Adultery A Wife's anxiety (Completed)

[HB201415]

Though it is very unlikely that a woman would go to this extent for revenge (more likely a headstrong woman like Swetha wouldn’t settle for anything less than a divorce), can it be said with certainty that things like this can never happen. We have read many instances of people behaving in a manner astounding to us. Human nature is really unpredictable in this aspect. Though unlikely I would think we cannot definitely rule out that this would never have happened. Anyway, readers can be of different opinion. Let’s just say we can agree to disagree. There is no feminist advocacy intended here, just a reality that there are two sets of rules that govern our society, primarily because our is still a largely patriarchal society. Those are facts, no intention of advocating any norms of behaviour on anyone.  
 
This story was written first, way before – My wife, why did she betray me. Maybe you can say this story influenced me when I was writing that story and not vice versa. In My wife, why did she betray me, I had to follow certain aspects of the original author of the first part as far as the characters involved were concerned. The main person (Saravanan) was someone who was determined not to let his marriage fail and was willing to forgive and forget whatever come may so that there is no effect on his good name. The wife (Meera) was someone who would kill herself if the affair become known. She would say in the first part of the story that she felt like killing herself for what she did. Only the thought of leaving her husband suffer alone with the children prevented her from doing it. She also says that the pleasure he (Prabu) showed her the first time they had sex made her shamelessly give in to Prabu again and again. Nevertheless she was the type only being able to go through with it as long as she feels her husband is not hurt by it because he knew nothing of it. The Prabu character, though professing to value friendship, was someone untrustworthy as his plan in becoming close to the family was always with the ulterior motive of seducing his friend’s wife. The conclusion of that story, keeping these basic characterisations intact, could have been in many ways. Each would not have been satisfying to some section of the readers.  
 
The characters in this story (A Wife’s Anxiety) I believe fundamentally differ from those of that story. Anyways thank you as well as all the readers who have taken interest and have supported my efforts.

Thanks for such a lovely story. I loved the psychological turmoil of the wife.

As every finger print is different so do every person. And needless to say that in the same way every couple is different from the other couple. So there are millions of possibilities to happen in a given circumstances and who knows if this is happening in real.

The best of the story is the happy ending.
