Affair, Jealousy, Desperation: I Want to Hold My Wife Again

Synopsis

“I want to have a child…”

Even in marriage, a casual comment can become a heavy burden.

It’s been 5 years since we got married, but we haven’t had sex in about 3 years.

When Maiyu said she wanted a child, I was still new to marriage and inexperienced at work. I couldn’t help but worry whether I could properly raise a child in this situation. Even when she approached me repeatedly wanting intimacy, I kept refusing.

I thought her advances had stopped… until I caught a glimpse of her phone. It showed messages with another man—her affair partner.

I had grown complacent in our marriage, selfishly assuming she understood me, and this was the result of my negligence… it was my fault. I had been the one isolating her.

What Maiyu truly wanted wasn’t a child, but my love and affection.

Oblivious to this, I had pushed her away for three years. Anger at myself, regret, and shame overwhelmed me.

I love Maiyu… I don’t want to lose her… I can’t stand the thought of another man taking her from me!

After discovering my wife’s infidelity, I changed.

I started making breakfast, invited her on dates, talked and laughed together like before, apologized for my negligence, and honestly shared my feelings.

“I want to have sex with Maiyu again.”

Our first time in three years was filled with tension, excitement, and anticipation—like the very first time we ever made love.

Maiyu is truly the best. I can’t live without her.
