Adultery the Yes View

As i lay here in my hospital bed Many thoughts run through my head Unable to move a limb Is it fair to my husband Jim A man has itches That need to be scratched As long as he pays for it I can live with that May sound so clinical But thats just life After the accident Can no longer be his wife. Can no longer hold him Or feel the love that he gives Fate played a cruel blow When i was left to live, .

Interesting write! If married couples actually THOUGHT really hard about what their decisions would cause instead of thinking of instant gratification maybe their decisions for an instant itch to be soothed by refusing going down that road of adultery maybe divorces and broken homes would not be! But then again we're talking about humans who majority of the times are rarely satisfied. Have a beautiful week! Patricia L

I agree totally with you, I just wrote this as an alternative, using knowledge of situations like this. As a nurse I come across such things. Didnt think anyone else would write an alternative angle...Seren
