Chapter 7
The next day, I waited until my husband left for work before I started getting ready. Once I confirmed he was at the office around noon, I hurried to the park to meet Floyd Wade.
I didn’t hold back. I openly admitted that I was indeed attracted to him but felt it was a terrible betrayal of my marriage. Tearfully, I reflected and repented in his arms.
Floyd Wade felt for my situation and seriously analyzed it with me, telling me that it wasn’t my fault.
“If it weren’t for Jed’s unusual preferences and his pressure on you to do those degrading things, would you have developed feelings for someone else? I know you’re

a good woman. Whether Jed wants you to physically or emotionally cheat, it brings you immense pain. Ultimately, this is all Jed’s fault. If he truly loved you, how could he bear to make you do such things?”
Through my sobs, I asked him, “Do you also think my husband no longer loves me?”
Floyd Wade answered decisively, “Of course. As a man, no one would allow the woman he truly cherishes to be with another man, unless she means nothing to him. I don’t mean to speak ill of Jed, but what he’s doing is inhumane.”
I found comfort in his words and gradually felt convinced by Floyd.
I asked him, “So what should I do next?”
With a tender gaze, Floyd Wade suggested,

“You should divorce Jed. I’ll support you.”
The word “divorce” made me hesitate again. I couldn’t decide for a long time.
“Floyd, let me think about it a little more.”
Divorce isn’t easy; I couldn’t imagine admitting to my husband that I’d fallen for someone else.
Besides, I’d only known Floyd Wade for a few months. Could it really compare to the years I’ve spent with my husband?
These uncertainties left me restless at home for days until I finally received my husband’s
response.
Since I last asked him if he feared I might actually cheat, our communication had dwindled. I realized that our once loving

relationship had become bland and passionless.
In a heavy tone, he said to me, “Honey, I’ve thought long and hard. I can’t accept you loving someone else, but I really can’t change my preferences. Even if you don’t cheat with Floyd, I’ll find myself imagining you with another man. I know this will only make you more miserable, so please, hang in there a bit longer.”
At his final words, I became utterly disheartened.
My husband was now a shadow of who he used to be, his mind overtaken by his peculiar interests, carelessly disregarding how I felt.
With a cold expression and after a long silence, I finally spoke the words I’d been

thinking for so long.
“Honey, let’s get a divorce.”
