He's smitten!

My brother in law is smitten -- but not with his wife, but with our neighbor’s daughter.  Just when I thought my sister who married her prince even before they could finish college would have their happily-ever-after, she found out he’s having an affair with a most unlikely mistress:  our neighbor’s daughter.

The affair started when he was complaining about how much my sister has neglected his need for a more frequent communication.  Given that he works abroad, he felt it was only imperative that his wife struggle more to keep their communication lines open -- and healthy.

 

My sister was never the chatterer that he desires.  But she is a doer.  She likes keeping the house tidy and their child prim and proper.  Everything in the household was held in perfect order.  At the end of the day, she is always exhausted and felt that her arduous daily routine was enough to exempt her from writing emails, chatting, or texting her hubby.

Unlike that woman.  She liked being a tease almost always and even thrived upon being a center of attention by strutting her stuff in skimpy clothes whenever, wherever.  She seemed to have bewitched not only those men with whom she spent many late nights rendezvous known to the general public, she also cast her spell upon my brother-in-law.

 

My sister would have perfectly understood.  She admits she has failed to extend her presence to her hubby whenever he’s abroad working. She acknowledges that such failure has deeply severed her marriage ties because in her silence, her hubby felt ignored.

But is he thus justified for choosing to seek comfort and consolation in the arms of another woman?  Or specifically, from someone who lives within the proximity of their matrimonial nest?

 

And as if the discovery of his affair with that woman was not enough, he went on to divulge the specific physical encounters he had had with her…

As of now, I and the rest of my family could not think of any sane reason why he did what he did except to spite his wife, to see to it that she is crushed, and that she would be able to languish atleast until he is satiated with his affair.

I wish none of these is true… If she used a spell to bewitch him, may he awaken very soon…

I pray tomorrow when we awake, he will once again be smitten, not by the woman next door anymore, but by his wife forevermore.
