Cohabitation With My Ex-Husband

"What?! Is that what you think of me? Then yes! I only think about sex! It's our first sex after a month! Can't I get my satisfaction first?!

Michael subconsciously raised his voice, he did admit that he always asked his wife to have sex, but that was because they didn't have sex regularly.

They had only been married for two years but were already in a sexless marriage, of course he would continue to ask that with his wife.

He has his needs!

If they had sex regularly, he certainly wouldn't asked it with his wife.

How could his wife accuse him like that?

"What?! Is that the reason you married me? Because you wanted to have sex?"

Michael didn't expect that his wife would accuse him more by saying that it was the reason he married her, because of the sex!

Why did his wife turn out like this? The woman knew that he married her because he loved her, but why…?

Michael's mind couldn't think calmly because his wife's words really hurt him.

"Then what about you? Didn't you marry me for money? Because my family is rich?"

Something kicked Michael's mind as he watched his wife stay silent, he finally realized that he had just said something very hurtful.

He immediately regretted it and wanted to apologize, but his wife told him to get out. She didn't want to listen to his explanation or be touched by him.

He finally decided to come out of the room with a still annoyed face.

Why did everything turn out like this?

Not knowing where to go, Michael decided to sleep on the sofa, hoping that it would calm him down a bit.

Not long after, Michael heard their bedroom door open again and his wife called his name.

Who is Elizabeth? What were you doing in the hotel with her?!"

Michael took a deep breath when he heard that. Why did his wife come back to talk about this again? He had already explained who the woman was!

"Bullshit! How she's a nobody but you helped her find a job and she thanked you for what you did at the hotel! Please be honest with me, Michael!"

Michael fell silent when he heard his wife's words, he held his hair in both hands, his face looking frustrated.

Does he have to explain what happened yesterday? He went to a bar with a man as an alibi to get some money?

Then… he also has to say that Elizabeth is the woman he met at the bar and works to sell her body?

Michael threw that option away, what he did yesterday was shameful and he wanted to bury it as deep as he could.

Likewise with that woman, it's her privacy.

"I've been honest with you! She was a nobody! About that, it's her privacy! I can't tell you!"

However, it seemed that his wife didn't like the answer he gave. Even though he was telling the truth, she was a nobody.

"You're having an affair with her?!"

Michael didn't expect his wife to accuse him like that again. His feelings hurt. How could his wife think like that after what he did?

He works hard for his wife, for their future, he is willing to do shameful things in order to save his company which is the source of his income.

He even stays faithful and doesn't have sex with other women when he has the opportunity, but his wife accuses him of having an affair?

Michael had tried to explain it, telling her he couldn't share Elizabeth's privacy, but he didn't know why his wife kept insisting on it.

"Whatever! I'm too lazy to argue with you! All you need to know, I only love you!"

Michael finally decided to go back to sleep and not prolong this argument, his wife was probably still tired from her work, he should give her some time to calm down, before he said something that he would regret later.

However… Once again it turned out that he was wrong.

"I want a divorce."

Michael, who was raising his cup of coffee, stopped in mid-air when he heard that. He looked at his wife sitting on the sofa. His wife's appearance looked like a mess, it looked like she didn't get enough sleep.

"Are you still angry? I told you it's not what you think!" said Michael then stood up and walked over to his wife. He thought his wife would not discuss last night's matter as it was a new day. Shouldn't his wife's mind be clear and no longer emotional?

"Then explain it!" his wife's voice was demanding.

Michael's hands ruffled his hair again, his face looking frustrated. Why is his wife behaving like this?

"Explain now or today we are going to take care of our divorce!" continued his wife.

Michael looked at his wife's face who was looking at him right now, dark circles clearly visible in her eyes and her face looked tired, but even so, her eyes looked very hurt.

"You're asking for a divorce just because of what happened last night? Aren't you too much to ask for a divorce over a trivial matter?" Michael asked back, not at all expecting his wife to ask for a divorce just because of the message a woman sent him.

"Trivial matter?" Michael could see his wife let out a hollow laugh.

"You're making it look like I'm the crazy one here. You just need to explain what happened!"

"I already told you that nothing happened! Why can't you trust me?! Did you not love me anymore so you asked for a divorce?!" Michael subconsciously raised his voice.

What's wrong with his wife? Never once in his nightmares did he think his wife would ask for a divorce.

"Michael, how can I trust you if you can't be trusted? You can't even explain it even when our marriage is in this position!" Michael could see the bitter smile on his wife's face.

"Besides, be honest with me. Were you happy during our two-year marriage?"

Michael fell silent when he heard his wife's question. Although the two of them rarely eat together, rarely see each other, rarely have sex, and rarely talk.

But he still remembers how happy he was when he was finally able to marry the woman he loves. He had survived this long because he thought about the future they were building, and remembered how he felt when he married his wife.

Several times, Michael was indeed hurt by their situation like this, but never once did Michael think that he was unhappy married to his wife, let alone regretted it.

Does that mean… his wife is not happily married to him?

"Okay, let's just get a divorce," Michael said finally then got back up and walked back to the dining table. He then raised his right hand to wipe away the tears that were running down his cheeks.

If divorce can make his wife happy, then he will do it for her.

Michael then drank the rest of his coffee and took his suit which was placed on the chair.

"Because you want a divorce, you take care of it and just give me the paper," Michael said then immediately left the apartment.

He did say that they were just getting a divorce, but he couldn't do it. He didn't want to do it, not because the process is complicated and takes time, but because he can't do it.

In his heart, Michael can only hope that his wife really won't do that, she only said that because she was emotional or stressed because of her work.

However, Michael was once again disappointed when three days later, he came home and saw his wife sitting on the living room sofa with her suitcase.

"I have already taken care of the divorce papers as you said. You just have to sign it and then give it to the court."

Michael fell silent when he heard that, his eyes then fell on the brown envelope that was on the table. He could feel his throat dry, his eyes suddenly watering. However, Michael decided to act naturally.

"Oh, okay," Michael said curtly.

"Well then, goodbye, Michael!"

Michael could only stare at his wife who pulled her suitcase and walked towards the door. He wanted to beg and ask his wife to stay, but it seemed that his wife was really not happy to be married to him, she even took care of the divorce in three days.

Michael was still in his place, he looked dazed. Is his marriage really over? He shook his head, not wanting to believe it, he finally decided to take a look at the contents of the envelope and it turned out to be a divorce paper with his wife's signature on it.

Michael's face looked disbelieving, he stared at the paper blankly, as soon as he finally came to his senses, his both hands were holding the ends of the paper, trying to tear it apart, but he managed to restrain himself from doing so.

His wife was not happy to be married to him. This is what his wife wanted.

This will make the woman he loves… happy.
