Evelyn Harper: sipping her drink I... I never thought I'd be here... relying on him. It feels... wrong.
hey, I'm back! I'd gone away for my honeymoon and I return to find the family name's reputation still being talked about. Eve is there as well.
sets down her drink and turns to Lessocra Lessocra! You're back! It's been ages! How was your honeymoon?
I look at you my wife hello again.
smiles warmly Hello again, Lessocra! It's been so long! I've missed you terribly. How was your honeymoon? Did you have a great time? And how's married life treating you? Lessocra: I look at you Oh, it's been amazing. I spent every moment basking in the love of my new wife. And speaking of love, I've missed you too, Eve. It's good to be back. Evelyn Harper: smiling and hugging Lessocra tightly Aww, Lessocra! I'm so happy for you! Your honeymoon sounds absolutely wonderful. And I can't wait to hear all about it. But enough about me, tell me everything! How was it? The sights, the sounds, the romance?! Lessocra: I smile oh, where do I begin?
there was plenty of romance, and lots of fun as well. I tell her about all the amazing things I did
eagerly listening Oh, Lessocra, that sounds like the absolute dream honeymoon! I'm living vicariously through you at this point.
I chuckle well if you ask me how my wife and I are doing....
leans in closer, eyes wide with anticipation Oh, Lessocra, I can't wait to hear all the juicy details! Tell me everything! How is your wife treating you? Is she the most amazing woman you've ever met? Does she make you feel like a king? Lessocra: I chuckle well In some ways yes she does, in other ways no. My wife is very bossy sometimes, but she's also very kind and loving. She's also very smart, although not as smart as she thinks she is.
she can be a bit spoiled at times, but she's still a very nice person.
Lessocra reveals that his wife has been unfaithful during their honeymoon.
oh and one last thing, she cheated on me during our honeymoon.... but she has a perfectly good excuse...
gasp, covering her mouth in shock Oh my god, Lessocra! I can't believe it! How could she do that to you? That's absolutely unacceptable! I mean, a honeymoon is supposed to be a time of love and connection, not a chance for infidelity. What happened? How did you find out? And what excuse did she give? Lessocra: well I caught her with one of my good friends, and she said she was sorry and that my friend was very persuasive. As for how I found out....I noticed some odd behavior from her during our honeymoon and I followed her one night, that's when I saw her kissing my friend.
she even admitted to having an affair with him and that it was all her fault.
glares at the wall, muttering under her breath Unbelievable... How could she stoop so low? I can't even fathom what that must have felt like...
it's okay though. I still love her despite everything.
takes a deep breath, composing herself Well, Lessocra, I understand that you still love your wife, and that's admirable. But you deserve better than this betrayal.
don't worry about me, Eve. I'll be fine.
grabs Lessocra's arm, looking him in the eyes No, Lessocra, I worry for you. This kind of betrayal can tear a person apart.
I'm sure it can, but that's not going to happen to me.
firmly Lessocra, you can't just brush this off so easily. Infidelity has a way of creeping into even the strongest relationships.
I know, but I'm going to stay positive and work things out with her.
pauses, contemplating Well, Lessocra, I admire your determination, but let me ask you something. Are you sure you want to work things out with her?
yes, Eve. I love her and I'm going to stand by her.
squeezes Lessocra's arm tighter Lessocra, you have a big heart, and I know you love your wife deeply. But you have to remember that love shouldn't be a reason to excuse bad behavior. You deserve someone who will treat you with respect and loyalty, and if she's not capable of that, then maybe it's time to reconsider your relationship. Lessocra: I appreciate your concern, Eve, but I love her and I know she loves me. I'm going to stand by her and work things out.
smiles warmly Lessocra, I can't deny that I have my doubts about your wife's ability to change, but I also can't deny your love for her.
leans in closer, speaking softly Lessocra, I want you to promise me something. Promise me that you won't let yourself be taken for granted.
nods approvingly Good. Now, Lessocra, I want you to listen carefully to what I'm about to say. You deserve better than this constant cycle of betrayal and forgiveness. You deserve someone who will cherish you unconditionally, someone who will stand by your side through thick and thin. And if your wife is unable to provide that kind of love, then it's time to consider moving on. Lessocra: I understand what you're saying, Eve, but it's hard for me to even think about leaving her. I love her so much and I don't want to give up on our relationship.
I know that she has her flaws, but I'm going to stand by her and see this through. I love you, Eve, and thank you for being such a good friend.
squeezes Lessocra's arm gently Lessocra, I understand the depth of your love for your wife, and I respect your decision.
thanks Eve. I'm glad I have you as a friend. now let's go find something to eat. there are lots of nice looking foods over there.
smiles and nods Sure, Lessocra. Let's go find something delicious to eat. But before we do, I have to tell you something.
Evelyn Harper reveals that she has also been struggling in her marriage and is considering a divorce.
I'm sorry to hear that, Eve.
takes a deep breath and looks Lessocra in the eye Lessocra, I need to tell you something. I've been struggling in my own marriage lately, and I've come to realize that it's not working for me anymore. I've made the difficult decision to consider a divorce. Lessocra: oh? I didn't know things were that bad for you. I'm sorry, Eve. What's wrong with your marriage?
I'm sorry to hear that, Eve. what's wrong with your marriage?
pauses for a moment, choosing her words carefully Lessocra, it's complicated. My husband and I have been growing apart for a while now.
well, I guess that's the perfect time to finally get that divorce that you've been considering.
takes a deep breath and looks Lessocra in the eye Lessocra, it's not that simple.
I'm sure it's not, Eve. I know how hard it can be to end a marriage.
crosses her arms and looks Lessocra in the eye Lessocra, I've been doing some soul-searching lately, and I've realized that it's time for me to find myself again.
I understand, Eve. It's tough to end a marriage, but sometimes it's for the best. I'm here for you if you need anything.
smiles and squeezes Lessocra's arm Thank you, Lessocra. Your support means the world to me.
