had a visitor in the office – a woman named Lulu, who said she was the wife of Gina’s coworker, Ed. She told me she suspected that Ed and Gina were having an affair as it was already the talk among their coworkers. Lulu said I should investigate this immediately. That night, I confronted Gina, who tried to deny what I told her. But when I gave her details of Lulu’s report, she finally admitted everything.

She said she fell in love with Ed because I was always away. We exchanged harsh words until she shouted that she was leaving me. She left, bringing Mimi with her.

When my parents learned of what happened, they told me I shouldn’t have married Gina who was 13 years younger than I. I focused my time and energy on my work and was rewarded with a big promotion that year. Soon, I heard that Ed left Gina and went back to his wife Lulu. One day, Gina came to see me at home. She begged me to forgive her as she also lost her job and was having a very difficult time. I couldn’t turn her away as she brought our daughter with her. Seeing Gina in tears, begging forgiveness, made me realize that I still loved her despite what happened and I agreed to let her stay.

My parents were outraged when they heard what I did. They said people called me a fool but I told them it was my decision and they should accept it. Did I do the right thing?

FORGIVING HUSBAND

Dear Forgiving Husband,

Are you for real? How many men could forgive an unfaithful wife? You must really love Gina so much.

Anyway, whatever people say, it’s still your life and you should live it the way you want. Let them call you a fool – who cares? What matters is you have forgiven Gina and want to make a new life with her and your daughter Mimi. The absolute moralists will have to accept that. As I have always said, “Whatever makes you happy, go for it!”

TITA
