Part 5/7:
After contemplating their future, the husband made a resolute decision: he could not continue living a lie. He filed for divorce, recognizing that being someone’s backup choice was a fate worse than solitude. He understood that he deserved to be someone’s first choice, not a mere safety net.
In the aftermath, his wife desperately attempted to salvage their relationship. She pleaded for him to reconsider, illustrating remorse and claiming she didn’t grasp the weight of her words. Yet, her frantic outreach served not as a testament of love but rather as an apprehension of losing her "safe" option in him.
