I have read what you are about to read before but then i had a different mindset...
You might have read it before but made no sense to you,please read it again.
“When I got home that night as my wife served dinner, I held
her hand and said, I’ve got something to tell you. She sat
down and ate quietly. Again I observed the hurt in her eyes.

his made her angry.
She threw away the chopsticks and shouted at me, you are not a man! That
night, we didn’t talk to each other. She was weeping. I knew
she wanted to find out what had happened to our marriage.
But I could hardly give her a satisfactory answer; she had lost
my heart to Jane. I didn’t love her anymore. I just pitied her!

she wanted to find out what had happened to our marriage.
But I could hardly give her a satisfactory answer; she had lost
my heart to Jane. I didn’t love her anymore. I just pitied her!
With a deep sense of guilt, I drafted a divorce agreement
which stated that she could own our house, our car, and 30%
stake of my company. She glanced at it and then tore it into
pieces. The woman who had spent ten years of her life with
me had become a stranger.

I felt sorry for her wasted time,resources and energy but I could not take back what I had said for I loved Jane so dearly. Finally she cried loudly in front
of me, which was what I had expected to see. To me her cry
was actually a kind of release. The idea of divorce which had
obsessed me for several weeks seemed to be firmer and
clearer now. The next day, I came back home very late and found her
writing something at the table. I didn’t have supper but went
straight to sleep and fell asleep very fast because I was tired
after an eventful day with Jane. When I woke up, she was still
there at the table writing. I just did not care so I turned over
and was asleep again.

In the morning she presented her divorce conditions: she
didn’t want anything from me, but needed a month’s notice
before the divorce. She requested that in that one month we
both struggle to live as normal a life as possible. Her reasons
were simple: our son had his exams in a month’s time and
she didn’t want to disrupt him with our broken marriage.

This was agreeable to me. But she had something more, she
asked me to recall how I had carried her into out bridal room
on our wedding day.
asked me to recall how I had carried her into out bridal room

She requested that every day for the month’s duration I carry her out of our bedroom to the front door ever morning. I thought she was going crazy.
Just to make our last days together bearable I accepted her odd request.
I told Jane about my wife’s divorce conditions. . She laughed
loudly and thought it was absurd. No matter what tricks she
applies, she has to face the divorce, she said scornfully.

My wife and I hadn’t had any body contact since my divorce
intention was explicitly expressed. So when I carried her out
on the first day, we both appeared clumsy. Our son clapped
behind us, daddy is holding mommy in his arms. His words
brought me a sense of pain. From the bedroom to the sitting

room, then to the door, I walked over ten meters with her in my arms.
She closed her eyes and said softly; don’t tell our
son about the divorce. I nodded, feeling somewhat upset. I
put her down outside the door. She went to wait for the bus
to work. I drove alone to the office. On the second day, both of us

acted much more easily.
She leaned on my chest. I could smell the fragrance of her blouse.
I realized that I hadn’t looked at this woman carefully for a
long time. I realized she was not young any more. There were
fine wrinkles on her face, her hair was graying! Our marriage

had taken its toll on her. For a minute I wondered what I had
done to her. On the fourth day, when I lifted her up, I felt a sense of
intimacy returning. This was the woman who had given ten
years of her life to me. On the fifth and sixth day, I realized
that our sense of intimacy was growing again. I didn’t tell

intimacy returning. This was the woman who had given ten
years of her life to me. On the fifth and sixth day, I realized
that our sense of intimacy was growing again. I didn’t tell
Jane about this.
It became easier to carry her as the month slipped by.
Perhaps the everyday workout made me stronger.
She was choosing what to wear one morning. She tried on
quite a few dresses but could not find a suitable one. Then
she sighed, all my dresses have grown bigger. I suddenly
realized that she had grown so thin, that was the reason why
I could carry her more easily. Suddenly it hit me… she had
quite a few dresses but could not find a suitable one. Then
she sighed, all my dresses have grown bigger. I suddenly
realized that she had grown so thin, that was the reason why
I could carry her more easily. Suddenly it hit me… she had
buried so much pain and bitterness in her heart.
Subconsciously I reached out and touched her head.
Our son came in at the moment and said,
Dad, it’s time to carry mom out. To him, seeing his father carrying
his mother out had become an essential part of his life.
My wife gestured to our son to come closer and hugged him tightly.
I turned my face away because I was afraid I might change my mind
at this last minute. I then held her in my arms, walking from the
at this last minute. I then held her in my arms, walking from the
bedroom, through the sitting room, to the hallway. Her
hand surrounded my neck softly and naturally. I held her
body tightly; it was just like our wedding day. But her much lighter
hand surrounded my neck softly and naturally. I held her
body tightly; it was just like our wedding day. But her much lighter
weight made me sad.
On the last day,when I held her in my arms I could hardly move a step.
Our son had gone to school. I held her tightly and said, I hadn’t
noticed that our life lacked intimacy. I drove to office….
jumped out of the car swiftly without locking the door. I was
afraid any delay would make me change my mind…I walked upstairs.

Jane opened the door and I said to her, Sorry, Jane, I
do not want the divorce anymore. She looked at me, astonished,
do not want the divorce anymore. She looked at me, astonished,
and then touched my forehead. Do you have a fever? She said.
I moved her hand off my head. Sorry, Jane, I said, I won’t divorce.
My marriage life was boring probably because she and I didn’t value the
details of our lives, not because we didn’t love each other
anymore. Now I realize that since I carried her into my home on our
details of our lives, not because we didn’t love each other
anymore. Now I realize that since I carried her into my home on our
wedding day I am supposed to hold her until death do
us apart. Jane seemed to suddenly wake up.

She gave me a loud slap and then slammed the door and burst into tears.
I walked downstairs and drove away. At the floral shop on the
way, I ordered a bouquet of flowers for my wife. The salesgirl

every morning until death do us apart. That evening I arrived home,
flowers in my hands, a smile on my face, I run up stairs, only to find my
wife in the bed -dead.
My wife had been fighting CANCER for months and I was so
busy with Jane to even notice. She knew that she would die
soon and she wanted to save me from the whatever negative
reaction from our son, in case we push through with the divorce.—
At least, in the eyes of our son—- I’m a loving
husband….

If you don’t share this, nothing will happen to you. If you do, you just might save a marriage. Many of life’s failures are people who did not realize how close they were to success when they gave up.

I remember reading this for the first time in my 200lvl. My first sch boyfy even printed it out for me...it was that serious,LMAO. That boy loved me sha even till date, but meeehn,i needed to explore besides the fact that we had conflicting views on so many issues. Second sch boyfy was the complete loverboy,very romantic,says the right things at the right time,cooks sometimes,but i was just one of many ,i hear am...hahahahahaha. Lessons learnt tho,no regrets. And now, i am at my happiest evuurr!! Will send this to my intending DH right away,it now makes sense more than it ever did. Sorry for the epistle o,i no know who send me work. Just feel like shouting so the whole world would know am happy. God is good.

DeleteNollywood ruined this nice write up, Benita Nzeribe acted it in the stupidest of ways.
ReplyDeleteHahahahahahahahaha, nollywood. Be ruining stories since 1900. Anon u so funny
DeleteI have read this story before...
ReplyDeleteWith the terms and conditions attached to divorce...I would divorce him sharp sharp and have everything for my self...
I would even call the Jane and give them my blessing...
Imagine owning almost everything he had when we divorce...choi!!...
He should go to hell mehn....
U like money and material things too much . Kai . Vanity upon vanity . After that then what? You sound like someone deprived of the good things of life when growing up, hence, your eagerness to get money and attention by hook or crook . So owing everything your husband has is your life's achievement. It's alright oo
DeleteAnon 14:22 queen said hoohaa that she had a wretched family life and her mum was a road side corn roaster, free her, the problem pushes her to be bitter, echoes from the past
DeleteSad story, iv read it before thou...
ReplyDeleteMen always thinking the other women is better than their wives because she now looks old, n ugly. Forgetting that she is that way because of you, keeping you home and having ur kids.
We all should appreciate the pple in our lives, everybody comes on here and hate and hate. The little things in life matter, showing love, care and concern to pple have a way of making them stronger. This story does not only teach a lesson to couples bt to everybody in general. Learn to love and appreciate everyone, you never knw! #nofsaid
Gbamest!! Spot on!!
DeleteI'm touched.
ReplyDeleteWow!!! Nice
ReplyDeleteSome women will come here and start praying against any 'Jane' in their marriage
I never get tired of reading this piece...
ReplyDeleteBetter get tired. Please don't put tragedy on replay....
DeleteDis got me!!! If only men wud treat deir wives well nd stop running after oda women..i jst wish rlly.
ReplyDeleteSob and pitiful stories everywhere. I want a fairy tale story of love...and yes it exists. Thank you
ReplyDeleteJust shedding tears.
ReplyDeleteI refuse to think otherwise..... Marriage is sweet, yes Sweet. Marriage stories these days hehn scares me....
ReplyDeleteI don read am b4
ReplyDeleteBut the story still looks new
Am touched.
It's the very tiny details that matters.....
ReplyDeleteLike saying I love you everyday, kissing, laughing at jokes whether funny or not, lending a shoulder in time of despair, been attentive, offering little advices where necessary and giving a hug where you can't, helping when the other is down and not nagging about it no matter how difficult it may be and sex. When I say sex I mean good sex. Not the type you do when you are so tired and just want to satisfy the other party. Not the type you feel obligated to do. Not always in the bedroom. Be that spontaneous lover he met, be a good rider and ride him to the heavens and back. Then food for some men.
Little things keep the home together. How can one forget communication. Utmost key to a successful marriage.
I heard seen people say or write you didn't know him too long before marriage, you didn't date for too long, what do you know about marriage and so many other questions but the truth is you never know anyone very much till they die. You keep learning new things about them because people change everyday. You cant be so prepared for marriage either, you learn on the job. You learn when in it, you see your mistakes and learn from them and do better tomorrow. No one is too young or too old for marriage. No one is too prepared for marriage
Soooooooo true dot com!
DeleteCongrats @supermum, God bless you and your lil angel real good.
ReplyDelete@mystery before? he will go back to Jane and she will take him with enough shakara. If his first wife was not heartbroken am sure she would have fought that cancer but without the love of her man what has she got left to fight for? Imagine her still making allowance for her mans inadequacies by presenting a false front before her son.
Women making sacrifices since 200BC.
What a touching story.
ReplyDeleteWow! Tears...
ReplyDeleteI hope he married Jane his side chick after his wife's death?
ReplyDeleteKeep enjoying yourself with Jane. Foolish man.

My wife left for USA last eight months and there after she refused to come home i called and i called and she persisted then instantly i knew something was wrong somewhere i searched for helped from the vertical to horizontal and yet to no avail. I cried and cried but she was not going to come back to me, i keep a search on internet to get suggestions from anywhere that i can then contact and i came across a testimony relating to my case with this email (dr.iyere@hotmail.com) but to say the fact though i wanted to do anything to have my wife back i still have doubt that this couldn't work cause i don't believe in superstition but i just put a trial by emailing the (dr.iyere@hotmail.com) The reply i got was striking that my wife had been spellbound by another man, i screamed help but he said not worry and instruct me what to do and i did exactly as i was instructed. to my greatest surprise two days later my wife called and she was crying to me and not knowing what to do i bust into tears too but it was a tears of joy. so i will use this medium to urge every single soul with problem of any kind to try and contact this email.
