They had been married for 25 years. He was a very loving man. He got into a new job, new role, promoted as the CEO of a very big MNC. Everything comes in a package. The new role came with lots of responsibilities and lots of traveling. He could not give much time to his wife. Or let’s say he could not give any time et all. Either he was traveling or he was working. There were no Sundays too. His wife, who was used to having him around started feeling very lonely. She started chatting online and eventually got into an affair. He was working and never realized. Every affair has to come to into fresh air and theirs came too. He wanted to commit suicide.
He wondered what happened and what if it happens again.
So here is what happened. He nurtured his job but for got to nurture his relationship. At home, if we have four plants and we stop watering one, all three will flourish but that one will die. The relationship will die, if we are not nurturing it. So we need to make time and effort for that.
If he was working hard, she was not expecting him to talk to him for hours. But he should have given her atleast few minutes of the day. or a text saying, I miss you, I love you. When he came back, he should have given some time to her. If he cannot give everyday, at least once in a month, they should have taken out tyime for each other, to talk and feel each other.
He should have expressed his love in some or other way.
Moreover, the lady was cooperating for his work, but she also should have made an effort for the relationship. Sometimes, may be travelling together. Sometimes may be asking to go out or spending time with him. May be to tell him, that she needed him. From her side, it was the lack of communication of the feelings. We all shall tell our partners, how we feel. That heps us in taking appropriate actions.
If everything is there and relationships are not, we cannot survive. They are our back bone. So work on them, nurture them too.
