Theirs was a love marriage. He had wooed her with flowers and her favorite Swiss chocolates. The first year of marriage was blissful even. Till his eyes started straying. Till the day he came smelling of another woman.
She had thought that a child would change the equation. That he would turn over a new leaf once their baby arrived.
Packing her bags three years later, with her child in tow, she wished she knew then what she knew now.

That's the mistake many make. But, there's always hope that things will be better.

It's true, Anita. A lot of married couples have a baby when things go wrong. Most often than not, it drags an innocent child into their problems. Thanks for stopping by :)

Thanks for your kind words :) True, without self respect, there's no future for a relationship.
