Tadashiku wa Nai Koi

Taking care of the house and being a wife. I know that's the right way to live. But for women, sometimes that's not enough.

After twenty-five years of marriage, my husband went back to his hometown, and at the age of 46, I began living alone for the first time. The only thing that saved me from my empty and suffocating days was a man who already had a family. I don't want to let go of this excitement. Am I a bad wife for thinking so?
