I WISH HE CHEATED

Most people in a relationship dread the day they either catch their other half cheating or they simply find out he/she was cheating on them. the thought that he saw somebody else apart form you is what hurts the most. then follows the regret of the time you two spent together. afterward, the details- the money you spent on this ungrateful human, the friends you bailed because of him/ her. the parties you missed because he was sick. (I have at this point decided to use he as my case in point). you know, the little things that make you actually believe that being hypnotized is real.
but, what if the day comes that you live wishing that he made a mistake so you could leave him? what if you fell in love with two people and as each day passes, you constantly wish that it was the other one?
lets call her Mara. she had a great man by his side who evidently adored her. however, the bug of the ex bit her.( remind me again, why are exes usually more interesting than bae. you know, the ex whom you just stopped talking to, not that you two fought or something.)
Peter, was a fashion blogger and a poet. so, he was a creative like her. she sought him out on face book and eventually on whats app. and boy, wasn't he way more fun than her bae Raphael. he actually got her jokes and went along with her sarcasm. eventually, she began to look forward to Peters conversations which i might add effortlessly trailed late into the night.
even though Mara knew that Raphael loved her, try as she might, their chats would last 15min before he explained how tired he was and needed to rest because he had work the next day, you see Raphael was an accountant. they basically had nothing to talk about save for complaints of fatigue and boring details about one meeting or the other.
with Peter, they connected artistically. they would exchange links, and share blogs.
Mara was a good girl, no; she could not possibly break up with Raphael. A midst his dull jokes and lack of conversational skills, he still was the most caring man she had ever met. He knew when she needed him. and he had been there for her through very dark times in her life, actually he was the only one who had been there to hold her hand and tell her, it would be okay.
as selfish as it sounded, but thank God it was only in her head; what if she caught him ccheating. then she would leave and go to be in the arms of Peter. and they would have this fairy tell union where the man always perfectly understand the woman.
ooh well, at this stage of her life, she knows that what a woman really needs is a man to stand with her in the darkness and whisper 'bae is here'.a man who will hold her till she calms down and the tears are dry.
 she could try to simplify the jokes for him so that he laughs... maybe.
