Autonomy Acknowledged P11 Good Husband

She’s packed. She’s glowing. Her lover is on his way.

You stay behind.

There’s a list on the table—everything she wants done before she gets home. Floors, laundry, grocery run. You don’t complain. You work. You serve.

And in your mind, you imagine her moaning for someone else. Her body wrapped around a man who can give her more than you ever could. It hurts. It burns. But it also excites you.

Because she still loves you. She said so. You’re still her husband… just not the one in her bed. Not anymore.

If this one doesn’t work out, she’ll find another. And you’ll welcome him too. Because she’s happy. And that’s all you care about.
