I’m Kaori (46). My husband, Yuichi (46), comes from a family that runs a ballroom dance studio. After being told they want him to take over someday, he started sleeping over at the studio often to practice. But when I walked in at 1 AM, he was drinking beer in loungewear with his dance partner, Suzuka (45). He insists “that’s just how the ballroom world is,” but my doubts keep growing. Then, my in-laws went to check on them and caught the two sharing a futon…?
My husband still digs his heels in, claiming he “just accidentally fell asleep,” and refuses to admit he cheated. But as far as my mother-in-law and I are concerned, he’s guilty as charged. Getting that physically close and napping together under the same blanket makes zero sense no matter how you look at it.
That said, I couldn’t stomach the thought of him immediately remarrying Suzuka if we split up now. So for now, I’ll swallow my pride and stay in the marriage. But once our kid leaves the nest, or when he’s too old to dance… divorce is definitely in my future. That’s what happens when you break someone’s trust.
END…
