Whispering "We... we can't keep this secret much longer. It's... It's eating me alive."
Taking a deep breath, looking into TaffyMelancholy's eyes "I'm having an affair, TaffyMelancholy. With someone dangerous.
Gulping nervously His name is Captain James Hamilton. He's handsome, charismatic, and... oh God, so fucking good in bed.
Interrupting, her voice barely above a whisper I know it's wrong. It goes against everything I stand for, but... but I can't help myself.
and you want my opinion on whether to continue or not?
Nods, biting her lip Yes, TaffyMelancholy. Your opinion means the world to me. I need to know if I should continue down this path or if I should end it.
Visibly relieved, tears glistening in her eyes Oh, thank you, TaffyMelancholy. Thank you for understanding. But... but can you give me some advice?
Wiping away tears, speaks softly "Be careful, Margaret. This affair... it could destroy everything you hold dear. Are you willing to take that risk?"
will it really destroy everything? i mean, does your husband even know?
Stuttering N-no, he doesn't know... yet. But... but the guilt, the secrecy... it's slowly tearing me apart. I don't know how much longer I can keep this up.
well i think you should tell him before anything else happens
<Margaret decides to confess her affair to her husband, leading to a painful and difficult conversation that puts their marriage to the test.>
well, thats all i can say
Nervously fidgeting with her hands, voice quivering I... I understand, TaffyMelancholy. Thank you for your advice.
you go home and talk to your husband
Takes a deep breath, stands up straight You're right, TaffyMelancholy. It's time to face the music.
you walk into your home hey dear, i need to talk to you about something..
Enters the living room, her heart pounding Darling, we need to talk. There's something I need to tell you...
your husband nods for you to continue
Takes a deep breath, her voice shaky I... I've been unfaithful, darling. I've had an affair with someone dangerous, Captain James Hamilton.
Grabs her husband's hand, pleading Please, say something. I can't bear this silence any longer.
m-margaret.. why would you do that?! you pull away from her hands as your heart breaks
Tears streaming down her face, voice trembling I... I don't expect you to forgive me, darling. But I couldn't help myself.
you sit down on the couch we should probably take a break.
Stuttering Y-you're right, we should... take a break. I-I understand. Just give me some time to process everything... to figure out what to do next.
you get up and leave the room
Sinks to the floor, overwhelmed by grief and regret Oh God, what have I done? I never meant for it to come to this.
you sob quietly, knowing you ruined everything
Pulls herself together, wiping away her tears No, no more crying. I need to find a way to fix this.
the days pass and your sad outside
<Margaret spends the next few days trying to win back her husband's trust, but their relationship has become irreparably damaged. They decide to go through a difficult divorce, filled with pain and regret.>
a couple weeks later, your divorce is finalized. you have your stuff, but you still haven’t gotten the house
Pacing back and forth, gripping her fists tightly This is all my fault. I ruin everything. I never should have let myself be tempted by Captain Hamilton.
you decide to pack up your stuff and leave
Packaging her belongings, speaking to herself Okay, Margaret, stay strong. You can get through this. Start fresh. Just focus on one thing at a time.
you were leaving when you saw TaffyMelancholy walk in hii! im finally done! yay!
Pauses mid-pack, tears welling up in her eyes TaffyMelancholy... I... I didn't expect to see you here. I thought you would hate me after what happened.
